My GT coupe

Khamsins rims look great on hachis. But I'm biased...

Where did you find those Khamsins?
I used to own a set, sold them to Mux and he sold his car including them. I've only seen one other set for sale at Marktplaats, but they are not the same as yours.

they came with the ae86 my brother bought i think 6years ago, it was the only mod on that car.He bought that car near tilburg i think.

Small update:

-Front fenders now painted in the right colour
-Skirts painted and mounted
-Rear wheel arches fixed and painted ( to the car shop dude, body shop work really is an art!)

Next step:
-Get those BBS E50's shining again, include 10mm spacers for the front and lower the car some more (spring hits the tire now)
-MOT in January

Keep you posted!

Nice going and the BBS rims would make the car a great looker!

Hooked up the 20v on a stand and replaced the timing belt, hooked up the electrics and fuel to see if the engine still started and everything seems to still function just fine.Made a simple switchboard and fuel tank.

Next step will be hooking up the cooling and make the it suitable for RWD use.Now looking for an RWD pump housing.

Meanwhile i will be studying/ making an approche plan for the KDFI/Megasquirt (trigger wheel? COP? Wasted spark? Camshaft sensor? which sensors can be used?)

Wouter ask Aram he has made a 20v cooling block for a blacktop.

Nice to see one is back on the road again :-)

Most people use a crank trigger wheel with wasted spark. Keep the engine as simple as possible. There is a guy who uses Omex600 in NL who tunes it on a crank trigger wheel. (builds kit cars)

I think a camshaft sensor is probably the most reliable option combined with wasted spark.
If there is one that will fit out of the box, I dont know, but I bet someone out there tried the GZE one on for size, so google around.
You could also try to make one fit, I've seen this done with volvo's (using a mitsubishi sensor).
Crank triggers are ok, but due to sensor location when using a trigger wheel they are more susceptible to vibration.

Considered using 20v distributor?
Lose the unnecessary parts and i guess it could stay at the back of the engine without "firewall massage".

[wouter86]

since the cast-iron crankshaft pulley is not really suited to drill and tap holes in i showed it to the guys at the toolshop from my work.They said we can make one out of aluminium on a lathe which gives a nice surface for mounting a trigger wheel.

The trigger wheel i can draw in autocad and get it lasercut.

i believe dismantling the distributor and leaving only the trigger wheel intact with one tooth filed away will give me a camshaft position sensor and enough room to fit the engine without much massaging.

found a perfect rwd waterpump housing on ebay but since my reputation is 0 the seller is not willing to sell, damn! just keep on looking.

Made a crackshaft pulley on a lathe and spark-eroded a keyway in the pulley.

Made a contact pattern and everything fits well.Next up is the trigger wheel, i drew one but can't really find the specified sizes for the teeth online so i divided the wheel op 50/50. 50% is teeth, 50% is empty.also made a hole on the other side of the missing tooth, keeping mm2 and distance from center in mind (the missing hole surface is bigger than the missing tooth surface)

ofcourse any suggestions for corrections are welcome!

Connected the cooling 20v FWD style and included a heater, in the meantime still looking for an rwd waterpump housing and alternator bracket, these are pretty hard to get!

as a side quest i wanted to fit 1NZ coil on plugs, its not as easy as i thought, the diameter is bigger than the blacktop spark plug hole.So i tried to bring the diamater back somewhat on the lathe, the isolator housing just cracks no matter how easy i go.I measured the isolator housing but its quite thin to begin with, tried to file one down with care but the COP will just get stuck, anyone suggestions on how to do this?COP without the isolation seems a bad idea.
