while at it , does one from an e90 sedan fit?

is it possible to use an E90 sedan radiator into a ke50 liftback with 2tb engine?

Is this transmission a t50? Its locally for sale and i need the shaft. Looks like it at first glance. Thanks

hi before I make a bid on this, just want to ask if its correct to fit the T50 into a ke50 liftback http://www.ebay.com/itm/301468854705?item=301468854705&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:B:WNA:GB:1653&vxp=mtr#shpCntId

doing a ke50 practically from scratch. after sorting driveline, I'm going for the suspension to sort next. So from what I am reading here I can swap an entire suspension and brake setup from an ae86, right. Wonder if you can stick the 86's power steering rack too. That would be an added bonus

what about from 3rd gen celicas? and can you just hook up power steering rack from them too?

The car was bought without engine and transmission, tailshaft, radiator, battery etc.. and having stood abandoned for sone time. brake and suspension systems need upgrading too. so since I am practically starting from scratch all the above needs to be donem would have been easier of coursrle throwing a 4 0r 5k but a dohc motor is a better starting point. even with the k motor, I would still have spent €€€ on upgrades.

to be honest, i am only using the 5a-fe as I already have it after buying it by mistake for my daily 1998 starlet(mistaking it for a 5e-fe!!) I tried unsuccessfully selling it to buy a 5k, so I decided to use it instead of leaving it lying around. I already have a T50 for it(although without shifter). The engine originally had an auto tranny, so I will need a flywheel and clutch kit. That's not the main problem. what is worrying me is dizzy and water in/out elbows relocation. Even if i did find a 4a-ge, in all probability it would have been a fwd version, so the nightmare wouldn' t have been less grevious. the guy in the link you gave me had something even more complicated by using 4wd transmission!!!! at least I'm not into that. btw what is a T18?

sounds interesting. looking into p's for my ke50

hi guys, got a 5a-fe lying around and decided to use it on my ke50. got 2 problems however. The distributor and water inlet and outlet will be at the back on a FR mounting. Any one here swapped a FF motor in a FR car pls who can help?

got a FWD 5a-fe (jdm-only motor)so when mounted in RWD setup, exhaust mani is on your right(when you look from in front of the car). is that the correct position please? don't want to blow €300 away!! Thanks

Thats great news!! got a 5a-fe lying around. Will it bolt straight on it?

hi I came across this topic while doing some research for engine options in my KE50. I bought a KE50 w/o motor and tranny some months back. I also have a 5a-fe lying around, buying it by mistake for my daily 1998 Starlet(mistaking it for a 5E-fe). After putting the engine for sale and found no buyers, I am toying with the idea of putting it into my KE50. I know it needs(obviously) a rwd tranny. I saw this http://www.maltapark.com/item.aspx?ItemID=3538296 and can't recognize it unfortunately. If its a T50, will it bolt straight on the 5a-fe? also like the idea of swapping the plenum for bike carbs

http://www.maltapark.com/item.aspx?ItemID=3538296 saw this in a local classified site. anyone recognize it pls? thanks

got one myself. doors, both sides, are very bad. The cowl panel has the LH corner missing, some corrosion in the 1st 10cm of the sills. Engine compartment, bottom and trunk pretty straight. It had a 1NT swap at some time

we had a few of them around, so would probably find one. If not, how about that of a ke20? I know of a dismantled one

Due to scarcity of above, can a rad from a 1990s Starlet/Tercel be fitted instead?, given the vast availibity of such vehicles' parts locally

scott's old rubber don't list them either.:( know of any european (preferably) manufacturer of universal rubber seals?

sorry, i meant TE37 not 27. got a link pls? thanks

Hi Anyone can confirm if Ke50 front windshield rubber seal identical to that of a Ke35/Te27?? Thanks and regards

Hello From Malta, just bought this rusty relic. Will post a separate build thread shortly

wish mine was anywhere near that! nice ride mate!

Hi Is a ke50 front windshield, and so its weatherstrip, identical to that of a ke35? Thanks
