Yes all good things do to take time. Very nice Sean You've got skills no doubt.

Cheers, I thought 3 years from purchase to near completion was not too bad... I don't think they are ever truly finished though.

Hopefully it goes as well as it looks!

This is a few shades darker (or deeper) than the colour on my B10!

Looks neat, when do you plan to complete it?

Have you done much to the L16 in terms of performance mods?

Chris

Way too smooth for a racer Sean
Lovely

Ahh the photos do make it look pretty good! Theres even unground welds in someplaces, and I found some unsanded filler today.

The photo here makes it look a little greener than it is... I was after a real dirty grey, its a bit too blue.

The L16 has been taken apart and put back together with new rings and bearings, new timing set with adjustable gear, billet cam (Cam Timing is 38-76-76-38, Duration @ .050# 247

i'll let you borrow my L18 while its out of the car so you can see how L series can really go

Yeah go on, crate it up!

looks like a good candidate for a ka24e hybrid if you can get the L16 re-sleeved to 87.5mm (with notched valve grooves) and use a L14 crank with custom 28mm pin height pistons, L20b rods with such pistons will make the rod/stroke ratio 2.211, which will easily rev over 10K rpm and 1587cc.

Bahahaha D this is the millionth time ive read you mention to people with l-series to do the ka24de head conversion lol. You must be keen to see it my friend, have you before?

Yes its a work of art and pure efficiency

ka24e L series hybrid

Could you not get a rwd ka24e from one of the utes and rebuild it with L series internals?

Looks fantastic mate.

I'm assuming they are 13" by 8" Superlites?

Do you know what the offset is?

Cheers Matty

but D, what sorta timing cover would you use for KA head onto L16 or L18, as all the Z series ones are taller
thats why you only ever see it being done to L20b's im pretty sure
and isnt the compression ratio way too low with the KA head?

but atleast now i know how to mod the CA cam angle sensor to the L series....now who was it that said the CAS had to be modified coz it spins backwards?

13x7's actually. I have remeasured the offset as I had stated it was -21 at some point, they are -7.

I'll be happy with the SOHC, I have too many cams and race parts that I want to try in the future, if someone wants to research and build me a hybrid feel free to donate the time and money!

Timing cover would have to be cut and shut, I'd perfer the KA bottom end with a high compression sohc head.

Im jealous looking good sean

looks tuff as man nice work
love wheels and flairs thats thats the look im goin for on my ute

Cheers mate

I should say they have 20mm bolt ons and a 8mm slip on behind them on the rear.

HAHA tell ozdat that!
