so we don't clog up someone elses thread is this achievable, before you laugh have a think and come up with a thought on how to make this possible, My thoughts, TO4Z garrett mechanical fuel injection nitro methane for fuel 35% fuel to air mixture 18/1 compression ratio cams, valves, springs, ports, pistons, rods, crank, to allow for about 20000rpm i think you would need about 350kw flywheel to achieve this possible or not?

replaced the rear shocks on my ke35 corolla. noticed while car jacked up, with handbrake up fully on i could freely move rear side drivers wheel..... i could also remove the drum with handbrake on. i take it i need to adjust the drum shoes?

If decided to bike carb my 4k because at the end of the day its just a ke70 if I wanted power I would of got a different car with a quick motor not relying on a motor swap. So just asking people who have done it before what do I need? What carbs should I get? Seen r1 used alot I can get a custom manifold made for super cheap. Will my accelerator cable work or will it have to be custom or something? Cheers in advance

Hey guys thought I might as well add to this thread with some info on fitting a W50 to a K motor. See page 3 for installation info. :jamie: any body recognise that gear box bolt pattern?? Bell housing is apparently out of one of those K utes (republica).

Read this right through so you know you have the tools to do it before you start! Bits of pipe, grease gun, a solid hammer....! This is a straightforward job, well technically straightforward and simpler than changing a distributor, but it does need some mechanical hammer work! A side takes about 1-1.5hrs without hurrying. I did one a day, no rush. First, buy two to these. Mine were for my Corona LCAs, I don't know if the KE70 etc are identical, but this part number fits Corona, Celica, & KE Corollas in theory. Get organised- I have a floodlight, several square of carpet to sit on, and I keep the tool box nearby. I get out the tool I want, use it, then p…

Hey, I went to start my engine for the first time today and i can't get fuel to the carby. Its a 32/36, i can't even get fuel to the filter. Whats the problem with it? Help will be appreciated. Mitch. PS i checked the forum already and couldnt find anything

this is a general guide for corollas, i don't have much experience with earlier pre ke70's so information may or may not be compatible with your model. you can always have a look at your steering system to see if its the same as mentioned in this artical. **disclaimer i and rollaclub do not take any responsibility for defects, failures etc. some modifications maybe illegal for street use and care should always be taken when working on steering systems.** ae86 -ae86 powersteering arms/knuckles -lock spacer ke70/ae71 -ae86 powersteering arms/knuckles (use with t-18/ae86 strut upgrade) -lock spacer -sprinter rack t-18 -ae86 powersteering arms (provides …

Hi everybody, i am very new to this forum stuff, so please help me out along the way. I have a 1991 toyota corolla hatch AE94. The engine for my car is a 4A-FE. The problem is I'm starting to get a little bored smile.gif so i would like to know how to increase the power of my car, even if its just a little. Hopefully getting the extra power with out putting a new engine (e.g. 4A-GE) or a turbo set up in my car. I am very happy with my car, just want a little more power. I don't have very deep pocket either sad.gif still a student and work part time. All your input will be very appreciated. thank

Hi, Have a "semi-mystery" Diff on my bench in the work shop and I need to know how to measure it so I can narrow down exact model what it will fit etc. Also if possible can some members measure the diameter of the splines on a KE3X and newer diff and a KE2X and KE1X diff and count the splines? I have no spare axles out atm. Cheers Cameron

ive got a 4age bluetop converted from fwd to rwd in my ke35. I'm using an ae86 ECU and also an ae86 loom and need to get some fault codes out. how do i go about this? ive been told you can't get fault codes with an ae86 loom...is this true? if not, what do i have to do to get them???!?

I'm looking to have my distributor re-curved. It's a stock 4KC dizzy in good working order. Engine currently features a Weber 38/38, carb base plate port matched for carb adapters and intake manifold carb opening. The dizzy is electronic but features a vacuum advance and retard. I am using the big port intake manifold--it's been cleaned up on both ends. I am also using a set of extractors. As it's sit now--is it worth it to re-curve the dizzy's timing advance? When I add my performance camshaft and reworked cylinder head? I'm still under the assumption that Toyota ignition systems work just fine for most application. So, it seems like just re-curvi…

Hey all Well, now I'm thinking on the lines of Cams ! when u say (from nicks car) - 42/88 what is what... is the 42 like the time it opens, and the 88 is the closing time?

Hey all, Basically i need someone to right out a long instructional thing telling me step by step how to replace the CV joint on a Toyota Levin AE101, 4A-GE with SSS. Ta, gremlin

what should i be using to stick some black shopping trolly strips onto my car? and any tips when installing them?

Hey. Is there anyway you can stop petrol splashing out of the feul tank. The KE70s don't have a valve to prevent splashback around the feul tank thing. I just did a bit of work removing the rust and getting it looking nice and was wondering if there was a way to stop it from happening again. Eg installing the valve. Thanks.

hey guys, i want to find out what the cam in my 5k that i blew up on friday is... I'm kind of convinced by it shitting another (practically new) lifter before i blew it up, that it might be a solid cam, and if so I'm gonna stick the f@$ker in my 4K. which is horridly slow after the high comp, cammed 5k :laff: whats the best way to tell, or if you can't just measure it, who do i take it to (prefer northside brisbane) to get it measured up. cheers kents :lolcry: Luke/ella/kent

How the fark do i turn the rear housing around on a t25 and a t28?

