Aido's KE70(s)

[AidoKsev]

Hi there! It's been a while since I've been active on here and now that I'm happy as to where I'm up to on my KE70 I've decided to start a little thread to show the world ;)...

So here is how it all started off, all beaten up and needing some lovin!...

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510755.jpg

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510757.jpg

And then some bodywork

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510758.jpg

And paint. I was rather rushed with the painting as it was of course nearing the end of Winter and the weather was unpredictable.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510761.jpg

Somehow I managed to get overspray on the windows (May have been due to my lack of preparation!) So I gave that 'razorblading' a go and actually turned out rather well.

And then the finished product:

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510764.jpg

I then tidied up the interior and prepared it for a Rego inspection, which to my surprise passed no sweat!
Then one day I was cruising around my yard and stumbled across one of my AE82's and the boot spoiler caught my eye, I immediately removed it and test fitted it to my 70, the result:

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510765.jpg

Where it still resides as my front lip to this day! Even after its injuries!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510766.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510767.jpg

I had multiple problems with blowing exhaust manifold gaskets with the 4K, to the point that I finally decided to linish the manifolds as the centre exhaust runners had pulled away from the head (warped) and I popped the gasket nearly every week I had it, which would have been going on for a few months... :( Then the week that I linished the manifolds, (note, it was going well and I had driven it a lot harder than usual and the gasket had not blown out), the unthinkable happened... DUH DUH DUHHHH!
Blew the headgasket! Around the same time I had just mounted my coils into my 4A 20V and fitted the motor to another KE70 of mine in ONE DAY!! (pics below)

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510768.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510769.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510770.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510771.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510772.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510773.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510774.jpg

However I was still using the standard 4K gearbox which made it easy not having to change gearbox mounts or diffs etc. etc. Anyway, back to the headgasket...
It was too much effort changing the headgasket (also being a Sunday, hard to acquire one) and I figured it was easier and more efficient to change the engine (go figure...) I was also approx. 200km from home, and my homeboy Lappy had prepared an engine crossmember and engine mounts for me as I hacked up the originals for the other conversion as they split after the 16v came out of one of my other KE70's. So once again with the help of some good mates we managed to get the 20V in my car and running well enough for me to drive home, which was A LOT of work for lunchtime to about midnight Sunday, especially because of things you don't think of until the end, like fuel pumps, hydro clutch etc. Wiring consisted of drilling a hole through the firewall and having the ecu float around in the footwell, and cooling consisted of an S14 radiator, cable tied in and no thermostat system!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510775.jpg

So I made the journey back to Perth from Bunbury (keeping a close eye on the fire extinguisher!) while listening out for anything that went wrong. Nope, all went fine! Then ironically the airflow meter died the weekend after, which gave me an excuse to wire in my aftermarket computer. After spending a day and a bit on wiring I put it on the dyno and gave it a simple yet driveable tune. From that point on there has been constant modifications and touch ups (like radiator support, surge tank and general neatening up!) At this stage I was still using the 4K box which went well for around 2 months when the clutch system gave way, twice in two weeks. So I decided to go to a T50 that I had lying around. During the week I stole the Tailshaft from my bosses AE86 and had a replica made in one piece, with new yolks as I didn't have them. Ended up setting me back $600. I had already prepared for the day as I had the 20v flywheel and clutch stashed away at work for when the conversion was going to take place. That weekend coming I was lucky enough that my parents were making the trip to Perth for skydiving and brought up my T-Series diff with them! Lappy also made his way up for drifting the next day and gave me a hand getting it all in on Saturday night. Finally it was drive time! Lappy did the honours only to come back and tell me it had no second gear :( A few weeks later I stripped the gearbox down to find that it had been rebuilt with new 2nd and 3rd, and the 1st/2nd synchro slip-ring had been put on backwards! Switched it around and it was mint! A few weeks later I did a Motorkhana hosted by SWTCC in Bunbury, sharing my car with Lappy, which went awesome! Until the gearbox stripped the input shaft gear on Reid Highway, 3 days later haha!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510776.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510777.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510778.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510779.jpg

After waiting about 4 weeks for another gearbox to come from the East, I finally decided to make a new exhaust, especially after the motorkhana all that was holding it up was the diff ;) So a mate hooked me up with plenty of exhaust stuff and I got straight to it, spending about a day and a half, here is the finished product:

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510780.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510781.jpg

As you can see (well, not really) I've followed the floor and tunnel as tightly as possible due to the tendency of these cars having a relatively low floor pan. Then I ordered some parts from Sam Quad to give it some finishing touches (even though it's far from finished!)

