KE11Beams

OK so its been too long since I updated this thread but here goes.

So a lot has happened since last updating and things have changed slightly.

I finished the all rust repairs using hand made pieces and also some sections from a donor for the more difficult areas.

The front brakes have now been upgraded to Wilwood 4 piston calipers and 2 piece rotors and BC AE86 coilovers.

The car is fully painted on the underside and in the cabin

I built this cool little engine stand to allow single person installation of the motor and gearbox from underneath the car. 

Thats good to know nothingsfree, I've got my front end apart at the moment so it might be worth doing the sump mod now while I've got it apart to change the timing belt.

BTW This thing is off the hook, cant wait to see some video of it running. Enjoy yours travels!!

So I had Todd from Signature SwayBars come round the other day to measure up a custom 22mm front swaybar. After some discussion about routing we settled on a fairly simple design as seen in the pic below.

There was a few issues with this route which included the oil filter location and oil pressure sender location, both of which made it difficult to route the sway bar. You can see this in the photo below.

So I had to look at moving both. The oil pressure sender was easy, I just put a 90deg elbow into the block to move the sender into a vertical position.

The oil filter was also an easy solution, I purchased an Aeroflow remote oil filter relocation kit and installed. This solved two problems which were the sway bar route and also not being able to change the oil filter without removing the castor rod mount.The following photos are of it installed, I haven't finalized the filter location yet so it looks a bit funny but should look a bit better when I finish it.

Geez didn't know the ke1X was so hard to find over there. Thanks heaps for the props, it's been one hell of a ride this conversion and like you all can't wait to be able to actually drive and appreciate it

Cheers Ned, yeah they are a sweet motor (not that I've had heaps to do with them, just what I've read and the potential I've witnessed in mine and a mates KE20 race car). Its been a long haul but its finally starting to come together. Thanks for the encouragement!! Definitely spurs me on to get it finished

KE11 3SGE Beams

Hi guys and girls,

I only found this page the other day and thought I'd sign up and share my pride and joy. I bought her about 2 1/2yrs ago and have been slowly putting her together when funds, resources and knowledge permit. I will be getting her engineered here in NSW and have spoken with an engineer who is willing to sign of on it. The following is a run down on the specs so far.

Specs

-4AGE Blacktop Quads w/ Glenn Booth manifold and throttle linkage

-Custom PWR alloy radiator

-Sam Q 110mm velocity stacks

-Adaptronic 440 Select ECU w/Innovate Wideband o2 sensor

-Race Technologies LCD Dash

-Custom wiring loom

-Original fuel tank w/LS1 intank pump mounted in Adapter plate

-Aeroflow -6AN 200 series fuel lines

-Turbosmart pressure regulator

Suspension

Front

-Ke20 Engine crossmember

-KE30 LCA's

-KE20 Castor Mounts

-KE30 Castor Rods (thread machine to suit 20 mounts)

-KE70 Steering rack w/Altezza column

So currently the car is driveable but I will be pulling it down to finish the body work (finish weding tunnel and firewall in) and repair a few rust areas.

Plans for the future

-Sandblast underside of car, engine bay, interior floor, boot

-Seam weld entire car

-Paint and interior

-Registration

Also how do I go about uploading some pics for you guys & girls???

Hi,

Just want to say awesome work on your KE70!!! I am very impressed with the work you doing. I am currently building a KE11 with a 3SGE Beams engine and I am very interested in your oil pan mod. Have you had any road/track experience with this setup yet and how much oil capacity did it remove from the system after this mod??? I also need to raise the pan up for clearance issues and think this could possibly be the way to go without building a new pan.

Thanks

Luke

PS. Need more updates
