SR20DE+T KE70 in the buildzzz

[Simon-KE70]

Hey all

got sick of not drifting and the 32 is for sale... so thought i';d get stuck into building a cheap rolla up, I have to say that seeing Leigh pidwells car in action over the past year has made me want to get one, I battled him at Drift Fest last year and it was just damn quick for the basic set up it was! So i thought yeah im gonna do it lol So i started gathering bits and pieces and everything has been done so far by myself or with the help of Dec's from Garage 7 in Mt Barker and soon to be All Type Crash once i get the body work finished.


the story goes like this. I got a stock KE, after some bitch slammed into my daily AE92 writing that off. Needed a car for work hence the stock KE, thatr lasted around 2 weeks before i blew the HG on the shitty 4k motor... so hooked up a cheap S14 SR20DE halfcut and put that in there, but i thought well since i have the whole half cut i mas as well put the rack, power steer, crossmember and susp in too.. so i did all that and drove it NA SR for a while... still stock looking with 13's and rear blinds lol... put some good 15 inch tyres on it and took it out to lala for some skids and the thing lasted 2 laps before breaking the shaft that the thrust bearing carrier runs on.... sigh... engine out job to fix since with the SR in the rolla... there aint ANY room to get to bellhousing bolts.

It was at this point i decided f**k it... turbo it and do a bit of a build up.

So here are the specs so far with some pics to go with it.

Susp: S13 coilovers with AE86 tops, custom length with TRD blue shocks and a 6kg spring, custom length LCA's, bump steer adjusters, rack spacers Rear consits of TRD blue 8 way shocks and a 4.5kg spring, adjustable panhard rod and swaybars front and rear. RE001's all round and yeah... handles AWESOME.

Motor: S14 SR20DE+T stock internals with turbo gear bolted on, Power Enterprise PE1420 turbo, braided lines, Exedy 5 puck clutch, B&M Oil cooler and filter relocator kit, Greddy intercooler

Drivetrain: RB20 Gearbox with SR bellhousing, custom shifter location, R31 skyline diff housing and centre, currently a 3.7 will prob change to 4.1, unsure yet, mini spool to go with it, Shall be running a Twin caliper set up with one circuit for normal brakes and other for handbrake only.

Other specs and stuff to come/go on the car: Hydraulic handbrake custom made, brake bias valve, water sprayer kit, custom s13 modified knuckes, R33 4 pot brakes with 4 stud rotors. and some BIG wheels.