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510782.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510783.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510784.jpg

Notice my remote clutch resivior? didnt think so... either way that was another trip to Bunbury that ended up with some (completely legal;)) skids which caused this:

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510785.jpg

So some driving around occurred, and I ended up stealing Lappy's spare Hilux master cylinder and stripping it down, luckily enough it had a section that was clampable and fitted a barb to the bolt on resivior system the AE82's (and I'm sure a lot of other Toyota's) have. Saved many hours rather than modifying the clutch pedal assembly to mount something else!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510786.jpg

Now that I'm no longer having a heater I should probably remove that filthy heater tap, but hey, this ain't Autosalon! Is it?
And then of course I received the dreaded Yellow sticker :( Which called for some modification of parts to look nice and standard ;) So I spent plenty of time 're-fabricating' some parts to put over the pits that you wouldn't even pick as being modified. Unmodified= No engineers certificate!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/510787.jpg

The name of the person who created that abomination of a gearbox crossmember remains undisclosed, however I will say that it took them about 5 minutes!

Re-modified: (I was pretty slack on the painting)

And the engine mounts:

[WA_TRD_83]

looking good Aiden... good effort mate :sunnies: http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515266.jpg http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515267.jpg couple of my pictures from Toyota's in the Park

[Mika]

hell yeah dude! looks clean!

[AidoKsev]

Update, in the end I ended up getting knocked back by the Department of Transport for the 20 Valve, so I've smashed in a 4A-C to ease getting over the pits cause it's not "Too powerful"

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515414.jpg

As you can see the oil was a tad milky ;) I knew the headgasket was gone before I put the motor in but I thought "I'll see how it goes". It only needs to to about 40k's of driving (if that), I got it in and running, was running really well so I came to the conclusion that I won't need to do the headgasket. So I turned it off and went for lunch. Came back and cranked it... Did about 1/4 of a crank then stopped, pulled all plugs out and #4 was full of coolant lol! So I obviously had to do the gasket. Within about 45 minutes I had the head off and prepped the block with an air buffer thing, same with the head (Nothing special for this motor!)

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515415.jpg

All back together now

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515416.jpg

Hopefully I'll get away with having the 20V wiring loom tucked in the corner of the engine bay haha

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515417.jpg

While I haven't got your attention, anyone have a 4A-C/4K-C air cleaner assembly I can borrow for a few days (this week asap) ;) Will pick up!

[Mika]

good luck with the pits mate!

[Zane k]

Can't wait till my 16v goes pop so I can go 20v! Looks cool man (Y)

[AidoKsev]

Here it is in it's latest form, will post an engine pic later on when there is some more daylight where I can take a photo ;)

[Mika]

Looks rad dude, what are the rim specs? How did you go with the yellow? Got that sorted?

[AidoKsev]

Rims are 15x9-10 with my 195/50's stretched on, yellow is all gone! (Definately getting another one soon with these wheels though!) Rear scrubs ever so slightly on decent bumps when you're moving fairly quick but I could sort that out by bashing the inner guard out more, or by making some new flares which is what I plan on doing.

[Mika]

Still running the 4AC? Or you've put it all back to the original setup? Wheels look tough as dude! Good luck with keeping clean! Haha.

[AidoKsev]

Nah 4AG went straight back in a few days later haha

[Mika]

Good to hear mate!

[AidoKsev]

Now to get rid of that mega battery! Also making Ally Header tank and Wiper Sprayer tank soon. Got approval for an Engineer to sign off on it today! Will be doing some emissions tuning soon now haha!

[Mika]

Looks clean as dude, will look even more rad with the new ally tanks you're planing on doing. Keen to see this in the flesh.

[AidoKsev]

Set up a meet over the weekend, Result-

PS. If anyone has a cool badge I can put in my grille, would take away the bland-ness it has haha! Also picked up another front bar that hasn't been hacked up so will be fitting that shortly
(Props to Yuuhi san - Kuruma Photography for the sweet pictures!)

[drift kid]

<3 This, polished rocker covers look niceee

[Mika]

Nice one dude, looking clean!

