keltik Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Weekend was mostly a disaster, engine is still on garage floor. The EJ22 clutch plate doesnt fit the input shaft of the EJ16. So am waiting for a custom plate to arrive (possibly organic). Then its game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Got the custom friction plate, then discovered that the pressure plate was very tight inside the bell housing and the release bearing didnt fit. So i have had to bin the idea of a 2.0l clutch and am going to source a 1.6 flywheel for the engine. Carb still hasnt turned up after the courier lost it, so am hunting for a new one. Daily driver needs to be certed for its wof due this week. Massive pain in the arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Got the intake back from the shop today. Will have it on the motor with the carb fitted up by the end of the night. Just need to do some plumbing on the weekend and get some headers and she should start. Getting excited. On the list of shit left to do; Sort out a rear mount for the gearbox Build an exhaust Fit a tacho and temp gauge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucan Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Ha sweet, sounds so dirty without exhaust. I bet you will get lots of people mistaking this for a rotary 323 bugeye thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feathersword Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I think this is the first one of these I have ever seen. Anyone got pics of these looking all slammed and mean??

keltik Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Liking the new wheels. Got a new rust free door. Got the throttle linkage sorted. Got some headers. Fitted the alternator. Finished plumbing up the coolant system. Now shitting myself because the next job is rust repair. And in that area i have no expertise and have only ever had bad experiences. Just needing some adapters for the gearbox mounts, a clutch cable and an exhaust before i can take it for a fang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltik Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Current power estimate is around 1.21Jigawatts at the wheels. Which as we all know has been impossible up to this point without a flux capacitor. Turns out Doc couldve just used a carbed EJ22 instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Good work on getting it going.. I'm not that familiar with the EJ22's and TBH I didn't know they came out carbed... Anyhow I do know that the EJ18 carb models had pretty much identical problems to those you describe and it came down to almost all the carbs have prematurely worn throttle spindle shafts.. ie - it is bloody hard to find a decent one.. Perhaps look at making a adapter plate and mounting a different type of carb altogether.. perhaps a 32/36 DFAV weber from a Pinto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
