Here's a handful from the Altezza after a run up the big hill outside Tamworth. I had the fuel mixture display from the KE70 in the Altezza that day and it stuck on 14.5-14.7 all the way.

Looking For Ke70 Project, I Gotta Lotta Love To Give
altezzaclub replied to Scott123's topic in KE70 Technical Articles
yeah well, hardly a technical article... Move it into "for Sale & Wanted". You should get a nice one for that price, but not on here! We sell them for much more than Gumtree. Hunt for an un-molested auto in completely stock condition from an inland area & pay the extra to travel & see it. Make up notes saying "I'd love to buy your KE70 when you want to sell it, ph me on xxxx" and chase any you see on the road or in carparks & leave the note on the screen. Buy a nice $1500 Kia or Hyundai and then go steal a KE70 & leave the FWD in its place.... -
Definately noticeable, but not as good without a cam and exhaust to go with it... Its dirt cheap compared to other options. You need the carb, an air cleaner and an adapter plate, so a couple of hundred bucks. What options would you consider?? DCOEs, SUs, injection, twin stock Aisans??
-
I've posted both auto & manual diagrams for the KE70s up on here some time ago, but I can't remember where.. Keep running Google.... Here- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/54569-4k-carb-setup/page__p__559420__hl__+vac%20+lines#entry559420

Ah I knew you'd put that up sooner or later.. shall I post up the whole story with the Highway Patrol and all.... :P
-
That looks fine! Bet you paid under a grand for it! Is it going to be a track car or drift or similar?? Is it a Weber under the blue hat?
-
I'd back that- there must be bugger-all flow when the valve is only open a mm or two, so not much happens until its got say 5mm open & from there to 10mm & back is when the work is done. Faster accceleration of the valve certainly stresses components more so I hope the cam cutters know what they're doing. Its a black art when you go into valve shaping and acceleration waves on the cam.

What does the inside look like now?
-
This should be good! Making a brick aerodynamic!
-
Love the front! The chrome, the shapes, the curves... Its a shame he painted the wings white, it makes them look stuck-on instead of being part of the car. Cars are so bland today...
-
Yep- that Honda motor is a stunner!
-
Mudguard indents are specific for the slanty's bumpers, so you will notce the oddities even if no-one else does.

Rust Under Paint When I Stripped The Bonnet
altezzaclub replied to oldie's topic in KE70 Technical Questions
I had tiny rust worms or spiderwebs under the paint when I stripped it back to metal. I treated them with some phosphoric rustkill, washed it thoroughly & dried it with a hairdryer, and then undercoated as usual. Nothing has come back yet, three years... -
lol! Good score! All the best race cars start like this- Its straight and its free, & you just can't beat that..
-
Oh for second-hand Jap imports! We might crash the Holden badge but if we had free importing we'd have some damm nice Toyotas in the country! 4WDs, twin turbos, GT models...
-
Stunning! Just stunning! A real work of art and dedication! The terrible time is approaching... its almost finished.. WHAT WILL I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW? Great work man!
-
:: Sigh :: Allright, having ridden in the damm thing I had to look up the build! It looks better in the photos than in the flesh! They must have photoshopped the paint to look much better! Personally, I love the airdam patches! Anyway, you can always use it as a towtruck.... :P
-
Yeah, that is the ideal Evan... However, when the motor is in the car and been used.... KE20 King, the cam turns at half the speed of the crank, so if you read 80deg on the crank that is 40deg on the cam, & you were probably in the ballpark, depending on how they wrote their specs.
-
Pull it out and pull it apart. I've just done the Pintara one & it cost $12 for brushes and $40 for an end bush to be made up in brass and fitted in. They got cheapass in the '80s and just ran the starter shaft in the aluminium body at one end, so it slowly wore an oval sloppy hole. If the teeth are ruined then start with your local wrecker and inspect any K starters he has, or check for recoe'd units at auto electricians.

Ok, you definately have it richer than his- more fuel AND less air going in. The problem with DCOEs is the vast range of variables you end up playing with. The best thing you could find is some old guy in a garage with a box full of Weber jets that you can borrow until you sort out which ones you want to buy. PM anyone on here if you read a build with DCOEs and see what setup they run and if they have spare jets you can try. What cam grind is it? It probably doesn't matter, you can jet the Webers to run with any cam.
-
Lol! I'm not surprised! Bending over motors and reaching into an engine bay while lifting something is a real killer on my back!

Can Somebody Please Identify My New Car?
altezzaclub replied to Junkmonkey's topic in General Mechanical
That info must be included in the VIN, or whatever Aussie uses for vehicle identification plates under the bonnet. Isn't there a nationwide website that gives you the information the Govt have on any VIN plate, maybe I'm thinking of NZ. The RTA will have the model data and engine codes somewhere, then you just need an import dealer. Worst comes to worst, import parts from NZ. I've bought in timing belt kits, oil filters and stuff for my Altezza straight from North Shore Toyota through Altezzaclub, a lot cheaper than sourcing it in Australia. -
On the other side, the high side where there is nothing but a dizzy and an oil filter! The low side is fine for an exhaust manifold, but even the inlet could go on the other side, and you should almost upright it while you're at it... maybe we should have a contest to design the ideal motor to work on!

Yes, the original wiring just turns the relays on and off, so they're only passing a low current and that doesn't affect the headlights at all. The actual wiring to the bulbs was all new and larger wiring. Its in here, although I see the link to 'how to do it' is broken.- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/42407-the-girls-ke70/

What did the dyno guy say?? As Gav says, far too rich as the revs go up. The KE70 will hold about 14.0-14.7 going up a hill with the foot hard down, although I can get it richer if I boot it quickly and it goes to 11-12 to 1 for a second or two. See what Google comes up with for jetting the 40s as a start point.
