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

Hey guys, About 3 weeks ago my daily 4AGE developed a rather loud rattle (almost like a bigend), I 1st looked at the timing belt idler as it sounded like it was coming from the front of the engine but it was fine, I was then told it was a bigend so i did the remove ignition lead test and it was still there, I was then told that it was buckets and shims so i took the cam covers off and had a look and none seemed loose so i just kept driving it until tuesday, When i left work the car was very gutless but i just wanted to get home, 20 mins later driving down the ipswich motorway at goodna the car coffed and farted and lost all power so i pulled over and turned it off, I then…

just wondering how often should one hand crank a motor while its sitting out of a car, and what amouint of oil should be put in while doing it, if it makes a differnece its a sr20, and i know that this is a toyota forum but its going in my ke30, all mounts are done, brakes done and diff installed. cheers

I just pulled my NOISY K60 apart today to find the front main bearing VERY rough and the front countershaft bearing rough and the countershaft galled up. It's an oddball; not like the K50, K51s. The front retainer is different from all the others I've seen, and all the ones in the books. I need another countershaft, and maybe another retainer and input shaft as these are damaged slightly Shipping would be high to the states I imagine, so donations are being accepted.... :wink: Also; if anyone could tell me exactly what a K60 g'box is, please let me know.

hey recently got a mars 180 amp mig gas welder with 8 output steps and 10 wire speed settings, has a 15% duty cycle and will be used for the project car. mainly for welding new sections into the cut out sections of rust, ie floorpan, tunnel, rear quarters, engine bay, guards etc... I'm going to practice a fair bit before doing the car and would like to know : 1) what gas do people recommend? i think the mix of 95% co2 and 5% argon would be good for welding quality and not too expensive, this might be called mig shield from what i have heard. i do have a 2 gauge regulator (pressure and flow? possibly). seems boc and gas places supply bottles on rent and refills. …

The grille, its too long. I can't just bolt up a sway bar because the floor has no threads The factory strut brace, I needed to buy bolts for the fire wall, no thread.

Looking for a LARGE PORT K series manifold gasket. everywhere seems to have the standard small port ones, but they are no good for the twin weber manifold and large port head. does anyone know where i might find one?

posted this on toymods - but I know there are a coupla subscribers who don't necessarily get over there, so I'll post here as well ... Well, the 32DIR on the 4K is haemorrhaging fuel (seemingly) from every available seal and partial orifice after a year of use ... well, there's a nice coating of red fuel and dirt shite all over it ... and I'm suspecting fuel pressure may be the culprit. I'm about to slap a 32/36 on the 4AC and (in addition to fixing the 4K's problem) I don't want the same issues on this one ... I have the stock 4K fuel pump pushing fuel into the weber - I think the toyota pump is in the 7-9 psi region, where as the weber probably wants some…

got told i need a new rack so i got one sitting here out of a 86 and one out of a t18 would either or these work..?

Hi, Well decided last weekend to do a engine swap on my car. I had a tired 4K in my KE30 and decided I wanted to use my rebuilt 5K so did the swap took 1 day and car ran well SHIT. Got around problem with a points dizzy so I could get enough advance on it (electric dizzy only gave 0 degrees TDC at most) and ran carby fuel level up. This all gave an idle of 1000RPM and for 100km trip used 15L of fuel and up high toped out at 5000RPM and top speed of 120km/h b4 car pretty much died. So got car today to a work shop and tested and this is what I got: Car at idle is to lean at a road running well high way motor speed car makes a shit load of un burnt fuel.…

Hay guys I'm a little confused about something! iv got a problem with my 4k it seemed to b running on 3 cylenders any way i checked to comp an cylinders 2,3,4 had 180psi but cylinder 1 only 40psi. So i took the head off thinking it was the gasket cause i also had white crap under my oil cap an stuff. anyway took the head down to my mate to get it shaved to put in back on and he reconds the head and the gasket looked good so he turned th ehead upside down and filled it up with fuel an the valves didnt leak so we filled the cylinders up with fuel to check the rings an cylinder 4 leaked out in about 10 mins and the rest were ok!! so what I'm trying to say is if the rings…

Hey everyone, my car soudns alright drivign around town and stuff, but at 100 on the highway i get a real loud noise, ive been told its wheel bearings, searchedo n ehre and heard wheel bearings or diff. it doesnt seem to fit a bad diff diagnosis. it does sound more like noise from the wheels rolling along, is it due to bad insulation of the cars not blocking out enough noise, or just sum stuffed wheel bearings. autobarn said 40bux a set for front and rear, would that be all id have to buy? or will i need seals and grease and stuff? I'm not to sure what a wheel bearing looks like.

Hi, Got 5K into car today and running thanks to help of trev but it idles fast can't be timed long story there and is a bugger to run. So I am looking into swapping the 5K carbie throats and jets into the 3K one. So I was wondering will they fit and what are the 5K jet sizes and throat diameters. I read the FAQ only has 4 and 3K ones. Also will a 4K points dizzy go into a 5K block? Probably yes. Why u say my electric dizzy don't have time to muck with it so going old school for ease of use for a few months then swapping back to electric dizzy and before you ask keeping the electric dizzy not for sale..lol Cameron

Hi, For my boosted rolla I am going to use a SC14. I bought it off a bloke who was going to use it on his KE55 but decide not to and it is like new and I got it CHEAP as so no loss. BUT I noticed he has put the SU carby mount on well what I believe is the boost out side of the turbo..So my main question is will a supercharger work in reverse? I have add a pic below of the SC14 to show how it has been done. But I will have to change this back to get it on my 5K Can see below the SC14 outlet doesnt even fit on...mm going to need a replacement one or a custom job. Closer view of the outlet: Also does anyone have a picture of the under side of their blow…

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

Hi, The 5K I am about to put in my KE30 that I just bought has had a solid lifter conversion allready done to it (also a full clean up/rebuild). I was told it has solid lifters by guy I bought it off of who had it rebuilt BUT on the head it still retains its original rockers with no adjuster BAD if it has solid lifters This motor is going in my car this Saturday I need it to work I drive 500KM + a week so don't want to kill the 5k on first run due to running 0 to little tappet clearance. So main question is is it possible to tell what lifters the motor has with out relying on the rockers? Can I tell from say looking down the head or removing the sump? …
