Hi guys just wont to no what has to be done to upright a 4k

Hey guys, I just fitted a fixed back seat into my car and now I find the wheel is all up in my face, not just that but I can't reach the indicator stalk with a standard boss kit. Wondering if anyone knows where I can find the shortest possible boss kit to fit a ke70 or if anyone else has had this problem and how they dealt with it? I was thinking if I can't find one short enough, might just cut a section out of my current boss kit and weld it back together... anyone done this before?

Hey guys I'm in the process of stripping my celica back to bare metal and was wondering if there was a product to remove that underbody tar/rubber thats found in inner arches and underneath, wire wheel just clogs up and linisher just melts the tar and screws the disk. any ideas? that can take the pain and time of it away.

Taking out my inlet/exhaust manifold and coolant has started to leak out of the rear - top most bolt hole. So the last bolt towards the rear that both the inlet and exhaust get mounted to. I am able to squish the radiator hose and squirt coolant out of the bolt hole...... I wouldn't say that's normal? Could it be a headgasket problem? I'm not using any coolant or leaking any at the bottom, I only noticed it after I took off the manifolds. Again, WTF?

Hey guys. ive got a ke30 an i wanted to upgrade my suspension on it since I'm doing a v6 conversion to it. Not to sure what a good bolt on kit would suit it. so hit us up with some advise. Cheers flo

Hi all, a mate and I have just finished rebuilding his 4k with reground cam and shaved head, everything else is stock on the engine, we have gone to start it after the rebuild and it won't start? When turning over it is sucking air up the exhaust and pushing air out of the carbie. What does this mean? Any help would be awesome. Cheers Damon

hey guys just wondering if anyone with a 4AGE has had any problems with the area where the spark plugs are filling up with water? just went to crank my bros twinky over.....and the top plug cover must have leaked and was full of water. also is there a simple solution? cheers guys.

KE70 - XT130 Struts - What brake lines Bought a project fitted with XT130 struts and LCA,s On the Driver side the metal brake line is non existant and can't find it anywhere! So, just wondering if I use stock KE70 metal brake line and flexible hose, or do you use XT130 parts? Thanks, Al.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows of any rack ends I can use in my ke70 with custom 20mm extended lca's I have heard of using other tie rod ends and tubes to make up the differance but I would rather just get new rack ends that would work Thanks Miller

Hey guys, So my EFI setup is coming along very well and is almost at the state of completion with locking the dizzy being the final step. My original plan was to supercharge the motor with a light 5 psi setup on the stock 5k. I have been contemplating where to run the vac hose from the rocker cover and have come to the thought that the location of the throttle body is going to change the way that the supercharger behaves as well as vac ports. So as it stands the throttle body is nicely sitting on the plenum but I think that I am going to have to move it to the intake of the supercharger. Would this be the correct way setting it up? Because locating it there will g…

Hey guys I just bought my first ra40 and am keen to spend some coin on it.. Does anyone know where I can find an 18rg and how easy the conversion is? Also I want to make the brakes better and do the suspension the best possible way.. Any ideas? Cheers guys

hi all, I have searched but I failed to find the answer, I know that the thermostat plays a vital role in EFI engines but I am unsure of its importance in carby engines, as I have read that they are not of that high importance in carby car.. I just bought this KP-61 with 3K, engine sounds reasonable to me, but I found that the previous own had removed the thermostat also the Radiator Fan is connected to IGN1... because of extreme illiteracy, this is the first setup performed by the mechanics here.. referring that this is a hot country, we don't require it here... plus, if I have to install one, will a 4k or 5k thermostat will fit in?? Or just connecting th…

Just wondering if anyone has used 4x110 to 4x100 wheel adapters 1inch thick, I know they are illegal but so are spacers and I know of heaps of guys running spacers. Is there any performance problems with running adapters?

Hey guys I have a 4k from a ke70 that I want to put in a ke20 with a 2 speed toyoglide. Is there anything that doesn't match up? Or any parts that wont fit? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers brendan

G'day. My 5kc is copping some boost, So the 4kc head has made a comeback. Now i've seen people say 'I've heard you can run this' or 'This MIGHT work' But, I want to know what you're actually running According to the faq Chev lifters and a12 pushrods or Landcruiser lifters and a12 pushrods are the go Is anyone actually running this setup? Cheers, Jono

Literally everytime i log onto rolla club there's a new thread made about turbo 4k 5k etc what cam what carb etc. So i thought, why not have it all in one place. Post up your setups, question's advice etc in one place rather the creating a new thread which has more then likely been post approx 100000000x3 times. so, let the fun begin. :)

