motor is in, should be running tomorrow if i get time!! -
yeah probs not, mine did have another rattle similar to yours, sounded bad but never got any worse after a few rounds of racing..

cars looking great man, wish i had my gze ke70 on the road now haha, one thing to check although it is probably not it, the afm on these have a big metal flap that opens, on mine at idle it used to slap around a bit and make a similar noise to that although it is hard to tell from a vid haha :y:
-
think iv'e got 4 of them, can't remember if they hinge or not, if you want more ill have a look at them to see what they are like :y:

Pretty big update, Engine is mostly back together, just gotta port match the manifold the tiny little bit thats allowed, then might get it glass beed blasted, pretty exited, wont be long till its going now!! will let the pics do the talking.. sump cleaned up well, note the difference between it the vt sump, and the later vy sump, earlier is baffled... vy sump, not baffled and has thing hanging off the back.. as it sits now thoughts? :y: -
yeah, they are a pretty nice setup motor standard, i think people just hate them because they go with commodores haha
-
yeah shouldn't be too hard, was just making sure you knew :y:
-
you might already know, but just incase you didn't the port spacing is different on ecotec's to the older v6's, on the older ones the inlet ports are all pretty close together, and the exhaust ports 2 are close together and one is alot further away, where as on the ecotec the inlets are spaced evenly too but are all further apart, and the exhaust ports are all spaced evenly, so they won't match the ports straight to each other, cheers
-
NICE!!
-
the original ones look fine, just thought alloy would look more race like, most people seem to use about 0.6mm alloy so not too bad
-
looks good mate, maybe put the door trims back on or maybe even some alloy door trims would be cool, good job mate
-
either way is good, i really wanna build a hot n/a ecotec with no rules to follow, and want one in a old toyota, most likely a ke70 though. my v6 i'm building atm for my racecar will be around 280hp, there is still a few little things the rules allow you to do, but the cost a fair bit for little gain, but for now it will be fine
-
are you set on going turbo? the series i'm getting in are around 300hp, not allowed to do a whole lot to get that either, rpm is set at 6250rpm, pretty much no port work, just heads shaved, cam and a adjustable ecu, can adjust fuel and timing, not allowed to change rev limit, so if you revved one to 7k, some porting and maybe twin throttle bodies, heads shaved and a cam would easy make 300-350 and would sound sweet. thats just just me though, i do prefer the sound of n/a motors haha
-
haha, should get some vids of it!
-
what sort of power are you going for and how much do you think it will cost?
-
looks pretty cool mate, should be a fun car!
-
looks sick guys
-
OH MY GOD, that looks so awesome :y: haha
