Cold someone please look at the KE20/30 owners manual and tell me; 1. What is the correct type of transmission fluid and quantity. 2. What is the maximum downshift speed to L.

Probably a simple answer to this one... How do you rotate an engine that's not complete? i.e. to bring pistons to TDC and that sort of thing. My 3K has no head. Cheers guys :D

Does any one know if these engines are any good???? Any comments are welcome! :D or :dance:

Does anyone remember seeing the ke20 / ke15 with the injected 5k turbo engine in it? i think the picture of it is between two skylines??? Any one 'member? :dry:

bought it off of ebay for 80 bucks usd. The guy said it was for a pre '74 corolla......i asked specifically if it would fit a '69. got it, put it on yesterday, had to cut 1/2" off of the motor mount plate, finished it up today. leaking at head....that'll teach me to try to reuse old gaskets..... i don't really notice any difference, just is louder at the twice pipes any advice?

Got a Gearbox today. 5speed T50. Ive heard that they are quite a good box. Truth??? :D

as the topic states, are the head bolts and rod bolts torque to yeild??? havnt got a book in front of me to check....

While at work, I was PONDERING!??? I just received my 5k engine yesterday, and I can't wait to get home and play with it! Just a question? What would be the best suitable head to put onto it??? Any Thoughts??? ……… Also, after my thorough inspection, the head looks unusually shaped. The best way to describe it would be, its, well, FLAT! Confused??? :dry:

The rack & pinion steering mounting on the KE70 series are on the rear of the front crossmember. Bit of "Teddy" lateral thinking here. Has anyone ever fitted a KE70 front cross member to say a KE-30, 36, 55 and converted the steering over to rack & pinion ? :D

My 4K-U has a double crankshaft pulley. All one piece. The rear pulley is slightly larger than the front one. The rear one drives the usual water pump & alternator. Question ? What was the front one used for. Did some corolla's with 4K-Us have power steering or maybe airconditioning ? Would be interested to know. :D

I have a KE55 2 door coupe running a stock standard 4K-U engine. (Heron head with dished pistons) I have gone through all the common experiences of constantly having to attend to the points, or run the risk of the rubbing block wearing away and point gap diminishing rapidly. Anyway, managed to get hold of a 4K distributor with reluctor triggering. The distributor does not have the ignitor built in like some of the later 5K electronic distributors. The distributor did not come with an ignitor, so I looked around and picked up a brand new Tridon model TIM015 on eBay which is suppose to be a direct replacement for a common Bosch ignitor. Unfortunately it didn…

Since I've pulled my rolla off the road I don't know what to do with it... It needs: Rust removed Paint job FMIC New Turbo New AFM ECU Suspension revised ..... so I'm thinking while I'm saving for parts.. I might start working on the body, can anyone recommend a DIY guide which they have followed and had good results? (Or do you reakon just save up for a wreaked gt4? for the swap overs)

Hey guys! I got thinking on the weekend, with my 5k, I could either bolt on a draw through system turbo or bolt on the supercharger! What do you guys think? Any comments would be great! I had a look at a supercharger to buy as well, $300 for an average intercooler and a sc14 (off a Toyota chaser 1ggze ) what is the correct supercharger for this application? Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated!

hey I'm going be doing a Hilux rear end conversion into my corolla, I'm looking at getting an 8" lsd rear end from an early model hilux, but its a 5 stud axle, is it possible to convert this to 4 stud ?, il be shortening the diff housing to fit it into my car, so would i be best just to get some custom axles made up or is there some out there which are strong that i can use which will be able to handle 400hp ? cheers David

anybody here put a race seat in a ke20 or 25 (or any corolla for that matter) that they were happy with? what was it? not too fussed about fixed or reclining, just comfy and supporting i scored a cobra clubman for free a while back, and made some adaptors up out of 8mm steel strap, but it sits too high so my legs hit the steering wheel if i lift off the pedal, and my knee hits the gearknob in 5th. i even drilled all the holes so they line up first go too, rare for me :D

Don't know if this link has been posted before (I don't remember it being), but here is something I thought might interest someone: http://remanufactured-engines.com/44%20Toy...%20Cylinder.htm

does anyone have the wiring diagram for the ignition/coil for a 1975 ke35. basically ive got 4 wires which i thought all went to the coil - 2 negative and 2 positive. ive put a 4age in and put a multimeter on the wires and checked them, put the appropriate ones onto the terminals of the 4age coil then checked the dash and all the lights were on (with the key off). so i took one of the wires off the negative terminal and it sparked, so i took it off and put a multimeter on it and there was nothing when i earthed it (the multimeter) to the body or engine manifold, but when i earthed it to the ignitor/coil bracket there was about 4volts going through it. so pretty …

heres a few pics of my flexplate that was replaced today.... well.. whats left of it.... and again up close..... mechanic said he's never even seen his race car do that to a flex plate.

Where can you purchase solid lifters for the 5k engine? Does the engine ever come out with standard fuel injection??? I have heard that few 5k engine actually have solid lifters stock, not the hydrolic lifters! Is this true? If so, How can you tell??? ( I'm new to this stuff ) :D thanks to All. ROLLAS 4EVA

I was ponderin as we all do from time to time? Can you turbo charge a 5k? Ive seen pix of them but no real info? ANY THOUGHTS??? :D JK

Hey all Well, as you know ive got 1x Ke20 in my driveway with 1x very sad 3k. So, ive been deciding on a few options for it latelly, and come up with some ideas. First up, get the interiour upto scratch, complentating a bit of custom gauge work, but that will come over time. Fix the body up, and do something about those guards. The ROH's are staying on that car. Bahhaha ANYWAY! Motorwize is what i want to talk about. I was thinking it would be wize to put a motor in thats going to work for the car, and suit its purpose. The car was going to be an investment project, get it all good, flog it off - but i luve it too much, and thats now changed. I would like …

After searching for a long time to try and find some interchangeable rear end parts for my te27, I found this site. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stepho/diff.htm It takes you straight to rear ends, but check the rest of the site out, its got lots of info on JDM parts, and a brief history of toyota.

I have a cancer hole in the roof of my beat down te27, and was wondering if any of you have done any sheetmetal work or would have any suggestions. The hole is about the size of a thumb, and goes all the way through. I was thinking of just cutting that section out and either welding or pop-riveting another piece of tin over the cut-out section... what do you think?

how do i get the lil centre hubcaps off the front of my ke70 without damaging them? got some wheelstuds today, wanna put them in. who was it thats done this before, i've seen the pics of the painted struts, etc off a ke70 in the public upload directory

Does anyone know anything about this? Cost, description, features etc? I remember waaay back a long time ago in Malaysia my uncle's Datsun 120Y had a little box under the dash for aircond, it had a fan and everything built in, very neat and just had 2 switches and a knob on it. Worked reasonably well too, I'm not sure how much plumbing etc it had. Also, do they have a heater function too? Or do they only work as an aircond?

okay.. now my alternator doesn't charge the battery I was using the 4k alternator on my 2T engine because I didn't bother soldering new cables when I swapped the engine a few days ago the charge light started to light.. I drove a bit and the engine died,flat battery.. then recharged the battery and drove home now I have changed to a 2T alternator I know worked a half year ago, with a multimeter the + at the B pole( when the cable is disconnected ) and - at the battery when the engine runs it charge only 0.4v.. that isn't enough for me :\ what can be wrong? is really both alternators defect? sound strange to me.. but okay.. earth.. is trough the engine? can be a ba…
