demuire Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Very neat. Nice :) Would you have any issues with engineering and rego with the modified firewall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacktopspirit Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 All the mad project KE/AE70's are up north damn it. Car looks tops mate, have you got a dyno readout? would be interested to see what sort of power it puts to the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickZ Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Silvertop put out about 80kw at the wheels. Edited July 14, 2007 by NickZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae71wagonater Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) Silvertop put out about 80kw at the wheels. i havent got a dyno readout yet, I'm not expecting it to be a fireball, its still not back from the mechanics :D any day now :evil: can anyone give me an estimated qtr mile time on a standard 4age 20v ae71 or ke70? also i am unsure about the laws regarding the modded firewall, shell be right mate lol Edited July 16, 2007 by ae71wagonater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae71wagonater Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 thanks mate, i still have the 4ac sittin on the floor of the shed, however i just bought an ADM sprinter with a 4ac, and its running really crap and has a crack in the tappet cover so I'm thinking of scavenging parts from it. Cheers though. Next project after the next. check it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbmobile Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 good to see another quality wagon build :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae71wagonater Posted March 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Thanks allot everyone, i will put up some pics of the interior later on , i have re done it in black. The wheels i got are 2nd hand, i picked them up on AE86DC for $600. They are called SSR "Speed Star" or i have heard people calling them "Superfins". They are 15x7 with 0 offset so they sit just perfectly. However i have to get my front guards rolled or flared as they scrub on corners. Also I'm in the process of upgrading the fuel system to an EFI set up. Currently i only have an inline pump and suffer fuel surges. Once that is done then i have to get the rear leaf springs reset and that should be about it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
