Hi,

 

I got given a couple of ke20's, and bought smallport 4age, 22 spline t50, custom tailshaft, custom headers and 2 core radiator for $1500 to go in since my mate is changing to a 4AGTE.

my mate has made me engine mounts to suit as well as welding the stocker diff mounts onto a ke55 diff. will probably go haltech e6x computer like everyone else.

i have started plumbing in new brake lines (my mate lent me the tool for that but they are only $65 anyways).

I put a recaro in, just had to elongate some holes on the original rails and it sits really nice and low.

what else, i had to bash in the firewall a bit but after some bog and hammertone it looks ok. A thickish metal plate was welded in to provide support for the master cylinder so it doesn't feel shite.

So i have all the bits and just need to bolt it in. but those haltechs are ~$1300 ouch, have to save for that.

 

not sure why those imageshack pics didn't work - phaarq

found a snapped stud in engine block. was so happy i managed to remove it i had to share a picture!

 

 

 

 

 

here is a pic of the recaro i put in the car using the standard ke20 seat rails. i'm sure my dodgy engineer will approve!

 

 

 

colour a bit garish! wouldn't mind the BMW colour "Hennarot" (that orangey red colour) I think that would be better than FORD festiva blueberry

 

I dunno. I like the blue...just don't tell anyone its off a festiva. Make up a fancy name for it and say its a custom colour.....

yay, some more ke20's theres not enough of them round here :)

 

the blue looks tough but they all seem to be blue so go the BMW color you said.

got the fuel system sorted out.

 

I ended up going for a Bosch Motorsport fuel pump with a high flow, low pressure pump filling a surge tank.

 

Had it all mounted but its removed now so i can paint the boot the same dodgy hammertone as the engine bay. :P

 

Buying that haltech is getting closer and closer...

 

Love that orange turbo 3k from the phillipines.

Keep it up... it's getting there, dude! :P

Mmmm.... Haltech

still need an alternator,

starter motor

computer

and the thingmewhatsit that goes on the back (right side for FWD) of the head for the cooling system, but i need the slimline one where both plugs AREn;t next to each other (so it doesn't hit the firewall)

got the clutch slave cylinder yesterday (sprayed myself in the eyes with it, yeah fully sic)

This weekend: finish painting the boot, install fuel system and boot battery, again.

Still need to modify a gearbox crossmember to suit.

Nice work mate. Go the blue 20s lol.

here is the boot with fuel system almost finished.

 

Lovely work, looks very neat.

that looks f@$king clean man I'm loving the fuel set up...looks mad :P

Got my inlet manifold back from Thornleigh Cylinder Heads. They did a great job: the throttle body is now facing the right way for RWD.

 

Also have painted the 4age ke20 extractors after wrapping them in heat-wrap.

 

Got the rear water outlet off the fwd ae82 4age yesterday from Chris Young wreckers at Chipping Norton. Just need to find a suitable remote thermostat.
