Johno's *new* Ae82 Sedan Project

[Johno]

All fixed, just had to change the wheel studs. I must have forgot to tighten that wheel up :P

 

Booked in for a Dyno tune today.

[Johno]

Done the dyno test.. :P

65.3kw @ the wheels 229Nm of torque

Now that you have a recorded 87hp go stick the JDM ecu in it.

nice work mate looking good, i have a ae82 sedan with a silvertop 20v, not as clean as yours but it does the job lol... mine made 101hp atw with 10:1 AFR's so i still got a bit to get out of it.

this thread makes me want to clean mine up a bit but I'm preoccupied with the drift car atm.

Little update.

 

Been driving it around everywhere. Its pretty much my daily now ;)

 

Got a wheel alignment done today, it was out a fair bit. I had a scare when it rained and had to drive home. Anytime i went through a large puddle it would pull the steering wheel out of my hand and want to aqua plane. got it fixed now.

 

Chucked a Jdm Ecu in. Got a second dyno run. getting 65.5fwkw and increased the torque to 235Nm on the ground. Its running a bit more rich but its more responsive with a better power curve down low.

 

And last the head gasket blew today. ;)

Any suggestions what i could do to the head while its off?

[KEhendo]

4 more valves? ;)

[Johno]

Hehe, yeah that would be nice ;)

 

False alarm, head gasket is ok ;)

[Evan G]

Hehe, yeah that would be nice :lolcry:

 

False alarm, head gasket is ok ;)

 

what caused the milky in the oil cap?

does this mean trev was correct?

 

shave down the head and port el polisho ;)

[Johno]

Yeah, trev was right, both times the oil cap has been milky it turned out later that it was condensation.

I wouldnt mind shaving the head a bit more, get a 0.8 gasket and polish the exhaust ports. Thats if the head was to come off

[Trev]

Would of been a PITA to pull it apart and find that.

[Paul]

I like what you've done with this car so far. Needs twinky stickers though.

[Johno]

Cheers :(

 

Still not sure whats happening to this.. still doing strange things :P

 

Hunting idle comes and goes

Oil cap has gone like a chocolate milkshake but oil is still clear honey in the sump then the oil cap clears up again :D

sometimes I hear water under dash then other times not, even with heater on.

I'm loosing water from somewhere but can't find a leak

Temp gauge almost goes to red then back down to half again and does this 3-4 times on a 40min drive

big oil leak from cam covers and front of cam gear housing and some leaks from the head on gearbox side

 

I feel like just taking it to the mechanics to get all fixed but wheres the fun in that (plus it costs money) and I'm broke ATM :no:

and not only that, my daily decided to blow a heater hose today, prob jealous that i been with the corolla for so long. EL fords are a prick to work on, just had to help my mate change a coil on his EB.

AND i have to work tomorrow just get get some cash together so i can't work on either car :hmm:

The water under the dash & The temp guage rising then falling could be caused by an air lock in your cooling system.

 

Try idling the car for a while with the radiator cap off and see if any of it bubbles to the top.

Cheers for the reply :D. I bleed the cooling system 3 times and its still getting air in the system. Oil cap is clean again today.. Wtf??
