[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

Here is a video from the first dyno pull, from a very safe street tune 1.6bar and 420whp

 

 

It was later tuned to 580whp @1.6 bar, just ignition and fuel tune.

I'm running exactly 500whp right now, no need to push it with this setup.

Well, I planned to do a little makeover on the rolla last winter because the body was really getting rusty and I really don't want to see it go any further with rust damage.

 

Also built a full roll cage in this process.

 

And by a complete accident put my volvo engine up for sale and sold it the same night.

 

The plan was to buy a 1jz and squeeze it in there but, went with a 2jz instead.

A borg Warner s360, 1000cc bosch injectors. And a 6 speed bmw gearbox conversion.

 

So an accidental complete rebuild of the car was suddenly in progress.

 

Here are a couple of pic that show the process

 

 

 

the shifter assembly that I made for the bmw gearbox.

 

 

and a sneek peak at the color

 

 

the 2jz to bmw adapter kit I'm using.

 

 

and a couple shots of the angle, still got a bit of travel left in my steering rack. But have to make new control arms to make room for it.

 

 

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

as for updates, broke the volvo transmission. So I'm fabricating a 6 speed BMW ZF transmission on the back of the volvo engine. with a 6 puck copper clutch and heavy duty sachs pressure plate.

 

Got a fairly unused Turbo from a Evo X and will be fabricating that in there also.

 

and probably a rollcage for the season.

 

But this thing has been stealing time from the KE70 past few months :)

 

2tc with t50 and twin webers 9 and 11" wheels. pretty fun making this one

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

Lovely ride mate :)

 

Just a quick question if you wouldnt mind;

What coilovers are you using?

edit: and how tall are the tubes you made for the coilover mounts in the rear?

 

Currently building a 1980' ke70 myself :) though with a sr20, and a volvo rear axle :)

 

thanks :)

I'm using s13 200sx coilovers because the front struts are from a 200sx ;)

I can measure the tubes but it wouldnt help much unless you are using the same setup. And I also made the brackets on the rear axle.

The way I did this, I put the coilovers in the highest position and bolted them on to the axle and mocked the rear axle under the car with wheels with room to lower it. And measured from there how long the tubes should be.

had to make the front valance from scratch, turned out ok I think

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

mostly been driving this thing for the past weeks.

Except a head gasket change, new clutch with a heavier pressure plate. Putting in the heater element. New rear wheel bearings.

Making a oil catch can, and some other smaller stuff :P

 

here are a few pics of it in action

 

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

Did some more last weekend :)

 

Put in the original front swaybar, with super pro poly bushings

And also did the rest of the poly bushings front and back

Whipped out the diff and put a spacer in the lsd locker.

ordered 7cm wide plastic fenders and 4x114.3 to 6x139.7 adapters for the front wheels

 

 

 

bushing porn for you weirdos who are into that..

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

Put my new camshaft in. It has a higher lift and really makes the engine come to live after 5500rpm were it lost all it´s flow before.

its a turbo camshaft from ipdusa.

 

here you can see the difference on the new and old cam

 

also put in a new distributor and cap and some new spark plug wires

 

Did a little buffing on the roof, hood an wing. Thinking about keeping it this way until next winter. just buff the rest of the car, what do you think ?

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

Well done man, love it! Any updates?

 

thanks :)

small updates at this point, ordered a new turbo cam and some maintainence stuff for the engine, and all poly bushings both front and rear.

polished the rear wheels this weekend though ;)

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

your craftmanship is A+ man :thumbsup:

 

thanks man :)

 

here is a really short clip of it, still only 0.7bar but the torque makes it so easy :)

Its really fun to drive, so easy to go sideways :)

but I'm from Iceland ;)

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

So.. we went out to make a few test runs and a fuel map for the car

and at 5000rpm in 4th gear this happened :/

we were lucky it didn´t go all the way through.

 

having a new stronger one made at the moment

 

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

brake clutch and gas pedal ready. Made the original gas pedal fit the volvo throttle cable.

This was originally automatic.

 

 

 

Moved the fuse and relay box into the car.

 

 

 

making finishing touches to the engine bay

 

 

 

 

clutch and brakes ready and everything works as it should

 

 

 

 

 

In the end I got this finished and registered

the car handles great, still need to do some little tweaks

but I´m very happy with the outcome of this build

 

couple of pics from the 1st test of the car

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

here is a small update.

 

 

made a bracket for the e-brake and passengers seat

aluminum plate for the hole in the trunk

tidied up the loom in the front and removed unused wires

rerouted the lighting loom

 

 

made brake lines and bolted down the e-brake

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

 

 

 

love it.

haha its a love hate thing at the moment, but still working on it, and still loving it a bit more then hating it :)

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

This is going to be used primarily on street, and occational drift, 1/4 runs but primarily drift and street :)

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

here is more ;)

 

making room for the rear shocks

 

 

 

 

a pump bracket from a Subaru RS made to fit in the wrangler tank with a 255 walbro

 

 

steering rack in place, had to modify the oil pan a bit to make this work

 

 

 

Only lost 1L of oil capacity, which was added in the front

 

 

 

 

After finishing the oil pan the x-member was finished up as well

 

No room on the right side for the exhaust so I had to cut it up a bit.. again

 

 

Decided to make a side exit for the exhaust

 

 

All finished up

 

 

doing the intercooler piping

 

 

 

 

3,5" exhaust vs. 3" impreza downpipe

 

 

 

 

Engine out to finish up the bodywork in the transmission tunnel

 

 

 

 

The oil pan nice and shiny

[Ke70 Corolla - Volvo B230Fk - Now With 2Jz :)]

HI I'm new here but have been lurking around for some time now.

 

This is my 1980 corolla wich I have owned for 3 years now but first started to work on about a month ago.

still a working project but will hopefully finish the mechanical stuff in 2-3 weeks

 

I'm putting in a Volvo B230FK engine and m90 transmission.

With 700cc injectors and 16t volvo turbo and about 18-20psi it will be around 250+ hp

All controlled with MS3

 

I used s13 running gear in the front but with custom made lower control arms.

s13 coilovers front and rear

 

I put a 1980 hilux rear axle and vw rear brake calipers and SSangyong musso brake discs.

some pics of the process

 

 

 

 

 

last year I had already fitted a ca18det engine and transmission, but when I took the engine apart I realized that the engine was blown.

 

 

had to cut a little bit into the firewall

 

not much room in there

 

test fitting the engine

 

finishing up the x member

 

 

Lca´s in making

 

 

AE86 tophats and a brake master from a MMC Pajero

 

and ofcourse hydrolic handbrake

 

refurbished s13 calipers

 

MMC evo 8 seats

 

 

 

radiator from a Ford transit diesel

 

16t turbo original from a volvo 850 T5

 

 

 

 

test fitting after making the lower brackets

 

 

 

 

and with tires

 

gas tank from a wrangler made to fit :)

 

everything ready, just waiting for the coilovers to arrive so I can finish the rear axle

 

 

in the meanwhile MS3 was connected up and it fired up and idled nicely in first try

 

 

Coilovers arrived and installed in the front
