Other thing to bare in mind is having an engine like that will need a fairly chunky gearbox and diff....which will as weight. Would this get you over the line if you were a bit under the 1000kg you need to fit the engine legally?

They used to have a live steam on 10 play but that's probably been lost in the deal too. Home of big event motorort maybe!

Ah I remember seeing your setups earlier now. I found a nice spun stainless lid off one of our coffee/tea/sugar jars that looks really good, don't think I'll use the Teflon cap. Yeah if you have it all on an engine stand to set it up that will make life a lot easier. You could build some adjustment into the sensor on the timing cover to fine tune timing, however it'll probably be a lot easier with a few button presses on the ecu. I can foresee you might want some adjustment on how deep the sensor protrudes into the cover though to get a reliable pulse. Another thing to bare in mind might be weather you'll get any pulse issues from the sensor being splashed with oil. My current reluctor sensor can start getting some issues at start when the sensor gets slightly dirty.

Its not a stupid idea at all. But....given the dizzy runs off the Cam it also does only 1 rev per 2 crank. If you were to do the same thing you're talking about but into a stripped dizzy housing you're going to end up with a pickup that is a lot more accessible to all components. You can also remove the entire unit to work on it on a bench rather than hunched over the radiator tinkering with the Cam sprocket. Also don't know about you but I don't think removing a Cam cover is much fun without having the motor out and being able to drop the whole sump. Fyi I have some pics of the custom k/sr20 crank angle sensor I built recently in my builds thread.

If you plan on doing any sort of break upgrade in the future then a bigger MC might not be a stupid idea. There's a few different types of Nissan MC's that will bolt straight onto a 30 booster. Have a search around the forum and you'll find what others have used.

They're different between 30 and 55. You can easily swap a 55 master into a 30 but you have to swap the booster too as the bolt spacing/angle is also different.

Pm inbound. For an old fat who types slow you definitely seem to know your way around the emoticon section! ;)

Hey guys, I've got a k-w bell with fork etc and a 200mm flywheel machined ready to go that I might be willing to let go for the right price. Fw is full weight though so freight might bit be that cheap.

You can kick the engine over a little bit, I have 9mm of shims under the passenger side mount as my waste gate its really close to the chassis rail. You can't go much more than that before you run out of thread on the stud. Remember it will also kick the shifter over towards you.

If its tuned well and maintained it will take it, my motors have never been anything real spacial. With a t2 I reckon you'd be better off grabbing another cog than revving the date out of it.

Hehe, you think 10 is fun...wind it up to around 15-17! At least with the draw-through you don't have to worry about fuel pressure issues when upping the boost.

If its straight through with no muffler I would highly recommend putting one on. You'll be amazed what it will do for the mid range. When my old one snapped off, I gained maybe just a slight bit more flow right at the top of the rev range but it want worth what was lost in the mid. Got a new offset straight through put on a couple of weeks later and was really surprised what I was missing.

I found exhaust size and back pressure can make a fair bit of difference in mid range response and spool rate. What type of muffler do you have on the end of said 2.5" pipe?

Otherwise use some poly pipe from bunnings until Monday lol

Could try Autobahn...or maybe even supercheap, they have that sort of thing for mounting fully hetik pod filters on your commodore.

You'd probably be surprised at the similarity of capacity between a k and commodore radiator, the commodore one obviously does have a bigger surface area. Commodores do also run at quite a higher pressure and temp range. The thermo fan actually doesn't turn on until 103°! Another option is you could always just get a 3 row core grafted into the Ke10 end tanks. You probably wouldn't get much change from about $400 with that option though.

Yeah I did cut away a fair bit of the front panel to maximise the radiator, a bit of that was also to make way for the cooler and piping. After stripping the whole front end yesterday I was reminded how little was left lol. Btw after getting that rad out is amazing how much it bent and twisted without leaking!

Just measured my commodore one for you. Its about 700 wide by 480 high. I started having some issueswith heat when I first got my turbo 4k running well, the stock one just wasn't up to the job anymore. Have been running commo rads since and have always had good temps... Provided you use a thermo fan for stop start city traffic. They're really easy to fit in k's as the inlet/outlet are in the same spot, you just need a longer top hose. My first one developed an unfixable hole (from the way I mounted the thermo) so I ended up buying a new one from my local repro for $126....needed car back on the road asap and it was in stock. That's now bent from the roo I hit a couple of weeks ago so I'm going to get myself something like this.... http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/151387501551?nav=SEARCH

V6 commodore radiators are pretty easy to adapt. I might get around to removing mine tomorrow, if so I could get you a width...which I foresee would be your biggest issue in a Ke10. There's pics of mine in my project thread.

I could be wrong.... But wouldn't the weight of the diff really not have much bearing on the function of the rear sway bar, being unsprung weight?

....or jump on the t3 website again!

Yes they will be cheaper....but who's to say you won't be in the same situation in a matter of months, weeks or even days. They're a consumable item. Buying second hand shocks is like buying second hand socks!

I imagine the same as using wet news paper, just with bread instead.
