Hey all, i have been researching, but maybe not enough i recently got an oil catch can, i have seen on this site on how to install them on a carby but not EFI I have an EFI 5k Turbo setup, there are 2 outlets on the rocket cover one in the middle and one towards the end (firewall) the middle one isn't connected to anything and neither is the back on it just has that check valve (one way valve) the problem i had is when i connected the middle hose to the EFI on de acceleration it was sucking oil from the engine into the manifold and blowing an insane amount of smoke! i have an oil catch can but not sure where to connect everything to. the way i …

My friend has AE90/Holden nova with dead 4A-FC twin cam carb motor. I've been looking for cheap 4A-FC but no luck, I found a low km well price 4A-FE injected motor and want to know if the carbi intake manifolds and exhuast manifold are direct bolt up fit? Also will it bolt up to the gearbox the same way? Engine mounts the same? Anyone know? I'd do a whole EFI conversion for her but she doesn't have the money.

hey my ke is alsome at the moment except for a little problem which bugs me. its running rough it wont idle at a one speed it keeps goin up and down. also when your driving and you put your foot down the car sort of stutters then takes off like it isnt getting enough air or fuel. my uncle says ive got a air leak or crap in the carby, i cleaned the carby blew it out and put a new gasket between the carby and manifold but it still doing it but not as bad. i think i might have a leak where the motor and the manifold join. this problem doesnt stop me from driving it as i just recently welded the diff up its mad goin sideways at 60k around the corner while its screaming a 5…

First things first, I'm unsure if this is the right forum, so modes please feel free to move it where ever appropriate if I've stuffed up. Ok basically I have come across a fairly clean KE70 shell and the plan is to throw in a 4k. Not just any old 4k I'll strip it down to a bare block and be building it myself. My questions are. Can anyone point me in the right direction to find forged pistons, and cam's. I'm sure I can still pick up a gasket kit etc. Also I did a quick search looking for a 4kc build but there doesn't seem to be anything. So any advice you have will be great. (Please try provide a link or atleast a picture.) Thanks guy's I know I'm a…

The pinion shaft has come loose in my diff centre and made contact with the pinion and crown wheel chipping the teeth. The pinion and crown wheel still turn ok so I would like to lock this centre via welding with my arc welder. I have a new diff for the car so don’t care how long the locker lasts. It’s always had a lot of backlash anyway. What I want to know is: • Can I weld the pinion shaft to the differential case? Would I use cast iron rods? • Do I use cast iron rods when welding the side and pinion gears? Locker will be used at the track for sliding practice. Any help would be dandy.

Yo all. Building me up a straight ghetto AE71 for 90% daily work, 10% possible drifting practice. So in this case, i have a few questions in regards to surge tanks. - Does the AE71 standard fuel tank have no baffling as standard, designating the need for an external fuel pump + surge tank setup? - If i was to place the surge tank in the boot, is it ill-advised to have my battery relocated to the boot as well? A hypothetical situation i was thinking was spark from battery into enclosed space of boot + petrol vapour = bang. - If that is not / should not be a problem, are there legality concerns in regards to the above setup on the street? Would this the…

Right, just need another brain to confirm that Ive cooked my ECU. Yesterday I was trying to fix my head light when I blew some fuses, but think I blew more than that. For a bit I had limp home mode, but then everything died, no engine light, no fuel prime, nothing. All other electrics, lights, stereo, heater etc are all still fine. Pulled the ECU out and it just revs as if it was still plugged. Anyone got one I could borrow and perhaps buy if it fixes it? Cheers

So recently bought and had installed a recon 5k motor, had all my old stuff of the 4k put on there. First question is while wearing the motor in like a grandpa ofcourse I've been noticing when I slighty put my foot down while not under load and in low revs I get a loud almost tapping sound? Second question is it worth putting a 5k started motor in or is the 4k one plenty enough? Think my current one is struggling so wanting to replace shortly. Thank you in advance Scott
