Yeah the early ones with the 2.5lt (when rex was 2lt) were bloody near faster than the wrx!.... GT that is obviously.

Hmmm, yeah cold starting in the morning is my biggest issue still. Did you get a fuel pressure gauge? If so will yours hold fuel pressure once switched off or does it drop off to 0? Also how did you go with the idle bypass?

Small update....... Less than 100km of run-in K's to go now. Might look into booked the road tuning in 2 weeks time (w/e after long w/e)....... Can't wait for more rpm and boost! Recently offloaded a heap of left over parts too, so I now also have funds for tuning. Anybody want some extractors???

Aren't you in tas? I thought tarmak had closed!

I wonder if that's the same set relisted? Maybe somebody didn't want to cough up $1300 odd!

I'm pretty sure the old ke10 gearboxes had a smaller spline clutch kit. No biggy though, just put the original 3k flywheel and clutch kit onto the back of the 4k. Apart from that everything should be fine. You might however just want to swap some of the 3k ancilaries (water pump, thermo housing, alternator etc) to make you're life super easy and they do change slightly.

Is it just the stock bracket flipped over and bolted on the other side?

Funny that cause I originally bought that ecu off ebay and iirc the ad said something about an fj20! Was 5+ years ago now though.

Any swap meets in hobart? You might not find something toyota, but generic and old school enough to suit your taste.

Who do you think helped me assemble it! lol His "rrrrrrrmmmmmmm psssssch" (as he calls it) addiction is getting a bit out of hand lately! ....Oh and he helped me bleed the brake in the mazda last night.

There's not much wiring on a K so pretty much forget that. Just get the 4k, strip it down to a "long block" and just transfer all the 3k bits on. Carby, dizzy, alternator etc etc.

Still need one? I'll post you one for $20...... which is more so for postage and motivating me enough to do it. PM me if interested.

G strings work best! :P

lol, beat me to it Jono. At least we gave him consistent info! ;)

Why do you find all the bargains Gav!? That my friend is indeed "rocking horse shite" in the form of a cable K-T bellhousing. Gearbox is a TA22/T18 style T50, which has the shifter position the same as a 30/55 style box. If you've also got a k50 in then the tailshaft will also slip straight in with no mods. So to fit it all you really need to do is get a new clutch kit (the K-T's use the kit listed by most clutch companies as "Some 5 speeds" with the 21 spline shaft) and sort out a cross member...... which could just be a matter of rotating it 180 degrees.

Yeah some of those 15x8, 0 toyo industry things wearing Potenza semis. I've also got a pair of 15x10 0's Since it was last on the road some of the updates include: Above new wheels Prepped & painted flares in satin black New stainless flare bolts Flare piping Tinted windows All new window flocking Central locking Passenger door swap with "Dirt"...... think it was the last perfectly straight panel on Dirt and Tar's had a slight dent. Dash fixed and repainted I just had a few things that required the car to be off the road for a little while. Never planned for it to be around 12 months! :rolls:

So I've been doing a little road tuning lately. Have got it driving, and more importantly starting really well now. Went out for a little drive yesterday and got a couple of pics...... Now have around 450km on the motor. Its currntly getting the rear screen tinted today, I removed all of the side glass to get that done. Heaps better result as tyhe tint goes under all the rubber and flocking instaed of 1-2mm off the edge. Oh and here's a pic of Byron lapping my valves....

Correct

I don't think its that easy. Bruce and I tried nearly every other k shifter in a 55 k50 once and nothing else would work.... As he said.

Google kemotorsport

Plus I believe they're pumped full of an inert gas while welding.

Have you taken said pump out of the tank yet? If not, just because it has a wiring plug doesn't mean its a pump..... Maybe its a level device!?

I reckon even just idle oil pressure would bleed out the cooler pretty quickly

Hate to say I've never had my own o2 sensor, but I'm going to get one rather soon so I can do some more tuning myself.. I've always known it needed some more off boost, drive-ability tuning. Thats why its being road tuned this time,.... rather than getting a sheet with a number in the corner.

S1 rx7 brakes are nothing special at all. S4-5 on the other hand is definately worth doing, then just redrill in 4x110 like I did on my rx4.
