I am currently running a 2 inch su of a rover that i hae fully rebuilt to go on my supercharged 4k. The setup as it currently sits is.. 2 inch SU carby SC12 toyota supercharger locked electronic dizzy basically stock internals apart from full rebuild with a cam and double valve springs Now the problem that i have is the piston in the SU will not open up enough to allow more fuel to pass into the carby. I have replaced the needle in the carby with one which i bought from a carby specialist who has tuned a couple of similar setups on corolla's and datsun's. Some were turbo and some supercharged but all ran an su of some descript and he ran this…

Hey, got this SU carb setup and was wondering if anybody could help identify the exact motor/s it suits. It is a Lynx Corona manifold which I've had for 12 years or so now. Came from the brother-in-law who had an RT40 corona. 2R? 5R?

hi guys, look, i know this is a corolla forum but i'm sure people here could tell me a good place for me to service new ride :y: which is an '86 toyota celica st162. i've been looking for a corolla coupe in melb. area but i found no luck on getting it, so i got myself a celica instead. now, this car has some problems on the engine, which is a 3s-ge with 5-speed manual transmission. the car seems to be choked (?) when i hit the gas. it happens on low rpm like 1-3 rpm. so i'm thinking of servicing the car. as i don't want to get ripped off from the mechanics (i just got to australia like 3 months ago and i haven't go to a mechanic before) i need some suggestions on…

Hey guys I'm new to this forum..and need some help I'm here open for any ideas on what i should do, i currently have my hands on a 78 corolla coupe its immac the only thing is power wise... with a 3k motor 4speed box.. ive decided on a full engine change, i know i want to go bigger just not sure what will fit, i like the sound of a twin cam motor but not sure if they are a good fit..can ne1 help? what do u guys reccomend thanks...but i don't wanna spend stupid amounts of money on it though... I'm open for any suggestions .....as I'm goin to make this corolla tuff.. cheers adz

hay guys can't find any info So I'm wandering what the best turbo would be for a suck thru setup on my 3tc I'm wanting to have a medium sized turbo that will start spooling around 3500 rpm and it wil be combined with some brd forged low compression pistons 6:1 compresion ratio or maybe 7:1 and want to be running 10 to 15 psi of boost what would you guys sugest

Gday all. I spent a bit of time yesterday rooting around putting a sump baffle in my 5K sump, after reading a post about oil starvation issues. Mine's fairly crude, I got inspiration from the LS1 aftermarket sumps down at the local speed shop. I was originally going to run a vertical one halfway down the sloped face of the pan, but this one was easier to braze in. It's got a narrow gap underneath at the back, so oil will still flow through, It's just to slow the oil down as you accelerate. After all it's not a racecar Anyone else tried it with a K series sump? You'll notice I had a bit of trial and error notching the front of the baffle to fit the oil…

Hey guys does anyone know the size of the screws for the sunviser's and also the rear view mirror, i need to buy some :lol: and i have no idea, unless i buy a multi pack hahaha

has anyone ever seen a sunroof in a ke70 at all? becuase the ke70 ive got has one in it. oval in shape and I'm not sure if its stock or someone has decided to put it in.

hey I'm afta a super charger to suit a 4k corolla does anyone have one for sale or no anyone that wants to sell one?? also information on what is required to fit one would be handy!! cheers johnny

Hi, I'm just wanting information on the super charges that were straped to the 4agze motor or any other toyota super charger. The purpose is that I need about 200 CFM at about 1-2 PSI to start my jet engine minimum. I have researched some SC and found they will do this easily but I want something compact so I instantly though about the toyota one. So if anyone can shed some light on how much air one of these babies can push what is the max pressure etc it would be much appreciated. Thanks Cameron

hay guys been doing great amounts of thinking of were to go with forced induction on my 3tc how to do it whats the simplest cheapest way ect

hey guys, i am looking at supercharging my worked 5k witch is currently in a kp starlet (i no this is a rolla site but the motors are the same biggrin.gif) a mate of mine has done it to 1 of his 4k's. but whati want to do is, will i be better off running a webber carb and jett it to work as a blowthrough setup, or go for a set of 35mm sideys and make up a custon intake plenum attached to them. the charger is going to be a toyota sc12 or sc14 and is going to be intercooled via a factory S14 silvia 'cooler. i no i am going to have to get a new cam for the motor as the one in it at the moment is just far far to aggressive (will bearly idel it so lumpy but i just lov…

Hey all just wondering if anyone can help me with my pickle? Was wondering if anyone had any supercharge mounts or now of where i can get some from or best things to use etc etc?

