I've got a 13T that I'm going to be putting a 2T-GEU head on. I now have a 2T-GEU EFI setup on it's way to me, and I'm looking at the option of supercharging this setup with an SC12 from a 4A-GZE. Now I know that a 2T-GEU had already been done with this setup, with the standard 2T-GEU computer remapped to suit boost. HOWEVER, I've also read that when creating your own 2T-G EFI setup, 4A-GE ECU's can be used as a cheaper, more accessible option as both engines operate within a similar rev range. What I'm wondering is: would I be better off using the 2T-GEU ECU remapped, or could I use a 4A-GZE ECU which is already setup to recognize boost?

i not sure if i saw a threat on here about different ideas on tail lights, i have tryed searching but can't think of what the thread was called. the thread is from a while ago about using the rx3 style of lights, and light on my query would be greatly appreciated

how do i know this ae86 diff/axle got an LSD in it..?? i know the T-283/285 code.. :yes: but where to look for the the numbers..?? wreckers.. u kno how the situation is.. just a yellow paint mark "AE86".. i know LSD supposed to lock eachother, but the codes determind the LSD type+final drive ratio.. rite..??

Hi, I was just curious does the KE20 under dash tray that fits into a KE20 that goes from the drivers side to the other side for a full shelf. Will it fit a KE1X? Or does the KE2X shelf have say different mounts,length,width etc and wont fit? Cheers Cameorn

i have just been givin a 1987 corolla and aslo a 1988 corona? was just wonder will the corona seats and inside trim fit in the 87 corolla there both 4 door? australia spec corolla and corona. thanks in advance :)

I've had to cut some of the chassis rail out from under the battery tray to address some rust issues (KE25). Any recommendations about welders in Adelaide? Preferably in the Prospect area if possible ... although, realistically, I'll go wherever I need to to get it done. cheers, Slapper

hey people of rolla club, my name is lachlan but every 1 calls me mullet. i have recently purchaced myself a '75 ke35. she has a 4k with a 5 speed manual box. I have noticed when i accelerate that there is a flat spot but only on initial acceleration (low revs). i also seem to be going through a tank of fuel like it is going out of style and the exhaust smells very ritch. i have been told that the flat spot may be being caused by an air leak some where. Any ideas of where or any other reasons i might be encountering a 'flat spot'?? i have tried to adjust my carbie to try and decreese my fuel consumption and to try and minimise the exhaust smell but to no avil…

Hi guys, a penny for your thoughts... My Rolla has a 7K fitted to what I'm assuming to be a standard 5 speed out of a Ke30. Bellhousing is cast onto the body of the box. When I first purchased this vehicle, it was running a 7K flywheel and heavy duty clutch. As I soon discovered, I was breaking a clutch cable on average once a month. This was because the fork had little or no adjustment, due to the fact that the fork was pushed right against the back of the spline due to the height of the 7K clutch and flywheel. I proceeded to change back to the smaller 3K flywheel and standard clutch. Since then the vehicle has considerable vibration on acceleration and decel, most notab…

hey all well my corolla atm has a 3k and i want to get rid of that but i don't know what to go with next 5k or 7k i know the 7k would be more powerful but they are also harder to get and parts are hard to get arnt they :lolcry: the 5k will be more cheaper and less powerful but are parts still hard to get thnaks lukey

I recently brought a worked 4k from a rally car over here in the UK i have va full engine spec which reads very well with some good parts being used. Now i have already modified one 4-2-1 exhaust manifold to fit the KP30 and i'm part was through making a manifold for some bike carbs when i brought this engine. I don't really want to run the twin 40's as it will mean uprighting and that mean quite a bit of work in a KP30. What i'd like to know is this looks to me like a copy of TRD setup and if i were to sell what would the carbs both manifolds and adapter plat be worth? what i really need is a nice corolla to put them on :yes: but over here there ain't …

Hi all, I picked up a ram pod filter the other day and have been pondering how I'm going to squeeze it in to the engine bay. It's a fair sized piece of kit and I don't want it sucking in hot air from under the bonnet, was thinking I might have to run it up from the turbo and out the top of the bonnet and run a small scoop over the top for CAI. Only problem is it's a bit of a sleeper so any scoop would have to be a subtle/low profile design, tho most people would probably think I'm just a retard (read: ricer) with a scoop on a shit box rolla :cool: If the foam filter element is just proud of the bonnet basically inside the scoop is water (rain) going to be a problem…

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…

hello fellow rolla lovers. my names paul and I'm having troble with my 74' ke20. the bonnet is stuck down!, when you pull the lever its just slack as if the cable has snapped. i was wondering is there another way to open the bonnet? thanks. paul

I'm getting a 2tg head revamped atm and the engine guys can shim the valves as the inlet valves are to long and the exhaust are to short. ;) The head is a 261 head and i now need to buy new valves. are the 261 valves the same as the 220 and 222 heads? if not does anybody know the right length for the 261 valves. or where the right ones can be sourced. cheers

Hi everyone. I have a fully rebuilt and mildly worked 4K engine. It has flat top pistons 20thou oversize Custom made billet cam Extensively ported head Pacemaker extractors and all the inside stuff done to it I bought the engine like this and am continuing the project Since owning it ive put a: new fuel pump on dizzy, new points, cap, rotor and polished the dizzy alternator Rockers and other odds and ends.

