vyoll8 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) well i sold my ke30 during the week and went and bought this the plan is to have a go at drifting and in my opinion this is a great car to learn in as the body isnt the best and it can't be regoed so it doesnt matter if i dent it :laff: the best part about it is it's already set up for sliding with the suspention consisting of ae86 front struts, new shocks and vl springs, ae86 vented disks and calipers with braided lines and corona control arms. whilst the rear end has new boge turbo rear shocks and falcon springs making the car stiff as f**k the drive train is pretty much done with the exeption of a cracked piston ring which is as simple as a rebuild to fix sporting a pretty much 4k with the exeption of a acl head shim to drop compression and soften the punch of the sc14 blower that pumps 16psi of air and fuel into the combustion chambers, fuel is fed into the blower via the 45mm sidedraught webber the power get's to the wheeks via the k50 5 speed (which currently has stock clutch until i can afford a new 1 after the engine rebuild) then into the locked ke70 diff interior atm is all stock besides the fixed back sparco race seat and 4 point harness but i plan on stripping it all out this weekend coming and only leaving the drivers seat and dash in it plans for it are of course rebuilding the engine and putting a decent size cam in and getting a set of extractors for it, stripping the interior and getting a decent set of dished rims anyway thats enough for now heres some pic's thankyou for looking Edited August 19, 2011 by vyoll8 Quote
Taz_Rx Posted August 7, 2011 Report Posted August 7, 2011 Welcome! The cracked piston would make me wonder if anything has been done about retarding timing? Quote
vyoll8 Posted August 7, 2011 Author Report Posted August 7, 2011 it was driven with standard timing and no decomp plate when the setup was put on the motor and thats when it snapped but i have a locked dizzy and decomp plate to put on when the new motor is built Quote
vyoll8 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Posted August 19, 2011 bit of a update... i picked up 2 15x7 roh rims not really drift but better than the celica rims and i got them cheap didnt like silver so i painted them black they look ok on the car and will do for now also i took the bumpers off and painted the grill headlight surrounds and parker lense's black also i got a few weeks off work so I'm going to start the rebuild on the motor soon so should have it all up and running in about a month :yes: Quote
vyoll8 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) also heres a pic of the blower and ae86 struts and brakes brakes should look alright with a little paint :wink: Edited August 19, 2011 by vyoll8 Quote

SLO-030 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 Hey mate, loving the blown K engine. Any chance of getting some pics of the setup, particularly around the engine mount, the lower mount and timing cover. Quote

SLO-030 Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 No problems, any chance a shot of that top mount? I have a lower mount for my SC12, just need to work out a top mount. Quote
**chumps** Posted August 21, 2011 Report Posted August 21, 2011 My old set-up :) was making 120rwkw on my old 4k with 16psi but it had some head work, cam, and was decomp, one thing I will say tho is put a strong clutch in it, went through 2 standed ones and one hd, put a puck clutch in it ftw Quote
vyoll8 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Posted August 21, 2011 yeah ill get a pic when i go out to where the car is as itsat my bro's 40 mins away from my house and chumps yeah i know the guy you bought it off is a great set up and makes awesome power my plan is to build the motor to the specs it was when you had it, sounded like a bridgeport rotor and smoked tyres so easily :fuzz: Quote
