Hey guys/girls,

Have been watching over 86DC for a while now and thought I'd pop up what I've done/got so far on my KE70 and a few plans for the future. Plus i thought it would also be a good way to get some good advice & idea's from everyone else on here.

So plans for the rolla are:

1. 4agze converted over to a 4agte, would be happy with 230+rwhp
2. W58 gearbox
3. Hilux diff assembly with disc brake for hydro h-brake
4. Coil overs, 86 p/s arms, adjustable/upgraded rear arms, big front brake upgrade
5. Roll cage
6. Keep it some what of a grandma looking car to keep away from cop attention plus it has to be my daily

So I bought the car about a year ago and have just slowly started gathering bits and piece's and making decisions on what i'm going to do/ run and so forth. Here is a few photo's of when i first got it and and a few photo's of what i have gathered so far.

This is it the first drive home from the Gold Coast


A few months later i had lowered it (cut springs), thrown some roof racks on, some weather shields and a tow bar to tow my jetski


So i got my hands on a Ae82 that had a 4agze smallport MAP sensor motor in it with a genuine 115,000kms. So i pulled it out to get ready for some more mods


I then stripped it down and gave it an oven cleaner hit and it came up a treat.


I then gave it a good hit with black engine heat proof paint and welded a return bung for the oil feed while i had the sump off and also prepared the surface of the block


I had the head sent away to be pressure/cracked tested and it all came up good as gold. I then thought while I've got it off i might as well get the machine shop to give it a port and polish to gain those few killawasps. I put it all back together with ARP head studs, Cometic head gasket, full seal kit, water pump, timing belt & tensioner, rear main seal and so forth.


I then brang the engine home and started to collect other items.


So after a while my pile of bits has grown but still need a lot more before i even think of installing anything yet. So far i have: Hilux housing with Ke mounts, W58 gearbox with adapter bell housing, NPC H/D clutch to suite, Ae71 cross-member, Ae71 pedal box, new engine/g-box mounts, blacktop ITB's, K&N 3" filter, GTX2867R turbo with 12psi actuator, 3" S/S mandrel bends for the exhaust and intercooler piping, 3" S/S hotdog & 3" VAREX muffler, also have some smaller S/S bends as i'm running a split dump and a S/S flexi-joint, eBoost 2 boost controller, TurboSmart FPR, RCA's and still waiting on my 6Boost exhuast manifold to turn up.


So that's all so far but have a long way to go before i get installing parts. My plan it to have it all finished up before the end of the year, fingers crossed.

Hope to keep you all updated when i start getting more parts and fitting them up.
