KE70-4AG Webbers Pics attached

[burado]

Hi all, Thought you might be interested
We recently completed this 4ag conversion Into my KE70 at my shop.
I wasnt super keen to hurry into the project as i wanted to concentrate on my race car but after much convincing By Brendan ( who also done most of the work ) the job was complete.
The motor is a stock bigport that i got from a local importer, he got the engine about 10-15 years ago it was out of a crashed car and has been sitting in a undiscovered corned of his shed ever since. The engine was filthy and really looked like crap- but the price was good! When i got the motor to my shop i removed the sump and top covers and saw what i can only describe as an absolutelly immaculate engine! This thing must have been almost new when it was crashed. We replace the damaged sump, water pump and thew in a new headgasket, degreased the outside and hit it with a bit of paint.
I had the 40mm webbers and extractors off my race engine lying around so on that went, the exhaust system was a side pipe on the race car so i put an extra section on it to exit out the rear.... Brendan wanted to keep the side pipe but its not my scene i wanted a real sleeper.
The car i have only had for about 2 months its pretty clean with 137000 orig, kms was 4k auto so as you can imagine the 4ag has helped it along a little. We swapped the whole crossmember struts and steering rack out of my donor AE86. fitted straight in using KE70 strut tops.
The wheel were on it i've just put some NRCA's (2 deg neg. camber) on it for a little better stance.
The T50 was out of my race car and is a little worse for wear but i will freshen it up in the next couple of weeks. the diff is now a "s" series.
I am really impressed with the performance and driveability of the car. the webbers obvioussly help with the performance- heaps but how smooth they are when i'm just driving normally is testiment that webbers tuned well and balanced correctly will be almost as good as EFI. Most of you probably don't care much about fuel economy but it's great, I can't tell you exactly what it is because i need a AE71 speedo cable!!!

A big thanks must go to Brendan for all his effort that he put into the car and for convincing me that it had to be done.... yes you were right!
Also Gilly on this forum for helping us out with some altenator wiring issues. he is a book full of 4AG knowledge

More than happy to help anyone else out going to do this conversion or any questions you may have.
All comments welcome, criticism will be taken as constructive

sweet as

[Gilly]

that is cool as

i love the old skool 4 spoke dragways. ihad a set EXACTLY like that i was so devastated when i realised they were 4x110

check my tech article on the alternator wiring as it may have been a little different to what i told Brendan. the tech article way is definately the 100% spot on, bomb shiz way of wiring it

i'm using an AE86 speedo cable in mine and it seems to work correctly most of the timeu have to pull all the plastic retaining shit off at the dash end and then tape around the speedo socket on the cluster so the 86 cable will fit snug (you'll see what i mean)

if not i used a manual KE70 cable in my old 20v KE70 conversion it used (obviously) a T50 as well and i never had a drama.

i'll move this to the *E7* section, we need more fat ones in there!!

That's pretty freakin cool. The induction noise must be sic!

Yeah thanks again for your help Gilly. we got the altenator working i knew what i needed to do just didn't know what wires to do it with

I will have a go at my speedo on Monday be great to have it working again instead of just guessing at the speed cameras.

will add more pics later. These were taken just after it was running. We have tidied up the witing loom and engine bay a bit more.
Induction noise is unreal although it has socks on it now - not that they tone it down much.

fuk yeah jase finally got the build thread up....good to see...this lil thing is so thraoty with the twin sidies the induction noise is porn....this conversion took a little longer than planned as we ran into a few hickups but finally got there and all the trouble we went to was worth it as this thing flies.. so much better than my ae86 when it had the 16v in it

my 2c

thats nice and neat mate, i love a clean as conversion.

the heatshield looks so neat looks 1000 times better than some i've seen

is that dizzy locked timing wise? or have you sussed out some sort of way around it now there is no computer involved?

congrats guy's you have skills, a full credit to your workmanship, this is one of my faves.

[dr1ft-pig]

cheers gilly....as for the timing we have it set at i think its 32 degrees advanced and that little black module next to the coil in one of the above pics retards the timing to normal when car is running havent had any troubles with it works well, the little module isnt expensive either u can just buy it from repco..it is a bosch item, not sure on part number nut im sure jase can help you out with that if ever you want to use this setup as its much more simple to wire than an ecu....

[Course_Out]

Awesome car! So good to see a neat, shiney ke70!

I would very much like to know what the part number is for the module as well, and also what brand inlet manifold you used and did eliminate the tvis?

Thanks heaps, fantastic car!
