ke70dave

Its probably been done, What info do you want? -Make sure the sump fits around the ke70 cross member. if it does, drop it in and make the following: - engine mounts - gearbox mount - custom 1 piece tailshaft to an LSD diff. - Efi fuel system -Either fit the mazda radiator,. or find one about the same size that fits with the pipes on the right side. -Find mazda wiring diagram and figure out how to wire it up in ke70. skids! (after you fit an LSD diff, good brakes and good suspension) Cheaper and arguable alot better to just buy an mx5 😉

This is great. I've almost got my workshop setup to start my own attempt at some of these types of activites. More dumb questions from the penut gallery. Are you Tig welding the roll cage? or is the majority of it mig welded?

Nice update. Enjoying The pics. What sort of rod ends do you buy? Are they imperial or metric?

oh man. that's amazing. Maybe its the "Trumpet" style exhaust and apparent lack of flywheel (?) but they sound mean as.

konig rewind i think? cool as wheels

haha yer that guys concrete looks as bad as my concreteing job. but mine was for a garden shed, not a garage! Actually his looks way worse. i have previuosly used those pinching ones on a supra. which would be heavier than a corolla. i suppose even if the car is 1600kg, its only 400kg per corner. 100kg per wheel. nothing too extreme.

Interesting conundrum. I've never ever put a clutch in a fwd (thank goodness). so I've never come across it. I wonder if the input shaft is a lot shorter on a fwd so it doesn't need to be supported at the flywheel end? looks pretty short.

ive been following you on the faceballs as well. some nice stuff. I'm going to ask a dumb question, how do you get the reinforcement ridges into the steel sheet? some kind of roll/press?

not a bad workspace! love the old rollaclub sticker:)

rattle rattle rattle. once i got sick of that I put an intank pump in my ke70 tank as a lift pump, there is a how to around somewhere...better off doing that with a suitable low pressure carby pump. which i dunno if exists, but it probably does somewhere. but whats wrong with the mechanical pump? I'm all about modifying but a new mech pump should last you another 30yrs if you don't intend on needing more fuel than it needs.

on what?

Hi, have you done any of your own research?

Well i can tell you this much. I'm sick of sitting at home. This is the third week of working from home. I think i've left the house twice in that time. Internet is too damn slow, my work laptop has 3 VPN layers to to anything so it exaggerates the issue. And really its only the beginning of this shamozzle. e30 might even get de-registered as its unlikely to leave the garage before....christmas?

Great to see it still looking so good.

Surely by now every k engine has either been repurposed into a great wall or requires a rebuild.

Damn that looks like fun.

I put similar roof racks on the wifes forestor. Aldi 80bucks? the next day i put 300 fence palings on them. They are not as straight as they once were. but they didnt break! so next time i need to carry 350 palings i know im good.

it is amazing how many things you find on top of your car once you install roof racks. Think "ill never really use them, but id better get them". nekminut every weekend something is on the roof! Since the suspension is Gt4 there should be some good options around.

Not sure why but i haven't come across this thread before. Cool project! keep the updates rolling.

I remember it too. 20V turbo yep, some photos in here. https://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/11448-ae71-20v-turbo/ Some names in that thread i haven't seen for a long time.

Reality is mate there's not many people on here anymore unfortunately. You might have better luck on the faceballs groups. I wired a ca18det into an ae86 years ago, pretty simple. i think it was like 1 or two wires to connect for the Ecu power and main ignition power (and a ground or two, they are in the loom already). if the oem nissan loom is complete that is. and then you just have to sort out your fuel pump wiring separatutly and run the ecu fuel pump output through relay to run your fuel system. sounds easy eh?

I assume there is a trade off to cooling ability when you do that?

Woohoo! Muat be great to drive after so long. Looks like a good work space.

hi mate, according to Chappel 's profile he has not been on the forum since November 25, 2018. If you wat to get in contact with him your only hope is sending him a personal message and he might get the email notifiation.

Sounds like an exhaust leak to me. Probably blown out an exhaust gasket. The manifold ones are painful.
