corolla ke30 sr20 turbo

PAGE 1 SHINY PICS
PAGE 2 CONVERSION PICS

This is my ke30 corolla i spent a few years building, it has an sr20det,gt28rs, falcon diff, commodore brakes, adjustable ride height, drop tank, white interior, speco dash, custom radiator, and 780x300 intercooler.

Intercooler is 780x300x75, and has 3inch inlet and pipework. It sits behind a 78 model grill.

The Nissan SR20 motor was a fairly easy fit. The main drama with
this conversion is changing the clutch to hydrolic.Other than that, the rear of the gearbox tunnel needed widening, and custom mounts needed to be fabricated.

Wheels are 17x7 with 205/40 front, and 225/40 rear.

The white dash has been fully restored by Dashboard Restorations, and the result is less than impressive. The green panels that hold the speco gauges have been filled to make them smooth, and then sprayed in 2pac.

The front disks are off a 2001 holden commodore V8, they are a vented 300mm disk with 2spot callipers. The struts have been modified use a camary strut tube and shock, this is a much shorter shock and allows an extra 3inches of travel. The struts have also been converted to adjustable ride height, and king springs.







The drop tank holds 75 litres, and is custom made to suit a fuel filler that sits under the boot lid. The idea of the drop tank is to improve handling by lowering the centre of gravity of the vehicle.
The lift pump is a 130 gph procomp pump, it runs into the boot where the fuel goes to a 1.5 litre surge tank. The pressure pump is a Bosh 044 pump. The whole system has been upgraded to 10mm fuel lines. Fuel pressure is controlled by a malpassi regulator at 45psi.




Rear diff is a borg warner out of a EB ford falcon. It is 28 spline LSD, and has a four pin centre. Both axels have been shortened and re-splined back to four stud. The tailshaft used is out of a nissan bluebird, it has been shortened and has the falcon end machined onto it.

i ventured to powercruise one day powerplay once again and on 19 psi she pulled out 288hp at the wheels, i was pretty happy with the result and will go back to crack the 300 soon.
