Budowski Posted April 6, 2009 Report Posted April 6, 2009 NIce work luke keep it up, can't wait to check this out in person.
LukeAE71 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Posted April 7, 2009 Package arrived on my desk this morning consisting of a Microtech LT10s, igniter box and dash display. :party:
TheGhost Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 gimme i wan! clean looking car buddy, engine pics?
LukeAE71 Posted April 7, 2009 Author Report Posted April 7, 2009 Engine is being installed this weekend so will be plenty of pics of work being done and the finished product :party:
adamp Posted April 7, 2009 Report Posted April 7, 2009 nice work mate be interesting to see what sort of power u get on the dyno, been interested in doing a similar conversion myself.
LukeAE71 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 Another pic of the 20 valve. Yes it is very dirty.... it will be cleaned up after it goes in and maybe some work done to make the rocker covers and valley covers look a little neater. I was thinking polished rocker cover and painted valley cover, not sure on colour for valley cover at this time though. More concerned with getting it running. Finally got hold of Yager Performance today for thermostat relocator kit. Apparently they received them this morning so I am going to arrange for them to send me one. This will be the last of my RWD cooling parts acquired now. I really wanted to have it all together before the engine went in to save stuffing around in the engine bay and it looks like it will come together. For those interested in doing a 20 valve conversion to RWD I am going to post up pics of the parts and also mods required etc and make this into more of a tech thing once I have made more progress. Also have to thank a load of people on here for many many PM's asking questions and guidance. :party:
SLW42 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) that will sound awsome when it's running man polish it all up man that will look hectic lol Edited April 8, 2009 by mr ae71
benzo Posted April 8, 2009 Report Posted April 8, 2009 Should do black crinkle coat rocker covers with just silver valley cover. will look more stock yet still cool Cheers, Ben.
LukeAE71 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Should do black crinkle coat rocker covers with just silver valley cover. will look more stock yet still cool Cheers, Ben. I could just do the whole thing in black crinkle coat. Wonder if that stuff is ok to put on the plastic valley cover?? The valley cover is pretty thrashed out anyway I think due to the way the motor was stored so I might just leave it off altogether :dance: Benzo yours is going to rock with the 16v in it. 4K is just way too slow man. I drove one the other day and couldn't believe it. I had forgotten just how slow they really are Edited April 8, 2009 by LukeAE71
LukeAE71 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 Sorry for the random pics, will tidy this thread up when I get some more time. Another pic of the roof spoiler, side view. Still not attached properly here, just wanted to see what it looked like :dance:
Sam_Q Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 I also have RWD cooling parts if you want something, probably for a fraction of the price too
LukeAE71 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 I also have RWD cooling parts if you want something, probably for a fraction of the price too Sam I bought the parts from you :dance: You must have forgotten already :) The only part I sourced elsewhere was the Yager Thermostat Kit as I don't have the mad skills to perform the water pump mods you suggest. I am very happy with the parts you sent me, I trial fitted them the other night and they fit perfectly. If you didn't know any different you would think they were there from the factory.
Sam_Q Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 yeah I thought it was the same Luke, I just got confused when you said you where going for a Yager kit
LukeAE71 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Posted April 9, 2009 yeah I thought it was the same Luke, I just got confused when you said you where going for a Yager kit Thanks again for the parts :dance:
Sam_Q Posted April 9, 2009 Report Posted April 9, 2009 sure thing, let us know if you need any help or have any issues
