its not the size of the wheels/tyres that are a problem, its the offset. I run 205's on 13's most of the time. corolla's has a +20 offset. the wheels you are trying to fit are more than likely a +38/+42 FWD offset wheel. do they hit the struts when you try and put them on the front???

oh nasty! :P umm, so that dear was on a PRIVATE ROAD right!?

hey josh, simon here (rs5's), just wondering if you still have this car?? if so how much would you want for the 5 speed??

when i was doing my turbo conversion i needed a ke70 exhaust manifold. he wanted $50 for JUST the exhaust manifold.......and that was if i took it off myself. I ended up buying another 3 elsewere all cost $30!!!!! all came with free inlet manifolds, and 2 came with free carbies!!!!! and they were all taken off the engines buy the wrecking yard guys!!!! nick- i's preffer a ke3-/ke5- box as the shifter in the ke70 ones is further back and i would have to cut my trans tunnel, but depending on price and availability on other i may be interested.

yeah got told about that 1 about 10 minutes after i blew it. I am not paying him $250 though. that guys is the biggest tight arse.......EVER!!!!!!

Hi Guys and Girls, blew another gear box in the rolls yesterday, so I'm on the hunt for 1. needs to be in good condition, willing to pay $50 for a 4 speed, or $150 for a 5 speed. lemme know what you've got. :lmao:

roids 70 - think i've just f@$ked another one, so thats 2 down. what engine are you thinking of using it on? they are VERY SMALL turbos (flow a litre of gas standard) so they are really even too small for a 3k let alone 4k!!! would probably recommend trying to find a cheap t25, t28, or exa/ET turbo rather than using one of these. the sc12's seem to only last about 6 months being overworked like i'm doing, so i'd also recommend not using 1!!! did i beat the t18?? :) come round and have a look at it some time, can't take you for a run at the moment unless you bring a gearbox with you, cause i just blew one on the way out to georgetown for targa yesterday. luckily only got as far as invermay. :lmao: SO DOES ANYONE IN TASSIE HAVE A CHEAP G-B FOR ME????????

just upload them onto here from your computer if thats easier, then i can just save them onto mine.

re-read my previous posts. there one (the biggest) that has a whole heap of linked pics.

my camera usb cable is shagged at the moment, gotta buy a new one. hey falken, you got a digi camera that works?? come round and take some pics for me and we'll go for a drive. :P

you could use the standard carby, rejetted, but not the standard pump as it wouldn't make enough pressure. either re-read what i have written about fuel injection pumps and rising rate regs, or get a carter black and reg it to about 8psi, but this would probably be too much for the standard needle and seat. 6psi on a 4k is nothing, reliable as. but the fun doesn't really start until about 10psi!! :P

so who was the guy with the ke70 4k-ze?? when are we gunna have a turbo vs supercharger run? :dance: I'll probably be taking it out to the platninum car club drag day in early june, so you might just have to come out there to do it legally! plus you'll get to drag a few "pretty" cars! :D which I'm sure we'd both do! :dance: don't suppose anybody took any pics of my engine bay? my cameras stuffed.

go the gas!!! :D

hmmm. if you ever did find one by chance, what the chances you might be able to send it this way??

he's 24 i think. ...anything with a heart beat! :)

yeah that was me at tassie nats. just took it in for a laugh and to turn a few heads (which i successfully did) only did 17 flat on 6psi, was running 10psi for the burnout comp and go to whoa. head and bottom end are dead stock, its a blow through system. have a look in the 4k-c turbo thread in the engine conversions as i've got heaps of details and pics in there. not sure on power. at a guess i'd say 1 and 1/2 times more power, but twice as much torque!!!

thats why my turbo is actually to small. sitting on 100kmh with just the tiniest pit of throttle is basically on boost!! :D darren was running HKS 25/30 IIRC! :) what is the availability of the 5k electronic dizzy like in NZ?? rough price?? think the 4k points dizzys pull about 40o max mechanical advance.

