FYI, this is Lloyd smiths latest daily project...ae111 itbs
That is Awsome! His 1UZ KE gave me inspiration to do this. Ive got a 4AGZE daily but 3rz looks better! I though AE111 ITB's would be too small? Now I think about it the revs would be lower so airflow would be equal to say a BEAMS reving at 8-9k (extreamly rough figures) Thought about it for this car but I think I better keep the long runners. Did he make a custom sump and/or space the crossmember down?

Did a heap more races and the car ran perfectly all day other than me hitting a tyre. I still have to make some sort of heat sheild for the intake because after a few runs close together it gets hot.
Had to make a new tailshaft tunnel for the rear:
Because we got it squatting like this:
And a few more:
that was a good day up beverly all though the ke35 got pretty warm plenty of times
I finally organised a video! its of the first meeting with the 3RZ, I have since improved and gotten much more used to the car. Ill get another vid next time.

nice conversion champ... i love it.
i cant tell if youve moved them or not, but id be worried about the exhaust heating up your brake and fuel lines there..... especially when you are gunning it on a rally track. Youd hate to cook your brake fluids to the rears.
similarly - id be worried about heat soaking the brake master and lines too from the extractors. Some heat shielding probably wouldnt go astray??

Cheers. The fuel line is on the other side of the tunnel and we acutaully have some alfoil baking trays wrapped around the brake and clutch master cylinders, after the first race the plastic resivoirs were very soft and thats all we had. The runs only last around a minute and a half with a large break between runs (which we leave the bonnet open to cool it) so it hasnt been too much of an issue
Looks like soo much fun. Keep up the vids
So im selling my GZE daily/drifter and this is the new drift rig, so i swapped some of the suspension over so it now has:
Whiteline swaybars
T3 castor rods
4.5kg rear springs
6kg fronts
KYB short strokes in the rear
Took it out this weekend and struggled for the start of the day using mostly 3rd gear and doing a heap of limiter bashing going nowhere, then later on started using 4th and it kept it in the power range which is quite low (max hp at 4800) but due to the mass amounts of tourqe this thing has it loved it and just kept pulling. I didnt manage to get any in-car footage as the camera was flat
I also made this heat sheild as you couldnt touch the intake pipe after a run it was that hot:

Why don't you get your exhaust ceramic coated?
