The speeding cockroach

Alloytec have a horrible timing chain setup, it isn't really sufficiently strong enough even for a standard engine let alone one that gets thrashed. In saying that you can buy belt drive kits for them which gets rid of that problem.

Power wise they do have a lot of potential, the VVT works well and the heads are fantastic even in standard form. Not worth it if you keep the standard chain setup though.

One of the cams is interference too. But yeah agree the chains suck and are a bit of a bitch to change.

THIS I have got to see.

All of the cams are interference. There's nothing especially hard about the chains either, it's just dot-to-dot for the timing, locking tools are 100% optional. Worst part is removing the ancillaries in order to remove the timing cover, depending on model.

ANYWAY ENOUGH TALK ABOUT PUTTING A SHITTY GM ENGINE IN AN AE86.

Yep by bitch i meant a big job that leaves your bench full of bits.

Turbo beams gaz, you won't regret it.

So yeah, bought a ke70 to donate some of its parts to the 86

Parts wise it has 4agte, w5x box, f series, adjustable arms all over the place, haltech, e85 etc etc. Gunna take it for a few runs in the ke shell while the 86 gets prepped. Not in love with the shark teeth.. But anyway will be some fun.

Has some good fruit that ke...

Ok update time.

The ke70 served out 2 drift weekends with troubles on both Alternator and overheating at raleigh, then fuel supply issues at QR matsuri.

So, strip down happened

With the KE out of the garage and getting ready to sell on (still has weld in half cage, so worth a couple of $$) the 86 is getting some attention.
Ive swapped in the F series diff so can roll it around for the moment, and have found that it has the wrong spring lands... bonus.

So as it stands now the car is pretty bare, i've started attempting to fix the rust.






Im learning how to weld...ill share some pics of the repairs another time, needless to say im glad i have a grinder haha
