I'd give you a bit of cash for the shell when you're done stripping it Vin.

Still got the car? Interested in the engine and gearbox mounts.

Just want to note my objection to this. It is a ʞ©$ɟing terrible idea to ever use ill fitting tapers. They WILL fail.
Like I said, if you're not a ghetto fix sort of guy I wouldn't recommend it... But the bolts are giant huge ʞ©$ɟ-off indestructible, so they should be right.

I put R31 control arms in my KE55 (cause I had them lying around), should be the same as KE70 yeah? It was a pretty dodgy job, if you're not a ghetto fix sort of guy I wouldn't suggest it.....
Anywho KE55's have 10mm or so bolt for the crossmember -> control arm
R31's have a bolt with a 10mm or so thread but a 14mm or so body, so I drilled the rear holes of my crossmember out with some drillbit I had lying around which happened to be the right size (can't remember what size but about 14mm). Like I said the thread is the same size so you only have to drill out one hole for each side. By some chance the bolts were the perfect length and the bushes the correct width so it turned out pretty damn snug in the end.
The second problem is the ball joints, the R31 has giant huge ʞ©$ɟ-off indestructible bolts for the ball joins -The tapers will NOT fit stock KE55 steering arms, but since they're so giant huge ʞ©$ɟ-off indestructible you can just bolt them in anyway and get heaps sick roll centers.
~I just read you're using s13 hubs (durr) so NM this part, but *THEMOREYOUKNOW!*~
My stock KE55 tie rods had more than enough adjustment to be used with the longer control arms because steering boxes kick arse, since you have a homosexual rack I don't know if you'll have the same luck.
Caster rod holes I redrilled heaps futher out, which allowed me to wind in dickloads of castor with stock rods -I can suggest this!
Here's an illustration I prepared in super special christmas colours:

ANother manifold too keep a keen eye out for is the "SK Sanyo " veeery rare for a k series but also one of the best
also TRD but we all know that
Yeah there's one of those on Yahoo atm, used, $200ish, looks like a decent manifold.
-
Mmmm, Kameari, so pretty! If only I could justify that on K.
If any motor is worth it, it's the K motor!
The manifolds go for about $350 on Yahoo auctions
+ postage to Streeter
+ Streeters commision
+ postage to Aus
You might get one for $500 to your door.
And you know it's going to be top shit, Kameari are the go to guys for L-series - they make a mean looking set of 6-1 extractors.

4K will go to 9500rpm 10000rpm all day hyundai!!!! The feral 4k were running has a huuuge KELFORD camshaft "DATRALLY" spec 500+lift and around 330 degrees duration (yep 330 idles at 1800rpm with around 36degrees of advance) powerband 4500 to 9800rpm twin 45 dellortos seriously ported 3k big port, pacemaker tuned length extractors KAMINARI inlet manifold (redline, lynx etc rubbish for hi rpm) Also none of the frankenstein kinda internal stuff goin on here, the 4k engine was severley overengineered from the factory and can handle an amazing amount of abuse, so no pretty roller rockers datto pushrods or anything, and i wouldnt put holden 202 bits in my lawnmower lol. At the end of the day theyre not expensive engines to start with just rev em till they snap and build a new one hope this helps
I'm guessing you probably mean "KAMEARI" inlet manifold, they do look a lot better than redline ones (who I'm certain never actually looked at a K motor):

It's good to know your K motor takes such a punishing!

Edit: From your discription it's probably for the bracket which holds the clutch cable sleve in place.

Bill sherwood shares a bit of info on 4afe and 7afe heads, he reckons there is one special one which will flow better than a 4age head with a bit of work etc etc.
Have a look around his site - you might learn something!

T50
Looks to have a different bellhousing on in but, maybe you struck it lucky and picked up a K-T setup?
T50s have better (closer) ratios than a K50 at any rate.

Judging by the spark plug holes it's had a decent ammount taken off it, I reckon that'll do you nicely.
-
You would have to cc the head, measure piston height at TDC and figure out the the thickness of your headgasket (after it is compressed) to work it out properly. Even after all that, figuring out how much to take off the head for desired CR would be a bit of a guess.
If I were in your position, provided the head you are using hasn't been shaved before, I'd take about a millimetre off - it might bump you up around 9:1 but that won't be a problem. You sure as shit won't have any problems with valve clearance untill about the 4mm mark, and a little extra compression on a tired old 3k won't do no harm.
-
Yeah man the Hr31 in my pic, semi-trailing single wishbone IRS just like the 1600, they get very similar ammounts of camber. Was proper low too, had -4deg easy.
In my experience a couple of degrees too much camber is better than none at all.
But I guess if Ben were to go through the huge pain in the arse involved in fitting IRS to a leaf sprung corolla he might as well go all out and put the latest greatest multi-link under her.
-
Hopefully that's sarcasm!
I'll take gangsta rear camber over a live rear any day, my skyline shat all over my corolla running the same wheels/tyres.
Unless you're talking about drag racing..... that's another story!

Hi there,
In your first post / 3 photo on the left is a KE55 tank and the other is a KE30/35 tank … well it’s the same as in my KE35.
Everything is factory with regards to the spot welded in big plugs/ bungs things.
On My KE35 I have the fuel sender (gauge sender) on the driver’s side and the fuel pick up located on the top.
I have modified mine just like the tank you have come across
Have a read of this thread starting from thread number 107 (it might make a little more sense from what I have tried to explain).
Mystery solved!!!!!!!!!
Thanks mate you're a genius, looks like an easy fuel tank to modify for EFI. You should throw your conversion up in the Wiki.
-
That is true.. But the camber it obtains from ever minor lowering is horrendous
Go low - get phat camber.... I'm not seeing a problem here!
-
Why all the hate for semi-trailing IRS?
I don't think it would be an easy conversion though, a few guys have slapped multi-link (s13/r33) IRS into Aus-spec R31's and they reckon they had a helluva time sorting it all out!
-
Well that's probably it then.
Still you wouldn't catch me anywhere near a fuel tank with a welder - I've heard too many stories of people blowing themselves up!
-
Have you taken said pump out of the tank yet? If not, just because it has a wiring plug doesn't mean its a pump..... Maybe its a level device!?
It's a pump, I hooked it up to power and watched fuel pour out of my dellorto (that's how I know it's for EFI).
-
Someone mounted an in tank pump at some stage.
But it looks to be spot welded in there, and very factory looking spot welds at that! Who would be nuts enough to weld a fuel tank?
kicks the hell outa that finish on the concrete wall behind it :P:
Hey come on man, my land lord is some 80 year old polish lady who lives in a shack in the back yard - it was the best she could do.... (you should see when she paints something)

Hey guys!
My Ke55 came with a mysterious fuel tank which houses an electric in-tank fuel pump, it looks and fits like a factory one. What's really got me puzzled is; what car did it come from? I don't know of any e30-55's which had EFI and e70-80's usually have a tank which sits under the boot..... quite a mystery!
Stock (no pump) tank:
Mystery electric pump tank:
Both:
Stock - note one only pickup, in the center:
Mystery - note the extra pickup which houses the electric pump:
Closer look:
So what do you reckon guys?

Unless you are going to cut down your strut casing, short stroke shocks are counter productive!
(see pic)
You can actually go lower with standard long stroke shocks.

I'll take the shell, don't care if bits are missing.