this thread is gunna be chock full of 4ktc info by the time we're finished!! thats what i say- share the k series love! :D wouldn't mind trying to find one of those cheap! :D as i've just got a 3k points one at the mo. what have you done as far as advancement and timing though? has it been regraphed or something. mines got locked out mechanical (with a couple of cable ties hehe) advancement and no vac advance either. its set at about 20o befor at idle. been thinking about putting half the mech advance back in. with full mechanical advance it contantly blew head gaskets. :)

thats right your on holidays.... .......is that why there was a huge party at your place last night!! :) haha j/k.

ah that reminds me, the nikkis on older mazdas like 626 1.5 and 2 litres have the same bolt pattern on th manifold. ie carbies go straight on, but you just need to grind down one of the bolt castings to clear the accelerator linkage. your probably getting sick of me asking you questions boost+k, but what did you do with your ignition?? and also what exactly is your turbo, mine too small really and need an upgrade soon??

sorry to dig up an old thread but i've got a few q's. firstly how much were those valve springs? and were did you get them from? same for the head gasket? that looks like a copper head gasket though. I though you couldn't use them in any engine that has cast block / alloy head as the metals have different expansion rates?? :)

just realised your in hobart!! if your ever coming up to launy or something, pre-arrange with me to come have a look at my car, and i'll take you for a spin and give you (and your dad) a run down on 4k-tc's! :)

cost really depends on how much you can do yourself, I did EVERYTHING on my car, so only parts cost me. (I would have put atleast 50 hours work into it!) your dad ins deffanitely right, but weres the fun in taking the easy path!! :) my stock 4k has 6psi gate pressure and 10psi on a switch, apparently if you start running over 12psi then you'll start cracking pistons. k series engines are tuff as shite. I had a few initial teething problems, which you would have with the twins anyway, but it is reliable now its all sorted. forget the 3k head, what this will do is raise your compression when you want to lower it for the turbo. (this can be done by retarding the timing.) blow throughs aren't that hard to set up, just a few little sweeks to be made. Darren (untubbed_20) was telling me one of his mates has a 5k with a wrx td04 and top mount, still running a standard corolla carby that makes 90rwkw (f@$ken awesome for a standard 5k) on 12psi i think. www.gotboost.org (i think) is were a lot of ET/EXA guys reside, i'm sure there would be a turbo or 2 for sale on there....actually i'm going to look for an upgrade now! :D know what you mean boost+k, I did the whole convo for about $500, thats why i don't wanna blow half that again on just a reg!! :D don't tell me your a rotor head aswell! :D

do you mean how i'v done, or am going to do the fuel system?? currently doesn't fuel up, the needle and seat retention on those little webers in unbelievable, holds 12+psi easy. the malpassi you say you are using, is it a rising rate reg, ie does it rase fuel pressure when on boost. easiest way to tell is if it is, it wil have a vacuum line attached to it. the only thing thats been stopping me changing to the efi setup is finding a reg that fits the corolla budget!! :) cheapest i've found new is $260. so basically what i'm asking is: the malpassi that you are using, is it just a run of the mill EFI rising rate reg that you have been able to reg down to a suitable pressure for the carby at idle???? cause if it is i can find one of these cheap as off any car forum!! if you could just give me a part number i should be able to work out the rest! if you don't mind spending a bit of money on your car, maybe look into upgrading to a hilux diff! they would be hard to modify for the rolla and I'll garentee you'll never break those axles. the later hilux diffs also came with lsd's which can be fitted to the older carriers. hilux diffs are the most common upgrade for old skool rotas (which I also have), and can be found in like 400hp plus 13b turbs!!

I really need a bigger radiator and 5 speed for highway cruise etc but would be keen for a meet up. might actually be a good time for it this week as not many people will be working. its just the one that may be going away for the weekend that wouldn't be able to make it.
