Have you seen any reports on what the PPE intake manifold is like?
I noticed the intake a few weeks ago but haven't had a search for any reports.

with stage 2 u ge more response down low sacrificing top end power. good for zipping around in stop and start traffic.
with stage 3 u get more higher end power but at the cost of lower end.
depends what you want
both stage 2 and 3 cams have teh same low cam grindings, the stage 3 cams have a more agressive grinding that requires more RMSs to use properly, hence why there is more top end gain with the stage 3s.
I'll let you know the Stage 3 results when I get my setup up and running.

I just sent some to scrap metal 2 weeks ago :(

Dan, you serious about the alt pully?
that sucks :(

US$159
Total cost to my door was AUS$880 according to the credit card statement.
Would probably be about $20-30 cheaper on today's exchange rate. It was about 1.065 when I bought.
they have the quaife LSD at 10% off right now too, but it's just over the $1K limit at a delivered price still... just!

more bits...
-
part number is indeed FCP1528H
I have them in my car on sportivo calipers.
Purchased off the shelf from Race Brakes Sydney.
Sweet as. Only 1 number for both front and rear? I'll definitely give them a call, not easy to find places that can get them.
no, that part number is for fronts only.

I'm liking how you have done that mount. Quite different to what I've seen other people do.
Unfortunately I think the AW11 chassis support sits too low to do a similar thing :(
What are you planning on doing fuel delivery wise? Tap a thread for a return line into the standard rail or adapt the fuel system to returnless?

Dave, if you don't mind could you flick that spreadsheet my way?

i have the toms light weight flywheel that i pulled out of my car when i replaced everything with the MWR setup if ur interested .... send me a pm if u r.
Bill, I'm interested...

it allegedly was a spanish delivered vehicle............ if you have a look at all the little bits on it you will see spain written everywhere on it :P on the ecu, on the glass of the windscreen down in the bottom passengers corner and on other odd bits, also it has those weird markings around the vin number on the firewall. ill send you a pm with the other details i know of
interesting, I doubt it's spanish because it's RHD. All the stickers I saw match the aussie cars, and if it was a euro delivered car it would have been built in Belgium, not South Africa.
Cheers for the pm though, I'll keep in touch and let you know how it's going. :)
cheers for the help so far though, much appreciated.

hahaha, yep Dani, that's the one.
I actually had someone ask me if it came with the pedal rubbers. I was not so fussed.
I didn't notice the loom being open, but will take a closer look. At least all the wires are there and in the right place... I hope... it did seem that way.
They couldn't start it because it didn't come with a transponder key, but that didn't bother me, and also meant I got it for quite a bit less than the ususal market price I've seen these go for.
Engine seems pretty clean so far, but there was a bit of sludge on the underside of the tray on the top of the oil pan.

productive afternoon...
engine and gearbox have bid each other fairwell temporarilly, as has the engine loom...
bare engine, ready to go on the stand (hopefully it will fit with the clutch still in place)
lonely Mr C64...
the unfortunate news... it's still open diff, and looks like a standard clutch.
made some good progress today.
Engine is up on the stand, clutch looks fubar, intake has some oil residue in it (front end damage on the car could cause this) but the engine turns over OK and it looks pretty clean under the cam covers.
It's all pretty much pulled down now, time to get polishing, cleaning, and then reinstalling all the new bits to get it running again
where it sits now :)
The block is becoming smaller and smaller every day... I'm scratching my head trying to work out how this is called 'progress'
Replaced the thermostat today, pulled off the oil pan and washed and prepped the suface for the replacement pan, also pulled off the timing gear to install the replacement oil pump gear... all the timing gear came off pretty easy, but managed to stip the head of screw on the oil pump assembly. I was able to pull it apart with a easy out, and the other screws came out alright, but need to hunt down some replacements before I put everything back together unfortunately. :(
Also decided to bight the bullet and ordered some valves and springs... yep, it's going to rev to spastic RPM... well, above 9,000 anyway. This should make best use of the cams and net me a few more kWs perhaps. So waiting for those to come in will put reassembly of the engine back a few weeks.
So the still required list sits at
clutch
flywheel
gasket kit
LSD
the chains and guides look in good order so don't shouldn't need to replace them just yet.
anyway... pics
I also found these rather interesting... I wonder if they fit?
-
some more updates that I hadn't put up here yet...
engine extraction shennanigans...
unfortunately these are the only photos that didnt come out blurry as ****..Engine no move? Hammer fixes this
Obligatory halfcut shot
Dylbo power! With steve driving :P

engine's stock although I have been eyeing some stuff off at MWR, quite tempted given the current exchange rate.
tell me about it, I've already spent $3k... still another $2k worth of stuff to go as well.
The exchange rate right now is one of the reasons I finally started the conversion.
-
great Jason. Good to see more 2ZZ conversion love going on...
I'd offer to race you to get them on the roads but I know you'll beat me.
Has anything been done to the engine or is it all stock?
-
freed the engine and subframe from the body of the halfcut today, thanks to Vito, Rona and Wagonist for their help.
now to tackle the wiring for the body and dash harnesses and then get rid off this corolla frame.
Engine looks awesome though. Despite it being a frontal hit with quite a bit of damage to the frame and sub structure, the engine is perfect other than some small dings in the oil sump.
and Dave, I was lead to believe that all 2ZZs were assembled in Japan and shipped to South Africa/UK/Belgium/US to be fitted...
-
OH, and if any of the Qld guys know the history of this car it would be great to get some details.
The 1/2 cut came from a wrecker in Qld.
-
timely bump...
this has just graced our garage :)
Looks like I'm back in the realm of 2ZZs :D
PIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICS :)
just landed
VIN - according to the stickers on the rad it was built in Sept 2003
Shows it was a South African built Aussie delivered car... but the engines were still made in Japan, that's what matters :D
after a short amount of time and a 10 and 12 mm ratchet...
this is going to be the fun part
-
Sorry guys I've been O/S for the last month.
Dave, can pick up this weekend if you still have it there.
-

-
Sorry Dave, My wife has been in hospital so I haven't been on here lately.
can organise something this weekend though to pick it up.
I'm up in Sydney these days (Hurtville area) so should be easy to organise something.
Sorry for the delay mate.
Cheers

yep, 54.1 with a rise to 55mm where the brake rotor is mounted.
2zzge AE82 sedan conversion
in Members Rides
Posted
Jason, just as a point of reference I have a feeling the AE82 brake support dimentions are the same as the AW11 so ST185 front rotors bolt straight up with the Sportivo calipers with a crush washer between the turn knuckle bracket and the caliper just to centre the disc in the caliper.
There should be plenty of other upgrades that with bolt to those dimensions.
