haha alright, i knew they had the same bore and the difference was in the stroke, but i wasnt sure if there were any random differences in block weight. cheers

there is a new member to the family on the way! thats right tomorrow i will pick up a heavy chunk of metal with 4 pistons, 8 valves, dohc, 1.6L :greenbounce: ill get some picks up tomorrow night :worship:

:D

and here we go!

 

 

not sure why the front an head were painted yellow, but that will be fixed soon

alright, got a fair bit done yesterday, took apart both motors and now theres a nice pile of parts in my garage :dance:

 

lets start with the block yeah? who ever had it before decided they'd paint it black for me! after brushing the dust off it came up a treat!

 

the head! can anyone recommend any shops that do good head work fairly cheap? looking for a good port and polish and some nice big valves

 

everything else... 13t block and head are FOR SALE pm if some one wants them

bit of an update

 

got some ae86 struts waiting on some coilover sleeves, for a suspension and brake upgrade.

also got a te27 cross member almost on the way so the engine conversion will be a nice bolt in.

 

still need

• ae86 hubs, rotors and calipers
  
• coilover sleeves
  
• flycut the 3t pistons
  
• head work
  
• carbs
  
• diff
  

 

once the car is back on the road

• oil cooler and temp sensor
  
• te27 flares
  
• fender mirrors
  
• fancy ignition
  
• body work
  

Did anyone say TE27 cross member? no? well ill tell you anyway

 

the cross member has arrived from new zealand and school is nearly over so very soon ill be able to get some work done on this :happy:

 

Keen to see it all happening Will. If you need a hand n shit, drop me a message :cool:

Nice car man. Really cool motor choice too. :cool:

Nice car mate! I got the steering arms off of that guy! :P how are you going about putting coilovers into yours? I'm at this stage now also. But I'm 1 step ahead with the 2t/3G hybrid :) are you getting te27 camber tops? Ben

cheers ryan

 

and ben, I'm going to find some ae86 ps arms and get an adapter for the ball joint off of techno toy tuning.

ke25 and te27 camber tops are exactly the same and cusco do a pretty good one for $350. I'm jealous that you got those te27 steering arms, that would have been nice, I'm not sure how the lengths of the te27 arms compare to the 86 arms. other than that, I'm buying all the parts like coilover sleeve and springs and weld it all together myself.

 

as far as brake boosters go, i have no idea, they confuse me haha so ill probably end up just paying someone to do that for me

 

and id say your a few steps ahead of me seeing as my motor is in bits haha

 

also the head is no longer yellow like in the pics above!

slight set back, got defected cos my front left tyre was bald on the outside, i got positive camber ewwwww

 

just gotta get a new tyre, put the stocko steering wheel back on and I'm good holefully

 

if not i guess ill just take her off the road and try to do everything that i want to do before i get her back on the road

If that's ALL you got defected for you're all sweet man. Probably the easiest defect to get out of ever!

 

Loving the build man. Keep it up.

I'd try tidy as much of it up as you possibly could man. Once you get defected, they seem to pay more attention to you.

thats not good to hear man, not the only ke25 to get defected in Adelaide lol, is it regency or cop shop?

 

my brown ke25 is on par with yours condition wise, and no way will it get through regency how it is at the moment
