Tally

can anyone post up pics of their linkages they came up with to adapt the weber to a KE25 KE30 55 and KE70 throttle cable.

I'm assuming its a 32/36 off a ford. I recently chucked one on my 4k KE25. What you need is: weber weber adapter (redline brand) ramflo airfilter is also good to get for it If its been sitting around probably dusty, give it a good clean with some compressed air. Chuck adapter on and they bolt straight on to a 4K You will have issues connecting the accelerator cable and will need the appropriate linkage for the accelerator cable on the carb (if it doesn't have the right one already) Will need a return spring on the linkage. Also not sure about KE30 but KE25 don't have much pedal travel so only one throat opens up when you get it connected. Not an issue with KE70s. Can be rectified by making a custom linkage mechanism. Many people say a 32/36 is just that bit too big for a stock 4k, and ive noticed why, when you rev it it slows down for a sec and then picks up, but when it does its real nice. you will notice the engine will run a lot smoother. You will use more fuel but shouldn't be too much of an issue they are small engines.

Car looks great man! That grill is super-duper cool!

KE35 honeycomb grill, early KE35 grill is my guess, seen a few around, keep an eye on here and ebay and wrecking yards should find one...

did the same thing on my head not long ago, got head reconditioned and got them to take the bolt out and weld up the head so got rid of the plate. Much nicer and don't have to worry about any leaks in that area now :)

spotted yellow KE25 main north road parafield yesterday, gave a couple beeps front end was in primer with black guide coat, never seen it before, couple young dudes in it, looked in great condition if your on here let us know :)

very sad news mate, main thing your ok, I'm sure youll find another one these things happen....

I'm sure you know lowering blocks wont give you a smoother ride, will increase it in harshness, given a bit of time your leaf springs will cop a beating and deform ive heard....

Skd30 spot on was valve clearences. Got it running sweet! Just in time for ae86 annual 2moro! Just need gearbox oil now :D

electronic dizzy, yea from front to back. its seriously doing my head in everything is working fine, valves opening getting fuel and spark, got battery power, its cranking over fine, when I pump the gas it picks up but doesn't keep going, it only runs on one cylinder at the moment...

Ok I've just about had it with this car ahhhhh!!!! The engine won't start! Ive got fuel, and ive got spark on all four leads and plugs. Number one is firing good but the rest are not, when i take the plugs out the first is dry and the rest are wet. Not sure f it's flooded there is fuel in the bottom of intake but no fuel puddles in the cylinders... I've had it think I should do an engine conversion instead -__- Took carby apart last night cleaned it all up seems fine, bolted it back on and everything... Just don't know why it won't start and why the last three cylinders won't fire... I've swapped leads around they seem correct, firing order is 1342 right so I dunno..

overrated!!! great pic too!!!

Ok guys so got head back from just heads they did an awesome job really happy with what they did for me... no pics just imagine a overrated cylinder head lol... ok so installed it tonight. cleaned up block surface best i could with some petrol and also cleaned top of pistons came up shiny like new :) Then proceeded to put new gasket on and fit cylinder head. cleaned up head bolts with a wire wheel, coated the threads lightly with oil and inserted them in order. Torque them in sequence, first to 25, then to 50 then to 65. Thing is only a couple would click when I got to 65, some of the were either too hard for me to do or felt as if they were spinning just so very slightly... hmmmmm Chucked pushrods in and rocker gear, ended up threading a bolt and screwing up the thread in the head for the bolt, is for the rocker pedastal, second bolt on the right... Will need to get a new bolt see if it will fix it, if not will have to fix thread in the head... the joys of working on cars -__-

Hey Neil Nice to have you on the forums! sweet KE25 mate looks the goods! more pics please :)

KE20 and KE25 use a single tube with two separate bolts one left hand thread and the other right hand thread. Not like KE30 style with the clamps on the tie rod tube which i swapped over to using... Yea I thought id try and seal up the plate save me taking the head off but it was pretty bad leak...

That looks awesome man great work on the build! Best looking KE35 by far man! great work!

Thanks guys... ran into couple problems yesterday... on the rear of the head on the engine there is a plate held by 4 bolts, its just to block up a hole that is is used for 4k engines in other vehicles other then corollas... anyways it was leaking so had to change the gasket, anyway snapped one of the bolts and there was no way to get it out there is like 5cm between head and firewall.. so off came the head, figured id get it reconditioned while it was off, turns out the head was in very good condition and the engine looks pretty good so I'm happy... dropped the head off at Just Heads on port rd, they going to weld up the rear of the head so wont need a plate and wont have any leaks anymore, and also full head recon... so yea... also had a couple of issues with the stock tie rod tubes, ended up using KE30 inner tie rods with the ke30 tie rod tubes, problem is they are very close to the pitman and idler arm... Was missing one reverse thread bolt thats why couldn't use stock tie rods, and no one can seem to get a reverse thread bolt in 14X1.5 pitch -__-

ok so found this picture amongst my collection of pics. Its a TE27 corolla and it has E3# tie rod tubes, not the usual nut and tube E2# style. Now if you have a look at the inner tie rod end u can see that the groove is not in the right place, that means it is a E3# inner tie rod as well... Also shorter then a E2# inner tie rod... Now as a result of using E3# stuff u can see that the tie rod clamp comes very close to the pit-man arm... I think it is off by 5mm or so but very close... Thats the only problem I'm having, should I use the KE3# tie rod tubes or not... hmmm....

thanks towe001 has anyone used ke30 tie rods on a KE2# before? I chucked them on but there is no more adjustment left on the inner and outer tie rod ends... Can solve this by using ke30/55 inner tie rod ends but they are different shape and will hit the pit-man and idler arms...

ok guys I'm wanting to find out the measurements of different tie rod tubes. KE25 tie rod tubes are 110mm without the bolts, 130mm with bolts... also I got what looks like KE30 or KE55 tie rod tubes with the clamps 150mm but can anyone confirm this not sure if there is difference between 30 and 55...

It's in cooma NSW

Honestly your car looks a million bucks now! The new paint and shiny new hayashi streets have done their job! Lovin the build!

Ok so time for an update. Picked the car up from my mates shop. He did the axle swap, apparently had to take off 10mm each axle... Also welded up exhaust, adjusted timing and fixed a few other things engine wise... So drove it home, first drive of the car and I've had it few years now -_- lol Drives good, engine seems healthy, brakes are horrid though think I got a lot of air in the system... Also LSD = confirmed on way home :P Needs a wheel alignment badly, and low low low lol Chucked the rear Advans on and they fill out the guards heaps good... Real happy... Still a bit to do but at least now I can take it easy for a while :)

Spotted JUD in his 2door KE30! On west trc in the city tonight. Damn that was what you call a take off! I'm a rotor guy at heart <3 Thinking about going rotor now lol
