Heard rumors spool is about to start making K series forged rods soon too!! :)

There's a reason why I reccomended a stock gasket several pages back. :) I used to use $23 permaseal ones. Now after forking out the bit extra for a genuine I'll never go back. :no2:

Wouldn't have any hesitation buying from Phil's Rotaries. For helpful guys and good products! :)

Or G'town. G'town doctor - "You're actually the first 16 year old girl I've seen recently that DOESN'T have clemidia"!!!! Sorry Dan had to be said. :o

And when somebody does I'll add that and the ke70 figures to the FAQ. :S

Thats TOYOTA reliability for you! :S

Nope. I've done a solid lifter convo....... However I think Coln72 is/was running a bigger cam still with Hydros. Camtech have to lots of K series listing. 3k/4k with solid lifters...... http://www.camtechcams.com.au/toy_4cyl_3k4k.html And 5k hydraulic..... http://www.camtechcams.com.au/toy_4cyl_5k.html As the 5k and 7k camshafts are indenticle any cam on that second link should be fine for a 7k. :S

I have a VN commonwhore rad in my '55. Inlet/outlets are already in the right spot, just need to lengthen the top hose about 100mm wich can just be done by cutting to hose and inserting some old steel pipe. Only issue I would forsee in a ke20 though is weather it would fit width wise.

Yeah basic rule of thumb - If it has SQUARE headlights, it has a rear sway bar. Oh-ke - I'm pretty sure earlier '55's and even '30's already have to holes in the chassis rails to mount a late '55 sway bar. :S

Cool. :S yeah if its just a stock sized bore 5k block then use a 5k HG.

Every Toyota dealership will have a genuine parts department somewhere in the building. Go down for a visit or just give them a call. :S

Huh? Are they oversize 4age pistons. You're really starting to loose me now! :S

Genuine 5k. 3k/4k head will still seal on it. Mines still holding together some 12 months later now! :S

Cheap.....at the mo. f@$k I'd laugh it you started a bidding war with Teddy over it!!! :S

And how switchy were they under brakes, espeacially the escorts. Lot to be said for ABS these days. :S

Yeah. Just be aware of the resulting overboosting issue. Have a couple of mates with 1J's and both have struggled to keep it under 18psi!!!! They haul though. This is one of them..... http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=16773

+1 and get some genuine o-rings to go with them too. :cool:

Wise decision holding out for a J rather than the M...... unless you have shares in ACL. :bash: :cool: There's a lot to be gained in a siamese dump pipe on these. The design of the stock dump pipe/s is woefull. However as soon as you do fit a siamese you'll start getting over boosting (which isn't great with ceramic turbos) issues as the tiny waste gates can't keep up with the new increased exhaust flow. High flow and steel wheel the CT12A's while you're at it and you won't be dissapointed though! :dance:

A facet would do yes. PSI doesn't really matter, it just needs to keep up with the VL pump flow wise. But if you have your return line coming back into the surge tank then its doesn't even need to flow as much as the VL as fuel is being returned to the surge tank. Probably not. Why? - Most intank pumps have a relief valve on the that releases fuel out of the body of the pump. This is fine if you use the tank, but used as a lift pump it will hose down your boot.

...and I have a 3k/4k solid lift cam in a 5k. You fill in the gaps. :cool:

What HG are you using at the moment? a 4k one?

...with the same deck height as the block? :cool:

808/rx3 diffs are just as tiny as a ke30/55 one. So yeah, forget it. The RX bit in my username doesn't come from my passion for corollas! :dance: .....although I would prefer not to be lumped in the same basket as him. :cool:

I had 1x K starter motor running through a 200 amp fuse which it kept blowing,..... so yeah that would pull at least 600 amps you'd think. :cool: So next question - Is the extra power that you'd get from this monstrosity actually going to be greater than the electrical load put on the engine by the struggling alternator!!!??? :dance:
