So, while I was over at peteys the other day I was f@$king around with this CT12 he's had sitting in his garage for months and it got me thinking... Now your probably thinking right now, "Oh no hes going to bolt it onto his 4AGE" right? But that would be the rational thing to do now wouldn't it? Have I ever been known to think rationally? I propose...... The 4A-CT. Yes, you heard right. Now i can source the main parts like the turbo, IC for cheap. (read nothing) but things like blow-throuh carby, manifold, water/oil lines, piping etc i'll have to shell out for. Now. What are people thoughts on this idea. I'm not chasing big power or anything. Just a mode…

Hey all Well, now I'm thinking on the lines of Cams ! when u say (from nicks car) - 42/88 what is what... is the 42 like the time it opens, and the 88 is the closing time? And I'm on ebay, lookin at this... Click Me and the seller has got " Sure Cam MZ16 Profile, duration 239 deg @ .050", .450" valvelift, 105 lobe centres " Wtf ! Any 1 lol

Hey all After some thinking today and what not, i was wondering what ke""s the 3K Big port intake manifold came off - u know the bit I'm takin about - bit that takes the air and fuel into the cylinders ! stilllll thinking about K motors, how they work, best setup : Price etc Thanks all :)

Hey all On the ke70s, the final drive gear ratio is 4.300 standard - The came optional as 3.889 How do i know which ke70 would have which ratio ? - Is there a way of telling ?(besides from driving on freeway at 100 Kmh in 5th and seeing revs) & - Which ratio would keep the revs lower @ 100 kmh in 5th - The 4.300 or the 3.889 ? Thanks All !!!!

As promised some pics of my red car. As you can see, interiors are overrated. Front on The block is back from the machinist Head Job Asparagus

OK, How hard would it be to put fuel injection setup of a 7K on a 3k motor, i was told that i have to make my 3k to take unleaded?, how much work is involved and how much would it cost?

last night i found some injector specs on google for yoda modas engine / inj colour / cc/min / impedance 4ke / light green / 145 / 2.4 1g / green / 145 / 2.4 4age / dark grey / 182 / 2.0 3sfe / dark grey / 200 / 1.7 22re / orange / 200 / …

heya guys, new to the site and to playing with corolla's are there any easy options for a brake upgrade for an AE71?? I'm thinking of fitting a 4AGZE and the current brakes aren't even really up to spirited driving with standard power Dave

Gahhhhh When my bundel of joy doesnt get driven for a wile, the breaks go sticky (thats my nick name 4 it) - basically they stick ( :) ), and u try and move the car - it aint go no where unless u rev the hell outa it then drop it into gear, which slowly releases their grip of death. - i have to do this a few times over untill the car will freely move without the need of tooo many rpms. I know this is bad for my car ... -> reving it, then droping it into gear, i REALLY hate doing it, but theres no other way i know of getting the car to move... Any idea how to fix / solve this problem? when the car was getting done for the road worthy - around x-mas time, the…

Ok guys, I've begun to source parts for Maxi's rebuild.... because I will stretch my budget I can't afford to pay for labour (all u money hungry members can push ur back button now!) so I need your help... and to make it even better I thought we can make it into a Rolla Help / Tech day.. were we all can learn how to put in suspension shocks and springs.. replace a bush or 2, put in a slave cylinder and bleed it, plug a WRX Turbo on a custom made manifold and plug up all the oil lines. I hope this doesn't sound like a win win situation for me alone... frankly it is because I get help on something I don't know.. but I think it would also be a win win situation for s…

Just bought KE70 with 4K engine. Faces some problem and need some one to advise ??????? 1)Fuel gauge going ding dong. When car not moving & fuel is full - OK, the problem happened when the car start moving, the gauge will indicate empty fuel. 2)Body shaking at speed of 80km/h and above. 3)Fuel consumtion -300km vs 35 littre :)

I've picked up some pretty blue and gold anodised sleeves from fulcrum for my front struts but I'm baffled as to how they are actually attached. They look like they're made of alloy so they can't be welded to the strut. Are they press fit or do you need to attach a steel collar of some kind to hold it in place? I noticed Fook was using the same product but i can't see how its attached to the strut. Any ideas?

Hey Guys, I'm new to this forums, i own a ke30 corolla, my one is the one in the public upload, the ke30 2 dr with the L plates on it, I'm no lerner anymore.

After a couple of mis-shifts while at skidpan, the change from third to second has become very difficult at any speed over 40 km/h. rev-matching or double clutching doeset help. Have I f@$ked a syncro or somthing or could it be something else?

