blinded's KE70 build

[blinded]

No pipes back yet (N) But I will have them tomorrow morning!

So tonight involved mounting the thermo fan and making the relay circuit for that. Also more wiring but inside the cabin finally. Mounted the ECU and ignition module, so now just have to clean a few more wires up in the cabin and after that the wiring will be finished!

The "tidy" loom made entirely sitting on the kitchen floor, pre-going in car:


ECU mounted flush with dash. Almost perfect fit there! Also the ignition module is fixed to the floor under the console which was again a perfect fit.

How it looks finished:



It is so unbelievably loud with a straight through 3" exhaust, so, I have got the exhaust off my 180 that has now sold and going to get a mate to chop and weld it to suit. Twin magnaflo mufflers and a cat, was 88dB with the 180, so will be nice and quiet on the KE.

It's also pretty fast lol.

looks good man, yeah it was a fucking loud system! goes pretty hard hey.

[blinded]

Goes quite hard indeed haha.

Re-did the exhaust on the weekend so I can actually drive this thing on the road finally. Pretty quite now with 2 mufflers and resonator tip.

Video for the lulz too:


Plan is to put the RX7 injectors I have here in and get a retune done sometime in the next month. Also want to get a hand controller for the Microtech so I can actually see what is happening with the engine.

Other than that, need more skid wheels then I'll be having a decent shakedown at Winton

Did a couple of little things to this over the last few weeks.

Got rid of the standard clutch hardline as it was close to the dump. Replaced it with a braided line so now there is plenty of clearance. Looks alot tidier too.
Also replaced my headlight globes after 6 years of meaning to do so
Made a tacho booster to make the Microtech tacho signal suit the factory dash tacho.

Had an A/F meter on it last week and it is very rich down low, but leans out in the top end. Not dangerously lean, but enough to not want to give it a hiding for extended periods (Ie Drifting). I've got the car booked in to get tuned next weekend at Gentech in Canberra, so hopefully once that is done, I'll be able to give it hell

Shit yes tsu tsu tsu!

Once my front coilovers get here im organising a local late sesh, your coming haha. Ive got a few boys keen on building/owning 4age slide corollas and I might get your help to motivate them

[blinded]

Haha, keen.

I could help motivate one of them with selling them my old smallport package/exhaust

[Jdm-Mcc]

Hahaha they dont know alot about cars and quite frankly I couldnt be fucked doing it for them so im trying to line them up to buy built 4age ke70's

[blinded]

Finally got it back from being tuned! Made 128KW when I first dropped it off, then came back to pick it up with 146KW

Bring on Feb!