In my continuing bid to circumvent the AE series diagonal braking and aid in the installation of a Hydraulic handbrake, I've been investigating twin master cylinder pedal boxes with a balance bar. The fabrication shouldn't be a problem and it looks like you can get pre-fabbed balance bars off e-bay for reasonable dollars, so it's all down to pedal lengths, pivot points and actual master cylinder sizes. The standard bore on an AE92 m/cyl is 15/16" (23.8mm) and consulting the TRD bible on AE's, they claim to be using a 7/8" (22.2mm) for the front and a 13/16" (20.6mm) for the rear. And this is some of what isn't making sense to me at the moment. The Grp A Corolla's were u…

i am changing my standard 4kc carb with a weber 32/36 dgav, and I'm looking at the engine bay of my ke70 wondering on how I'm going to go about installing my carb, what has to go from the engine bay, what holes are safe to block ect ect and what size hosing ill need buy for the fuel line. but i look at this one component and think wut? ill post a diagram pic with my concern, then a blank canvas where you may draw your opinion or how you went about this component and hoses when u installed a Weber, otherwise when you installed your Weber what parts and hoses were useless in the installation of your weber carburetor. I'm amature as all shit with this stuff but your help is …

Hey all.. just wondering.. best way to do suspension on a Gp turbo... 1987 corolla 2.. any ideas??

I have a coil pack 4agze and was wondering if someone could tell me what the sensors on the airbox are as i would like to install a highflow pod air filter. Engine managment system is Wolf 3D Cheers, -Bob

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can confirm if the picture below contains a ae86 clutch slave cylinder. It's for my ke25 which has a w57 gearbox with a t50 to w5x bellhousing. I know its not a w57 slave cylinder as the one i bought is apparently for a MA61 and it doesnt fit. So if someone could confirm or deny or identify what clutch slave cylinder this actually is that would be great. The only identifying marks on it are....tcic 3/4 9617. Cheers

hey, i'm just wondering if my 1980 xt130 corona has a 4x114.3 stud pattern, any help would be much appreciated.. thanks

will 18r twin carbs/manifold and extractors fit on a 4age?

OK so my old temp gauge on my ke55s hasnt been working at all - i replaced it with a VDO and new sensor etc etc as well as water pump and thermostat. My question is now that I can see everything is working, the VDO shows the car heating up to about 100-110 and then suddenly dropping to 79 and staying stable all within say ten minutes max. I was quite alarmed when I saw the temp climbing so high - so basically, is the new thermostat faulty or is this normal and I'm not used to having an accurate guage ?? any help would be great :) cheers ps my daily driver is a golf and it just goes to 80 and sits there - has never gone higher ....

Ok if I were to mount number plates on a 1967 ke10 what bolts/screws/nuts will I need size wise?! Just to save screwing around tomorrow. Cheers Tom

i must have installed my rear main wrong, she's leaking a bit of oil and my new clutch feels like its slipping a bit. anyone know if i can buy just the clutch plate from anywhere? pressure plate is obviously still good its <500km old

Hey guys. I recently had a K50 gearbox in my ke26. Tomorrow i want to put in my four speed as i'm going to take the k50 to get checked out, i have a feeling it's on the way out. Anyways, do i need to change anything (like the cross member) or does the four speed just bolt straight in? Thanks.

hey guys as the title states will a ke70 diff fit into a rt142 corona which has the solid rear end?

Hi Can anyone tell me how to remove my rear seat squab on my AE82 sedan? There were mice in the car and its the last place to clean!! There are two catches on the floor, but I'll be damned if I can get them to open. I don't want to damage or distort the catches by using excess force. Aghh! Ta, Brett

Have had this theory for a while now.... Most rev-limiters work by cutting power to the coil temporarly. A convention change over relay can be used to 2 main ways: To power something when triggered, or to cut power to something when triggered. This is as simple as wiring the item to be powered to pin 87a rather than 87. So......by doing this you can easily cut the power from your coil when triggered. Next bit is the trigger!!! Many tacho's are avaiable with shift lights, and these can come on at basically any desired RPM. By patching into the wires for the shift light, you can get a your relay trigger at any RPM! This is easy with any conventional 12v bulb, b…

hi I'm having abit of a issue with the timing on my corolla just changed the timing belt but b4 i took it off the crank was at top dead centre but the cam gears were out by 1 tooth and it ran but it ran very rich so i changed the belt and set the cams back to top dead centre now the car will not start and while trying to start it back fires out the exhaust and intake can someone help me its a 20v 4age silvertop

hey all iv recently baught a ke30 for 300 dollars as it didnt run ,but i replaced the fuseable link on the battery and now it runs but it runs rough like its running on 3 cylinders, could it be the carby/ timing needs to be done? i have checked the lead and plugs they all have spark thanks, sam

Ok so dad drove the ke70 to work on monday. As soon as he got it home it stalled itself when idleing. After starting it back up again it idled for a few seconds, then the revs dropped and it almost stalled but then they rise to the normal idle again and it keeps suddenly dropping revs untill it finally stalls itself. I thought there must be some dirt or grit in the idle jet. It was fine in the higher revs and there were no problems when you drive it but as soon as you stop at traffic lights your constantly revving it so it wont stall. I took the carb off yesterday, cleaned it inside and out and cleaned the primary and secondary idle jet. I also took the top off …
