Hey Guy's, Picked up a reconditioned (new bushes etc.) 4K electronic dizzy on eBay the other day for a song ! I'm as happy as a pig in a mud bath ! Question, There are two wires that come out of it into a green plug. Do these normally connect to some other ECU module that Toyota fitted to the 4K engines with electronic dizzys, or is there more switching electronics in under the little black cover inside the dizzy, so that the wires directly connect to +ve 12V & & the coil etc ? I've unfortunately never seen a KE55 with an electronic dizzy setup. My Gregory's 184 manual only describes the points dizzy setup & wiring diagram onl…

hey everybody starting a ke70 4age+t build... couple of things do you need to swap ke70 xmember with a ae71 xmember and i have a 3rib 4a block with the 8flywheel hole crank and from info it has smaller conrod bearings wondering if the main bearings are the same if they are is it possible to fit the bigger crank in. cheers

So I am doing a manual swap into my Ae82 4ALC, I pulled a transmission from an 87 FX16 GTS. I read somewhere they came with a c52, however mine doesnt appear to be a C52 from the pictures I have seen. It only has one "Ear" but looks almost identical to the c52 otherwise. Basically I need to know which CV axles to buy.. Does anyone have an idea of which transmission I may have, or what axles I need? I pulled numbers off the trans case: 61106943 And off the plate on the trans: 1NXAE89G0, followed by 1Z412164 Does anyone know how to decode this business? Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey all, I'm looking at running 258mm rotors with hilux calipers on my ke70, would I be able to fit 13" wheels over this setup? Thanks in advance Corey

Hi, Been looking around now and so far have come up with nothing. What I am searching for is the measurements for RX-7 shock absorbers for series 1. What I am after is: Length compressed: Length uncompressed: OD of insert: thread on end of insert: length of insert body: If anyone knows this info any of it I would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Cameron

I was starting a big cleanup of the many photos scattered around my computer and found this... Now, when the next person strips a gearbox or does a clutch, please take lots of photos (on a real camera, not a blasted useless phone!!) and put up some "How-to" topics... How-to replace the input shaft bearing, How-to change a clutch, How-to replace synchros... If we build up a library of these it will stop a lot of new guys having to ask the whole deal every time. After a few years we should be better than Toyotas workshop manuals! This is Taz's 0.1% !! :yes: Sorry man- I did laugh when I saw it.

Hi, Ill have to psot pics later but I currently have an issue. In my KE15 I HAVE AN EARLY 2 PIN FLYWHEEL (ORIGINAL ke15 ITEM) AND A ORIGINAL ke15 clutch setup. Original KE15 clutch ressure plate has 660Lbs force over a stock KE10/11 one of 600lbs FYI. But heres the problem. I want to run a later 3 pin flywheel. So I need a later 3 pin cluthch cover. Now early K boxes that fit KE1X had less splines on the input shaft and there actual clutch disk has a differentsplines int eh centre. Can I use a early clutch disk in a later clutch pressure plate and flywheel setup? Or will it foul or damage it in ayn way? Is there anyone out there doing this? …

Can someone please tell me which auto box to look for if I want an automatic RWD 4age? Thanks

Hey guys. I have a 5k engine with twin webbers and my car has dropped all the oil ;) the car still starts fine... but what could this be? i hope its nothing to bad, i had just finished everything that needed to be done for getting a RWC and now its broken :dance: does anyone know what may have caused the oil just dumping everywhere? I'm going to go home and check to see if the sump plug decided to run away and not come home

hey guys, another problems.. I'm biulding up my 2tg (first engine build) I'm installing the aux shaft bearings, i know that are number etc. do you put them on the shaft and get them in that way casue thats not working the bearing isnt tight enough on the shaft to tight to get into its position in the block.. hope that makes sense.. any help will be great cheers,

not a toyota corolla, but still a toyota: engine at operating temperature or maybe above, top radiator hose quite hot, bottom radiator hose cold or close to cold. bottom of radiator is also quite cold - engine seems to run hot.... could this indicate blocked cores internally in the radiator?

