  1. yep td04, triangle flange, pain in the ass i think, would have been better getting the correct turbo to fit in the first place. going to heat wrap the manifold but i don't think it will make a bigger enough difference. I have my microtech off my 20V sitting here so it maybe used with this and the coil packs to get us out of trouble.
  2. Turbo time. Be more pics when i get this done. I think ill have issues with the dizzy melting.
  3. No it doesnt have any other rust apart from the front bit pictured and one lower rear quarter panel. rest is perfect.
  4. Been a long while since a update, the old girl is looking a bit unloved. Ive been working on it slowly most of the time i CBF, But it will get there slowly. Stripped most of the stuff from the engine bay and started taking it back to metal and filling all the unnessary holes, Removed the brackets for the battery tray, just need some weld to fill the holes and then smoothing, other than 1 lower rear quarter panel this is all the rust in the car, will patch that next weekend and shou;ld be able to get the rest of the engine bay ready for paint then too.
  5. wow that first class...............Wanker. Why the hell would you cut the crap out of the rear guards to fit 20" wheels on corolla, the engine would struggle just to move those lumps of chrome bling. NOT COOL.
  6. If your about tomorrow give me a ring, i can bring my big battery and a laptop with a real serial port.
  7. Very nice job, well done. Where did you get the trigger wheel from and what does one cost?
  8. well if it public i would say that the normal road rules will apply. Council, National park, Forestry or Mining don't get caught. I think there are a few places around Tasmania for recreational off roading if your going to use one of them i would also think road rules again would apply. Looking at your display pic i don't think something like that would be road legal, so id say if it wasnt private land then its not a good example to others. Doing something illegal and advertising the event on rollaclub is also not a good idea. So i would just like to say unless its a cruise on a public road/car park meet/CAMs event or any gathering place that other public have access to is fine to put up on rollaclub. If you think there maybe a issue with your event maybe you can continue with it on Messenger or something.
  9. Is this happening on private land with the owners permission and they know that they can be liable for injury? This is why its hard to organize such events, as you are not doing a simple cruise and the fact you are using rollaclub id be very carefull, everyone may take it easy but you could get one idiot turn up (may not be even a member, just read the site) and there could be problems. I really think the smarter thing for all involved would be to join a club, Motorsports club of tasmania is only $30 a year to join, usualy $30 for an event, these are motorkanas, Drifting, super sprints. That way the rollaclub meets are all covered under the CAMS, CAMS licences cost about $89 for adult and junior are approx $35 a year.
  10. I guess the car came out with a 1600, maybe he wants to keep it in the 1600 class, so why not fit a 4age as a good toyota allrounder engine that is easy to get mods and upgrades for. A 4age is going to be better than ANY push rod engine in the 1200-1600 class.
  11. Good answer, I wasnt thinking of the quad throttles. Yes using map is a bit of a pain in the ass, My 20V is only just drivable on the street with the tunning it has, Mine is tunned with map but not TPS enrichment as the older Microtech didnt support it, it would rather be off throttle or full throttle. but then again you can get a good tunning with TPS and MAP combined, The blacktop 20V uses map. Adaptronic will use both also and there is a Blacktop map avaliable for download dyno tuned for map and TPS.
  12. why would you run a Air flow meter (AFM) if your running a wolf ECU, Map would have better results and less restriction on the intake air?
  13. and with a few days polishing. They would look like these on my old V6 rolladore.
  14. Shouldnt be too hard fitting a FWD engine to RWD if you can get a gearbox to fit, Every 4age 20V is a FWD motor and 90% 4age and ZE are FWD
  15. I don't think a W series box will fit the tunnel, T50s arnt the strongest box, mine behind my 20Valve isnt too nice anymore, it grinds 2nd and 4th, and wont go back down to 2nd fast, and we all know i don't drive them that hard. But untill mine shatters a gear or just falls out ill keep it going:P
  16. I'm now loving this car :hmm:, Ill have to get stuck into mine, its giving me inspiration. Where did you get the trumpets from?
  17. are you adding metal,welding or just bogging over it?
  18. I saw this at USA day. Well done, it looks great, i like it. The 4age will look good in the engine bay.
  19. Maybe he wants to be in a 1200cc or under class, maybe keep the car with the original motor, Makes sense to me, isnt it also a challange to make a 3k kick the ass of a 4-5-7k motor, 3k will also rev better, smaller stroke
  20. Ive just read this thread, I have built a supercharged 2tgeu with a sc12 supercharger, made 9psi boost with a huge intercooler,But no where near 131kw at the wheels, it was more like 90kw at the wheels with 9psi. the sc14 or eaton it should go well as it will flow more air, maybe a little harder to mount.
  21. Sorry for all the additions, I keep thinking of more stuff, I am at work so i get interupted. When i first came to rollaclub this forum was setup for a information forum and not so much for chit chat, thats another reason i don't post much, you younger people just want to chit chat so finding information is alot harder than i should be. If i posted the same answer or just said hello to every person that posted we would have threads just full of shit (we kind of already do) this is not what we wanted at the begining. I try to stick to the rules of this forum, the Rules i was told when i first joined.
  22. In fact if you had PM me or just asked me i would be just said yes, but i feel is was a little back stabbing happening. I don't like that and I'm sure you wouldnt either and the fact cassy is asking and not you, i thought was a little childish. Sorry But lets not get to far into this, we are all amtes and i don't want this to be a problem, as i said I'm happy to hand it over, But you do the work and ask the board admins as they apoint who they think is responsable for the job.
  23. In my favor or not, if you people want a new reigon leader I'm happy to give it up. simple Its just a title that gives me the power to keep our forums tidy etc and you being here all the time maybe you would be better keeping a eye one it. The post you point out was a question about modifying, it had already been answered and most of the answers are found using the search function anyway. I don't add alot of input again, the answers are easy found using the search function and most of the time are answered correctly quickly, i have been a member here for along time, I do sometimes get sick of typing the same answers over and over again so alot of us do. I answer every PM i get, What was it to do with, a map sensor i seem remember? No i don't do alot and as i said I'm happy to hand it over to you for the fact ive been let down a number of times be the members wanting cruises etc not turning up, don't get me wrong you are all good people and I'm not shitting on you, we have lives and thing come up. "it seems a bit more like you've taken this poll as a popularity contest" I couldnt care about that, we are all friends, BUT i would have liked if someone had asked first before springing this thread on me and getting by back up.
  24. Ok, I'm a little dissapointed in the voters, and its true. If giving simon the title of Reigon Leader (not that a tite is going to make any difference) makes you happy, then I'm happy to hand it over. But i can't see much of a difference, You all have a voice and are always free to put up a idea and I'm sure it will be the same under simons leadership :hmm: so ive thought about it, I resign as reigon leader. You people sort it out.
