Thanks guys, not to far off being completed

Updates

Some updates.. Motor and gearbox are mounted. Car also got sent to pedal to metal fab in Penrith to get caged. Now it's time to start putting everything back into the car and get it going

So it's been a while since an update... The rotary had served me well, but after wanting to be able to put the car through more challenging obstacles, it's time to move on.. I sold the motor, box and ecu. After seeing what the QLD boys were achieving I decided to go 1jz. I want to be able to do drag challenge next year and this seemed like the best option.. Gearbox wise I was going to go turbo 400 but after driving a powerglide for the first time I was hooked.. It definitely suits my kind of driving and future driving events I want to compete in... I have also purchased a Haltech elite.. Here are some progress pics and I'll be sure to start updating again

Bit of an update.. After a motor freshen up and a string of problems, the car finally got tuned and went out and hit the track last night... 2nd pass out went 1.34 to 60' and 6.3 to half 107mph, then backed off for an 11.1 77mph.. A couple passes in between trying to get it out of the hole better, couldn't do so and the last pass we had, we threw everything at it, still fried em off the line 1.6 60' and still managed a 10.3 131mph.. Here's a vid of the quickest run... Will have more vids up later

10.3 131mph new p/b but plenty more to come

Yes it's bamboo

Fuel system all done, so much better to drive now with quieter pumps.. Other then that I've just been driving it heaps

Have now started pulling fuel tank and surge tank out, hopefully should all be completed in a week or so

No major updates lately, just been driving the shit out of it lately... Picked up new plates for it aswell, and got some goodies on there way but will reveal later

Ah yeah I forgot u were on my Facebook... Just saw that video this morning... Love it

Which videos are they?

New p.b set at the drags... Went 10.6 128mph. Car went straight as a die all the way... But day did have its downsides, found with more boost, the engine isn't breathing enough, needs a bigger catch can and lines. Oil pressure went through the roof an spat out the oil filler tube.. Put oil everywhere :( also the gearbox is slipping a bit due to an issue that happened a few months ago, so it's coming out again... Pleased that it went into the 10's but there could be a low 10 high 9 sooner rather then later.. New number plates have been ordered

10.6 128mph

Bit of an update.. Car went back to the dyno touched up the tuned and got the eflex sensor working.. Works a treat.. Went to a local car show today and here are some pics.. Might hit the track next week

11.6 124mph torched the tires on the line

Yeah it's still safe and a bit rich, but will still run a 10 when needed

Made 355hp on 18psi

Well it's finally all done! Engineered and registered with a 13b turbo.. Took it for a drive to get the blueslip done, for a car with such a big converter, it cruises really good and the box temp stays pretty good.. Now to get ready for Powercruise this week

sounds good! same thing with me, my car is to light for the 13bt, but if the engineer can give a good reason to the rta for that engine being put in, it can be passed

Love it.. Seen pics floating around Facebook. Just wow!!

You won't be able to engineer the ke20 with the 13b, my wagon was hard enough to get done... Sr will be easier to get on the road

Haha

Bit of an update, car went to the engineer the other day.. Got a list of things to look at, 4 minor quick fixes which I've already nearly completed. And one major thing with the way the front end sits he isn't happy about.. Other then that it passed noise easily - 86db @ 4000rpm and passed the brake test with ease.. So it shouldn't be too long now until it is on the streets
