Ke70 Turbo Sedan Project


KE70PWR

Recommended Posts

Hi all thought I would start a bit of a thread here with my rolla.

I bought the rolla about 5 years ago now and had been driving as a daily until i had a work car so started to do some work on her.

I pulled the motor out and did a rebuild myself (lots of learning). Tried various combinations of carbs from stock to weber also tried twin SU's worked great but my cam was to lumpy so did not work so well at idle.

Anyway moved to Sydney and the car stayed here in QLD and unfortunately had to be stored outside and very quickly grew rust and was not quite the same. However I have now moved back to QLD and have decided to get it back on the road and make a project out of it.

 

I am going to keep the k motor but make it a turbo blow through set up.

on the weekend i got a few bits installed.

Cam

new cam chain and gears

new double springs.

 

its coming together now. next step is to get the j pipe finished and make up the oil and water lines for the turbo with a custom return plate for the oil where the original fuel pump came from.

 

any one has any suggestions please share as I am only fumbling my way through. :)

Very clean build mate. I remember going for a run in a gemini years ago that had a blow thru 32/36 weber, far out it went hard!

 

I have a t28 turbo off my s14 if your interested?

 

Keen to see this build come together, good work

has anyone done this to a electronic dissy?

 

I doubt that you can, athough I'd love to find out that you can! The Hall Effect sensor tells the dizzy when to fire the coil, the dizzy software reads the sensor input against time and it ramps up the advance according to a fixed curve. To play with the timing you need a programmable ECU, which these days you can buy I think.

 

Just use an old mechanical dizzy you can lock. Sell the electronic one for a hundred bucks or fit it to another 4K.

Super keen to see how this project pans out!

I recently got a spare 4k and k40 gearbox for $20 so a turbo build that I can swap straight into the ke70 is on the cards.

 

Any particular mods to the 32/36? Are you fabricating your own exhaust manifold?

 

Photos, photos, photos!