I'm driving home today in the Camry, and I suddenly notice it's getting pretty hard to change gears. Then I notice that the clutch pedal doesn't come back up anymore. That's strange. Hey look, even with the clutch pedal in the clutch is still engaged. Umm... Anyway, left it in 3rd and just managed to get home, slip the car back into neutral (can't get it into any other gear), cut engine. Had a look underneath, no clutch fluid. Hmm. Popped the bonnet, looked around, can't really see any leaks. Looked in the clutch reservoir, it's a bit low. Topped it up. Pulled the clutch pedal back up and pressed it again, hey it still doesn't come back up? Had a look at…

i was wondering if the gemeni 4 stud pattern was the same as corolla 4x114.3?

Hi just a quicky does the seatbelt buckle bolt on in the ke70? the body itself? the seat itself? the rails of the seat? cheers Daniel.

hey guys, i need to do a U-pull-it run and get some tougher springs but i need to get a spring compressor so i can don't have to buy the whole damn strut and waste my money. anybody know where to pick one up from? i might try just borrow one but if they are easy to pick up or fairly easy to just make as a shotty, one time use thing it would be much appreciated. cheers

is there a AE70 KE70 or TE71 on any games?

Hey, After my missing tools episode last week I decided to splurge and get myself a new tool-kit. The problem is, the place I went to the guys there treated me like an idtiot - and made me uncomfortable by making fun of me when they thought I couldn't hear/see them (fair enough I call it the bendy head socket, I may not know what it's really called, but I do know HOW to use it) but I'm going to be spending a couple of hundred bucks (not there anymore!!!). So I got to thinking what brand of socket sets/tool kits do you guys use? I know Kingchrome make Supertool brand and that my Dad would tell me to Go with Sidchrome. But I do loose bits (because people borro…

Hi, Just out sourcing more info on K motor cyclinder head valve seals. Now we all know the 4K and better valve seals seal a whole world better than K motor seals. So What I am just after is a picture of some 3K old style seals then some newer 4K seals? Or just info on how to install newer style seals into an older head? Cheers Cameron

i'm havin lots of trouble finding info about corona's i just bought an avante with IRS and was hoping somebody would know what parts from other cars fit with little mods, i've heard a little about s13 suspension but there wasnt much detail need help with stiffening up suspension and hopefully finding an lsd/minispool etc. that will fit, any other bits and pieces i can mod/swap from other models would be great! cheers, darryl.

Hey everyone, how much would it cost for a gregorys manual for a ke55? i keep finding them on websites for around 60-80 dollars, theres none on ebay atm, but ive searched and foudn that alot of you on here have them. I'm pretty sure wherever i go they will have to be ordered in, I'm just wanting a heads up so i don't get my pants pulled down over the price. I'm hoping its around 40, same as the manuals they have in stock at supercheap.

Hi, Today I was on the last leg of installing my 5K into the KE15 and the 5K is missing the small bearing that goes into the crank and supports the front of the gearbox input shaft. Now I need this bearing as the weight of the clutch plate makes the input shaft slightly sag and over time this will cause wear and when I engage the clutch it will be off center and make the car run bad. So i am wondering Where can i get a puller to get this bearing out of the crank? As I have a 3K here with a brand NEW bearing and I now want it out of the 3K so I can put it into the 5K. Cheers Cameron P.S. Does anyone know the bearing part number or size eg 608? So I co…

Hey guys, i'm just wondering if a 4AGE 16v water pump will fit onto a 20v FWD. I've heard they're not interchangable. Can anyone suggest where i can find one in Brisbane? Cheers

Hi all. I have a 16 wagon with a completely knackered door seal. I was wondering if anyone has replaced one before and where did they get it from? Or can you dodge up a sedan boot seal (or similar) to do the trick? Cheers, Tom.

Is it true that the 4A-C has a compression ratio of 8.8:1 and if it is what is the easiest and cheapest way to bump up compression, without going down the forced induction route. I realise that this will be illegal on my car as I am on my P's but will the boys in blue be able to tell?

hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows what offsets would fit a ke70? i have bought a set of volks off my mate, both 7's, the back ones fit on nicely and look sweet, but the front tires hit the springs and and wont fit. they are 2 piece however and i was thinking that i could go out and buy just the outer rims with a smaller offset and just slap the centres on the new ones? we emailed the guy at volks to see if this was possible, but he did not know what to do. anyone with suggestions or info, would help me out alot :D thanks heaps, yani

Hey Hey, I have a RT142 Corona, Only had it for 1 month or so and ive noticed the brake pedal is very hard. The brakes don't fade at all and work great but my right leg is getting very buff. Has the booster let go at some stage ? PS: Its an Autogomagic aswell if its of any consilation.

Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum, i have a KE55 coupe with a 2TG celica engine in it. i was just wondering if anyone on this forum may know of how i might be able to convert my engine from CARBI to FUEL INJECTED. if so would it be worth doing or not? any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Ben.

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
