  7. 3K-C 3K-H 4K-C Engine Build

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    use the 4K...

     

    Then remove the 3K's head get head faced valves cleaned up and slap it on 4K best combo.

     

    Will also know condition of engine to then.

     

    Head clean up on old 8 valve gear is dirt cheap to so ring around you should get a good deal pretty easily.

     

    As for the head to use id go 3K-H I think not sure they don't have the shit house exhaust ports (casting differs on K heads here one is crap other good) so compair them pick the best.

  8. Where To Get 5K Hd Valve Springs?

    in General Mechanical

    Posted

    Hi,

    Heads up number is on here I have posted it before but off top of my head 5K valve springs are 9lbs more load than normal 3/4/1/2K springs. So if you have heaps of lift yes might die but wont be quick.

     

    And my stock 5K springs I run max lift a stock spring will take I got cam ground to .400" lift I have seen 7500+ and still going.......so id save the cash wait till you can get a good crow cam set done.

  9. Is This A Good Buy?

    in Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    19914afc I agree with that. I buy parts from Toyotra and have scored a few throw out bargins. But it cost them to keep stock on the shelf so after two years BIN.

     

    But I scored a brand spanking new un used bearings not "final" ground yet 4K crank for $80 from Toyota they were about to launch it into the skip so I bought it. Its now being made up for my 5K so they do throw a lot out. Thats why I always ask when I'm in at Toyota for old K parts see if they found some on the shelf there about to tip.

  10. Stolen Car

    in Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    Any KE1X can be stolen with 1 paper clipa nd a steel ruller thats from door unlocked to car running in minutes.

     

    So if Iever drive my KE15 anywhere I pull rotor button out the dizzy. Wont start then if they keep trying the flood it. Wont stop them towing it but a "broken down" car isnt tempting to most theifs also..

    ^^^ Second that.

     

    A few verients of KE1X had front disc brakes a few different brands and specs to.

     

    In all the parts catalouge I have on KE1X there was a stock LSD for the small diff they had. Factory no TRD. So if it is LSD will jsut be a stock one. When I get time ill scan the page for you.

  13. 3T-C Mikuni Solex Twins Major Internal Issues

    in General Mechanical

    Posted

    Solex are good carbs IF done right.

     

    I use a set there are different models only ONE 1 type suffered wiggleing lose parts. This is solved by design change of the venturies.

     

    As for parts etc wolf creek or RM will sort you out. Not cheap I spent well over 1K getting mine sorted but once set never had to touch them. It would have been cheaper for me to go webber or another brand but I used Solex for they come from Japan and suited my build better.

     

    But by the looks of your compression test engine might be out of steam.

     

    Note. If you were cranking on a battery doing compression test from cyclinder 1-4 by the time you got to 3 the battery might have been a little weak not cranking the motor as fast tus giving a lower reading. Make sure you have a good strong crank of the engine during the whole test. Test is useless if you don't as you jsut added another factor that will change results.

     

    So try again if not @T/3T motors seem to be all the go :)

  14. Ke Rear Brake Backing Plates

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted · Edited by camerondownunder88

    :bash:

    I read front...you typed rear...so my info is useless but still handy.

     

    Hi Terry,

    can't tell you exact bolt spacing but the KE15 I run I removed the front discs and fitted KE70 discs with KE70 calipers on KE30 backing plates.

     

    All early corollas have the same square bolt pattern KE1X,2X,3X. 55 and up they changed.

     

    Only difference KE30 uses bigger bolts to hold plate on.

     

    Also when fitting brakes KE1X struts need drilling and re-tapping for the larger bolts.

     

    Cheers

  15. Very Interesting Engine Design

    in Rollaclub Social (Off-Topic)

    Posted

    Problem with a lot of gas turbine cars is A) a lot of gas turbine engines some how come from miltary applications thus when the military asked for their engines back the chrysler turbine car progress was halted other wise id be driving one.

     

    There are a few other reasons they are not put into cars in the main stream world but Id have one tomorrow if I could (on the road that is). The HP and Torque from them would make for such a nice drive.

  17. Ke10-20 Engine Mounts

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    On my KE15 I had clearence issues with a set of cheap extractors once and I used a KE30/55/70 passenger side engine mount. Will bolt in and this uprioghts the motor a little so helps with carbie clearence etc and possibly turbo clearence in your case.

