K10 no.2

[karlj]

Bought this little gem off Doug yesterday

 

[karlj]

Tidy little motor 23k miles minimal rust

 

[karlj]

And a boot full of goodies

 

[pork]

Nice!!

What's the plan man

At the moment nothing special, got a k11 parts car so it'd be rude not to use it

 

[pork]

Cool, engine swap then?

Would be rude not to, have almost everything to do it (except space, time and knowledge)

 

[Dougyledds]

Back all good then!

Easy mate, bolt to your gearbox, use a preface lift cg10 flywheel, clutch,
weld on drivers side mount done,
Put mine in on my own in a few hours

Then you just gotta think how your gunna run it, EFI/carbs,

Your gunna need an external electric pump either way, so if you've got ECU and stuff allready, then stick with EFI, and get injection fuel pump

Done

Easier said than done for me, I have nowhere to do it

 

[karlj]

Doug I forgot to ask is it a stock cg10?

Done 90% of mine on the sloping drive outside my flat

I did use the a frame crane at the workshop to put engine in, only because the hoist type crane was in use somewhere else.

Honestly mate, it's really easy, u could do it no problem.

I really don't think there's an easier engine conversion

Efi would defo be easier, you don't have to modify the ma10 dizzy to fit the cg head, which is a right pain!


DO IT!

Yuh! Apart from that sweet cam cover

 

[karlj]

Haven't done anything to the car since buying it but that doesn't mean nothings happening

Started stripping my silver k11 of it's engine wiring loom and the engine of stuff that I need for the cg10 I got off Doug

Unfortunately I get very easily distracted so other than some inlet parts I still have a lot to do

 

[Dougyledds]

Crack on lad!

 

[karlj]

Started stripping the cg10 that Doug gave me as he said it was running rough when he removed it

Whipped the head off, is this normal carbon build up on top of the pistons?

 

[Dougyledds]

Used to go into some weird 3 cylinder mode! Unless it was just an air leak or something

 

[frank]

looks pretty normal to me karl

 

[karlj]

looks pretty normal to me karl

Cheers Frank

 

[Dougyledds]

I wonder what it could of been then? Gunk stuck in the TB?

 

[karlj]

Don't know, we'll see how it runs once I've got everything sorted

 

[karlj]

Swapped steering wheels over

 

[karlj]

Got the engine loom out of the k11, is there anything else I need before I call the scrap men

 

[r-reg-sr]

nats stuff?

 

[pork]

Brakes, wishbones, track rod ends

Gearbox/flywheek maybe?

Is it a pre f/l cg10

I was thinking more about the wiring loom, I'm just going to stick the cg onto the ma box but run injection

 

[pork]

Brakes/hubs and wishbones bolt straight on mate, defo worth doing,

Think it's only 5 bolts a side

When you put it like that lol

 

[andre_f_carvalho]

The track road ends it's really need for the conversion on k10 to put k11 hubs?

 

[karlj]

Ok so been really busy with other things so still nothing has happened

Still have the parts car so I figure ill use everything thing under the bonnet just have a few questions

Can I use the steering column as well as the rack?
With the car being a 2000 (w reg) does it have mechanical or electronic Speedo sensor and can it be modified to suit the k10 clocks?
Is it worth using the complete wiring system from the k11 so that I can make use of NATs?

Electric speedo on that one Karl, I'd be pulling the whole loom out and swopping it over for simplicity

 

[karlj]

Have decided to go in a completely different direction with this car to what I've previously posted, progress will be painfully slow due to other commitments

 

[karlj]

With Charlie back on the road the 10 is coming off which means I no longer need to worry about needing it to get me to and from life stuffs

 

[karlj]

Made a start

Just need to remove the 25 year old sound deadening and put in some seats and we're half way there

 

[h701micra]

Pick a cold day for the insulation removal

 

[karlj]

I was just going to hammer and chisel it once I've binned the interior

 

[h701micra]

That's all I'd do anyways

 

[karlj]

Got some new carbs on the way, so will have to have a chat with a couple of companies I know to get a mani made and have them refurbed

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

phwaa! What carbs you got?

 

[karlj]

The ad said Honda 600 sooo... no idea lol

 

[h701micra]

Got a photo Karl?

 

[karlj]

I'll grab the ebay one for ya

 

[karlj]

These are all of them

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Flipping heck there pretty old school bike carbs haha. Should be good though, and because the float bowls are level with the intakes you don't need the intake mani to be swept up like with other bike carbs

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

How much were they if you don't mind me asking

Just hope there's room for them

20 posted so it's no real loss if they don't work out

 

[Fujiwara-Ben]

Can't argue with that! Hope they work out for yers

 

[karlj]

Can't see why they won't, it'd just be space that'd be the issue

 

[karlj]

Had a present waiting at my dad's... Pics tomorrow
