you should beadroll some alloy diamond pattern door trims!

Niiiice updates!

Trutrac went in and helped with an 11.7

ran a 12.04 @ 118 mph with the diff single pegging haha. ill finish the other car off then put a true track in, new clutch, the g4 storm link ecu and try again.

didnt quite make as much as i thought but 54rwhp over last time should still be noticeable. idle sounds cool too

well I'm glad youre happy with your performance springs as thats what i have got now haha! so now its running and ready to go for a tune. as long as i can get work off this week its all booked in and good to go. compression tested and came up sweeeet at 155psi across the board when at running temp

thanks for the offer mate id love to go for a lap in it. unfortunately I'm in perth though. so it went on the dyno and fell on its face at 6000rpm. we think either soft valve springs or ignition is letting it down. so i got 270 degree camtechs performance valve springs crane hi6 and lx92 coil ported manifold with a 70mm throttlebody (free off a mate so i figured why not) motor and box came out again to fix a few leaks and do the manifold. now just need to put it all back together and get it back on the dyno. also going to coble together a catchcan.

cheers its nearly ready just got to finish tidying up the wiring and a few other small items to address before the tune on thursday. going to have to pull my finger out as i need to pop away for work for a night as well. i actually had a heavy dig through your thread of how much you had to modify the tunnel to fit the jatco in, as i hope to go auto in this at some point. i have one on the shelf with a 3000 stall and a b&m shifter

faultless motoring since running the 12, but the clutch was a bit torched so finally thought it was time to replace it. while the motor was out to do the clutch i fitted a powertune twin scroll manifold with 2 38mm tial mvs gates topped with a gt3076. 82 rear the old intercooler piping was absolutely terrible. the guy i used was an apprentice fabricator. you can see ho he didnt have the right size tube for the iac so he just welded a nut on and rounded it off. i bought a welder a while back and have been teaching myself to tig stainless on my other car that I'm building. so i thought it was a good opportunity to make new pipework. spent the last week and a half making a bunch of stuff, first off i had to modify the dump and make new screamer pipes. it was quite tight getting a 3 inch dump and 2 x 1.5 inch screamers, ensuring there was as much distance to the idler arm as possible. got the dump wrapped in titanium heat wrap, came out very nice in the end. next was new 2.5" cooler piping and a 3" intake. the old intake setup consisted of a 90 degree bend, small pod and no bov so it suffered from reverberation stalling. basically when you jump off the throttle abruptly the air coming back thru the turbo causes the afm to get some hectic signals and it dumps fuel in and stalls. so to remedy this ive made the intake as long as possible with a few 90 degree bends and a 25mm bov port thats hidden and points towards the turbo/away from the z32 afm. on the plus side, air filter now sits behind the headlight. down side - gotta shift the battery. here you can see the bov port behind the intake throttlebody side piping, also with bov port hidden underneath. i have a turbosmart kompact plumb back to use, or if i want the zutututu ill just chuck a bung over the ports and you wont be able to see them. then made a new hardline to the heater core around the back of the motor as the rubber hose was looking tired. excuse the absolute mess next step is to replace the lower rad hose with stainless as its currently 2 hoses joined together. then shift the battery and neaten up the wiring because it bugs the shit out of me. after that it will be time to fire it up and go in for a tune. stock cams will limit the power, I'm guessing it will go 315 ish rwhp. i have also made a couple other things that i will post up once its out of the shed.

I need an update on this !

nope. the hoppers kit is the only bolt on job. pug you need xt130's.

How did this pan out with testing mate ?

Ahah I don't even have a video. I think a mate took one I'll ask him to send it to me. He said it wasn't great so don't expect much

Finally got it into the 12s. Now time to focus on my other project.

Very nice build mate, you are doing well

Such a good build mate, hang in there. Sucks when people dick you around. It will all work out in the end though.

Fabbed up a strut brace and fitted a new starter motor. Other than that, I've not really done much. Starting to run out of things to do.

Chuck some pics up of the 70s progress as you go mate. What setup have you got on the old sr to make 507hp? That will be pretty staunch for sure

I had it aligned and all new bushes in the front, took it down the track and it was a bit sketchy. So it sat for a bit then went back to the shop for some more toe and new diff bushes. It's pretty awesome now, finally happy with the handling. Also fitted a bunch of cosmetic bits like Venetians/centrecaps/dynamatted the rear floor and whatnot. Next up I'll be tinkering with the brakes to try and get them spot on. N14 booster is the first port of call I reckon.

Hit the nail on the head there, with any conversion really.

Ah yeah fair enough. I saw pictures of his wheels a few years back they were pretty crazy sizes. That's some voodoo magic there.

Hi mate ive done it, I used the standard pickup (wish I'd had a larger pickup brazed on though) to a Carter lift pump, then through a low pressure fuel filter, undercar 600cc surge tank, with a non turbo sr20 a vl inline pump works well and is quiet. High pressure inline filter, then ran new 3/8 moroso alloy fuel line ($60 for a roll) which can be bent by hand. Used the stock fuel line as a return. Fairly easy there's pics in my build thread.

bit late to the party here, but i'm going to go ahead and disagree with the rebuilt 5k idea. my very first engine conversion was a 5k when i was about 18. albeit very easy, it slotted straight in. can't complain with that. the difference in power was barely noticeable though. since then i've had ke's with: 3k 3kb 4k 5k 4agze sr20de sr20det i'd honestly say the best conversion for a p plater is an sr20de. mounts and pedalbox off ke conversions send the sr loom, afm and ecu to PLMS in adelaide off the shelf extractors fit around the steering as if it was made for them get a tailshaft made install a lift pump and surge tank with some $60 moroso 3/8 alloy line that can be bent by hand get an ebay alloy radiator and find some hoses at repco to suit. other than that theres about 5 wires that need connecting, even an auto sparky would be super cheap if you couldnt figure it out yourself. its a very simple conversion when broken down, it makes the corolla alot more fun to drive, the stock brakes can handle it and its very predictable. no one wants sr20de's so they're cheap. plus its simple to go turbo when the time comes for more power. failing that if you're a stubborn die hard toyota fan, a 3tc with a locked ta22 diff is fine. skid it all day and enjoy carb simplicity.

Cool wagon. Well done. I hope you kept the door glass from the 2 door, its pretty hard to find as it only fits 2 door sedans and panos.

Haha I saw that on Facebook its terrible. Good to hear you're sorting it out. Please unblue the rims too !!
