Roo's Ke20

[Roo]

hey

 

this is the new project, a 1974 ke20

 

atm the specs are:

 

Engine Specs

4k engine with fresh rebuilt

bored out 60" with new ACL pistons

Ported & Polished Head

double valve springs

Custom Grind Cam Done by Tighe Cams

webber 32/36

tuned length extractors and 2" exhaust system

Crow Cams Electronic ignition

Electric dizzy

Rebuilt 5spd gearbox

 

suspension:

front is cut springs

new shocks

adjustable lcas

New Front DBA Rotors with Bendix CT Pads.

The Calipers have been rebuilt and gold Anidiozed

New wheel Bearing Kits

rebushed

 

rear looks like reset springs

added swaybar

 

 

and now the pics

front (she is sexy, got cold air induction)

 

 

interior, pretty shit but will fix her up

 

 

the beast of a engine

 

my new front brakes and adjustable lcas

 

 

cam is really lumpy so idle is like a rotor but i guess the exhaust doesnt help

 

 

 

so the plans:

 

full respray, better front suspension, full retrim, new rims, new exhuast

 

will get a vid of her idling soon

 

so what you guys think?

 

cheers andrew

I'm not normally a fan of the ke20 shape, but I must say that she's got a real period 70's street tough look happening with the stance and wheel/tyre combo on it. :sob:

 

I like the colour, suits it well.

 

You might need to throw some stock LCA's on it for RWC.

can get them, not sure never driven a ke20 before and havent been able to drive this yet

[Rolliac]

Those engine specs sound good. Like the wheel and tire combo too. Kind of muscle car look.

 

Reminds me of this car.

lol and it sounds just like that too

1) throw that carby setup as FAR as you can throw it. Replace with 2x DCOE 40mm Side-Loveing Mommys

2) put 45° internal shamfer angle on all extractor ports (Not on the cyl head) ensuring the shamfer external surrouding edge is larger than that of the exhaust port on the head

3) Throw solid fan into bin, mount thermo fan

4) Throw that Valvoline filter in the bin, get an old school Toyota genuine one (re: oil pressure related stuff(s))

5) de- paint the engine bay. +10 HP atw.

 

You wont know the car if you do those few things. Seriously, it will make a woooorld of difference.

 

1) $300 Carbs, $100 linkage $100 manifold $300 tuneing' $100 misc. parts, $150 Trumpies = $$ about a Grand give or take

2) Dremel end $80 on air compressor wizz tool

3) $150

4) $25

5) $-

 

:wink:

This sounds interesting but I’m not 100% sure what you’re talking about. Would you care to elaborate please?

[Budowski]

wow this car brings back memories almost like my old 20, tuff beast dude.

[Teddy]

This sharp edge effectively stops the reversion process, contaminating the fresh mix into the cyl.

1. that was the plan

2. will get that done, will catch you on msn

3. got a new radiator with twin thermos to put in it

4. was going to get new filter when i change the oil on it

5. she is going to get a full respray so the engine bay will be minty fresh, battery might be going in the boot and shit

 

cheers for the comments

Hey nice car Roo.

 

I dunno whats going on there, but I thought conventional wisdom had the swaybar attaching to the diff and the body. I can't work out what that will do, except maybe stopping tramp? Seems odd, I'm sure from another angle we could see whats going on better... I have little to no experience tuning leaf rear ends.
