KE26 13b turbo

[mr_wat_the]

hey guys.

Been meaning to put a thread up for ages but never got around to it, so here it is..

Plans for the car are:

- 13b series 5 import motor unopened
- GT3776 standard bearing turbo 1.12 rear
- Microtech or Haltech, havent decided yet
- Standard injectors to start with, if it doesnt run well, will get 1000cc's in there
- 3" stainless exhaust 2 mufflers
- bosch 044 fuel pump
- Carter lift pump
- Custom 2L surge tank
- custom fuel tank
- 3spd Jatco freshend up, 3500 stall, ratchet shifter
- Shortened hilux diff, leaf springs moved in to suit rims + tyres, new shocks
- Otomoto coilover kit at the front
- Hopper stopper brake kit (290mm rotors, au calipers, all bolted straight up)
- 15x7 convo pro's in the rear, 15x4 at the front
- Standard interior, retrimmed seats, autometer gauges


Still got a bit of work to go but it should be fun in the end....Here are some pics, enjoy!!!

seconded.

any reason for the 3spd jatco and not something a bit more modern?

- 1 point for convo pros. :/

[mr_wat_the]

wanted the 3spd jatco because they are common among the rotary guys, didnt want to go glide or c4.. And also the 13b rx7 ser 1, 2 ,3 come out with the jatco and bellhousing already bolts up.

I love how it says plans for the car, when it looks like most of that stuff is actually in the car already .

[mr_wat_the]

lol its just my to do list....

[mr_wat_the]

If I knew earlier I could have sold the panel van to you. I still know where it is, and the guy might sell it, if you are interested

[lysdexia]

very cool, watching with interest

the best corolla shape ever made imo, what a weapon.

[Shifty]

agreed, the 3sp is a relatively tough unit, cheap to buy, cheap to build, and bolts up... win all 'round

ps: what the fuck is wrong with convos? i propose a lifetime ban.

[millsi]

loving the mid 90s sized cooler!

and the convos look sweet!

[mr_wat_the]

haha i 2nd the ban ... i love the convos, thanks for the comments guys

[OKE020]

doh!

[Shifty]

she looks a bit sad!!

Suprisingly it was not too bad. All the rust was in places that are fairly easily fixed. The worst being on the rear passangers gaurd. The paint was stuffed, I just had too many projects to do at the time (still have a Ke26 - every day driver)

All we need to do now is finish this off and make space in my shed for some more tools.

[RX22NV]

I think there are enough tools in that shed, but you do need some more equipment, and more 2jz

[mr_wat_the]

the lack of 2jz makes the shed homie

The size of your shed and the amount of tools that you fit in on a weekly basis would concern me!! (pelican boy)

2jz what?? what do you mean? are they a new engine? i havent heard of them before?

[Shifty]

you'll love the ps1000, although i'm not sure how they go on rotors?

dale can probably shed some light.

any moar pictures?

[mr_wat_the]

for the ps1000 im taking dales word for it lol...seen some good advantages over the microtech, cant wait to see how it goes on coffins car aswell.... Finished the first intercooler pipe today, gotta go back and modify the 2nd pipe tomorow night then back to work to tig it..

[tim510]

alot of the sydney based rotary workshops are moving towards Haltech I believe.

No doubt they are a good product. My shitty 'ole E6K still works well and it's nearly 10 years old.

[mr_wat_the]

alot of them are....except the workshop who mounted the engine and box and done some of the other work...he was deadset against it..but i wanted the haltech so yeah

[10sec rx7]

Looking good mate!

[mr_wat_the]

ok quick update,
- haltech is ready to go in, dummy fitted wiring to see where everything goes
- had to drill and tap the snout on the throttle body to accomodate the bigger air temp sensor for the haltech.
- LS1 coils are mounted and wired.
- First half of exhaust is welded up, up to the diff.
- Cooler pipes are nearly done, throttle side done just gotta finish the turbo side.
- Tailshaft loop is done, tail shaft is in
- rear end is completely welded up now
- radiator is on its way from just alloy radiators.
- ratchet shifter is in and connected
