1jz Ke55

[chappo12]

lol it would be funny if the jz wasn't ready so you drove it around with the k motor with all those goods

[1JZKe55]

Squat! :hmm: Loving the diff and rear suspension. Convo Pro's are killer.

 

Now I've read in a few threads and have been told by a couple of people that when you're welding a really long stretch

of weld, it's best to do it in short strips and leave a gap before the next one. The reason being is that if the weld breaks,

it might crack along the whole weld... I see that there's lots of LONG welds in your engine bay and since you're running

lots of power (I assume so :bash: ) it is unlikely, but it could crack in the event of the chassis twisting... But, since you're

a bloody handy panel fabricationer, you must have a reason for doing the job how you've done it.

 

Hey

yes your sooo right but somethings you can't stitch weld and has to be fully welded the fire wall was 1 of those

 

the firewall is made of 6 individual bits of steel welded together if i stitched it together it wouldn't have enough strength in it

 

you really gotta make sure when your welding that you get enough penetration in your weld you should be able to see it coming through to the other side of what ever your welding

 

for those people who wanna seam weld their whole car don't your better off welding 25mm leave 40mm weld 25mm leave 40mm and so on just as strong and you wont warp your car as much :y:

 

just something for the hell of it in the earlier photos of the car been held up by the block and tackle i welded 2 half chain links to the xmember just sort of an idea how strong my welding is i've passed all my x ray testing 1st time every time

Cheers thanks for that,

 

Youre kinda at the same stage as me with my ke55 starting to mount everything and prep for paint, but ive only got a 4agte going in mine.

 

Whats the plan for the 1j? you just gonna run a stock bottom end or upgrade it to forgies? cause you can get a hell of alot of power out of a standard 1j with an upgraded turbo.

 

Cheers, Keelan

[KETURBO25]

I just want you to know that your living my dream, lol, i would kill to have a 1j in my ke25,

 

(though id probably end up dead if i got it)

yeah the plan is to leave the motor standed at this stage but with all the bolt on's got a gt35r turbo custom exhust manifold 890cc injectors big waste gate the normal stuff looking for around 350+rwkw should be enough to make it fun to drive with a 5 speed :no2:
