Our Old 1300 Rally Car

[TRD ke70]

We won the mainland rally 1300cc championship in this car in 1992.

daymn, how did you build that engine?

[TRD ke70]

It was a standard bottom end, including pistons, the cam was a 43/78, trd uprite kit, 2 dellortos, ported head with 12:1 cr, running avgas, only revved to 8 grand.

 

nothing special!!

 

But f@$k it went like a dog shot in the ass.

Up to 100km it would keep up with a mazda 4wd turbo.

[anastasios]

what gearbox did you run behind it? and where did you get the upright kit from?

[TRD ke70]

The gearbox was a standard k50, we did have a TRD close box but never used it in rally's as it was shit.(wrong ratios)

We bought the last TRD up rite kit that was available in NZ at the time(1988) if i remember right.

What a screamer. Awesome! :blush:

 

 

NZ must be a fantastic yet terrifying place to rally. Some of the unguarded drops I saw while I was over there, bugger that!

[philbey]

that's a weapon, imagine that motor in something even lighter like a 10 or 20!

was the 323 4wd shit? not saying yours is slow but was it pretty much stock the 323?

No it was another rally car, and he was a mate of ours.

Don't forget, power to weight ratio.

 

I'm not sure what diff ratios he ran either, but he was surprised as much as we were.

Many times in rally's it would hose 4wd turbos, and the current one does the same, and it's only 1500cc.

Legendary stuff, guys.

[marksKE25]

whats a trd upright kit?

[Hiro Protagonist]

whats a trd upright kit?

 

The K-motor normally sits on a lean towards the passengers side (ie the intake/exhaust side). An upright kit rotates the engine so it doesn't sit on a lean, which helps for adding side-draught carbies (otherwise you have clearance issues with the strut tower)
