My Rolla

[bezender]

Firstly i thought i would share a bit of history of the car

**these first pics are from a previous owners posts on another forum**

here she is b4 it all started

the guy, then shaved off the rear door handles, and the gay airvent

then it was given a budget respray

after this the guy put in in the 4k and strapped a 2nd hand t28 turbs on there

this is the previous owners finished project

when i bought it, it had a newer turbo on, and some ass hat had put the stock carby back on. here are some pics of it pretty much as it was when i picked it up

the fuel tank was pissing fuel out of it (would drain 45lt over night) and the carby was dropping fuel straight onto the exhaust housing of the turbo

the other thing i have done is get some TRX wheels on the old girl... had nightmares with wheelnuts

needs a wash, but u get the picture

i tried to mend the tank with a stick welder (the big weld was already on there.. i just made the hole lol)

also the plenum for the carby is being modified, the inlet needs to me facing toward the turbo so i can use the same pipe between the carb and turbo

needs to face the front of the car, and not across the rocker cover

i got a hookup with an ex-hot rod builder who was willing to take an oxy torch to the tank and fix the plenum

here is the fixed plenum:

and the tank now has massive weld on it (previously just had a dirty big one)

it still leaks the tiniest bit, but i will fix that with putty. due to the way the fuel system is set up (no return line so that fuel runs thru the exhaust into the turbo to give me a bit moar power) it pressureises the tank to 9psi making the leak seem bigger than it is.

here is a mock up of the induction pipe and plenum :

and here she is all plumbed up. i had to do alot of sketchy grinding on the induction pipe to fit well... didnt have anything to hold it so i had a well rickety rig holding it together

please note the use of cable ties to keep the throttle cable in place, and my ghetto bracket to keep the fuel line off the rocker cover lol

also my kick ass oil breather (11ty extra kw right there).

need to play with plug gaps and timing to get her running... it will go without the turbo plumbed in (although not very well atm) and stalls with it all together.

more updates as the come

[scandyflick]

[bezender]

looks like such a cool little project to work on this 4K-turbs, nice work Carl! is this Ryans old car?

im thinking about buying another rolla, will probably be looking out for a cheap KE70 in the future. i've still got 4k parts & goodies to suit in my shed!

[scandyflick]

awesome!, one day i might throw a better motor in, but atm im a bit adverse to spending much $$ on it cos i got it pretty damn cheap. dont want it to owe me as much as the 32

[Ryanrb25]

nice going carl, i wish i had the time to spend on it when i had it but the previous owner had butchered a whole shit load of things and i had better things to do. Good to see i sold it to a worthy buyer keep up the good work.

[bezender]

cheers ryan,

you're absolutely right about the yarder work that has been done on it. once i get it running ok with the current setup. ill redo the whole fuel setup cos it has a bad case of gay.

[DR JOSH]

Pretty sure Ace broke his legs over the past weekend, so you may be out of luck there. Pretty gay
