I'm planning to buy a 2T-B and a T50 gearbox for my ke70 I also have a 4A-GE in my garage I'm not using, but I don't have the engine mounts and I don't want to use EFI.. ( to much work to change ) Does the 2T-B exhaust manifold mount on my 4A-GE without much work? and can I use the carburettors/ inlet manifold from the 2T-B on my 4A-GE? and the engine mounts, hard to make? can I use the 4k engine mounts if I modified them some? someone have any ideas what I should do? ;) PS: does anyone wanna sell their mikuni - solex carburettors with 4A inlet manifold? and some engine mounts? ;)

Hi all. Have been trying to find this information myself, been looking through faq and other places. I am putting AE86 front struts and some other 86 suspension gear into the front of my KE70 Pano. The only thing I need to get now is springs, I want to keep it Stock height, it sounds strange but the stock height suits me perfect for what I use it for. I can't find the stock front spring heights for both AE86 and KE70 to compare, they have a difference king spring part number so I can see the car will either be higher or lower so if anyone has the measurements that would be great.

I'm trying to suss out a brake setup for the ke25 and would be grateful if someone could try their ke70 boosterless (ie pull off hose for a min) and drive around on some open deserted road or open carpark braking a couple of times under different speeds - in an open area with no cars or walls of course. if it really is hard pressing on the pedal and the brakes hardly work then I'm probably going to have to get a remote booster which isnt going to be too much fun. however if its only a bit more force on the pedal and the brakes pull up the same then i should be okay.

hey guys, recently return the stock carby to my 4k, it had a weber, everythings hooked with imissions gear, turn over but wont start? Any help would be much appreciated

Hey guys i just changed my clutch in my ke70 and now the thing wont start, it cranks and keeps cranking but nothing at all, its getting fuel to the carby i can see that, there is oil in the spark plug well number 3 but i took the first spark plug out and tried to see if it was sparking but didnt seam to be, any ideas what this could be, and why is there oil in the spark plug wells

Hi I'm a "newbie" to the forums but have had many different cars from commonwhores, to skylines, and a few corollas. I know my way around an engine and can normally diagnose problems i have had until i came across the ke from hell. Picked it up merely as a thrash around car because i own some land, fully serviced it, top to bottom from dizzy cap, leads, gaskets, oils, you name it, Ran like a gem and loved life. One day it wasn't starting, just clicking and not going nothing, (starter motor, i know) got over this by turning the key on and off until it went. Now i have nothing. No dash lights, no "door open" light, no clicks, nothing but headlights with no dash ill…

Just bought KE70 with 4K engine. Faces some problem and need some one to advise ??????? 1)Fuel gauge going ding dong. When car not moving & fuel is full - OK, the problem happened when the car start moving, the gauge will indicate empty fuel. 2)Body shaking at speed of 80km/h and above. 3)Fuel consumtion -300km vs 35 littre :)

gidday anyone got any info on the ke70/ae71 diffs, the ratios they come in, or what can go into them? cheers,

hey hey, i know some one will ask eventually how to remove the pedal box so I'm going to write up a how to guide. Tools needed a decent socket set with metric sockets and spanners, Philips screw drivers and flat blade screw drivers and alot of patience. First off remove your steering wheel. You will need to remove the screws under and around the gauge cluster, the screws hold in the black plastic surround. Once that has been removed unscrew the 4 screws that hold in the gauge cluster and it will come out and remove all the plugs. Remove all the circled bolts and nuts. the two bolts along the top need to be removed the whole way along the dash pad. …

Hey guys. I'm looking at upgrading my suspensionin my 71. But i can't find what parts i could use from other toyota cars setting up for mainly trackwork, after more camber and a stiiffer ride. Just entry level setup. Is it sigma control arms, ra40 steering arms, xt130 corona struts that can be used and what mods are needed to make them work. And what are some good brake upgrades as well.

Hey everyone, my wagon is now built and on the road, it goes well other than a few teething problems. the next big task is tuning the suspension as it currently handles like a boat. I have done some research but i am new to this so i am a little unsure on what to buy. i read in an earlier post in the AE discussion which provided some good info but its about a sedan. i have a new set of munroe GT gas shocks and 3cm lowerd king springs in the front but i will replace them all if a new set up is needed. If someone could reccomend a shop in ipswich or brisbane who is good with corollas that would be great. and any other advice you might have about my suspension would be appre…

Hey does any one know the kw/hp of ke70 and or ae71 rear wheels or engine power?

is it a simple job of converting the ke71 to a ke70 by just replacing the panels, head lights and grill, or is there more involved structurely? Also who wants ke71 cloth seats front and rear???