I'm looking at supercharging the rolla but the Q is AMR 300, AMR 500, Sc12 or Sc14 5K Ke20, does anyone have any experience with any of these and what do you think is the best one to use, keeping in mind I need to be able to drive it every day on pulp, any input is appreciated :dance: :lmao: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Has any one sucessfully supergharged a 4A-C. I was just curious as I am interested in seeing any resenable performance gians. I think supergharging is a great alternative to stand out of the crowd. I am also interested in 4A-C tuning as it seems not many people are into tuning them, they usually just drop in a 4A-GE.

Hey guys and girls. just wondering if anyone could tell me wether a sc12 charger from a 4age can be used on a twin carbed 4k?? they goin pretty cheap at the mo and I'm keen to get one if so, could someone please tell me how it is done and even better show pictures of people who have done it??? thanks guys. Jono

hey guys i have a ke70 corolla with a 4k-c engine and i also have a toyota supercharger i am looking at puting on it, not sure what the super charger is off but looks bigger than a 4agze one, what power could i expect to make with it on the 4k? thanks for any help, will do a build thread once work is underway

Hi guys, Recently I have Fitted a supercharger to my EFI 5k. The supercharger is an AMR500 with a 70mm charger pulley and a 100mm crank pulley. My first question is about the calculator used in the FAQ/WIKI section relating to the calculation of boost. Has anyone used the calculation and had a correct answer from it? From my initial calculations the answer came out to be a negative boost number because my pulley ratio is too low according to the calculator. From memory my calculation was -0.9psi. So for shits and giggles I decided to whack it on anyway to get the ball rolling on the project and then find a bigger pulley later. To my surprise the supercharger a…

Hey guys, as most of you know I have recently completed a changeover to EFI. The only failure was to have ignition control. Thus I have not attached my supercharger fearing I would blow the motor without adequate ignition timing. So my question is, what is safe timing for something like 5psi??? Do I really need to worry for something so mild?? As far as I know the 5k electronic dizzy has little advance in it anyway. Would it be safe to supercharge in my situation without changing ignition timing?

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?

:D ok according to super cheap auto 1.8l 3tc isnt real and toyota didnt bring out any 1.8l engines untill the 90s wtf people whats going on in this world btw i was needing sparkplugs

Hey guys. Pretty excited... went down to Bob Janes to see what wheels they had as I've been wanting to get wider ones.. I looked through the rims they have and they're all not really suited to corollas... also, when the guy saw my car he realised that all the wheels we'd discussed wouldn't fit because it's a RWD KE70. As it turns out, a guy had ordered superlites and never picked them up... and they fit perfectly on my rolla. They look so friggon awesome too... not fancy, just simple and look SO good. I can't remember the exact specs of them but they're 15". I've already put a deposit on them (superlites and some nice chunky new tyres) for $600... and the total cost is $1…

Yo all. Building me up a straight ghetto AE71 for 90% daily work, 10% possible drifting practice. So in this case, i have a few questions in regards to surge tanks. - Does the AE71 standard fuel tank have no baffling as standard, designating the need for an external fuel pump + surge tank setup? - If i was to place the surge tank in the boot, is it ill-advised to have my battery relocated to the boot as well? A hypothetical situation i was thinking was spark from battery into enclosed space of boot + petrol vapour = bang. - If that is not / should not be a problem, are there legality concerns in regards to the above setup on the street? Would this the…

hey guys just wanting to know a few things I'm not very good with cars, my ae71 atm has chopped falcon springs rear and king lows in the front rides fine but i keep seeing different opinions from people...basically i see sigma lcas that people use just wondering what you guys have as your front suspension and arms and that jazz and different opinions as I'm a noob to this cheers

hey all, i'm looking at getting some coilovers for my ae82. and was wondering if there was any change from the ae86 at all. It works out cheaper if ae86 coilovers fit on a ae82. cheers

Hey guys I own a 1984 corona and I was planing to sorta turn it into a rally car. The first step I was was going to get it higher off the ground. The logical thing in my eyes was to get suspension off a hilux ute or somthing similar but ive been told you can't fit it, since toyotas are rally bred and we all drive em I thought one of you nice people could tell me.

guys what is the most ost effective and eaiest way to improve the handling of my boggo standardo ke70? I've been told uprated ae86 struts bolt on for the rear :) ive searched but can't find specific info any ideas or links??

