Hey guys, ive been trying to get Ke20 struts into my Ke10, ive tried using Ke20 balljoints in the Ke10 control arm, had all that bolted up no worries. Only problem is getting an outer tie rod to fit the Ke20 steering arm. Ive tried putting the whole Ke20 draglink,idler,pitman and tierods in. The drag link and inner tie rods hit the Ke10 crossmember. Only thing I can think to do is use the Ke20 crossmember but how do I mount the radius rod mounts? Ive seen them welded but I'm reluctant to do so because the thing is overrated and nearly 40yrs old. Any help appreciated! Cheers

hey guys i was wondering if any 4k's came out with electronic ignition if so what car were they in??? also what diff ratios would me ke70 5speed have? are there any shorter ratios that will fit in my diff housing??? any one selling 4k extractors please let me know thanks Alex

Ok guys, I got sick of trying to find a decnet set if second hand extractors and decided to get a set from ebay. They were advertised as fitting KE10- KE70 corollas with the 4K-C engine. I don't know about the other cars but the sure don't fit the KE70 and they are a little on the small side. I basically had to cut them off at the collector to get them to fit and fabricate from there on. It is for my weekend fun car so it doesn't really matter in the long run but I thought that I should let you know to stay away from then as you will be wasting $250. Cheers Paul

sorry pleas move to the corect place ;) ok guys as you may know i have resently found chassi rust in my corolla now this thread is just what your thoughts are on my corolla thanks guys . but still will be buying one of theas little buties soon enough and making it a timely rebuild. time 2 say good bye rolla :D. 2 puppy power

Hey Hey, I replaced the leads and plugs on my st141 yesterday afternoon and it ran great apart from flat spots but thats the carby anyway its back to running on 3 cylinders ran on 4 yesterday. I have swapped the plugs and leads around around and 3 isnt working, Had compression yesterday and was even through all cylinders. Its firing but when i take the lead off when its running it makes no difference. So wtf maybe a valve stuck open ?

Hey guys! Some know about my plan to graft a 2T-G into a Ke-35 Coupe ... I have been looking for carbies and manifold to suit. I have discovered a neat little twin carb manifold and twin carbies (they look like side draught with a sliding sleeve device?) off a toyota Corsa. It would seem to be from a 3E motor. I have not been able to glean any more info than that, except that they came off a 1500cc or 1800cc SOHC motor from a jdm corsa. I am wondering if; A) The whole manifold will fit B ) If not A then will the carbies function for my application? Re-Jetting and other standard-type mods are acceptable. Thanks for your, most precious, time!

Does any one have any neat ideas on how to fix cracks in the dash. I don't have the money to replace the whole dash so I need a few ideas. I have considered covering it with a guage but i'm not sure how legal a gauge would be in that area. (the crack is on the passenger side right under the windscreen)

how hard is it to lift the body off the chassis

Hi, After slowly working out how to get my solid lifter to 5K conversion sorted I decided to set my valve tappet clearence to what the K-B motor had which is 0.010mm intake and 0.023mm exhaust. But tonight I flicked through my 4K manual for a KE70 and it runs 0.020mm intake and 0.030 exhaust clearence. So what would be the better one to go with? the tighter K-B ones or the larger 4K ones? Also what is the possible problems I can expect with a gap that is to small or to large? Cheers Cameron

How ya going guys, ive got a 84 rolla S and its been running like dream ever since ive got it a month or 2 ago, now the carbie is playing up. I pull the choke all the way out it turns over alright i give it a bit of time to warm up a bit, then i press the choke in 1 click and the revs flaten out and still runs fine then when it warms up to the 1st marker on the temp guage then i take the choke off and it stalls without a second thought. when i give the car some revs it dosnt stall but as soon as i take my foot off the accelerator it dies so I'm assuming its an idle issue. i checked the coolent, dunno what posessed me to do it and its a milky colour and it smells…

How do I determine what type my car is. The sticker on the engine is half ripped so all it says is 3K... The car is a 74' Coupe Deluxe if that helps... Cheers Tally EDIT: After reading the table on this page I think it might be just a 3K... lol single carb, silly me... http://www.superjamie.net/oldcorollas/engine/blocks.html

Hi, Today I deided to go and get a new pump for my KE15 window washer so I can reinstall the water squirters. But the washer bottle I have for the water and pump, the hole in the bottem where the pump goes in for the water pick up the rubber gromet was perished and leaking and I need a new one. Does anyone know where I can get one? As I went to super cheap and they don't sell any. Cheers Cameron

as i posted somewhere else but thought i should start a new thread, so someone care to eleborate please..? am i right or wrong..? I'm curious for both front and rear, i have coilovers made from a commodore strut (so i can always use a bigger shock if needed) bilstein adjustables and a king coilover spring, are the coilovers being let down cause I'm not brand whoring and going cheap on the spring.. or is a spring jsut a spring? any info would be great thanks.

I was changing the brake pads on the 30 today and broke a locating wire inside the caliper, so off to the wreckers i go. the guy said ther was a ke30 out in the yard so off i went. Went to get the part i needed....DIFFERENT!. I know this is very ignorant of me as i can recall reading several threads on how they were different but i simply never took any notice. Now, as i have a ke10 that needs disc brakes i will put the ke30 ones on it, but are the 55 ones a direct bolt in affair for a ke30?. they look like they are, the only thing that may be different is the brake hoses. Any help would be appreciated. (p.s. sorry to ramble on :P )

Hey My KE25 project has come to a halt today. The engine I got out of an early 72 KE20. I chucked the engine in my KE25 today to find out that it does not fit the KE25 4speed. The bolt spaces are different and don't line up at all. I still have the KE20 gearbox. Would that be the soloution? Would I need to change anything else? eg tailshaft? Link to my thread: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=14164 Cheers Tally

well, i pulled a diff out of a car for someone who wanted it gone assuming it was a standard ke70 diff. but his car was in fact a 4 door te71 from south africa or somewhere, i get the diff home, and its not the same as a ke70 one. i don't need it and curiosity is nagging at me wondering what it is. has drum brakes of 230mm minimum, as opposed to the 202 on a ke70, has an 8 bolt backing plate, and the tag on it says. 9g-2950007 M68 ratio: 4.11 097 58724 cheers, andrew

Hey Guys.. So i ave just finished a 4 month silvertop engine conversion.... i am having some issues. The engine has been completely re built... And it is in an AE82 Rolla CSX the twin cam 16 V came out of it. The 20V ECU is in it, as well as the 20V injectors. Now the Silvertop 20V is rated at (121 kW) at 7800 rpm mine will not rev past 7000 it seems like there is not enough fuel. Do i need to replace the 16 V Fuel Pump? Also the torque is supposed to have 162 N·m at 5200 rpm, The most of my torque seems to come in at 3900 RPM. It is really bothering me. Any thoughts at all...........

As many of you will know, I have a KE55 with a late model 4A-GZE (probably AE101). This runs the standard distributor-less twin coil ignition system, controlled by a Microtech MT8 ECU. Due to some bad wiring issues, one of my coils died, and I need to get a replacement. Unfortunately, these coils seem VERY hard to find. So if I can't get one of the standard ones, I need to know what other coil packs can be used instead. Someone has suggested to me that Commodore coil packs would do the trick, but I want to be certain before I start playing with things. Have any of you had experience with this version of the 4A-GZE and it's ignition system? If so, what coil pa…

Can some body tell me what the proper colour is For a 3K block in a '74 KE20. I have one that is red and one that is aqua?

At the moment I am wanting to shape up the rollaclub FAQ a bit, If you know what upgrading to Sigma control arms in a KE70/AE71/AE86 does and want some credit for your knowledge on the FAQ then please post up what you know here..

hi, just replaced another 4ac, it has a rattle in the head which i belive most probaly is just tappets. i have a reground cam that I'm planning to put in at the same time as i replace the old timing belt (kill 3 birds with one stone). the cam has 290 degrees of duration and extra lift on the exhaust valves and about the same on the intake. i fitted it to an old head to look at the difference in lift. questions: -how do i know if the valve springs bind or what can i do to prevent them from doing so? will the std springs be fine? how likely is it for them to bind without wild amounts of lift although there is noticeably more on the exhaust side than std. …

hey guys i was veiwing some stuff on trade me that I'm intrested in buying, but i can't join for some reason...anyone who can give me a hand in buying something can you please let me know, there is a 4k efi setup conversion thing on there that i want, please let me know guys.. cheers Kyle

When people talk about a wam motor and a hot motor what makes it warm/hot? Also, does anyone have any idea if you can get a strut brace for a ke55? :y:

Hey guy's, I'm 14 and currently in the market for my first car to start building to have something decent by the time i get my L's. I've been steering towards a KE70 as i really like the shape of the car in general and there seem to be alot of modifications out there available for the cars. My main question is, what sort of price will a close to stock KE70 be? I'm not looking at spending a awful lot, just enough to buy me the car with maybe a set of wheels, other than that I'd do the rest myself. I'd preferably look the square front (I'm assuming that's what it is, without the headlights slanting forward?), i prefer them over the other style of KE70. Any help wou…

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if theres any easy way to get the dash pad out of an AE71, i did it in my T-18 once but it required pulling the whole dash out to get to the bolts up the back Any suggestions would be appreciated, just pulling it out to mount an oil pressure light to it for racing Phill

Gaday, I'm thinking of putting sigma control arms in my Ke30 rally car to try and get some camber, and i can't't find any information on how to fit them or how much camber you will get, any help will be greatly appreciated. cheers

Hi all , I was wondering if anyone could tell me : A; if it is possible to paint those little wheels that your fan belts go on, so fan wheels I guess haha. B; if it is possible how do i take them off?? will i lose timing or anything?? Thanks in advance. Jono

Hi all, I've been considering buying one of these for a while: Innovate Motorsports LM-1 Plan is to wack an O2 bung in my exhaust(S), plug it in and take her for a run, dump a map of AF vs RPM, see what I get and tune accordingly. At the moment, the plan is to use it for Dellortos, and a K-Jetronic FI System. I'm keen to do it for the sake of learning and perhaps saving money on tuneups etc! Plus, If I get any good, I can tune other cars as well! Just wondering if anyone else has had tried their hand at this and what sort of fun they had? HAve they tried different units, what sort of setups have they tuned etc. Lend me your knowledge!! Cheers, …

Hey guys, As some will know I've just brought a small port dizzy instead of a big port unit for my 4agte. But I have been tood a couple of times now that the small port dizzy has 4 wires and the big port only 3, but my old dizzy has 4 wires as well. So how many different dizzy's are there, could it be a gze dizzy? Anyway, What I was thinking and I have been searching, was to use the small port dizzy as a CAS and run multiple coil packs. Just wondering whats involved/needed. I'm running an Autronic ecu so that shouldn't be a problem The dizzy has 24+1 teeth like below Any info, ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Dan

sup clan, ive put a 5k into my car and the weber has been rejetted to the engine and its still running rich. so I'm guessing its because of how close the weber is to the engine bay. when the engine was in the last car it ran perfectly. has anyone ever had this problem before. how can i fix it. cheers peace. rawke20

Still new to learning so try not to bite my head off a little lol. Alright I was thinking of a Holley 180 to go onto my 4K. I know it will need an adapter plate and have all that sorted. Though my father thinks that maybe an old Falcon XD? XF? Or something along there era might actually work good too. The weber was used on the 250 Cross-Flow engine that was in the cars. Does anyone know there CFM rate on there carby? I have searched a little on google and couldn't really find the right stuff. Cheers..

Hey guys, Okay before you just shut this down and giggle to yourself, My girlfriend has a Vt acclaim and I'm really keen on fitting the electric seat's to the rolla. I know how bizarre it seem's but I was wondering if anyone know's the rule's and regulation's for these. I have heard that as long as the original rail's fit with no adjustment's then an engineer's certificate isn't needed. Could anyone confirm this please? With this in mind, I would also at the same time like to re-upholster the material on these seat's to suit the interior of my car. I need a very talented upholsterer for this and any help would be muchly apprecia…
