Hello. A friend of mine owns a ke20 that has a weird problem. It only make spark when letting go of the key. When he flips the key to start it there is no spark. But when he lets go of the key there is one spark. We have checked ignition switch and coil. Is has a 3kh engine with electrical ignition instead of points. Any tips? there is a ballast resistor att the coil. When he turns the ignition on it shows constant 9v in on the ballast and 7 out to the coil . Can i try to bypass it to check if the ballast is the problem?

Thank you. Gonna start looking att it later today maybe. I have 10 fuses. I think it was only power on horn and lighter fuse

Hello. So I am currently in the prosess of putting My Ke25 back together after years in a shed. The problem I am having is that there is a few things that don’t work. The blinkers, wipers and revers lights don’t work. (Probably more things😂) But The hazzards work. If i remember correctly, i have voltage only on 2 fuses in the fuseblock. Cigarett and something Else i can’t remember. No power on either side of the fuse for blinkers or wipers. Where do i start to look?:). Electricity and wireing is not My strongest side 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

It is fixed now :). I had done a sloppy job with grounding the engine to chassis. So i made som new cables and added one more, and it seems to be fixed now finally had the first start up

Follow up question about the alternator wiring.. I found out where those 3 wires should go on the alternator. But when i crank the engine over on the starter, the white wire with black stripe get super hot. One time when i tried cranking the engine over a little to long it burned up, so i had to install a new wire. Any ideas why? i can see tojo2 has mentioned that it might be ground. Could it mean that my ground to engine is not good enough?

again, thank you for all the help. But i was actually lucky and found a thinner radiator among my parts that fitted the corolla so that problem was a easy fix But now i have another question.. Can anyone tell me which wire goes where on the alternator? The connector was destroyed years ago, so I'm just left with lose wires 😅 Here is also acouple of extra photos of my project. Hopefully get it painted this summer. this is the color I'm going for . ral1021, rapeyellow

thanks for your replies. I'm gonna go with original radiator and electric fan for now i think. And upgrade to alu radiator when the car is finished and ready for upgrades

Hello. I have a 1971 Corolla Ke25 that i have installed a 2tg in. Everyone i have talked to said that My original radiator would fit But it doesnt. To small space between front of the car and the fan. I run a clutch fan: is that the problem or do i have to run another radiator?😆

Hello. Did the ke20/25 come with different styles of swaybar? I have a ke25 that I'm installing a 2tg into, and it has a straight swaybar and it seems extremly tight fit. Had the same engine in a ke20 some years ago with a different swaybar that cleared the oil pan easy.. Do i need to change my swaybar or modify it? Anyone with ke2x with 2t and straight swaybar that knows if it will fit with some fiddling?

Hmm i checked now. This is exactly the same measurements As in My ke25

Ok. I already have a te71 Gt Axle in My Ke25. But I'm not able to measure it today and i can't remember the width I'm starting to wonder if i should go for another stronger Axle. Maybe a Volvo axle, But Thea are 1370mm wide. The car is Getting a 2tg turbo that was dynoed at 230rwhp. or are there any other options for a strong axle that fits the Corolla better? I'm not going for fender flares

Does anyone know width of a rear Axle from te71 Gt?

Thank you!! This will definitely help me

I have a ke25 that is getting a 2tg and a t50 trans. Does anyone know if i need to move my shifter hole backwards? if so, how much? I can just check it myself by putting the engine and trans in, but saving myself some work if someone here knows it already :D

where i live it is hard to come by early ke20 parts, or ke20 parts at all. Thats why I'm asking for ke30 springs. They are much easier to find around here

HMm. Could i just use a later leaf and make a sleeve? I have heard people mention This solution But don't know if it is doable

Thank you for the reply. What is the different in the early and later ke25 leafs`?? Are the bushing in the front bigger? or hole in the bushing bigger?? Not possible to use late leaf on early car without cut and weld?? No one here knows if ke30 leafs fit??

Does leaf spring from any other toyota fit my 71 ke25? Does it fit from a ke36?

Hello. Is the leaf springs on ke25 the same as ke20? Are there any other toyota i can use leaf springs from on My ke25?

Hello:) I'm currently building a ke25 with a 2tg turbo engine. I will use a t293 Axle from a te71gt. But This is wider then the ke25 Axle. So My question is, Do i have to run flares or will i be able to tuck some wheels under the fender? Question 2: Does anyone know if air shocks are available for This car? quation 3: Does a ke20 fuel tank fit the ke25?:)

i have a ta12 parts car that I'm gonna take the rear axle and put on my ke25. But does any frontsuspension parts fit? When swapping rear axle the boltpattern changes so i need to change on the front aswell. Would be easy if anything fits from the ta12 since i have everything

i hope i can get away with modifying the sump. Gonna post some pictures when i start test fitting and modifying parts,

i guess people wont like this but.. Volvo engine :o

Have anyone here made custom draglink in ke20/25? i want do see some pictures. I need to lower mine or make a custom one in my ke25 because of the engine I'm putting in. Clearance issues. I'm looking for some tips and tricks

Still need help on how to remove the door chrome trim? :D