:D I have the chance to buy some 2nd hand coil over suspension: EP71 coilovers (unknown brand) Height adjustable Damper adjust on rear Spare springs $750.00 neg. Now... I also have the chance to buy brand new shocks and springs for the same price. what should I do? The type of driving I love to do is in the mountains at speeds in excess of 100km/h so cornering means a lot to me... drag racing means nothing to me.. Please help. Tommi :)

Hey All Well the time has come for me to start to look into suspension. My ke70 atm has a complely_bog_stock suspension setup. As i am new to the suspension world, i have tured to my fellow rollaclub members for there views / susgestions on the topic! What i would like... (in order of prefrence) 1. Cutt out some of the un-nessary body roll (when car was road worthied, mechanic said shockies were on the way out) 2. Slightly lower the car (not too much, but just a lil :D ) lol What the car will be used for... 1. Road use - it will be my driving car! 2. Motorkahan's - yes, as soon as i get my p's , the Motorkahans are up on the table ! …

Hi guy was wouder if u can help i want to do a brake and suspension upgrade to front and rear off my pano so it will be able to take the 4agze i plan to put in down the track the only thing is i would like to keep it all toyota if that is at all possible i have heard the corona mk2 "F" series diff will fit not sure what centre to put in that plus i would love to put disc rear end allso have heard u can use ra23 front struts but just want to make sure if i want big wheels they will not scrub

Seeing as i just got new Rims what suspension do you guys suggest. I have heard mixeds rumours about monroe and king springs Do pedders make stuff for ke70's and if so how much are we talking. Pricing on this does not matter if you are going to do something you might as well do it properly. So any advice would be grealty appreciated. :hammer:

This is mainly aimed at Paul, as he has alot of experience in this area with setup and so forth. But anyone and everyone please give your opinions. Basically i am looking for something low and stiff. Isnt everyone? hahaha. I have a pair of short stroke TRD front shocks here but nothing for the rear. I want to go on the cheap, but not dodgy cheap. One of my main questions is are coilovers really necessary in the front? I mean if you get custom springs made up, using 400ish lb springs, the suspension isnt going to be moving very much and wouldnt that keep the spring captive? So my first dilemma is coilovers or not in the front. Second is what to use in the rear. Garage …

hey I'm looking for some ideas for susspension for my ke70 running a 4age, at the moment I'm just running choppies, any ideas???

don't know why i bother

So guys recently I got my hands on another ke of course being such an old car there are things that need attention. First off is the suspension currently running leaking stock shocks and cut springs. And drives like crap especially when going over bumps which I found out when I jacked the car up to do some work is because the spring is cut so much that when no weight is on the car the spring moves freely safe to say it's dangerous and soon want to change. I've sorced full stock ke suspension for cheap but I still want the low. I don't want to opt for coilovers as they would cost as much as I got the car for and I don't want to run illegal choppies so I was wondering if an…

Well if the scars on my hands are anything to go by, got the new suspension in the wagon put in today. Getting a front end alignment don't tommorrow morning but it nails around corner well already. Will try and get some pics up.

Alrighty guys, so I've been doing some research into engine and suspension mods, and there are some common ones people seem to be doing. BC AE86 Coilovers. AE86 Power Steering Knuckles XT130 Corona Lower Control Arms AJPS Lock Spacer Adjustable Panhard bar Is there anything people would recommend over others, or any fairly basic mods I've missed? I'm more or less trying to find out what the common mods are, so I can organise my wishlist, and know what I'm looking for. Cheers, Ethan.

Hi everyone, umm I'm looking to lower my car abit more but before i can i need to know how much its already been lowered so i can get the springs ordered. Ive asked mechanics and they reckon they have to take out the spring to see how much its been lowered... I brought the car already lowered with 17's on it and the guy i brought it off doesnt know how much its been lowered because he didnt change suspension.. I don't want to go too low cuz it already rubs everywhere if i have people in the car or if i take hard corners, the gaurds are rolled and bashed out underneath etc etc. So i was thinking if i knew the ride height of a standard 16 twincam 88 then i could measure ap…

Hi Guys, just wanted to get your input on a problem that i have. I have a 91 GTi corrolla, with 17" vault rims and recently i had to change the 2 front tyres. Ever since the new tyres were fitted, i noticed that everytime i go over a speed hump or pot hot, even small ones, the tyres actually scrap against the inside of the guards which is annoying. It happened even before i got the new tyres but more frequent with these new tyres. I bought the car last year second hand and I'm pretty certain that it has been lowered, don't know if it was properly lowered or the springs were cut. Therefore i just wanted to get your opinion on the possible causes and solutions. …

I'm not a expert on suspension setups so I'll just ask here to hear what you guys have to say to this ke70 2 door: slightly heavyer front because of the 2T-B engine, T50 gearbox and stock rear axle with welded locked diff removed all the sound deadening, carpets etc, that made the car less heavyer 205/50R15 tyres on alloy wheels lowered a bit at the front and alittle bit more at the back I want the car to slightly oversteer instead of understeering like it is now ( yes I know I should remove the locked diff or get a LSD ) the car is a daily driver, but I want to have some fun too :moon: so a fast streeter is the goal for this car.. slightly stiffer shocks b…
