Dr Bojangles Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hi all, - Discussion here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=34793 Met some of the Manawatu crew at the Noodles and Dumplings catch up. Anyway, heres my 1984 AE86 Corolla GT (NZ new) As she stands: Engine: Big port 4AGE with twin choke Dellorto DHLA40 carburettors, running coil and modified 4k distributor, and massively oversized extractors (from the cars previous powerplant) Chassis/Body: Shitarse blue paintjob complete with runs (painted with roller? ), Lowered somewhat, with Bilstein shocks, front strut brace, rear strutbrace (welded in pipe, not as whory as it sounds), 13 inch Superlighty things, with Toyo Proxes, OMP race wheel (complete with factory no power steering, or ac for that matter), some rust. Drivetrain: T50 (rebuilt 6000kms ago) with straight cut 1st and 2nd (sounds so cool), and TRD 2way LSD. Plans: 20V silvertop 4AGE, with link ECU, coil on plugs, and ITBs with 40mm velocity stacks, new rear hatch, panel and paint when i can afford it. Upgraded pilot's seat, New wheels. Anywho, I'll be drip feeding updates in, as I'm not working on it atm, (and I have more goodies for it now than I'm letting on, hehehe) Here's a couple more pics to keep ye all amused. Co-pilot sitting in front there. Here's Co-pilot number two, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bojangles Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 So, I've decided to give the Dellortos an overhaul. Mint day to take them off, outside. . . Anyway got them off, random different sized bolts and stuff, this poor old girl is begging to have everything done properly. Filthy little buggers aint they? Now what do? lol. Going to try the boil them in lemon juice trick to clean em up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bojangles Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Been reading up about float heights, Des (How to build and tune Weber and Dellorto carbs) Hammill, reckons 15mm, and 25mm at full droop, mine are at about 45mm at full droop. going to reset them. My rebuild kit for the carbs came with a new float needle jet and holder too, carbs currently have 150 jets installed, kit has 175s. This guy: http://www.club4ag.com/faq_and_tech_pag ... _4A-GE.htm reckons 175s are the go for the 4age so I'll stick em in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bojangles Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Place smells terrible, but starting to look promising, pulled the accelerator pump diaphragm cover out and gave it a quick scrub, looked good, Fuck it, back in the broth. . . Feel like a mad scientist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bojangles Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 They came up looking pretty grouse, by all accounts Found out my throttle linkage is cracked, wonder if i can skillfully weld or braze it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bojangles Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Car has always had massive hesitation when applying the throttle before getting to about 2/3rds throttle. Thinking about buying some bigger accelerator jets, it's got 33's in it, and they're the smallest you can get apparently. Might get some 40's, see if that livens her up a bit.

Dr Bojangles Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Bit the bullet, standard linkage is way too mongrel for me to stand, dodgy welded etc, (as shown in first carb picture). Bought these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bojangles Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Got my 40 accelerator jets, so i fanged the carbs back together. Reset the float heights, put in the new float jets, and gave it the big reseal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bojangles Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Here's a video of the car running again, despite what i said, i reckon it runs a bit better, think the oversized extractors may have some part to play in that, new K&Ns will go on when they show up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bojangles Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 I should rephrase that, the extractors have a part to play in making it not run better, derp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Bojangles Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 Little in car action after i fucked around with the idle screws again, might buy some more jets for it just wing it untill it runs sweet. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
