[Herbert The Panel Van]

hey guys been gone for a while! I'm actually getting back in to the panel van!

i have been in the rotary game for a while now had a couple first gen rx7's currently have a 2001 fd rx7 what i just pop the motor in but i got my new shed going up to rebuild my fd and single turbo it.

going to clear the defect on the ksev and give it a paint and put a 7age or a 4age in just need gear box. got all the parts for a 7age build so see what happens then work out wheels!

 

[Herbert The Panel Van]

Tune in soon 😎😎😎 should be back in a couple weeks! With a lot more going on 👍

[7K Weight]

Does any one know the weight of 7k with every thing on it? Trying to work out weight for shipping, can't find it any where.

Cheers guys

Been tough having this sit, I recently bought a s3 rx7 that needs work but runs overrated for $200. It's been getting most the love. I've also had a shoulder reco so can't work on either. Hoping to have this back on the road in the next couple of months. Can't wait to drive it again, will get a paint then most likey sold sadly. Or I chuck the 7afe in it and use it as a daily!

[Herbert The Panel Van]

Sad news this will be up for sale soon along with all well most of my parts and rims. Conversion gear will be up for sale. Trying to save up for a new car and having 4 cars it's hard to do. Will be cleared off defect the up for sale. If your interested send me a pm

[Herbert The Panel Van]

ummm this engine is now going in my track car, it was way to much hassle to put it in this and keep it legal. just trying to get the panel van off defect before any thing else gets done to it.

[Track Ksev]

Found this seat and harness in the back of one of our old work vans. Think I must of stashed them in there, should be good for now. Don't know weather I would be aloud to run the harness still but yeah.

This is also getting my 7afe put in it, got a gt25 ball bearing turbo coming. Ideally I wanted a disco potato. This one should be extremely quick spooling and shouldn't die of overly much. Don't know how much boost I can actually run, but work that out when it's set up. The 7afe at the moment is bare motor just going to clean it up. If it goes pop it goes.

 

Trying to find a half decent gearbox that isn't going to hurt the wallet but be pretty strong. Doesn't have to fit cause ill make it fit. Any ideas?

 

Little undecided about the plenum to, either keep the stock one and hope it helps with supplying torque down low or I go down the custom road.

 

Plan with the engine isn't to have it high revving. But to have strong low and mid torque.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

so ive got my cross member and engine mounts now. had a look tonight, need to mod the sump alittle bit but thats nothing. the engines going to be on a little lean what I'm unsure about.

[Track Ksev]

That's the plan got most of it laying around, but will still need to sort out for later on down the track. As its getting quite a nice power plant what will need a bit more than just the simple bits. Going to be good to drive on track and not worrying about hurting people or getting done by the cops.

[Track Ksev]

nothing really has been done with this, its been fully stripped and thats about it. I'm starting to get it ready for a cage to go in, engine wise theres big surprise that will take a year or so to build. alot of work but it will be porn, but very risky for now it will either get my 4k or 7age for now. i have applied for a engine conversion for my panel van so if i get approved this will get my 4k what will be rebuilt balanced then my side drafts back on. if i get denied then it will get a high compression 7age for now.

 

suspension will be getting worked unsure what i want to achieve at the rear but figure that out soon enough. should get updates going a bit more now see how we go.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

well i got the 7afe out the back of my track car, and actually had a decent look at it. i pulled the rocker covers off and had a look, looks healthy cams don't have wear. i don't know the kays of the engine but it doesn't seem like its been run in to the ground. i also worked out how I'm going to do the distributor going to run it off the cam gear. also worked out manifold what will be easy as, this should get a move along soon just need to find 4a-c engine mounts.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

My ae71 cross member rocked up today, so can start mocking every thing up. Hopefully work out the water lines on the weekend.

[Underground Garage Projects]

Sweet, remember reading it awhile ago and was awesome.

[Underground Garage Projects]

It's a shame none of the pictures work any more, maybe it's just my phone.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

I'm not planning on getting this running and then a week later change it to 7age. Goal is to get this running well and then ill build a 7age and swap it. This is going to be my daily again soon, so 7afe will be fine for awhile.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

7age will happen later on down the track, as I need to take it over the pits to get registered. So needs the be stock 7afe or it wouldn't pass and I would need to get it engineered what is very costly in south Australia.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

Came with out it, plan on relocating shouldn't be a problem. Had a few ideas about the coolant system. Need to have a good look first, should be fun.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

Okay well today I spent a few hours at upullit, and pulled out a 7afe. The plugs looked good, it turns over nicely and it sounds like it has decent compression. Got most of the conversion parts already, just need to find a gear box and the conversion starts.

[7Age Into Ke70]

Yeah, I know engineering costs heaps in Adelaide but if its the only way then what else do you do. I might try with applying for vehicle modification form and see what they say. I've got brake up grades and suspension upgrades already.

[7Age Into Ke70]

I wasn't going to take it out to 5k specs, but I was going to replace all the bearings. Balence rotating assembly, and maybe put a smaller cam in. I already have a 32/36, huge cam(person who built the engine doesn't know specs but said its one on the biggest). Full exhaust, and shaved head so I was just going to freshen it up.

 

My panel van most likely won't see the road until I'm on my full licence any way, the 4k goes hard but I'm going mostly keep this car for weekend use now. So some thing a bit more fun might be what I'm looking for.

 

 

ke70dave

i know the costs involved with a conversion, the idea with the 7afe first was if i put a 4age in then the engine number comes up as a 4age. then if i put a 7age in the engine number comes up as a 7afe, meaning wouldnt i have to put it over the pits and get it re engineered meaning double the money?

[7Age Into Ke70]

screw this up some how.

[7Age Into Ke70]

Hey guys,

So i have about 7 months before i get my full licence and i'm aloud engine conversions. I was planning on rebuilding my 4k for the time being, and then do a engine conversion. Now i see that it might be a bit of a waste of time, doing all that then taking it out in 6 months time. I will also never actually drive it in that 6 months any way most likely. then there's he costs of getting it tuned and it all builds up on a engine i don't plan on using for this car. I'm in South Australia i know ill probably have to call a engineer and all that but was hoping you guys could give me a little in site.

 

Now to get on to the 7age part, I've always been interested in them and wanted to build one. So why not, I'm not going to be asking questions on how to build one or any thing like that. I'm confused how to go about it legally, and so it doesn't cost a bucket load.

 

Is the best way to get it engineered with the 7afe in, with stock ecu and all that. Then once its engineered, build it up to a 7age. If done this way, does it have to be re engineered? or am i better off building up the 7age and getting it engineered like that? i know i will have to call a engineer, but i would like a little info to stand on before calling them.

 

Thanks guys any help would be great.

[Herbert The Panel Van]

This is why I had so much trouble trying to fit these rims under stock guards. Longer LCA's there was no way rolling the guards was going to help me.

So I've out stock ones back in but wheel alignment is out by along way, I have a feeling I'm going to have positive camber even with camber tops all the way in.

[N00B Ke70 Panel Van Questions.]

If you want a tacho dash, they arnt just plug and play. You have to change all the wires in the plugs to get then to work. Not overly hard, you can find a guide how to do it on here. Just thought I would throw that in.
