A friend of mine (Ted Looi to those who know him) needs some measurements from a boss kit from an AE82/92 Corolla. Does anyone have one handy? Thanks :P Edit: Apparently _ALL_ Toyota boss kits fit AE82/92. Does anyone have a spare boss kit lying around that you could measure up?

Hey all, Found this whilst searching for info on mine; Toyota Colour Codes Not sure if it is of use to anyone, but thought i should put it up anyway.

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…

*points to title* so?

What diff should i go for when I do my engine conversion people?, apparently F series are a lot stronger, but a bit wider than a T series? F series come with disc brakes? Can get LSD centres cheaper for F series than for a T series? I was always under the impression that T series would be more than sufficient, but had someone mention to me that they had already blown 2 T series diffs behind a 4AGE.. :imstupid:

Hey guys, I bought a diff off one of the guys who was parting a car out on here a few months back now ( can't remember his username).. When I went to pick the diff up I was told by the guy I bought it off that he had removed it from the ke70 sedan which he was parting out...on pickup though I realised the diff had disc brakes on it....( to my knowledge no ke70 came out with disc brakes). So my question is, is there anyway to identify what the diff is out off as I want to buy new brake calipers for it to rebuild them as the cradle from one of the calipers is missing.. It's a Borg Warner diff with disc brakes, there is only one number on it it is 0570-02690…

Hi, Been doing some reading on Toyota ECU's and found there are a few types of ECU. Analouge and Digital. The old Analogue ones were on the motors like 4K-E and 3t engine etc. It is the L-jetronnic made by Bosch. Now later ones are the TCCS type which are digital eg. 4age. Now I know the 7K-E injections was made later than 4K and the pin out is similar on the 7K one to the 4age one. Can any one tell me for certain if the 7K ECU is of the newer TCCS type? Also does anyone have the 7K-E manual handy I can get emailed? Cheers Cameron

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

I am working with Non-Stop Tuning (NST)--the leading maker of lightweight pulleys in the USA. They've agreed to develop lightweight crank, water pump, and alternator pulleys for the 3K/4K engines. We'll be switching from the v-belt design to a serpentine style belt system. There's a huge range of colors and at the moment the complete set is running $300 US. The price may seem a little high but where else can you get these? NST is really doing us a favor by agreeing to take on such a small project. Several other companies that approached turned me away. So, bottom line--if you are interested post here and let NST know! NST is more than happy to ship anywhere in t…

I'm trying to install a towbar on my van at the moment, and it doesn't have a harness for the trailer. I found a cable that had been cut off, it has 5 wires in it. Anyone here know much about trailers? not sure if it is a harness or not, and if it is, what wires to use when i connect a plug. any help would be appreciated :dance:

hello all, i'm interested in swapping out my t40 tranny for a t50. i have a '78 toyota corolla wagon te38. what do i need to watch out for? heard that depending on the year of the t50, shaft length and spline numbers could be different.

hi new to this forum.....and great site as well. my question is what tranny do i have on my 1975 toy corolla deluxe? its a automatic but is it a toyo glide or t40? i know for sure its not a t50. any info thanks!! :D

My toyota is a 1976 with an auto transmission. It seems to only have 3 usable gears. I am not sure if there is a 4th or not. I am having carb / possibly vaccume issues that I am still sorting out, but I was wondering if that would relate to the transmission at all. Here are some pics that might have some info: specs of car: Can you spot any issues? You can see the gear selector has L, 2, and 3. Is this what the 4 speed autos have? or is this a "toyotaglide" 2 speed?

Does anyone know where Toyota printed/inscribed the transmission & differential codes on their transmissions & differentials? I've had a (quick) glance under my car to look for them, but due to the level of mud & dirt that has built up there, I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right places. NOTE: This is for a KE55 Corolla. I think it has standard diff (I don't know what code that's meant to be) but I'm not sure what sort of gearbox it has. Any help is appreciated.

I own a 1996 Corolla AE102 with 7A-FE engine 5 speed transmission, all stock If I swap that engine with a 4A-GE with 6 speed transmission imported from japan, would I need to replace the original shifter assembly since it's made for a 5 speed or can any mods be made? Thank You!

I have an SV21 Camry. It doesn't work. I don't know why. RACQ doesn't know why either. It's sitting in the middle of Brisbane city, and I probably can't keep it there forever, but RACQ will only tow it 10km... I drove it to work this morning (no issues), and now it won't go anywhere anymore :monkey: Anyway. Battery OK Starter motor OK Fuel pump OK Fuses OK Spark plugs OK Cold start injector OK Injectors getting power, but NO PULSE. What is wrong? Dead computer? That's the only part the RACQ dude can think of. :)
