I have a 4age, I believe is a small port with a MAP sensor witch means out of an AE92? It has the typical few leaks, tappet covers, sump etc Been trying to source gaskets and seals for it but am really struggling through the internet and places like repco. Most of all the 4age gaskets and gasket kits listed online and in stores are for cars like aw11 and ae82 witch are big ports (right?). so the basic question is will big port gaskets fit a small port? (apart from the intake manifold I'm guessing). And what other cars where released with my engine of future reference? also any good parts sites where I might be able to get them from? and has anyone else struggled to…

Hey guys, I've been reading a lot of the posts on here and this site has been extremely helpful for me during my build but now I'm in need of some advice. I had a R31 wagon diff housing that I have made custom mounts for and bolted it into my KE70. Fitment wise everything seems okay. The diff housing is pretty bare except for the pinion gear which was already installed. Today I tried to fit a diff centre from a R31 sedan (with a mini spool inside) but after fitting it using the spacers and bearing caps (from the same sedan diff) the diff seizes and will not rotate. If i loosen the bearing cap bolts it reduces tension and with the help of a big lever bar i can get the c…

Hi One of my heater pipes have corroded and leaked coolant allover my carpet At my school, we have oxy torches, can fix it in 2 seconds What is the easiest way to take out the heater in the least steps possible? don't really want to fix it atm because ive disconnected it for now but its really cold in the morning and at work in the evening so i feel i don't have a choice Pic related, my new carpet colour, dunno how to fix this but I'm laying a floor mat over it The offending pipe, this buttmunch ruined mah carpet

Question for you all, My 1984 ke70 is overheating, changed the thermostat... flushed the rad.. did all the common things you would think of but my gut is telling me I need to either replace or recore the rad. Ive been getting quotes an hunting around for a replacement but they are insanely expensive... so heres my question, will like an SR or CA or similar rad bolt on easily? whats my best option here?

I have a 5k rebuilt with 20 over piston and cam grind of 262 in my kp36 pick up daily driver. Those are the only modifications to the engine. the exhaust is two inches from manifold back. Thinking of getting a 32/36 Weber, the question; with this set up is it necessary to put on extractors? I currently have stock intake and exhaust manifold and carby off a 3k. I know that generally cam, carby and extractors go together. I live in Central America and getting extractors is not very easy. Any input.... Thanks

So after years of suffering a bodgey fuel gauge I'm over it. There's an issue with the circuit I believe bug cannot pin point it. It works but only half of what it's supposed to. When the tank is full it reads half. It worked properly for a few days when I had a bad earth connection from the loom to the chassis but my head lights didn't work. Has anyone experienced this phenomenon? Just before I commit to an auto electrician. Also the battery light comes on if I turn on the heater blower. Could these be relAted?

Hey guys I'm currently converting my car from 4ac to ca18 det and need to do a break upgrade I have looked online and can't get a simple answer so what's the easiet front and rear break upgrade and the best value for money

Can any diff with the appropriate ratio be utilised

I've got a strange noise coming from the carby whenever I accelerate. Sounds like a ticking/rumble noise. When I turn off the motor, makes a gargling noise. How much would you guys think ball park wise it would cost to fix something like this? I'm not sure if its much help but I took some video footage. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey guys I'm looking for a lightened flywheel for our track car. By this I mean an original lightened unit, not a standard one that has been machined down. Does anyone know where I can buy one?

Could anyone tell me if the 3VZFE engine used between 92 – 93 in the US is the same engine used in Australia between 95 – 97 I’m looking at buying a complete rebuild kit the price in Australia is three time more than US including import an exchange rate. I cannot get a straight answer from anyone Or does any one know where I can purchase what I need but not marked up 300%

hi dear all i am from sri lanka and currently building a KE25. it was badly corroded and now things are getting into shape. finally it is running but plaged with an idel issue. The carb was rebuilt still the idel issue is there. i am unable to get a decent idel as it keep stalling any help is greatly appreciated

