NickZ Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Hi all Was chatting with teddy lastnight for a very short time he asked how the rolla was going so I'm now going to give a little update Its not going to be supercharged any longer its too hard to tune with a carb blowthrough so i got fuel injection from Nick (and i don't mean myself)Grimwolge. ive also got a t25 and intercooler sitting here that i was going to use for my ET Pulsar but the ET goes good enough as it is. I know turbos better that supercharges and I'm going to use it on the rolla now. The injection turned up today (thanks Nick all seems good) and ive now put it on.i rushed home after work and started as soom as i got into the driveway.worked till it was dark but its not running yet, but will tomorrow. here is a pic of it fitted ill let you all knw when its running.

Teddy Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 For a 1.3 L Corolla 4Kc - i must say, it looks very impressive :laff: Keep up the good work !!!! u gota get a video of this 1 working :| :) - With sound !! Quote
Nitephyre Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 o0o that looks sweet nick2 (hehe)... can't wait to get my setup and put it in the vanz0r :) what -type- of parts nick1? and any idea on price for me yet dude? also, you reckon that, with efi, the engine'd be able to support an sc14 instead of a 12? bigger is better they say :| Quote
Medicine_Man Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Damn, that 4K-E is looking schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! keep the pics flowing :| Quote
irokin Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 you don't want a 3K-B head...you want a 3K big port head...found on early KE20s :| and damn that setup looks good! Quote
demuire Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Really transforms it doesn't it? Makes the little K motor look so "sophisticated" :| What are you doing for fuel? Quote
Medicine_Man Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Just realised, you are using the standard 4K-C Tappit cover, How come you didn't put the 4K-E Tappit cover on, isn't it going to make it a pain in the arse to put oil in? Quote

NickZ Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 ill take some pics of the fuel system tomorrow night... Well it runs and its loud as the original exaust manifold was a 3 bolt and this one is a 2 bolt. I think i got ripped on the microtech computer as the fuel pump circut doesnt work. I'm pulling apart the computer right now as see if i can fix it. Also it runs ruff for about 10 seconds then the revs rise to about 4000 rpm.I have to look at the cold idle air controller and any air leaks. also if any one else is going to do the conversion please check and maybe replace the injector rubber seals, because the first time i had fuel going to it I invented automatic high pressure petrol engine cleaning as the fuel pressure blew fuel everywhere.

Nitephyre Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 well nick1, u know i want an efi setup, I'm definate on that now... thou will the next one you get have a computer as well, cause I'm guessing i'll need that.. *nods* also nick2, was it all that hard to install? any hassles etc... appreciated, and also.. what s/c you got, is it in good nick and are you wanting to part with it now ur doing the turbo? Quote
NickZ Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 nope wasnt hard but its not the first one i have done i had a turbo injected gemini i built before this one setting up the fuel is maybe the hardest part (other than to two middle exaust/inlet manifold bolts) and as i said before check the injector rubbers it has taken me about 10 hours so far to get this far and id say another 10 hours before its back on the road just to clean up everything and make a nice job of it. But if your going to use the standard computer there will be more bits to change. The supercharger is gone manly coz some already offered to buy it. the supercharger is good for making lowdown grunt as you be boosting at idle but it will run out of puff at the top end and you don't get the HIT like a turbo. I did think about twin charge but we are working on a 4k, i didnt think it was really worth it :| Quote
