Ke35- 4agze

[ChrisGT]

As some of you may know i bought millers ke35 coupe off him a couple of months ago.

 

 

 

I'm gonna put a ae101 4agze with sc14 in it.

 

I have already pulled out the 4k and started to fit the 4a, gonna make some custom engine mounts:

 

 

 

watch this space for all the progress!

[ChrisGT]

some of the work ive done so far:

 

The boot had a fair amont of surface rust so i fixed it all up and painted it

 

Before

 

 

After

 

 

the ke30 brake booster and pajero MC all cleaned up and ready for the hilux 4pots!

That car still looks HOT!!! I'll be looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Hell yes! A GZE and Miller's KE35 is a match made in heaven. I've got Cortina engine mounts in my KE55 with 4A-GZE. The only trouble is the passenger side one will snap very quickly unless you create some sort of strapping to limit how far the engine can move under hard acceleration.

ok cool. well i test fitted ae71 mounts and they fit in without the rubbers. So i just designed new ones off the ae71 mounts and shortend them by the thickness of the rubbers. the only problem I'm having is that my alternator is hitting my sway bar did you have this problem?

[ancullen]

I didn't do the conversion, but nothing is hitting or rubbing on mine.

[irokin]

Perhaps the belt is streched? Can you adjust the altenator so it doesnt touch? Might be able to get a shorter belt or something...

[Raven]

I think you can get different brackets to mount the alternator in a different position as the FWD and RWD 4AGE's mount the ancillaries in different spots due to the way the engine is situated in both layouts of the cars.

[ChrisGT]

yeah on a 4age you can mount the alt on the drivers side but on a gze that is where the supercharger is and the alt on a gze doesn't adjust like a 4age it has a separate adjuster....if that makes sense?!

I'm gonna keep aircon but of course not have power steering.

 

ill work something out...maybe jus modify the bracket and put the alt where the power steering is

Adjuster = Tensioner :lock:

[ChrisGT]

for the fuel syatem ill be running a 2 litre surge tank, bosch 910 fuel pump and vl pre-pump in the tank.

will hopefuly get it all in the car this weekend.

 

also got my intercooler and oil cooler, with oil filter relocator.

 

last weekend i did some painting...painted the cam covers and resprayed half of the engine bay cross member, sway bar and stuff.

 

Looks so clean now, all ready for the gze to be dropped in!

Thanks...for the boot i just stripped it, degreased it all, then high pressure cleaned it, sanded it back, washed it out again, and then used a wax and grease remover. I painted it with body denitor in a spray can...so i didnt use a primer as apparently that stuff sticks to anything.

 

As for the SC I'm going to use a SC14 instead of the SC12 to get more boost.

wow that things gona haul !

 

good work :D

Got my seats in today.

 

I bought Recaro copies off ebay, they came with universal rails but figured out it would be easier to modify the existing seat rails and make new mounting points on the new seats.

 

These are the old and new seat mounting points:

 

 

As you can see the new seats mounting points are closer together so I made some brackets to space them out horizontally and drilled new holes in the rails to fit them vertically:

 

 

and the finished product:
