Ok dokie, Just a Quick question to put my mind at easy, I've got a 3k motor here with a blown head, and a rebuilt 4k head also, can i put these two together, aka are these compatable. in order to put together a cheap yet reliable motor, both bottom end and head are in vgc. cheers Chris.

Can anybody tell me anything about the 3k-h?? how was it different to the 3k-c? i have just got another corolla panelvan and it says it has a 3k-h.

Hi all. Can those in the know please share their experiences with swapping out any combination of the 3K, 4K and 5K engines? How noticeable was the upgrade or downgrade? If I hypothetically took out a 3K engine and replaced it with a 5K engine, how much of an upgrade in performance would I get (not looking for horsepower numbers, just noticeable honest feedback). How impressed/disappointed were you with the upgrade/downgrade? Thanks heaps, Paul.

Hey all i just want to no info about the 3kb head like how big in the inlet and outlets are and so on cheers.

hey guys i just got my head of my 3k motor ported and mechined the valves liped and new valve stem seals i just put it all back together and it is running like shit i have done the tappet gap and new oil and i still can hear them really bad the timing isnt goin my way either i set the point and did the timing and it is sounding like I'm running on 3 cylinders it is rough as all hell it has heaps of compression? i just don't understand what is wrong and the temperture is geting in the red but it has new thermo stat? can i please have some advice

Ok, I'm aware some people wont like this. I'm aware dept of transport also wouldnt like this.... But I'm interested anyway. Early 3rz's ran a distributor of sorts, i believe the later ones still have the hole in the head for the dizzy, just blanked off. I'm just wondering whether it would be a massive backwards step performance wise to convert an efi 3rz to carb and dizzy. My reasons are simple, I just really like webers/dellortos :) . They sound hot! By my way of thinking an efi 3rz is a 2.7L four which makes about 150hp (flywheel) at 4500-5000ish rpm. Lots of 2L 4 cyls can make that at high rpm with webers, so I'm guessing the carbs wouldnt know if they happen to b…

hey guys i got a 3s engine in my garage that my bro got off a mate for free and i was wondering has anyone put these in a ke70 or is it the wrong type of motor? i couldnt find anything through the search option maybe i wasnt typing in the right stuff. its got all the wiring and computer and stuff, i kno its out of a front wheel drive but thats not hard to change. so yea any ideas if it would be a good engine to use?

Hey all. I am just starting to rebuild/modify a 4A-GE to put into my AE71 race car as a learning experience, I thought about upgrading the injectors using the ones off the 3S-GE sitting in the backyard which my sister blew up. My 4A-GE is a Blue top, So it has the 182cc injectors (Grey) Which equates to 36.4hp/injector so 145.6hp (91kw) is its max functionality. The 3S-GE injectors are 250cc. So that equates to roughly 50hp/injector so 200hp (125kw) would be their max fuctionality. So these injectors would only be good for under 125kw. I searched the FAQ and it says you can use 7M-GTE injectors as an upgrade (440cc = 352hp(220kw)), Only problem is i don't have…

hey all i've got a ke70 thats in the build atm. I know that a 4age is pretty much a straight swap into a ke (using the crossmembers and all). I was just wondering if it was any harder doing a 3s beams motor and box swap into one? What would i need to get 3s crossmembers to fit in or would need to get some made up. If anyones got any info on this please let me know cheers.

Hi all does anyone no wether the 3sgte cam covers will fit the 3sge ive come across the gte cam covers cheap but the drive to get them is rather long would like to no before i hed out and waste fuel any help appreciated cheers arran

hey all looking at buying a ke70 or ae71 and daily driving it stock for a while but then looking at 3SGE conversion. or is it better to just go with 4AGE? what is involved in the conversion from 4K to 3SGE? mounts/crossmembers etc thanks

Hey all just curious I'm looking at putting a 3sge into my ta22 and adding a turbo my q is has anyone used a 3sge with a large turbo, i know lag will be an issue but will the 3sge still have reasonable pick up till the turbo spools up or should i just get a turbo that spools up straight away, I'm looking around the 225 - 200rwkw mark so if i have a turbo that only spools up later it will be a bit better to handle with every day conditions right?. and i don't want to be running crazy amounts of boost too as it will be a daily. any ideas, suggestions etc will be awesome matt

ive got 3t in my ke20 and the choke isnt hooked up and i need it working cause its a bitch when its cold, i know nothing about this so my mate has offered to have a look but i need to call him and tell him if its a manual or auto choke first, i don't know what to look for so I'm hoping someone on here knows. its got the stock carby. anyone know if its auto or manual??

