ca18de in a ke70

hey guys...i am just a few weeks from summer break and i have to start looking for a job.....i am gonna do some changes/mods to my ke70 with ca18...This are some ideas : 1) Swapping in a gearbox for the ca18de 2)swapping in a ca18det (depending if my budget allows) 3) swapping in an SR20DE (manual) I am leaning more towards the 3rd option ..... Fat Bastard has been giving some good info.....

also what bout the cross members...were they custom made or did u have to do a slight fabrication ??

was the SR20 vvl hard to install and how was the fabrication for the engine mounts??..was the wiring tricky??...what did u use to actuate the solenoid for the vvl??

got back my car and here is what i did: engine: changed timing belt change alternator belt swapped in NGK platinum tip tune it used synthetic oil sealed a piece of the tappet pan rubber car: changed rear shocks to tokico gas changed front disc pads changed drum brakes pad added new brakes fluid the engine working REALLLY top class now....i love it.... when summer comes i gonna see what next i can do...

took my car for a tune up..not getting it back until tomorrow...the mechanic said he will look into the diff for me....

the hilux diff offers good results??...it holds up well to the SR??...a silvia diff would have been too wide to fit u think??

hey guys gonna install a fuel pressure regulator soon....its supposed to be set at 28psi right??...should i put it a bit higher so that the engine wont lean out or starve for fuel??

whats the update on the project??

i tried finding out what type of diff my ke70 has but to no avail....the owner's manual didnt have it ( or perhaps i overlooked it somewhere)...can someone help me out here??

thought so about the diff with an SR20.....i read a thread concerning hilux diffs....the older ones are better to use since their ratio varies from 3.5 to 5.3 ( can't remember exact numbers).....

yea...with single cams i believe......4age bottom end is tough...

4age head + 4ac bottom end = 4age 16 valve engine...am i right?? ..i second that....shouldnt the AE 71 and AE 72 parts be interchangeable also??

ooo right...pressure plate,release bearing,clutch...all of that suppose to come with the gearbox right??...someone on one of my local forums suggested the axles and springs....

is this what i need for a auto to manual swap? gearbox shifter mounts manual axles manual springs crossmember pedals master cylinder slave cylinder ca18de manual ecu anything i missed out???

thanks KE70kid.....7shades is right..the ke70 already has an ca18 in and it would be easier to swap in an SR....soo I'm sticking with swappin in a gearbox to the CA18 or taking that out and putting in an SR...gonna talk to my mechanic this weekend....if i swap an RB20DE(T) gearbox with the CA18DE,can't i just swap in either an CA18DET or SR20DE(T) engine only (later on though) since the RB20 can handle the torque??

thanks loveke70.....convertin a 4age from FWD to RWD is worth it in your opinion???

i gonna check around for an RB20 gearbox for the ca18...i would like to know if the manual ca18 ecu can work with it or not?? (i know its not a toyota question,sorry guys)

i asked on my local forum who has converted a FWD 4age into RWD and only one person has so far...he did it in a charmant...i read the noob sticky on 4age...REALLY good stuff

i checked out ajps site....have any of u guys ordered anything from it?? can u tell me bout his service cuz for the longest while i have been searchin for sway bars for the KE70....his price is quoted in YEN?? (dumb question)....

i read that the 4agze came in the ae86..so I'm gonna check around to see if i can get a price on that engine.....i wonder for the guys who selling for it on this site if i can order stuff from them???...I'm worried bout shipping....can anyone clear up this for me...thankss

i read that an RB20 or SR20 RWD gearbox can work with the CA18 engine...so if i use an RB20 gearbox (since its stronger)..what ECU to use??...if i use the CA18 manual ecu with the RB20 gearbox would i get any problems??

hey guys and girls...gonna talk to my mechanic bout what should be my next move...i plan either 1) Put in a gearbox with the ca18 and later on use performance clutches,chipped ecu etc and see how that goes or 2) Swap in an SR20DE with gearbox and just mod later (parts for the SR cheap and plentiful over here) what u guys think??

isnt the 4AGZE FWD?? I am thinkin for now to change the diff and put a "short" diff like a lancer GSR 1800 with LSD with disc brakes...what u guys think??

that makes sense love ke70...it doesnt really make sense to drop in displacement from a 1.8 to a 1.6.....its possible to turbo a supercharged engine from toyota cuz i know nissan did it with the superturbo march engine MA09ERT..here are some of its stats... Engine specification: MA09ERT Air cooled intercooler Water cooling serial 4 cylinder engines Total cubic displacement: 930㏄ Combustion chamber form: Semi- globose Valve: SOHC(single over head cam) Cylinder distance: 66.0mm×68.0mm ( bore Compression ratio: 7.7:1 The highest output (net) (ps/rpm): 110ps at 6400rm Largest torque (kgm/rpm): 13.3kgm at 4800rpm Fuel consumption rate (g/ps h)/(rpm): 255/1200 Engine Size (length ## width ## height) (mm): 705mm×575mm×680mm, Service weight (kg): M/T approximately 111kg (MT car) this engine here is like gold here in trinidad....its a top seller....lol i will ask around in my local forum bout the 4AGZE engine and parts availabilty and do some research into the engine specs etc.......

i just read the pinned topic of a 4AG in KE70.....i was wondering bout fitting a 4AG 20V FWD in the ke70....would i lose out on any power or should i stick with the SR20??....i would have to convert the FWD to RWD...I'm wondering if its worth it??...cuz i can get a 4AG 20V FWD since its just the RWD thats impossible to get here....