     

    As for mounts if you have a broken KE mount remove the rubber on the passenger one and the part that bolts to the engine has the flat metal area where rubber once was. Drill a hole through the centre or where you need it and fit a ford escort round rubber moun t. They are the right thickness and you can pick best position on mount to drill hole to align it and fits straight in.

     

    Cheers

  19. Upright 4K

    in General Mechanical

    Posted

    Hi,

    There is a listing for a K50 with twisted bell housing but NEVER seen one.

     

    When engine is up righted pushes gear stick towards drivers so jsut a matter of bending it away from driver.

     

    Up righting though puts gearbox drain up higher so if you need to remove gearbox oil easier to pull bottom plate.

     

    As for plate it is to do as said above give better inlet length and more bolts to hold it all together things get heavy adn carry a lot of load when they are so far away from the motor.

     

    Bit of insperation below:

    post-1811-0-04828900-1313154904_thumb.jpg

    To give you an idea of length (photo makes them look small) from base plate to top of trumpet is 298mm. With no gaskets so with gaskets about 300mm so make inlet long and STRAIGHT :)

    Also for TRD motor improves oil drain back off the K motor head to sump a HEAP.

  20. I'Ve Got This Crazy Idea For A Daily

    in Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    Just read this so ill add my 3cents.

     

    As a push bike rider (road and dirt) I know I can do 60km/hr (60.2 is record on speedo for flats) for a set period. And my bike not a cheap one but its brakes are more than adequate for pulling me up. And mtb you can get 4 piston hydraulic calipers with 180mm or bigger rotors and calipers run ceramic pistons to withstand heat so brakes on a bike no problem. Look at what pocket rockets have.

     

    In saying that in QLD I know there is a law for Kw in electric bikes. can't be over 200W or 0.2Kw. I looked into this as for very very cheap you can buy 2Kw in hub electric motors STACKS of torque good Lipo battery pack and zoom around for hours up to speeds exceeding 60km/h.

     

    Also I got busted for pocket bike on the road it was 49cc so mmm not sure for petrol but wont be allowed much I don't think.

     

    Cheers

  22. Twin Su'S Manifold For 3K

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    Hi,

    SU manifodls can be hard to get so go over old thread see what you find unsold.

     

    But my best score for my old SU's was went to a swap meet going througha mini restorers parts and he had UNKNOWN manifold $10....I knew what it was 3K :)

     

    So try mini guys or datto guys they usually want the carbies not the manifold and might find a good bargin I know I have that way a few times to......

     

    As for gear drive TRD made one for cam apparently was known to strip teeth. Used oil mist for lube prob really needed oil jet lube but never had it so doubt you will find one if you did Id not use it ..lol

  23. Heres Something You don't Here Everyday

    in Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    I have a similar story.

     

    Day I got ym KE15 on the road I took it straight to the original owner who I got it from. As he wanted to see it if... it ever got back on the road.

     

    At first I though one had past as in the phone book they were only listing the wife :(

     

    But get there and both alive. But I parked car where they couldnt see it from the front door and it took about 5min to get them to remember me and come out side and not fear for their lives.

     

    But as soon as they saw the car they pretty much zimmered as fast as they could to it and LOVED how I had got it back on the road when they thopugh it was to old and gone.

     

    They started telling me stories and then called their neighbour over also 70+ and started showing him the car that was from all the stories they told him etc....

     

    Bout an hour later I left. They said it made there year so yeah I think some original owners like seeing their cars again when their old.

  25. Carby'S!

    in Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    Found a second freak...... ME

     

    I am a fan of Solex's. Now the common man knows Solex that came on the 2T-G motor that fell apart :(

     

    Now if you do your reserch you will find not all Solex fall apart :) They updated the design adn you can get ones that were never OEM and were more designed for racing etc. Some types of Solex are:

     

    S5, S4, T, R, etc.

     

    I use solex. So far I have hit $1200. I have 2 fully rebuilt with base tune. This includes my fuel setup, manifolds, linkages, gaskets, spacers, ram tubes, filter socks, carbies.

     

    I was anal on the over haul of my carbies I got ALL NEW jets and idle screws floats gaskets everything from Japan. I lapped carbies square and to same height I polished them etc EVERYTHING. Took over 6months to do but well worth it.

     

    So any option you go with for carbies will cost big $$ to get going right. But as said above set and forget :)

     

    Cheers

    Cameron
