Well these are the shootpeened stockers minus the stock piston(me got forgies hehehe) that are sittin in my built 22RE. HOw do they look compared to the stock KA24(D)E rods??

Post by **Craving4Boost** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 8:12 pm

how much is it to get them shotpeened? but with everything going on with out higher power ka-t's, i think people have to stop taking the shortcut of shotpeening. Looking good though man, keep up updated

good news, the turbo issue has been resolved, i also got the wastegate and have on order a copper manifold gasket from summit

got the intercooler mounted up, still waiting on a couple parts (oil lines, and fuel pump) before i actually install the turbo, should be a couple weeks.

The stock rods are powder forged, just the same as the SR rods... only weaker.

Post by **SonyPete** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 7:06 am

Powdered forged you say. Hmm I need to find out if Toyota powder forged ours. Are car manufactors usually known to just powder forge the rods or use regular forged rods.

FINALLY!!! an update

after moving the shop, and being swamped at deatschwerks ands school, with this being spring break i am able to make some headway.

i had to fab up some motor mounts using some grade 8 bolts and hockey pucks to rotate my engine towards the passangerside to get clearance for my turbo/brake master cyl.

yesterday a friend of mine came over to help me fab up the intercoller piping and downpipe, we got the downpipe done (no pics yet) and we are going to fab up the intercooler piping later today

driver side motor mount

pass side mount

turbo in it's final resting place

also piced up a couple more parts along the way..

volke racing AV evolution, 16x7 & 16x8. one of them had a nasty curb rash but had it professionaly repaired and you can't even tell it happend. going to have them refinsihed black or bronze with a polished lip

i also picked up some z32 brakes which will be installed as well (no pics, sorry)

today i am going to finish up the intercooler piping, relocate my PS reservior and ignition coil.

tomorrow i am going to remove the oil pan and put the one in i have the oil drain bung welded into as well as put in my hicas front power steering rack and ES steering rack bushings.

Awesome motor mounts.

Post by **superDorifto** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 11:32 am

the hockey pucks are a great idea...im really suprised that ive never seen anyone else attempt it before. now that ive seen it, it makes perfect sense. keep us updated.

hockey puck motor mounts........................very very interesting. post up pics of where u relocate ur ps reservoir. im looking into the same issue.

Post by **WDRacing** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 1:39 pm

My god...I played hocky for 12 years and never thought of that. I'm am going to attempt that myself soon. What a sweet idea. I was just going to weld up solid steal mounts, but the compressed rubber will be perfect.

yeah, they seem like they will work pretty well, 2 1/2 hockey pucks is about the same thickness as the stock motor mounts, but since i needed to rotate my engine about an inch for clearance, i just used two on once side and 3 on the other.

but that thing is stiff, you can't budge the engine in the engine bay, it just shakes the car.

Post by **WDRacing** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 5:02 pm

Yeah, my buddy had a 502 BB in his Iroc with a set of solid motor mounts. Your teeth would chatter at idle...but it was so friggin cool we didn't care...lol.

haha that's what there was for rad mounts on my truck

Thu Mar 16, 2006 8:20 pm

awesome terry!....makes me mad that i spent 200 bucks on cusco mounts...

Post by **david200095367** » Thu Mar 16, 2006 10:02 pm

those pucks look great, i think i will use them too.

If you want to pay shipping, I have a block-off.

Post by **ceniack** » Fri Mar 17, 2006 2:31 pm

a block off for what?

Post by **1995240sxSE** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 3:16 pm

those hockey pucks are the best idea I have seen to rotate the engine, I have a t304e just a little bigger than yours and was wondering how to do it, now I know, hockey puck! cool thanks for the idea!!!!!!

Post by **srdrps13** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 4:05 pm

lol howd you come up with the idea of hockey pucks?

Post by **Chezedik** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 4:34 pm

On one of the earlier posts, someone was looking for a block-off plate for the WG flange on their mani. I was offering mine.

The KA has now found the cheap motor mount technique

well my boss (david) suggested using them for mounts before we even started my turbo project when i first met him.

after bolting everything up to test fit, i noticed i had clearance issues. after racking our brain trying to figure out how to get clearance (thought of everything from a JDM bmc, to making an adapter plate for the manifold), i came up with the idea of custom motor mounts to clock the engine for clearance.

on a side note, the car is up and running, i need to do some cleaning up in the engine bay (and the car as a whole) but hopefully i'll have pics and vids up soon.

Post by **SX APPEAL** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 6:55 pm

Thats so awesome. What size bolts did you use for those mounts? and does the engine sit any higher or lower than it did before? Im just wondering about strut bar clearance.

Post by **ceniack** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 8:00 pm

engine doesn't really sit any higher than before that i can tell. i will have to dig out the bolts tomorrow but i think they were like 5/8" grade 8, i ended up having to buy some all thread and make my own studs though since i couldn't find any long enough
