Yeah it probably won't come on hard till around 4000rpm but two step/anti lag will fix that for getting her off the line..

 

Picked up the engine cheap as chips, $400 with a blown head gasket.

 

I'm pulling it right down, balancing everything, o-ring the block, port the head, valve springs, cams, rings + bearings etc.. so pretty much a full rebuild.

Has that turbo got a S13/4/5 style rear housing on it? Bit hard to see in the pic.

The compressor is from a GTR T28, only asking as the rear housing on these has a different dump pipe flange.

Yeah it does, came off an s15

i got an mx7 manual gearbox here if you want.

 

after you get the manual 10 are you going to change to auto and see if you can catch sticks ke20?

Haha I don't know man, for now I'll just stick to that goal and see how it all goes :)

Update: Just picked up some 1600cc indy blue injectors.

Have you ever driven a properly built auto with full manual shift, nice converter and transbrake? Incredible. :)

 

I like both, manual will just be more of a challenge to wrangle at the track :)

 

wpn36, at a guess I'd reckon I'll need 250-300rwkw, this in a ke20 should see me trapping 135mph or there abouts I'd imagine.

Yes i have, the stable of cars of driven it far and wide. I still prefer a manual, even if the auto is quicker much of the time. Atleast with a manual you are in complete control of what the car is doing.

 

That power figure (which is the same as what I'm now aiming for) will be INSANE in a KE20, i had 211rwkw before searching for more.... That was more than enough to fry tyres at highways speeds rolling onto the throttle :fuzz:

Yeah man, 300rwkw will be mental, I had a 330rwkw vl and that would blaze the tyres for as long as you could hold it straight rolling from 120ks..

 

I'll obviously have it de-tuned to 230rwkw or so for street duties, help prolong the life of the engine etc. As you would know, once you get past a certain power threshhold you don't go any faster, you just spin the tyres harder lol. My vl was quicker on the street when it had 270rwkw

Edit, Just got myself a shiny new microtech lt10s with 4x ignition box and individual coils.

man this car is awsome, i was going to do the exact same thing before i decided to go rotor. If you want a bellhousing and fly wheel for a jatco to ca, let me know, ive got one from when i was going to do it..

 

can't wait to see this finished

Cheers for the kind words mate :)

?

How much are you after for the bellhousing and flywheel

Put up a pic of the engine man

Don't have one yet dude, I'm currently at sea en route to south africa so I won't be home till mid jan.

 

It will deffinately be christmas for me when I get home and see all my pressies courtosy of my ebay addiction haha

Can't wait to see more pics of your 20 :)