Help please I have a 3t motor in my KE20 and wish to fit up a pair of twin side draft carburetors . But the side of the manifold hits on the side of the distributor :bash: it is a long runner manifold. Is there a different distributor that I should swap too? I have searched and Google with no luck But I have found that people use a smaller 2T one? Thanks

Hey guys, I'm having some issues with my old girl ( the car... My mums fine) It started a few weeks ago and has gotten progressively worse, I could start the car and drive for a good ten minutes then it would start to die but if I then pulled over it would start again and hold idle but if you reved it, Would be fine then "miss" cough and start to die again, sometimes if you were light with your foot you could recover idle before it died. I used compressed air to blow out the fuel filter that was a little blocked... And noticed the clear plate on the front of the carby that shows fuel level was next to empty.. I then decided to bypass the filter and it's still di…

hay guys just slamed my twin side drafts on friday. its running super duper rich as its jetted for a 2tg my step dad reckons that i should get a real good igntion system to burn all the fuel plus extractors whats your opinion for better ignitions systems ect :wink: cheers matt. p.s can you put a t series twin cam head on a pushrod t series block any possibility with that

ok eventualy ill be getting this car over the pits again for the conversion to be legal. the big black cylinder thing i believe is called a carbon canister thingo ma bobby will i need to keep it with the 3tgte for the pits oh and battery relocation (BOOT) does anyone know if that is allowed and the rules ect cheers matt

hey, I'm a noob on here and i am getting my hands on a 3t-gteu motor ive already got some ideas in mind for what I'm doing to it but has anyone dealt with these before or had problems?? how sturdy are the internals on them?? and how hard are parts to get? thanks

ok the other day i had the metal lid of the stock air filter casing on my 3tc and started the car up ....... It sounded real nice ...... So i was thinking is it possible to remove the whole stock one and wack a small pod filter derectly on the carbie could this work ..................cznt afford webers ect so i wonder if i could do this

hey guys, I'm in the process of building a 3tgte, I've got the 3tgte head, intake and exhaust components, now I'm just wondering is my 3tc block compatible with the head I have? or should I obtain a 3tgte block aswell? the build is going to be extensive eg, valves, pistons, rods etc. any help is greatly appreciated cheers

hey, would anyone know why my auto choke would be making the car rev right up(like 5k+ revs) when its cold. If i hold the little arms/leaver(circle in picture) down to keep the butterfly open it seems to rev alright..... if i don't hold the leaver down the butterfly closes and the car wants to rev out till its warm. i had the carby off the car a while ago while i was doing some work to the motor. not sure if all the hoses are in the correct spots. Cheers Zac

Hey guys i was looking at turboing my 4k when i came accross a 3tc motor from a t18 i think it was would it be better to get one of these and turbo compared to a 4k? What do they go like in a corolla compared to a 4k? thanks

G'day guys Need a rumour dismissed. Apparently a 3tc will drop into a ke20 Crossmemmer on ta22 engine mounts True? Also how's this sit with the firewall and radiator support etc? Cheers ;)

Hey guys i,m new to toyota stuff but am just doing a turbo 3tc into an early corolla wagon and i,m chasing up turbo ex manifold bolt patterns for something thats a bolt on deal. Some guys have said 18rg!!! but others say only the 3tgte is a bolt on t3 turbo manifold. Any input by someone that knows would very greatly appreciated. Cheers Damo