My heap of junk suzuki appears to be losing spark to ground inside the distributor cap intermittantly. I think it has been doing this for some time, you drive it, and every so often it misses a beat, or has a "hiccup". It deteriorated badly on the weekend, and the problem was traced to an open circuit high tension lead. The high tension leads are less than 2 years and 20,000km old! Anyway, the rest of the leads appear ok with a resistance of 1.5k ohms to 3.0k ohms, and I have now replaced the lead with a bright red new one.... when the lead died, the spark for that cylinder was jumping to ground on the distributor body. I have replaced the distributor cap (twice now) …

Hi, Chassing info for KE/KP/early small Toyota front strut top hat stud pattern.

I know i could just search the net, but you guys hold to much valuable info... What would be the best modifications to do to a 4age??? Turbo & N/A..... :D

yeh can king spring handle going sideways in a t18 ??? :hmm:

Hey, I know it's not a corolla, but I didnt know where else to ask. I just bought a km20 liteace commercial van (4k motor) and it's geared mega low for moving heavy stuff at town speeds. I believe the 5 and 7 seater versions were geared higher to drive more like a normal car. I figure the diff is what I need, but to correct the speedo, is the speedo drive at the gearbox different? Or is the calibration of the speedo itself different? Also, where can I find information on the gearbox and diff? I'd like to find out what options there were for gear ratios and what vehicle each ratio was in. I think the diff is the same as some other cars? Is there such thing as…

Hey guys, working on and been around a couple KM36's. My question is what family gearbox do they run? I know 7K-x's run a W56. The boxes are an external linkage unlike all other toyota (passenger car) boxes I've seen. (due to column shift) They have a removable bellhousing, am wondering if it could be mated up to a stronger box? CHEERS Ryan

Hey guys, i have a really bad knocking noise coming from the front of my car, I'm thinking it could be the steering rack? any ideas? is this a common issue?

hey all Mate and i where thinking if any cars where produced with a small capacity v8, sort of around 3 litres After one for a project but a 1uz isnt an option if anything springs to mind, don't hesitate to say so thanks :)

Does any one know if these Konig Rewinds for an AE86 would fit my AE71? any help would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, I need to know whether a ke20 balljoint is the same taper as a kp61 balljoint? I assume they'd have different part numbers regardless so that's no help Or even if Kp60 is the same as ke70? Then i can compare between those? Cheers

Dear Friends, Any body have KR42 and CR41 Service manual and Electrical manuals.If you have send to my e mail [email protected] Thank you

Hi All, Wondering if anyone has used KYB sierra short strokes in their KE70 - seems that people use the sierra fronts in the rear??? Are they good? Also - does anyone have the part number for these?? Thanks Chris

hey i was just wondering if the carby off my 84 Bluebird would be a good step from my stock carby on my Ke55? Will it work or is it 2 big?

Hey jst wondering if anyone has something they would like drawn up into a DXF file. I've procurred Turbo CAD and i've so far designed an inlet manifold flanges and the first half of a bellhousing adaptor. i am wanting to try a few more things out. let me know! cheers, Luc

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…

Hey guys... I have a late model ke70 wagon and am converting the struts to coilovers.... my question is if i buy a ae86 strut insert/shock and shorten my strut tubes are these going to work for me...

Looking for a place to reset + add leaf to my Panno. Anyone know or recommend somewhere on the Gold Coast?

Hey guys I currently have a very weird issue in my MS47 Crown. 2 Weeks ago I jacked up the backend and removed the tail shaft to get rebuilt, the chassis has been sitting on stands for a couple weeks with the diff hanging down as per normal. I got my tailshaft back today, it was retube'd and balanced. Sat the car back on the ground and for some reason the back end is sitting literately 3 off inches higher than previous. How on earth does this happen? I've taken it for a drive, everything looks and feels normal, shocks are not locked or anything silly, why would it be sitting much higher?

ok just wondering if you can have a sway bar with leaf suspension and if you can how does it work? pics would be helpful cheers, lloyd

Hey hey, all you insane Corolla gurus out there. Should I go cheapo and fit wagon springs from the wreckers to stiffen my KE30's behind? Would it make an appreciable difference? I'm just assuming they would fit. Or should I get Redcliff Springs and Suspension to reset them plus 1 leaf for what is admittedly a very reasonable price?

Sup. I have been blessed with an almost rust free shell, my engine bay managed to soak up all the rust... I have been attempting to start the repairs my cleaning out my cooling system however, shortly after I changed over my radiator it sprung a leak. All my hoses and everything aren't leaking and it's a bit of a bugger to trace back. I'll bang up some photos and if you could give me a hand identifying/tracing back the leak. Having no actual cooling problems while driving, engine is still strong and stays cool. It's dumping a considerable amount of water/coolant even though it's just a consistent drip. There is no leak when the car is off, only when th…

Got a 4age 16v, and my dizzy is leaking, have taken off cap n changed the rings as I thought that was the only problem but its not, what else could it possibly be, cause thinkin of just gettin another one but if its simple i don't wana spend the money just yet.
