so all those corollas out there.... thousands driving around and about 20 responded to the roll call is there any suggestions on how to make this site a little better known! Ive got one..........why stop at STICKERS. those people that make stickers usually also make business cards 500 cards cost bugger all. hows this.......but a sticker and get 20 cards with it......then a good member would not throw those cards away but would give them to other corolla onwers they meet or see at shopping centre car park or bloody where ever. time to think about how all you WA guys could get enough cars together to have a CRUISE and be noticed as a CAR ENTHUISIASTS.......BUT FOR COROLLAS. so respond with ideas that could boost members.....and rememeber I'm old not ancient but still like a good corolla old corolla bloke

I know it was a down draft weber......which one I had on the shelf and MADE it fit with an adaptor I can't remember get a second std hand manifold cut flange off weld new on hey presto weber fit, and now play with cable easy old corolla bloke

over many years I used a variety of different cams.......mostly sourced in australia doing this in the belief we aussies ARE a capable lot. well in the main we are BUT!!! the cams which performed with the best driveabilty were all made and ground overseas the trd were good but not great as they tended to be top end and when cam timing was advanced to bring them down out of the cloud revs wise. other problems occured the best and last k series cam I ever bought was a 1yy grind from toyota sport great britain......now gone bust.....but the cam was made by PIPER from thier magnum range and was a 40/76. just a great all rounder strong mid range and big nuts at the top. you don't know me and ive since sold the cam so you can't compare however I assure you you would not be disappointed old corolla bloke

with out seeing the car running its a bit hard to guess what it wrong BUT here is a stab i think your float level is a bit high or if you have an electric pump the fuel pressure from the pump is excessive try a regulator between the pump and the carby holley do a good,cheap simple one i hope this helps old corolla bloke

nuh its not going to piss on it......the 4ac can be made to go hard.very hard!! and with only minimal work. my wifes ae71 of some years ago was a rocket that always wanted to rev. the biggest inhibiting factor is the carby. get a bigger one and there is a good difference later electronic ignition better coil pay particular attention to the area of the manifold immediatly below the carby. actually adding devcon to better radius the bend will increase the flow standard exhaust manifold is crap a costly effort at custom making did wonders BUT oh the pain...must be a cheap way some where a small cam if you want....very mild was mine no internal mods a slight lump in the idle, standard airbox....cops thought it was an out of tune standard car it would be a dam good 3k or 4k with twins that would beat it there is another alternative......bit of work though.....get a bunkyT18 and swap everything. very torquey with head shave, extractors 2.25 exhaust and weber old corolla bloke

so you used the standard rubber section of the mount? didnt you have to remake the steel section that bolts to the block? i remember the angle was wrong and the rubber would die after a short time........maybe you did some thing different to me

I think that car should be a 4K not a 3K.....any way about 25/65 on the stock carby. problem is the fuel bowl capacity. they dry the bowl in second gear with a big cam. try a 7K with twin webers that will entertain you for a while or chuck in a 3T old corolla bloke

I can help with a manifold for twin webers on a t series and a pair of carbs ....wont be $1600 bucks either......hmmm datrally was usually for a DATSUN and is a copy or the works nissan competion manifold. don't think it would fit but if you want one I got one of those too, actually I know it wont fit. but I'm an old smart arse. any way engine mounts are custom made but not that hard extractors are half custom you can use the top half of a set of the old sonics 4into 2 into 1 that is the 4 into 2 section the make a new bottom bit. try cambletown exhaust for sonics but they probably arent called that 20 years later!! wiring is pretty easy as most of the parts are on the same side as the k series ...you will need to do some extensions but its not that hard. don't RUSH IT....this will take a few days so boorow the car for 2 weeks old corolla bloke

just a thought .....if mums chucked out the wiring you need go to a wrecker and remove the wiring you need and make note of where it goes as you do it old corolla bloke

Ive got a manifold $220 its yours, you pay postage probably around $25 got carbs too if needed old corolla bloke

try to find some 2TB twin carbies they were plentiful 10 15 years ago.......nobody wanted them because we all used twin webers. depends on how fast you want to go!! horsepower cost money. the t series is a capable engine in that car Id stick with it. Ive read every post in this topic and there are a few that raised my eyebrows a bit. you can bore a 2T / 3T to 89mm.......down side last use of the block and custom made head gaskets are now alittle hard to get on a weekend. try for the 88.5mm from toms but still needs a custom head gasket. a 3t crank will fit into a 2T block with the use of a die grinder and a few hours ......no big deal now just whacking a twin cam head on a push rod block is a bit more trouble as basically you need a donor twin cam for the timing cover manifold carbies etc etc. easier to put a 3T crank into the twin cam 2TG.......remember the die grinder!!! theres been a few comments concerning compression from people whom obviously havent done the conversion.....its fine but will need at least premium to run on. my 2cents is take a standard 3t put some 2TB carbs on and drive it to death ,the engine swap in the car is so quick a toddler could do it as every thing interchanges....well most any way shave the head 30 thou or 50thou if your going to put in a cam you can spend a bucket of money on this motor and get pretty good horsepower even by todays standards but its really not worth it in the long run.

I must ask...... why would you go lower if it already scrapes? Try wilkinson suspension centre for cost of springs old corolla bloke

Hi well the guys a cypher will do a good job......however if I may I would like to offer some advice. I have owned three 20valve conversion which I did myself and a GZE or two allong the way as well also done myself. from a modification perspective yes the GZE will yield more mid range and top end power a little easier than a 20v BUT in terms of a user friendly engine the 20v has it all over the GZE. I seriously urge you to consider a black top 20v over the GZE. my two cents but Ive converted at least ten and would say that of the ones I did for other people the 20v retained ownership the longest. food for thought. if you would like pm me a number and i will call ..... old corolla bloke

hi folks to all you Perth guys, Ive got an ae 80 that I got some bits off for my daughters car that will shortly be going to the crusher. some parts will be free and others will be cheap. these are same or similar to a lot of ae82 if you need something try me old corolla bloke

don't know if youve tried this................new here ke30 sumitomo calipers and backing plate will bolt to the ke 20 hub with out redrilling. that way u get a slightly bigger disc 1" or so...was good on the old rally car anyway. use mazda rims to over come the increased size 110pcd old corolla bloke

Hi Ive done quite a few conversions on 20v into both 92 and 82 corollas and even ze rwd conversions we also had fun getting a 3sgte in and going but no recommending taht ever again!!!. I maybe able to help you it depends on how much work you want to do yourself pm me a number Ill get back to you old corolla bloke
