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

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:

Can Someone PLEASE help me! sob I am in great need of a re-build book or engine manual for my 5k??? Does anyone have one they could send or email??? Many thanks :D ROLLN WAGON

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)

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…

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

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

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

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.

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

we have 3 TRD parts books,92,96,2003.

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.

yay, my car is now sounding like a battle tank, because the flexplate is weakened and apparently sheared a bolt off or something. is this gonna cost me $$$ ??

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?

I have a strange gearbox.. it doesn't fit any K, T or A engine.. it's a 4 speed gearbox.. with the clutch and starter at the same side.. the speedometrewire is on the *wrong* side.. the bellhousing and gearbox is 1 piece.. like the K40/K50 and a normal gearstick doesn't fit, completely different.. and I'm not sure, maybe it isn't a toyota gearbox?

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…

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?

I just got a 4agze, with a shot S/C. Well i assume its dead because of the crazy size of the over drive wheel. any way, I've been thinking about fitting a S14 supercharger to the motor, i know there longer, but is it achievable, would all the piping flanges/bolts aliment be the same. Could i just run it away from the stock position, say swap it with the alternator. google seems to be not much help, only to say its not a direct bolt up

hmms. drove home on 3 cylinders and no headlights tonight thanks to a trusty 30Amp alternator.... oh, and a bent a rim, and destroyed half an axle and hub :D

I have been thinking about motors and stuff, again. Heres my idea(s). Configure the injectors (on a 4/7ke setup) to fit into the spark plug holes, and machine holes for new position for spark plugs. Ill let you guys do the whys, pro's and con's lol. Also, what would the effects be if i was to completly remove the middle wall between 1 and 2 inlet, 3 and 4 inlet - make it all smooth offcourse, and a manifold to match... =) -> increase exhaust ports as well. ;)

I have got some parts here now.. I have ae86 front suspension/steering components,crossmember, brakes, etc, everything except the sway-bar. I want better brakes, and the ae86 ones are vented discs.. it's also alot easyer for me to get new springs and shocks for ae86 than ke70, so I want to use the suspension also.. and I've heard ae86 has quicker ratio on the steering wheel than ke70, so I want to change to the ae86 rack'n pinion.. I am wondering if anyone has done something like this before, and if it's worth the job? is this really just a bolt on conversation?

Picked up a 5K electronic dizzy on ebay recently for just $ 50.00 in excellent condition. It is a Nippon Denso unit with 5K-C on the Toyota label on it. It is the electronic dizzy with the ignitor built-in. The plug to it has only two connections. One presumably goes to +12V ignition & the other to the +ve side of the coil. One wire is black with a red stripe on it, the other is black only. I presume the red stripe is +12V ignition & the black one goes to the coil. Can any one confirm, who has a 5K wiring diagram, showing the electronic dizzy connections ? Does anyone know of the original 5K coil primary resistance specs ? What other low resistance pr…

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.

hey guys whats doin, i have bought a 3m and automatic out of an early cressidda or something and i was wondering on what size it would be, i was told it was a 2 litre, also anyone know what sought of grunt its got cheers

i remember a site somewhere, buggered if i can find it :dance: about all the spots that rust on a ke70, like the fuel cap, the guards, and the boot lip, etc. anyways, i'm about to get myself a new boot lip rubber seal, but i want to fix up the rust patches first, and i dunno how... can i bash the rust out (its held there by paint) and patch the hole with a stratco fibreglass kit? and sand it, paint it, etc? or do i need to do it more professionally, and get some steel in there, and weld it or whatever? the hole will be about the size of a 50 cent piece.. well, both of them... will post pics later tonight so you guys know what i mean. i really wanna fix…

Yeah just quickly does anyone know where I could pick up a lumpier camshaft for my 4K-C? Considering I'm going to go to the effort of putting the 3K head on you know. Oh yeah, I've taken off the black plastic rear view mirror which was like in such shit condition and rattled when u closed the door or turned up the stereo, and put on the one off my unreg ke20. hah looks cool will get digicam soon to show. chrome to the shiznit, bling bling mafaka. lol took like 3 minutes...

hey everyone, i have a tach that i want to install on my ke70. it is a cs corolla so in the dash assembly it has the analog clock and speedo, no tach. hence my reason for installing one. i just need some info on where each wire should go, i have installed it on other cars, but with the rolla it wont work. i need help identifying a good positive and negative terminals (excluding battery) and also the coil wire. hope u guys can hel[p cheerz Carl :D

hey everyone iv just had my ke20 painted monaro devil yellow and now its time for some engine mods but i wna keep it reasonably cheap....gaskets n bearing etc r only $200 apparently so i'm wondering if i could get any decent power out of about $800-$1000.. i can do most of the work myself but I'm unsure what has been tried and tested....any help would b appreciated cheers ! *ALSO* does any1 kno of any1 who has given a ke20 a targa top? could be interesting I'm definately interested

Hey everybody, I have this te27 that I want to get rolling again. I recently blew the STOCK differential out and I have been unable to find a replacement 3rd member, so I am stuck with finding a junkyard replacement and custom mounting it... Does anyone have any suggestions as to what would be an effective low cost fix?

I have a standard KE20 at the moment, and am thinking of building up a 4K for it. I have read about 3K heads raising compression, but most people are talking about big port heads, is it worth using my standard head and tidying up the ports?

I've posted this link before, but Chin has now updated his website with more useful information and since we now have even more KE70 fans I thought I'd post it up again: http://www.my-acoustic.com/Car/car_section.htm
