Chestikoph Sr20Det Ke55 Coupe

Some more goodies came in the mail, i am thinking of mounting the boost gauge to one side of the ash tray (will get rid of the switches that already there).

And i have also ordered a wide band air/fuel ratio for the other side.

I have a whole week off next week so i should be able to get stuck into it and get heaps done.

I still need to get the intercooler mounted and decide what i am going to do with the radiator.

I don't know if to get a radiator made up or to use the s14 one?

Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

It's been ages since the last update but things have been happening, albeit slowly.

The car is out of the work shop and at home now, so i can work on it at my own time now and not just one day a week.

So hopefully get things done a bit quicker.

Since the last update i have started to fit the intercooler, it bolts up sweet with some custom brackets.

I have cut away some of the front panel, so it fits with out having to chop the grille and have it stick out like dogs balls.

I am in the process of stripping back the front panel and painting it black.

Will update with pics soon.

No it hasn't made it too flimsy, but just incase there will be some bracing added to the front panel to it keep rigid.

The front panel isn't a structural part of the car.

The strength is in the top rad support and bottom cross beam.

Here it is all painted, i reckon it looks pretty factory.

 

Before And After

Starting to put the intercooler on, fits well.

The way i have mounted it leaves the radiator mounts still standard, hopefully get the rad the next day or so.

Not sure if i want to black it out or leave it silver, i will decide once its all together if its still noticeable i will paint it black.

Very nice ........

Thanks mate

Fitted up the rad just to make sure it fits with the cooler pipes.

Still have to get some decent cooler hoses as well.

Coming together quickly now, made a start on the wiring.

What a nightmare trying to decipher all these wires, none of the colors match up to the factory corolla manual :D :( ???

Any way here are some pics of the rad and engine bay as it stands.