My Dear Friends, I found my engine rod bearings caps worn and need to replace. Engine is in good condition and no need to use repair version of bearing caps. So I am going to replace existing rod bearing caps with standard ones. But I have one problem. Toyota has produced three standard rod bearing caps as marked 1,2 and 3. Each type is different from few micrometers. So we need to replace old bearing cap with new one which should be always similar to the old one number. Toyota has discontinued them producing. Third party manufacturers (like TAIHO) only produce one standard type and they do not have 1,2 and 3 as such. Will I be able to use this third party bearing …

I brought a rev tacho and have no idea how to wire it upto my ke30 corolla help or a wiring diagram would help heaps

hey CAn someone please let me know how i can get my 84 corolla (ke70) to go faster, heaps faster.

For some reason there are two threads, can one of the mods delete this one? Hey RC, So I bought a new coilover kit from T3. They're all new and shiny, and I want them to stay that way, plus keep dust and crap away from the dampers. So I made these: I know coilover covers can be bought, but I couldn't find any in the right size, and most of them were pretty pricey anyway. These cost me $18 each to make, and here's what I used to make them: 1 x meters of the heaviest canvas I could find (bought too much) 1 x meters of Velco strips 2 x meters of cord(more would have been better) And here's what I used to make them: 1 x fabric scissors 1 x ruler/…

Currently revising these, will update this soon.

Guys, Having this terrible squeaking sound coming from my boot. 1981 Corolla KE70. Think its the bar that holds the boot up. Whenever I drive, small movements of the car will cause it to squeak. My whole journey is filled with squeaking. Anyone encountered this before? Need some help before I break that bar. So what if it doesn't hold the boot up. Help! Just need it to stop squeaking!!! Thanks guys! :y:

I've looked everywhere for a lowering block kit to suit my KE70 Panelvan for a temporary solution until I get my springs reset. Autobahn and Repco told me to hit the road. Cheapa Auto Spares said that they have a kit but it looks like it's for a Hilux (I imagine the early model "Lo-Lux") or something similar. I'm going to measure up my axle tube and stuff tomorrow and check it out, but I was just wondering if someone had already been through this process? Will the guiding pins and U bolts still be alright? Is there a kit not made for KE that still bolts up? Oh, and if you have a kit for KE on the gold coast, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, I recently bought a brake/strut upgrade for my KE30 (the hilux/peugot/corona one) which has 5 stud hubs bolted onto the peugot discs. I asked the seller about them and he told me two different things. First he said they are mx63 hubs, and he told me they are expensive and rare. Second he told me they are ms65 hubs. The disc has been modified to fit them. Can anyone tell me how to identify them, or can anyone identify them from the pictures below? I'm after 4 x 114.3 stud pattern, so which hubs can I use for this upgrade? I assume Corona, but does anyone know which model? http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w240/re...ar/IMG_1456.jpg http://i177.photobu…

Hey guys just after your opinion On the weekend I thought I would have a look at my carby as it won't open the secondaries and always idles high so I had a look to make sure all the vac lines were on and had a play with the levers and things to see if maybe anything was seized or loose couldn't find anything wrong Now it started running better after I played with the levers and things and idled at a normal rev so I was happy then on my way home from work it started playing up a lil bit then I it's started idleing high again and then all the sudden just dies and other times it just looses acceleration This would be meaning the carbys shagged and needs to be replaced …

as stated in theory this should work aye pedal box supposed pushrod end! were supposed push rod end will bolt up so theoretically this should work if i drill a hole around this^^^ area and space out the said pushrod part to clear the brake booster???

i have a hydraulic clutch system where the pedal feels spongy, doesn't return fully all the time, and even stays depressed when you take your foot off. when the pedal stays depressed the clutch is not disengaged (ie it is connected to the engine). I cannot gain access to the slave cylinder as it is inside the bellhousing and not visible, however the fluid level is good, it doesn't appear to be leaking any fluid, there is no sign of any fluid at the master cylinder, and I have bled the system quite thoroughly. I'm seeking to diagnose whether this is the master or slave cylinder that is the issue - before I remove the gearbox or anything overly enthusiastic. I was w…

hey guys, well last night while i was out partying in the dark dad decided to go get some maccas, goin there the road under the bridge was flooded, but this usually isnt very deep, so through he goes, and half way across he says it stopped. long story short i asked him how high the water was and he says, ooh lapping up around the bonnet...."did you think of that cold air intake dad?" :) so this mornin he went down took the plugs out and turned her over pissing water all out of it, but she still wont start were assuming its left over water in the cylinders and intake wetting the spark so she wont start.... how do we fix this problem? how do we get her started again? …
