wow you've thrown a lot of $$ at this one. engine bay looks pretty flash. i can't make out what you've done for your clutch master etc. can you put up a close up shot of behind the inlet mani?

 

its got a race pedalbox with all the master cylinders in it. will post some pictures of it

one of the clean and nicest ke20 in the club i say :D

i like the bamboo color and your engine bay you can eat on it! :cool:

cheers DRC. the guys are fitting a brake proportioning value tomorrow the rears have a bit too much bite. once its dyno'd its booked to have the mod plates fitted and then hopefully you will see it around the gold coast!

Looking very trick

Awesome looking bay, looks tuff as!

what power figures you hoping for on initial tune?

 

mark

had some delays getting it on the dyno, put it down to bleeding the race pedal box correctly

 

anyway it went on this afternoon

 

will post the sheet when i get it but they rang me to say 214.8 horsepower at the rear wheels on 15PSI

 

pretty happy with that in a 780 odd kg KE20!!!

so you haven't driven it yet? should bring a mad grin to your face!

 

btw, i'm guessing it will be at least 850kg by now with the diff etc.

yeah you are right in hindsight the hiace diff is a monster

 

havent driven it yet, getting mod plated thursday and hopefully rego friday

definitely enough power to keep you happy for a while.

 

I would agree with weight, id estimate my car with the hilux diff, plus heavier g/box, tailshaft, exhaust and turbo gear would weigh around the 850kg mark. Ill hopefully get a chance to get my car on a weighbridge soon to find out for sure.

+1 on the weight, add anyone other than a jockey and you can get to 1000kg pretty easy

my ke20 weighed 850kg. that was with a 4age, t50, ke55 borgy diff (a LOT lighter than a hilux), small surge tank etc, gauges, different seats. it did have heavy wheels though - 15" chasers. i reckon i could have saved 7-10kg a wheel by having proper lightweight mags.

 

AND no tools, no spare tyre.

 

so 850kg for those cars with a hilux diff and decent gearbox was a way conservative guestimation.

Pics of whole car! :P

 

That was a really quickly built car. Are you doing anything else to the car before you're happy?

You'll want some decent seats. Wooden planks wrapped in foam and leather probably won't cut it for you!

 

Good luck with the car.

my g/box and diff would be heavier but the engine would be lighter id say. No spare, no tools. Ive got the same front wheels as yours but with smaller tyres (=lighter) and my rear wheels are only 14's but are an inch wider (7 inch wide) with a 195/60. stock seats/interior

 

Ill try get the car weighed asap and let you guys know, I'm very interested to know!

sounds like fun, i ran 12.9 in my ke 30 with only 203rwhp so you should be looking at a mid 12 easy. I'm heading to the drags saturday would be good to see another corolla there

got it modplated and safety inspected thursday

 

got it insured and registered today

 

pick it up from Stoich tomorrow for its maiden drive, can't wait. will take pics
