1990 Ford laser KLZE track hack

I think you may be refering to the Z5 Neuman, I know you can swap a B6DE head onto a Z5 block or something. So we both may be right...who the hell knows haha.

JACK.

[neuspeedescort]

maybe but the z5 is already dohc. so the compression would be the only reason to do it.


NEUMAN

[bomdoutscort]

sorry i cant relate. LOL!!!!



some guys have swapped the 1.5L head to the 1.6L block or something like that. its a compression jumper. honda style.


NEUMAN

went to my favorite shop today.. p-a-p

picked up the elusive BA V6 hubs (was 3 lantis's there today)



still undecided on the two pot upgrade options
option 1 works well, and bolts up mint as , i'll get larger rotors to suit , but option 2 has larger pads, but is harder to find anyways?

I think I would go with the more standard spindle, but I would change the rubber brake lines for braided ones and that does make a big difference and maybe some good 16 or 17 tires wide enough to have good braking power.

and you beleive that will slow the car from 210km/h to 90km/h x 10-15 laps? with more than just that corner?


funny guy

the celica's brakes are pure rally spec, and they start to get a bit ..iffy after 10 laps, even with Hawk Carbon pads,fuild,braided lines and brembo slotted rotors.

I am going to need larger brakes than the stock V22-14's!

[dave0r]

i know ive been slack with the project. Moneys been tight so not much purchases and end of year **** being the bitch it is always is , Anyways time for a update



Cleaned out the shed , removed the carpet so i could work on the cars better



Wired up the car, ECU is mounted now ( KL-DE ECU with AFM etc) mostly as a get going ECU untill i can find a KLZE one


Radiator now mounted in its final place, now looked for a pressure reservoir as the radiator doesn't have one




manual conversion complete



Interior now back together again



Still looking for the engine mount holder
still needing the power steering lines
Still needing a brake master cyl with 4 wheel disks

other than that its basically taken care of

not far to go now, Cant wait

Wow. Interior on Laser is MUCH better than the Escort...
