yes thats me :P (catch can isnt smoking anymore!)

Thanks guys for the help, I've been looking around for Borg Warner diff, however they're from cars beside ke70s. Should I stay away from them or will they bolt up as well?

I took the catch can out and hosed it down, so I think I cleaned it pretty well. What do you recommend I should do? Am I not supposed to take out the catch can because of the air filter?

Could you tell me what's wrong with the airfilter and why it would need a catch can?

Thanks guys for the help, so if get rid of the catch can, do I do the following? Ie: take the catch can out and put the hose where the arrow is? (where the other catch can hose was going)

Just did some research, most of the causes of blowby is through the piston rings? Is there any other reasons as to what causes blowby?

Hi tojo thanks for your reply. Could you explain what you mean by, S, T, U? and from what I've been told by the previous owner, the ke70 has a t50 gearbox, will any of the standard Borg Warner bolt up with the the drives haft?

Hey guys again! I had a look at my differential, I'm just wondering if any if you guys know what it is, and what I should be looking for as a replacement . I heard I had a t18 diff which should have 10 bolts, however this diff has 8. Any help would be awesome!

Hey guys update on the catch can, I empty all the residue in the catch can put it back in. However it's still smoking! Does anyone know what else could cause this issue? I recorded a clip of it, I'll put the link up when I upload it on YouTube. Thanks guys!! Here's the video!

Thank you pete once again for your help. I actually bought a set of stock ke70 lower control arms and steering arms. I could just replace the xt130 with the ones i bought right?

Hi guys, i have a question with regards to my ke70. When i purchased my ke70, it already had a 3t motor and a t50 5 speed gearbox, the car has a locked diff and cut and shut knuckles. I was hoping to replace these 2 to there stock form. I was just wondering what type of diff will i need to get for this setup and as well as the steering arms, will stock ke70 steering arms fit? Thanks in advance for the help.

thanks LittleRedSpirit for sharing your info, could i just confirm, are steering knuckles and steering arms the same? Nevertheless ill start with replacing the steering arms to a stock ke70 steering arm first. Also, If i were to get a AE86 steering arm, does it just bolt straight on?

Thanks once again parrot for your help, really appreciate it. So what youre saying is, by replacing the steering arms, i would see less stiffness in the steering wheel?

While i was driving back home with my ke70, one thing i noticed was tight the steering wheel was! I understand it has no power steering but I'm not sure if this is normal. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but the car has cut and shut knuckles (which I'm not too familiar with). Is there any reason as to why my steering wheel feels really tight? is this with most ke70's? Thanks once again, any help would be awesome

Thanks parrot for your help once again! ill definitely empty the canister and hopefully it wont smoke up any more.

Thank you coln72 for your help. Is it normal for the catch can to smoke up?

Hi there, so I just got my 1985 ke70 as a project car. I'm really new to cars so I don't have my experience on parts within the engine bay. Could any of you guys help me tell me what this part is? I believe it's the air filter, however the reason why I'm questioning it is because when I drove it back home, there was smoke coming out from that area. There was so leakage around that area so I'm pretty sure that's whats causing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Apologies in advanced for the poor photo Ps: my ke70 only has a right side view mirror, is that normal?

What diff would you recommend me getting?

Thanks Parrot and altezzaclub for the response. What I'm initially thinking is swap the current welded diff out into a stock diff so i can get the RWC and register my car and then put back the welded diff on. Do you you reckon getting a whole rear end would make it easier? and if i were looking for rear end from a AE86 for example how easy would it be to bolt on to the ke70?

Thanks parrot for your help, could you explain why i would need a slide hammer? So I'm on the same page as you are, ill have to remove the entire rear end in order to fit in a new differential?

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum let alone cars in general so i apologise in advanced if my lingo sounds bad. I'm purchasing my first ke70 as a project car, the car has a locked differential (which i assume is the same as a welded differential), obviously locked differentials are illegal in victoria however if i were to register this car how easy would it be to swap a differential to make it roadworthy? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
