Doc's KE20: - really coming together now

[cannabolic]

there's a company selling bacterias(LVN Biopruducts BV i NL should have them) which can be used as oil remover. You just mix the bacterias(powder) with water and pour it over the oil spot.
no harm to the enviroment

But that gauge is in Miles?

jup, but my own gauge will fit in there

[banpei]

Ah right... You probably don't have a whole cluster like the ae86.

[The Doctor]

It's in!
I also put in the TE27 centre console, but i didn't wire them yet.
I did it, because someone was interested in my stock centre console, so i swapped it in

[banpei]

Nice!

Today i finally got some time to finish the tuned head off (i know i work slower then my car drives atm! ).



Since the donor car i have, has a blown head gasket and the head is pulled of, i had a chance to compare stock 1.2 to the tuned 1.3 head:



From a guy from the UK, who is swapping a 1500cc 5K in his Toyota 1000 i heard that the engine didn't fit in his car. I know a Toyota 1000 is a bit smaller then a Corolla, but i never was sure that it would fit. So i again went to the yellow donor car to testfit the manifold+carbs+stacks on it

And they fit.....






















just





I guess i need the thinnest gaskets for the webers as i can find
I do have got some things to fit the webers better and less wobbly, but they are 1cm thick, and that would mean, the carbs don't fit more

And then i heard that the 1.2 head is junk, because there's a big hole in an oil channel, i needed to think what i could do with the stuff from the 1.2 head

Candle holders, someone?

Hey Doc,

Arent you going to get serious airflow problems that way?

[The Doctor]

dunno, maybe i need some shorter stacks, but i'll see that when it's finished and in the car

[robokill]

airbox should do the trick. instead of the horns. or simulate the 20v itb stack. the inlet goes down i believe

[NoHachi]

Airbox wont do the trick I'm affraid. A race engineer once told me that in order to visualise the airflow into a bell mouth, he usually though of (or actually used) a tennisball sitting on the bellmouth. That is more or less the area directly affected by the intake. The flowlines in the current situation are a serious compromise...maybe the situation can be improved by milling down the intake adapter and using an ultra short horn, but using the pair of downdrafts seems to be your cheapest option.
