kpr Posted November 8, 2010 Author Posted November 8, 2010 so, you need a bigger exhaust, but have no clearance and dont give a shit what it looks like. slice it down the middle and add in 25mm. plan is to run 2.5" collector. then dump it into the above abortion so i thinks the exhaust system has ended. will try a few different collector lengths see if anything happens 1 Quote

kpr Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 blacktop throttles for more dort dort. full story here http://garage4ag.wordpress.com/2011/10/ ... art-again/ discussion thread still exists viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10356&start=140 Quote
kpr Posted November 4, 2011 Author Posted November 4, 2011 heres the mods to the blacktop throttles couldn't machine them out much further, as getting pretty thin in a few place not that the dimples haven any effect as the gasket sits on outside of the insert on manifold old trumpets on. bit short, but will be changed after once its running. picking it should be awesomely loud Quote
kpr Posted November 20, 2011 Author Posted November 20, 2011 been hopeless at actually finishing stuff lately. half baked atempts: low mount alt still gotta do top adjuster mount. also inspired by UJ, im hole sawing the shit out of everything, diet time. alternator is smaller / lighter than normal 4age one also got these off Walker.NZ few weeks back. wish there were 4! mexican poke on the back Quote
kpr Posted November 21, 2011 Author Posted November 21, 2011 more half finished stuff. have been working on this for awhile, but cant finish till car is going 1 Quote
kpr Posted January 12, 2012 Author Posted January 12, 2012 brakes, clutch; out of engine bay thank you factory as full writeup on blog if you can be assed Quote
kpr Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 got this head for cheap. looks like someone threw a fist full of rocks in the engine got engine guy to peel out the valve seats a bit. trimed nasty bits down tried not to take too much out as want compression upp have started on the inlet ports, was planing to just nicely blend the port into the seats. but hes cut into the head too much. so im having to get a bit more aggressive, to get the long turn into a nice shape. not sure if it will work out anygood. short turn and exhaust side should work ok, wont throw it in the bin just yet!

kpr Posted January 15, 2012 Author Posted January 15, 2012 got sick of head work, so got out favorite power tool cut some holes; hello coilover need more tidy up, looks a bit stink still. Quote
kpr Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 thanks to 4AG_Addict i have a full set of these now. plus some spares. they have had a few trips round the country! acquired some rn25 axles awhile back. plan is to shorten diff more, so rear takes similar fitment to the front. run 14x7 -2 all round. from memory this diff case has a little tow out so will correct that & maybe camber mod it also. thinking of trying a panhard rod on the factory triangulated 4 link setup as well. shouldn't run into binding issues, since as piss all suspension movement. other than that, i have been super lazy Quote
kpr Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 paint or no paint. im still welding and grinding the shit out of engine bay, as you can see by the mess^ pretty much stripped all the paint off now. fun times Quote
kpr Posted February 24, 2012 Author Posted February 24, 2012 finished port work. will upload more pics later Quote
kpr Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 more details on head job: http://garage4ag.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/head/ Quote
kpr Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 every time i do panel work, i say never again. but it always happens again. removed all the unneeded brackets and holes. stripped back 95% of it to bare metal. poor thing has had a hard life, firewall has been beaten up over the years. (i don't remember wielding a sledgehammer in there, probably a previous owner!) body was coming away from the chassis rails between the spot welds. so hit it with the tig between each spot, also added small gussets between rails and firewall, where theres usually a big hole filled with sealer crap on these cars. i'd like to forget what else as it was boring as fuck. gotta get the bro here to hit it with some paint, then can get onto something more interesting. edit: kinda boring update, so here a pic of last time i drove it. to keep me motivated Quote
kpr Posted March 31, 2012 Author Posted March 31, 2012 got head back. shitty phone pics as camera been hijacked. backs of valves have been reshaped etc, for more flow. .5mm skim to bump up compression. standard cams for now. but has toda valve springs, for ease of install later. bottom end rescued from trueno. this thing has been n/a, supercharged,turbo and spun up to 9000. back in it goes for more abuse recycle .8mm trd gasket. works out around 13:1 compression ratio. was too lazy to cc the head to find out exactly Quote
kpr Posted April 1, 2012 Author Posted April 1, 2012 anyone got some un-molested 16v cam covers they want to part with? Quote
kpr Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 red more: http://garage4ag.wordpress.com/2012/04/09/paint-2/ Quote
kpr Posted April 14, 2012 Author Posted April 14, 2012 got engine sitting in place. shouldnt have to remove again i hope. welded up my extractors, as had to cut them off at the flange and mod for bigger port size. need to use a blacktop 20v gasket, as the 16v gasket is too small. think i need to eat more pies to counter balance how far engine is mounted to passenger side. now heaps of little annoying stuff. new water lines, wiring, brake lines etc..