Hey guys, ive had a look around the forum and online and can't really find an answer I removed the ignition barrel just out of curiosity and it cycled though acc-start quite easily.But when i moved the key to the :"lock" position it became fully jammed. No matter how hard i try turn it, it wont move at all and i can't reinstall it unless it's in "ACC". Do you guys have any advice that i can try to get it unstuck? cheers guys

Giday all. On my way out of cebu, back to perth, I went to the middle of hell, the streets of old cebu city, stopped in at all the stores that sell surplus engine parts and found the worlds holy grail of toyota k engine parts. ANGELS SING!! So, when i head back, i will have myself a correct 4K-U cylinder head, with the lugs under 1 and for indicating its for dished 4K-U pistons. FYI, this head was stamped number "1" so our wiki page is incorect. The combustion chamber section of the head is notably smaller in volume than my non twin squish head, designed for flat tops. In photos you cannot really tell, but when its in your hand, u can visually see with depth per…

Hey guys! So while i'm building my 5k, I have gotten to the point of putting the pistons in. I'm using 40 thou over and rings to suit. However, when I compress them with the tool, it doesn't compress right round equally. and so when I try and lighty tap them into the cylinder they instantly bind. Is this a common problem or am I doing something wrong? I've gapped them to their spec. (Everything is well lubed up and this is how I do it at work and no problems) Cheers!

Hello people, On my 5K, am planning to run a cast-iron exhaust manifold with the dual-downpipe exit. This has a 3-bolt attachment, whose flange looks just like the one for a Subaru EJ20 (but I don't know if it is the same). Does anyone have a source for the Toyota flange in stainless? Or has anyone made a drawing pattern of it? Having a hell of a time finding the subaru flange dimensions to compare, or even the toyota gasket dimensions. (My van, but not my actual paint job)

Hi, I have a 5mge toyota cressida engine (rebuilt 2 years ago) and I have issues with the car running learn/pinging. I pulled the spark plugs out and the grounding strap was WHITE AF, lean and overheated. I have since put in 1 colder plugs, but it hasn't done much. The spark plugs are consistent across all 6 cylinders, all white and overheated. This problem is an absolute nightmare, because I have chased every possible thing that could cause it, well, almost. Fortunately I have a tonne of spares, and this efi motor is quiet old so it's very simple. I'm fairly sure its the same bosch ignition system as the early bigport 4ages. The only unique thing…

Ok guys, I know it's useless for some of us, but I was just going through old posts and noticed that some numbers are controversial between us. After checking my Toyota K Repair Manual I need some final factory recommended numbers missing: 1. WATER TEMPERATURE 2. WATER PRESSURE 3. WATER THERMOSTAT OPENING TEMPERATURE 4. OIL TEMPERATURE 5. OIL PRESSURE 6. FUEL PRESSURE 7. FUEL OCTANE

Hi all, I have a 75' corona mark II in the Uk, 18R engine 2L I4 running twin aisan su iso carbs, theyre both in dire need of repairing especially the diaphragm but i appreciate repair kits are a impossible to find, does anyone know where i have a possibility of buying a repair kit or even a new good condition carb? The car is with the mechanic due to idling issues, hes given me a couple days but also given the option of upgrading to SU carbs, but at a cost of 3-5k which is extortionate (may i also add I'm trying to tell the car & losing money even when running properly so if i sell her as a project I'm losing thousands as is) I don&am…

Hi folks, Concerned dad of first-time car-owner son. He just bought a 1998 Toyota Seca 1.6L Automatic in Melbourne. Perfect condition. Saw that the oil was so low when warm it did not even touch the dipstick. Filled it to within specs on the stick (took about 1L). Drove 15 mins to home--car performed well. Checked in the morning. Still low. Added another 0.7L (now about 1.7L added total, maybe 2). Test drove for 3 mins. Noticed gear shifting suddenly irregular and slow. Rechecked oil level. It was now 5cm over the limit on the dipstick!! Drained off 1.5L through the pan and no more oil would come out of the pan. Mystified that the oil was still 5cm over the dipstick limit…

While ive got this camera (ta skids) i thought i'd snap some pics of the red 86 for your viewing displeasure. Front Side Inside my, my what a lovely ECU you have? Discuss.