Hi guys, this is my maiden post on rolla club, so i'll start with a short intro.. i'm an r31 enthusiast, also own a '78 mk1 golf and an s13 sivia, and now also a t18 :) from sydney. Question: I recently picked up a 3tc powered t18, and have installed a single side draft manifold and a dellorto dhla 45. There is quite a lot of vacuum garbage that is no longer needed however i would like to retain the vacuum advance. the dellorto does not have vacuum anywhere on it. i have hooked up the brake vacuum to the manifold. am i able to t piece the brake booster vac for the dizzy? or is that a bad idea? can i just tap into one of the manifold runners and run v…

hi all i'm doing a 3t conversion in my ke55 and i was thinking about what i'm going to do in the future and what i will do. i was think of going a 4age and i was wondering what i would have to do. i have made my cross member up to fit a 3t i moved it for woods 30mm and i have done my clutch and i have a t50 box. so what will i have to do to make a 4age to fit

hey does anyone know the torque settings for a 3tc.. if not at least big ends cams and heads... cheers

I have a 3tg engine in my race car and i just run some hose from the front of the head where the thermostat housing is to the rear which is the heater return line port. As i don't run a heater anymore. I was wondering if i can just block of these ports and get ride of the hose? or does water need to run through the head for cooling or something???

From memory someone told me an early celica one will work, has anyone actually done this with a 3T or 2tgeu? cars in at the mechanics and i've gotta source it before they install it..

Hey all i'm in the process of building a 3tgte. I'm still gettin all my parts together and have some queries and genaral questions? any help would be sweet. as follows: 3tgte 88mm forged pistons (yet to order, any thoughts on comp?) Eagle rods 3tc ( not drilling oil holes, anyone done this?) big t3/t4 garrett (.60front t4 and rear .63 t3) 440cc rx7 injectors head work (after parts are sourced) cam regrind (pricing now, what grind?) any thoughts are welcomed!! cheers Connor (ps dunno what car its going into yet... i'm building motor, then gettin a car)

hey dudes ive got a good condition ke35 low kms, dint in the drivers door, stock everything and looks good. problem is i found a 3tgte, t50 and 9" to drop in it. all seems easy enough, ive got a t28bb for it manifold almost complete, got the engine crossmember sorted and gearbox crossmember sorted, diffs complete and shortened to suit corolla, got bigger brakes and shocks in the front already, motor and box sitting in. Now i need to change my brake master to stop fouling on the manifold, got one sitting here, drill holesaw into firewall for hydraulic clutch setup, pedal already modified, wiring complete just pretty much plug in looms and sort out a few loose bits. al…

Hi would someone have an answer, Iv asked every where no on seem to be able to answer. Is the 3VZFE engine used between 1992 and 1993 in America the same as the Australian version between 1992 to 1996. Thank you.

hey guys, I'm new on here and i have just purchased my first ke70.... i may have some weird questions so i apologize in advance.... My first question is about a 3Y engine into a ke70.... has anyone attempted it? .... looking for a 3Y now and would love to be able to speak with someone who has done it. Also can anyone inform me if their selling a manual gearbox or one that suits a 3Y or where i can get a belhousing that will fit the standard manual with the 3Y engine... Any other general upgrades i can do besides s13 tie rod ends, coilovers, s13 control arms etc....... sorry if i have caused a headache for anyone.. i know theyre probably obvio…

Hi Everyone! My friend owns a Daihatsu Rocky with the Toyota 3Y motor and a couple of days ago it was driven through a puddle just under a metre deep (would have only been touching sump area, though) and ever since it has lost all of it's torque and pulling power. It will rev up fine, although backfires a little bit when it's decelerating. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this? My friend claims to have cleaned under and around the dizzy cap! Cheers

hey guys I'm looking to buy a 4age but not sure if big port or small port it is out of a late ae92 with silver cam covers and black writing please help so i can choose thanks michael

Hey guys, i need some help on this one. I'm getting a 5 speed gearbox soon for my manual KE70 conversion and the only tailshaft i can get hold of came off a 4 speed box(the diff is a borgwarner). What id like to know is will that 4 speed tailshaft bolt up to my 5 speed box?? Any info is much appreciated...

i went down the wreckers today. NO ke70 5 speeds and found nothing but 2 ke55 4 speeds. QUESTION, will a 4 speed out of a ke55 line straight up to my ke55 auto without modification??? and manual cross member out the donor will bolt in?? and shifter will line up???? thanks in advance Evan

Can someone tell me if it is possible to convert a ae82 '88 rolla sedan to 4 wheel disk brakes? Already has front disks, so I was wondering if the rear can be converted to disk.........if so where can I find calipers, disks, etc.... and will it help improve braking any? Thanks, Cameron.