: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 :)

who needs to buy a k&n when you have an angle grinder :rolla: http://superjamie.fotki.com/cars/mango/200...engine_bay.html http://superjamie.fotki.com/cars/mango/200...budget_air.html http://superjamie.fotki.com/cars/mango/200...gine_bay-2.html http://superjamie.fotki.com/cars/mango/200...gine_bay-3.html i took some more random photos of the car if anyone's interested http://superjamie.fotki.com/cars/mango/page3.html i've changed the tappet cover for one with two pipes for ventilation, put another uniflow pod on, just gave it a quick wipe with mothers and some 2000 grit, i'll polish it on the wheel some other time. have added 10mm ignition leads. cb…

hey guys, i've got myself a set of twin hs s.u. carbies and me and my bro have fitted em, but the car is running like shit, it sounds like a rotary/boxer engine :D anyways if anyone knows y that might b or wants to come and have a look and help me out that would be much appreciated. thanks in advance chris

How long is this supposed to be? I've got 2 lying around, one from something I'm not sure, the other from an ST115 and both are 65mm long... How are you meant to adjust them anyway? They don't seem to offer any sort of adjustment...

I have a question about brakes: I replaced the master cylinder and tried bleeding the brakes. Back brakes fine.....front brakes???....no fluid is coming from the nipples.......not even air! Do you think the master cylinder is clogged? If it is......can anyone tell me how to remove the rear piston and spring from the master cylinder? Thanks guys......I'm sure someone will know.

Ok, get this. 1 of my bro's friend was on about turbos, and it went along the lines of this... *you turbo the intake, why not turbo the exhaust* :fuzz: :D i ***think**** its been done before somwhere... what input / abuse can any 1 throw at this idea lol ! :rolla:

Today i did some research. This is what i asked them all... "hello, i have a ke70 corolla, standard 4K motor. I have some 4:1 extractors. I was woundering how much it would cost me for you to install the extractors- they need a gasket & to install a 2" exhaust with a standard 2.5" Tip - somethig nice, but not too expesive !" & i got this responce.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rob Bliss Exhausts 264 Robinson Road Geebung 3265-2044 $175 - Pipe $25 - Tip $60 / 80 - Gasket TOTAL COST - About $280 / $300 -----------------…

Lately my car has been having a few heat issues when driving, normally it used to sit just above the 1/3 way mark, lately its been hitting half way and jumping to the last mark on the guage before the overheating mark. Replaced the thermostat today and it still did the same thing going up the highway, the guage is all over the place, anyone had temperature troubles with a 4K-C before? any suggestions as to what it might be? had the engine apart 6 months ago and the head gasket was changed then, only other thing I can think of is to try torque the head down a bit more... (suspect it has been chewing some water lately so i'm going to have to keep my eye on it)

Hey all Get this (click this bit!) "....1987 Crown Sedan 2000cc Auto ...' Now, look at the pic... Umm... it looks like a 4age top? - What motor is that?! This is 1 google can't anwser lol :P

Hey all - look what i got :P :D another 1 to add to the collection lol

Hey all I was thinking - how hard & expensive is it to PROPERLY lower a Ke70 corolla? I know you could chop the rear springs = not too healthy, and some other cheap methods - but i don't know of the proper way of doing it! Any 1 properly done this b 4? Any ideas / suggestions? Thanks all Teddy

Hey all Any idea what a 4K-C could safely bore out to? 1.4L? And, If i descided later on down the track to upgrade my carbie, where would i start? - WHat info do i need to know? How do i know whats the best carbie for my car? Etc For example - Nick (Grim) has that webber on his rolla, How did the previous owners know to put that on there - why that 1? Get what I'm on about? Cheers !!! Teddy

Something's wrong with my drums I think, have been since I bought the car. Have had them looked at twice, they still don't work anywhere near as well as I think they should. I've got them tightened as far as they will go (I think they're probably even dragging a bit at the moment), it's down to 1 click... But yeah, because they're really very ineffective I have to yank REALLY hard to get them to lock up at all...

Hey all !! Corolla Sales This is what i got!!! On Weekend will scan it all :| Really happy with it Teddy

Hey all If you could pick ANY engine to put into your car, what would it be? So its easy for every 1 to see, put ure car then what ud like eg. Teddy's 1983 Ke70 13B Twin Turbo... or what eva :D (P.s - how hard would it be to put a 4AGZE into a ke70? :D)

Ok, i'm at my wits end with the f@$king car.. so here's the deal.. It's not sucking fuel. It's got a BRAND NEW fuel pump, brand new filters x2 (one before fuel pump, one right on fuel tank outlet), brand new rubber joints for fuel line connections, fuel tank PROFESSIONALLY cleaned out. YES it does have fuel in it. Also, the carbie (standard Stromberg) has had a new needle & seat installed and cleaned out. can ANYONE shed any light on my problem before i give up and send it to my mechanic... cheers, matt :D :D

gday fellas......i need to get some info on gearbox conversions for behind the k motors.....any help would be great.....