Just a quickie What do you think you could bore the 4AC 1.6 out to? :D

Hey all Any idea what a 4K-C could safely bore out to? 1.4L? And, If i descided later on down the track to upgrade my carbie, where would i start? - WHat info do i need to know? How do i know whats the best carbie for my car? Etc For example - Nick (Grim) has that webber on his rolla, How did the previous owners know to put that on there - why that 1? Get what I'm on about? Cheers !!! Teddy

I have a question about brakes: I replaced the master cylinder and tried bleeding the brakes. Back brakes fine.....front brakes???....no fluid is coming from the nipples.......not even air! Do you think the master cylinder is clogged? If it is......can anyone tell me how to remove the rear piston and spring from the master cylinder? Thanks guys......I'm sure someone will know.

Hey Guys, I'm new to this forums, i own a ke30 corolla, my one is the one in the public upload, the ke30 2 dr with the L plates on it, I'm no lerner anymore. But anyway, to my question, i hate how sloppy my steering box is, and i cbf getting it replaced, what i wanted to know is, is it possible without toooo much hassle to put a ke70 rack and pinion setup in, what work is involed? thanks.

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 :)

I've managed to find an R31 LSD diff complete for a pretty good price (well I think so anyway), not 100% sure if I'm going to get it yet... Would anyone (Junior?) be able to point me to roughly how much it would cost to shorten? The only quote I've been able to get so far (from a generic diff place) has been closer to $800 which I thought was a bit high (considering Junior set the whole diff up inc new discs, bearings etc for $1000...). Or would anyone be able to hook me up with somewho who would be able to do the shortening / welding of mounts? Any ideas?

just wanted to know how many kilowatts the following engines produce 4age before 1990 4age 1990 and after 4agze 4age 20 valve silver cover 4age 20 valve black cover

Hello I have a question. You know how it is possible to bore out the cylinder displacement - Eg. 1300cc to a 1400cc - well, is possible to bore out the size of the valves? - (and replace with larger valves) Just an idea... (oh and the spelling fairy checker says theres no mistakes :D)

Oh WOW, the handbrake setup that came with my new diff is actually meant to work... http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=1660 Hmm!

The new Redwarf Motorsport soon to be patented, infinitely adjustable heavy duty strut brace. Not for the faint hearted, this will allow strut top camber adjustment hydaulically in just moments! Orders will be taken!

Hey all Well, Ive been thinking again with the motor designs, and i thought of another idea. Now, I'm not sure if its considered a 2 stroke..? (see pic) Anyway! My idea is simply a cylinder, big inlet port & valve on left, and Big exhaust port & valve on right with a big spark plug up the top... (as in pic ) Would this work? would more valves instead of 1 big 1 for each inlet / exhaust? Yes / no ? thanks !

Hey all Just a question about valve springs in K motors, (could be in other motors as well) I have seen some valve springs which look like '2' springs intertwined into one, is this just a cheap way to make valve springs extra strong ? or is there some sort of other explanation for this? Thank you in advance :P Ted

Ok can anybody give me an idea as to why my KE70 keeps telling me its running red hot but when pop bonnet oil is full coolant is full water pump is working brand new thermostat in it new plugs new air filter new brakes. Temp guage running either dead center or up near 3 quraters can't see or find anything wrong plenty of pressure in the radiator damn near copped a face full of coolant opening it when it was a little hot still. Is this normal or not as before hand the temp gauge barely got to the 1 quarter mark i even replaced the heat sender for the damn thing and gauge still sayin its hot but it runs fine no worrys at all i took it to ipswich and back yesterday n…

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? ;)

This is just special :insane: DIY braided brake hose It can only come from Malaysia, really...

Hey My friend has a ke70.. and he wants more power.. he's using the 4k engine, and I've heard 3k heads gives better compression what has to be done to fit the 3k head, and which 3k heads are best, does it matter at all which 3k head we use? I've found a ke30 on a local wrecker here.. with 3k/3k-c(I don't know) :insane:
