What is the compression ratio of the 7k standard? Nothing better than high compression turbo.....

Ive never been taken advantage of myself, but ive had a few guys buy stuff from me without taking much precautions. Some dude deposited $900 in my account for my old s13 suspension setup without much hesitation. No phone calls, no contact other than a few PMs on ae86dc. I mean it all went well, i sent it down to vic (in 3 huge boxes that cost a damn fortune to send). But i reckon for $900 id want some more contact than the dude did to me. Maybe he had too much money!

Maybe he did send it? Did you request registered post?

Very cool. I think I may have met you many yrs ago when I was helping Peter Stringfellow with some scrutineering at yaraman rally? I think the celica was at its first outing or very close to it?

Unplug the tps and see if its any better.

I was wondering when this thread would surface :P With all the lying and changing of policy I don't know what to believe.

This is awesome.

I'd suggest.... Some good tyres on some nice wheels, replace all worn suspension components with new upgrades stuff. And either do a 4age conversion or carby/cam/exhaust/compression the engine. If you go the 4age way with the tyres/wheels/suspension to do it right you probably will struggle to do it under 5k. My 4age conversion cost me almost 3k!!

How much cash you intend on spending? As you can get a manual jzx100 for about the cost of taking a standard ke70 to something worthwhile having a 1jz in it. I'm not saying don't have a go, it seems to fit alright based on a few photos. But if I wanted a j engine in an 80s car I'd be going something a little bigger. An old ma70 supra or even that celica/supra with the cool over fenders (ra65?? Can't remember). Or even one of those cresidas. If you are keen on getting some details on the ke70/1j though search toy mods for the ae71 panel van with the 1j, he might have a build thread on here not sure but the one on toy mods was very detailed. One of the best/complete conversions I've seen I reckon.

yeah you could just tack weld everything in place then take it somewhere to finish it off.

yeah learn how to weld reasonably well first. An arc welder shouldn't burn through the housing if used correctly. In my limited experiend 3mm is still ok with a arc welder if you are careful. Also migs are pretty awful without gas. If you can get away with arc it's certainly better than a gas less mug.

Sounds a bit like fight club?

Big question is what is it defected for and why do you think it wont pass a roadworthy?

Gday mate, nice lookin car! Here is a good place to start with K motors, http://www.rollaclub.com/wiki/index.php?title=Tech:Engine/K_Series/How_to_build_a_tough_K_motor i think the first paragraph sums it up niceley, but there is some good detail in the above link.

Rotary conversions usually involve cutting stuff. I'm not sure id want to cut stuff on a ke17 sprinter!! Fitting the gearbox in the gearbox tunnel will probably be the trouble.

You can probably steal some off a newer car. It's just gotta be around the same diameter. Run around the wreckers with a tape measure on some springs? There are some on ebay, but from the searches i have done i can't find any to suit corolla http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=Coil+Spring+Insulator&LH_PrefLoc=1

Is it at all possible, that under large amounts of vacuum, it is enough to pull the throttle open? It sounds rediculous, but how on earth does a throttle with a huge spring open by itself? I like that photo! one day ill have cool carbies.

That a big snake! What type of snake is it? a nasty one?

Of the titanic? if its a K engine, I'm going to guess 19 or 21.

yeah i hear ya on the audiophile valve technology, i run a valve DAC at home...and one day ill have that turntable.

Mechanical keyboard sounds suspiciously like a 1980s keyboard with individual microswitches. commonly known as the...tick tick tick tick tick keyboard. Then we were all amazed at the new type of keyboard that was silent and gave a nice soft touch when you pressed it. now we want tactile noisy keyboards again. Are we just doing the loop in keyboard "technology"?

Probably because it doesnt fit properly?

why couldn't they just put the bumper on straight :(
