Celica RA45

just got back my new2 peice tail shaft that can spin to 11,000 with out destroying any thing ,so happy and making up e85 fuel line and rear brake lines .also going up to bigger rotors and bigger rear calipers to stop it better

rear end is in now and the rear pan hard rod with rose joints is finished ,still have to make the new fuel line was using 13mm alloy pipe for the e85 fuel .going to the new black anodised fuel line plus have to make brake lines up as well

its a par dog box, made in sydney. all new guts but overdrive is still synco even thou its straight cut im making 204 kws at the back wheels out of the 2 litre at the moment at 9200 rpm ,be nice to make 260kws at 8200 rpm out of the 2.4 .will most likely need either 52mm quads which will be ok as there is enough meat on my quads to do this ,cams will have the same lift but more duration something in the 260 plus to 270 range at 50 thou range not many people are using the 2.4 honda ,but there are a few using the mazda /ford 2.4 4 cyl 1 at the moment and that is making good power

hopefully working on the wiring next ,this should take about a month or 2 as im starting with a new loom and also the m800 motec loom

ok some pics of the broken box and the cut up white 1 and a few spare race motors some for customers and the others are mine

ok have just taken the rear end out of the old car and have taken some pics of the wheels that are going onto it also have my dog box apart as i broke 1 of the selecter dogs also have finished the rack set up with a ae86 quick rack and also a ae71 column set up these are te37v rays about 500 each

pics of the quads my own design ,copy of a black top 20 v and with 2stage and ram tube

for the motor im using some new parts will also have new tapered quad throttles new 2 stage injection a special harmonic balancer etc

on the rust side it depends on where they are out back nsw just red dirt no rust in melbourne some rust ,but its like any where .most jap cars had rust built into them from about 1980 onwards ,just look at te71 ,fast back corrolla and ma61 supra and ae86 levin .all rust

yes 5sfe block 88mm bore and 98mm billet stroke with beams head pistons will be 14.5 to 1 and also a forged rod i can then play with the rotary guys

discuss and have a laugh

what engine mounts are you using try the sa63 and that will move the motor back more mines 30mm off the fire wall

as it sits at the moment

its a ra45 GT that i have been putting together while racing the white 1, there are a lot of mods going on this with a cambered rear end with some toe abigger beams motor 2.4 stroker with tappered quad throttles and no vvti ,cams 565 thou lift and about 270 at 50 thou

this is my new bus .its had a full respray inside and out .slowly staring to put bits back in

whats the weight of the new bus dave with all of the french parts

my mate did it in a ae71 corrolla ,not much room in there either .compared to your big bus carina

dave afew of my mates bought the altezza manifold off me ,when they did the red top to rwd and made a plate so the std red top throttle bolted up to the altezza plenum you might have to do the same

the 205 were in a special head with 35mm buckets on both sides ,the cam seems to mark up about 10mm from the top the other cams which were about 268 at 50 thou and 575 thou lift has 2 much velocity we try to keep the cams to about .01000" this new 1 the 263 is max vel is .01074" the super tourer is .01084" the 205 is .01135" and the 178x is way over the last 1 close to 12 from memory and on the dyno lost power every where. we wernt using vvti and had the cam fixed at 100 lobe center and we tried moving it either way from 105 to 95 to see how it would go

yes you did the 205 profile ,they marked up straight a way like the toda cams do and that bigger 1 had to much velocity and lost power every where ,but that super tourer that you fixed was good ,these were made here and are fine so far ,no problems with vvti, seated pressure are 90 lb springs with ti retainers and steel valves

im using a 14.65mm lift cam on my altezza engine and its 263 at 50 thou .still moving the inlet 1 and half teeth of vvti.. std is 3 teeth of movement on the exhaust ,moving that 1 tooth ,both cams are the same in lift and duration .they also fit onto a 33mm bucket ,had to do shit loads for the cam to turn thou not using std pistons thou up to 14.5 to 1 comp and have deeper fly cuts on the valve pockets .currently running 80 thou piston to valve with max vvti movement

just run the exhaust to the back of the car and put double the size muffler that you have at the far back , it would probaly need a retune with muff that far back ,more power for you . keep exhaust close to tail shaft tunnel for more room under car

on this subject, i have been getting a 2.4 crank made up with rods and forged pistons to go into a 5sfe block crank is 2 grand billet from the states and waiting on rods and forged pistons just relooking at the bore wonder if 1 of the rings are broken in that cyl vvti will also make a rattle if the solinoids are on 100 % on the motec we change the gain only to 95% to stop them from burning out just looking at your quad throttle set up .it would be better to have the quads closer to the head and use longer ram tubes the reason is i can see that breaking from the harmonics even with the silocone runners .also this gives you a chance to use a cold air box over your quads

if it was a crack, water would come out of that cyl through the quad throttle .may be some thing went down it before you started it up ,quite easy to do ,only takes a small nut of so just make sure that it hasnt hit any valves or heads will drop ,i would be taking the head off to see properly .if a valve drops the head will cost a lot of money plus the bore will split and might throw a rod your call

fuck you guys run hard springs in your cars over here for track work. on semi tyres 5.6 in the front and 4 on the back a bigger sway bar up 4 mm thicker and the std sway on the back with good bilstein shocks