[AidoKsev]

After my rolla being dormant for a while, I've started playing with it again... By taking parts off it and putting them towards my conversion into another KE70. Only cause I need the motivation to get it engineered, therefore taking all my parts off of it (Headers, Gearbox, Clutch etc..) means I have to get my shit together and bash my W series in and my TD06 on, make new manifolds etc etc. Also sold my ecu and wiring harness to move onto better things.

[Mika]

She's a clean looking whip dude! Get on it! Summer is coming!

[AidoKsev]

Most people just came back from two weeks off, but not all of us... Some of us worked long hours and most of our 'holidays' on our projects in the shed... Unless you work retail, then you probably didn't get much time off

In other terms, here's what I have been up to over the last two weeks.

Made my exhaust manifold

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542571.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/Mani1_zps3e47fdc8.jpg.html)

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542573.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/ManiDone_zpsdfc3652d.jpg.html)

Spent half a day lobstering a dump

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542574.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/Lobster_zps6d39cefc.jpg.html)

Made a plenum

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542575.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/PlenumStart_zps58f79bfa.jpg.html)
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542576.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/PlenumDone_zps4eb77522.jpg.html)

Mounted my cooler and made outlets

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542577.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/Cooler_zpsc4adab79.jpg.html)

Made a top feed rail and throttle relocation

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542578.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/Throttle_zpsd7871afa.jpg.html)

And I'm currently at this stage, just have to get a clutch and another tailshaft made up for the W58, wait for the right size staino for my gate pipe, will probably need to organize some really stiff engine mounts, and ordered my new Vi-Pec today.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542579.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/90Done_zpsf4f5a4ba.jpg.html)

More in the coming weeks... I aim to be going to Japan at the end of April, so this is basically where I'll be putting the brakes on this project until I'm back. Mainly so I have a little cash to spend in Japan, and also, organize my flights and buy a car haha, which I think is pretty important...

[WA_TRD_83]

DAYYYMM... Aido has some welding skills! Looks killer mate - good progress :thumbup::thumbup:

[ae8zn6]

Looks incredible!

I hope you have had better circulation in your shed than mine, I nearly roasted to death 3 days ago

[AidoKsev]

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542832.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6203_zps562f1158.jpg.html)

Got my harness all finished up and it's now a running engine, just need to wait for my clutch to be finished and then it's all ready for a tune. Will ring Toyota tomorrow and see if they have a vvt solenoid in stock as mine leaks like a mofo and would rather not get oil all over my fresh manifold ;)

[Mika]

Super keen to see this thing back on the road. Rad work dude, clean as!

[drift kid]

Your alloy fab work looks mint dude, good stuff

[AidoKsev]

Now it's basically coming down to all the small things that make the car 'your' car. Modified the shifter thismorning as the shifter position I have is fairly fowards, and would bash my knuckles on the dash with the factory one. Then machined up a new shift knob and got everything where it's comfortable. Also had to machine up my own carrier for the throwout bearing and mod the fork, which isn't that pretty but it works. Ended up staying with the stock 20v flywheel, a heavy duty pressure plate and a 4 paddle cerametallic disc from some Mazda. Never asked CBA what Mazda it's from but it could be helpful for everyone trying to hunt GZE flywheels for W Series conversions...

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542848.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6233_zpsbd5cbb4a.jpg.html)

Will get some material to make solid engine mounts on Monday. In the meantime I'm going to pull the box back out and pull it apart (again) as there seems to be a noisy bearing around the input shaft area :thumbdown:

[drift kid]

Wuut, why solid mounts? I have only heard bad things and logically doesn't seem like a good idea either

[pen15]

setup looks nice mate should be a fun street car

[AidoKsev]

Wuut, why solid mounts? I have only heard bad things and logically doesn't seem like a good idea either

The reason for solid mounts is because of the way I've made my intercooler outlets, that is, there is not enough flex allowance between them and the engine. And too much movement will result in snapping the outlets off the cooler.

That being said, I knew it was going to be rough, but daaaaamn it's rough haha! It's how your racecar should feel, not your daily! Will definitely be doing bolt checks every now and then...

