    Dyno Sheets

    Corolla Ke20 built to Historic Group Nc spec 3K bored 40thou to 1198cc Bigport head Twin 45 Dcoe Webers Crappy wild cat extractors and 2" street exhaust - tuned length exhaust and possible upright coming soon Big thanks to Nick at Topend Performance 0413 967 462 for his efforts with this motor. Head flows over 160hp.
  2. Sorry for the terrible grammer in my previous post. I use koni sports (adjusted to suit my application). An unadjusted koni, or monroe gt gas would be fine.
  3. Early commodore wagon/ute rear shock and is 57mm shorter then std. These work perfectly with a 2" lowered ke20, they just require a sleeve fitted to the bottom eye, which is easily done. In my Group N ke20 I use vs commodore ute knoi sports with a sleeve in the bottom eye in my ke20 with a reset and extra leaf added.
  4. ke20 rear shock 574 extended, 359 compressed, pin top, eye bottom with sleeve ke30-55 rear shock 517 extended, 307 compressed pin top eye bottom
  5. I have 2 tail shafts and I don't know what they fit. Gearbo yoke fits k40/50. Length is the same as ke20 manual with jap diff but the diff flange is different. Doesn't fit ke20 jap or ke20 Borg. Has a bigger spigot and wider bolt spacing. I'll measure I if needed. Any ideas
  6. Does that actually give history in aus? I can't read it in the pic. It has to have raced as a 3j not a sports sedan or the like? Homologation papers arent enought to get it into group n, even if they are dated prior to 72. All comes down to race history. I tried that. Mick - i wrote the spec sheet which is now available on the cams website. Mine is pretty tame, big cam, lot of headwork, and a bit of mucking around with suspension. It is gutless in comparison to the escorts and 1600 datos i compete with, but out handles all of them
  7. I race a ke20 in Nc here in Qld. I'm also the treasurer of the HRCC group n commitee. I researched long and hard to try and get a te20, te25 or te27 eligible for group n with no luck. Group n is the historic production touring car hacing, so to be eligible the car had to be raced in aus as a 3j production car prior to 1972. I spoke with cams, the qld eligibility officer at the time, and Bruce Richards, if you can find proof it raced as a production car in aus prior to 72, your all good. I couldn't find any in aus. Good luck.
  8. It all comes down to the choke size used in the carbs. I have twin 45s on a 3k (race) but they are choked to 34mm, and you can buy 32mm chokes for the 45, which is what most 40mmm DCOEs run. My dyno tuner has told me to try putting the 36mm chokes in as it will make more HP but loose down low drivability. Also I have a friend with a 2L datsun which made 27 extra hp going from twin 44s to twin 50s which most people said would be to big for the 2L.
  9. Hey mate, just wanted to know if you have any lowering bloks to suit late model ke55. Your help would be greatly appreciated,

    Ben (:

  10. You don't happen to know where I could get one? Or what box in what car has the long carrier, because I have 4 boxes and they all have the short carrier.
  11. It is an orgional motor (as in orgionally in a ke20) but it is far from untouched. jun flywheel, H/D clutch, all new. This is the 3rd clutch in the car (race car, haven't worn them out, just put a new clutch in with each motor. The throw out bearing is the one that came with the gearbox.
  12. Hi, I have a ke20 with a 3k and k40 and my clutch cable is on full adjustment and really should be adjusted further. The clutch fork is forward of centre in the released positsion and comes very far forward when the clutch is depressed. It looks as though the throw out bearing/bearing retained should be longer? Is there more then one length across the models? I know my 3k is an orgional ke20 item, and I have the thicker of the 2 engine backing plates. The gearbox is a ke20 k40 with the extension housing changed to the ke30. Any advis would be great. P.s. I have done a seaech and found a thread that stated the bearing number is the same from ke15 to ke70, but that doesn't mean the retainer that the bearing is pressed onto are all the same.
  13. I have noticed my rail flexes if i dry steer with my semi slicks on. I havn't braced it yet, but i do plan to brace the steering box and incorperate a brace to the master cylinder as my fire wall flexes under heavy braking. Definately worth wile spending the time.
  14. Reversing the eyes of the leaf spring (done properly, not just flipping the complete main leaf) will lower the car the same amount as the diameter fo the front eye. You always want to have some arch in your spring, not flat or arching backwards (frowning smile) for a few reasons, one being to keep the wheel base lengthing on compression not shortening. Lowering blocks work very well up to 2" on a std car, they don't work with high horse power or in skid pigs. I am in Underwood and can have leaf springs reset. If you interested in blocks or resetting you springs, email or PM me - I hope this isn't considered as soliciting. Cheers Andrew
  15. Hi, Corolla 1000, KE10, KE15, KE16 list the same tie rod ends. (corse thread) ($55each + Postage) Corolla 1200, KE11, KE17, KE18 list the same tie rod ends. (fine thread) (no longer available) Hope this helps everyone out. Andrew