Hey everyone, i need to replace the rear shocks on my KE70 panelvan. the van is pretty low and wouldn't mind something with a bit more travel and something heavy duty. Are there shocks off another model of car that are a good bolt in choice? cheers for the help rollaclub :jamie:

Hey guys the stock speedo is really quite awful in my ke20 and i want something a little bit more fancy and bright cos i cannot see it at all in the dark... its also out massivly and i never know what speed I'm doing, so I'm thinking of ripping out the old one and putting a new one in it and getting it all re-calibrated. Now the big question is, as these cars are so old would the wiring stop me from putting an aftermarker speedo in?

Hey all just wondering what power outputs have people had going through a T50 and open wheeler T series diff before they ran into issues? or roughly what the limits would be.

Thread contents and title changes as I had Zenki's mixed up with Kouki's. :lolcry: Something I discovered on the weekend and mentioned in my projects thread, thought I might chuck it up here so more people see it. I've had a Zenki T series from a T18 laying around for ages which is planned to go into my turbo car. Finally got around the stripping it down on the weekend for a reco and leaf conversion. As soon as I pulled the axles out I though to myself - "They don't look much bigger at all than a stock KE55 axle". So I thought I'd investigate it further....... So I sat the (Zenki and ke55) axles next to each other. And to be honest if I had to pick one as…

i need to no will a ae71 diff bolt up in a ke70 with out changing anything

I'm trying to set the timing properly on my 4K (not hi cam, KE70 though.) I have had issues with it backfiring into the carby and a lack of power at low RPM. I haven't done it before but I roughly understand the process. Timing light on cylinder 1 (front cyl,) timing should be around 8 deg as indicated with vacuum advance line disconnected from distributor. When I first connected the timing light, it indicated at least 30 degrees!? I loosened the distributor but as I adjust it back towards 8 degrees, the engine starts to hesitate and eventually stalls. Even back near 20 deg, the engine will idle but hesitate badly as I try to free rev it. I have tried adjusting id…

Hey all I'm currently building a road legal weapon, I have a ke30 with a ca18det and 5 speed, about to start doing the xt130 struts and ln106 caliper conversion just wondering if I do the coilovers aswell are they road legal? I come from New Zealand where almost all is legal :abuse: so thought I better find out Before I do them.

Hello all :lol: I recently decided that I might to lower my e12 a little bit to get the wheel arches nicely in line with the wheels and give my car a much better overall presence on the road. I am utterly confused.com by it all though to be honest with you! I understand that I need to buy lowering springs for my car and have already found a tonne of different ones online and quite like the look of some of the 35mm - 40mm ones (don't want to go craaaaaazy!) however my friend said that I may want to look and getting new shock absorbers too as the car will "inevitably bottom out and break the shocks". now I have no clue as to what I should be looking for here?!…

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-MOTOR-4AGZE-...=item27b2663045 I found that motor on e-bay but its 'spun a big end bearing'. I'm wondering if its worth it to buy it, then rebuild it completely (stock), as i can't really afford to buy performance stuff, although it would be worth it, but something i can do later on. Its pretty cheap at the moment but i'd have to take a roadtrip down to NSW (12 hrs). The plan is to put it in my ke-70. I'm wondering if its worth the money to buy it and fix it up or just to buy a working 4age. I don't plan to put the 4age in til tax comes, so no pressure on time (unless it's going to take more than 2 months)

Given the inherent ploblem with the stock Aisan carby's running rich due to the floats, I have decided to go down draft Weber. The question is, which Weber (and jetting) best suits a stock 1.8 3Tc engine. Be mindfull, the aim is maintain factory econmy or better. Sadly performance takes second place... at the moment. :blinks:

hey just curious as to what parts on the AE82 rolla sedan..could fit Wheels - whats sizes can you go up to? by the way my mates just given me 17" rims i doubt they'd fit but its worth a shot bumpers - what bumpers would fit on it?? e.g Ae92 bumper and skirts etc where can i get a AE86 front bumper too interior - what higher model would look good in it and would fit? and door trims what could fit?? and anything else that could look good on it etc plz thanks