Also I got really sick of the noisy ass Facet lift pump I've been using, and when it sat for too long it'd take 5 minutes to prime. So while I was redoing my fuel system with fresh hose for E85 (will be doing Teflon once I'm back from Japan) I decided to drop the tank out and have a geez. This is what I found:

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542881.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6238_zpsc5e47621.jpg.html)

So I did this :

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542882.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6241_zps734ec9ff.jpg.html)

Fit an old Walbro intank out of an evo that would lean out at 400hp, so I think it'll work just fine as a lift pump. I know it just floating around in there could cause problems when the level gets low, but if I had it secured to the return pipe, it wouldn't fit in the tank. So I compromised haha

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/542883.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6242_zpsc2914133.jpg.html)

Before you start hatin on me poking wires out of my tank, they're coming through a really tight grommet and I won't be filling it to the top ;)

[AidoKsev]

Ended up smashing 300hp ath quite easily, and surprisingly not too laggy. I stopped at 300 because that's all I wanted. After driving it for a while I'll put it back on the dyno and squeeze as much as I can out of it but for now it's quite fun!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/543079.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6267_zps44da097c.jpg.html)

Never mind about the afr's at the top end. It starts to boost creep a bit so we just made it fat to be safe. Surprisingly VCT brought it on about 600rpm earlier, which we didn't think the vct on these engines was a big degree, but obviously helps quite a bit.

The next day I took it for a spin out to the Perth hills with Craig (Cooter on here), smashing around for a bit and then right as we got up to the fun part of the road, I started to lose power. Checked out the back, no smoke.. Clutched in and the motor stopped. Pulled over in the 40 degree heat and started to have a look at things. Had fuel pressure, injectors, spark, compression, everything it needs to run. Ended up pushing it a couple hundred meters up the road into a gravel access road where it was kinda hidden. Drove back 20 minutes to Craig's place and brought his Hilux, some tools and a laptop out and started having a look. Everything was working fine at the ecu end? Got it to TDC and it looked slightly out, but not enough to not even try and fire. Ended up adding about 80 degrees of advance to the CrIP and it started (shit, but ran). I gave it a bit of a rev and it stopped again... Flat towed it back to Craig's place and started to get deep into it.

Found that the crank had jumped 2 teeth on the belt, so reset it, and it started. I revved it, and it stopped. Two teeth out again... Set the timing once again and I started it and then stopped it straight away, then checked timing. The cams were about 30 degrees out! Pulled the harmonic balancer off to find that the woodruff key had broken it's way out via the balancer and the timing pulley was just doing whatever it felt like haha.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/5/7/2/4/543080.jpg (http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Aido131/media/IMG_6272_zps19898688.jpg.html)

Lucky enough Craig had a motor around that we stole the bits from and got it going again. Lucky I only made it to my own party 3 hours late!

[drift kid]

I had the exact same issue with my oem crank pulley at wakefield

[AidoKsev]

300k's later and it seems like I've done another balancer... E85 is not quite cheap enough to be replacing a balancer/woodruff key with every tank of fuel! At least I was only 20k's from home this time not 70. Will have a look at it tomorrow but lost power, drove like the timing was a long way retarded and with a quick glance on the side of the road the crank appeared to be 15 degrees out from the cams so all I can assume is another fucked balancer. If I can find another key and balancer I reckon I'll be welding the key in so it cant come out haha piece of shit

[drift kid]

I want to get the key way in my crank cut right out to the end and the same in the balancer and run a full length key rather than one of those tiny little half moon ones

Yeah I was thinking the same thing, but if ATI do a balancer for 4ag I'll go that route (if another one shits itself). At least a billet steel balancer wont break away like cast iron so there shouldn't be any problem in that aspect

Now that I'm back from Japan it's time to start throwing money at this again and get it back on the road. First up was fitting my Shockwork's coilovers and FD brakes, currently hunting an 89 Pajero master which I believe is the correct one?

Then today I got a short break with the rain and decided to get onto pulling the head off, good thing it only took 20 minutes cause the rain came back hard!

Left everything attatched for quick removal.

Thankfully the damage is nowhere near as bad as it looked on the bore scope. Should get away without replacing the guides and just putting new valves in with stiffer springs and there is no noticable damage to the piston at all which is good! Once it's all back together it's time to get it engineered and there should be no sweating when I see the popo!

Be careful with the lift pump mounted onto the stock fuel tank pipes, had my pump slip off a few times on me when i had that setup. If you put a bead on the end of the pipes it should prevent it though.
