The TA22 rubber section was used, and the steel sections were fine as standard. In the 2 years I had the car I never had a problem with this conversion, not even when I went 3T-C. In regards to suspension here are some ideas for you 1. Using standard Girlock callipers and PBR discs DBA make a slotted disc. VN rear disc pads fit in Girlock front callipers, Bendix make a wider variety of pads for the VN commo than the rolla. If a PBR master cylinder is fitted then you can upgrade to a VN master, its either a 15/16" or 1" master. 2. Using MX62/MX73 Cressida front struts Oval out the rear hole for the steering arm (approximately 3mm) to create a slot, the front hole stay intact. Use KE30 top spring plate and strut tops KE 30 spirngs can be used but a pair of custom springs would be better. Short stroke shock are available. MX rubber brake lines bolt onto KE30 metal lines. If a PBR master cylinder is fitted then you can upgrade to a VN master, its either a 15/16" or 1" master. You then have the added advantage of; larger vented brakes, larger wheel bearing to support larger wider wheel. For the rear, I suggest one of two options. 1. Add extra leafs to the rear 2. Purchase a new set of leafs from Aurora Springs in SA, you can buy them reset lowered too. 3 For rear shocks contact AJPS about the rear shock in their panel van, they should be alright in any KE.

A 2T motor is really easy to fit into KE30-55 What I used in ,y last conversion. - TA22 Engine mounts on the standard X-member - TA22 Pedal box bolts into KE30 - TA22/23/RA23 clutch master - TA22 clutch slave - AE71 gearbox X-member - Cut down KE30 tailshaft (30mm shorter) - TA22 T50 gearbox Umm I think thats it, if I have missed anything let me know.

If I wanted to do away with my Booster in my KE30 what would be a good option? Keep in mind I want to do a twin sidedraught 2T or 2TG down the track, I will also upgrade my brakes with some slotted replacement disc from DBA and VN rear pads in the front.

I use to have a Tercel (God rest its soul), I think the rear diff was a Jap 292, just like what is found in Corolla's.

81 - 83 toyota camry front shocks will fit and are 2 inches shorter than stock RA40 shocks.

On the up side they could use the ZZ motors to power such an 86 return, however Toyota would have to update the body and safety of the shell, regardless of base model features.

Actually you can put a 2T-G head on a 3T-C. You need to retard the exhaust cam to the last dowel hole on the camshaft, it still works well. PM Batesy TE70 about the details, as he did it to one of his motors.

If you mean - like working a 3K, I do but then again I am a fruit cake. Slowly but surely I am devising my engine package, that should piss all over a 4ac

Yeah man its been done, and quite recently. Chris from AJPS has a turbo 3T-c. Its is a blow through set up with a custom box put on top of the 32/36 weber. The exhaust is a 3T-GTE item as well as the turbo. The oil feed is a T piece off they pressure switch. The return line is brazed into the sump - as the 3T has no return on the block unlike the 3T-GTE. The timing is locked, vacuum lines also removed, timing set at 17 degrees BTDC. It runs fine except for the fact the car has a suspected head gasket problem which was prior to the turbo conversion. The car was running better before the points and spark plugs were replaced, I suspect the gaps on the plugs have to be redone.

Sorry to disappoint but Pacemaker is not interested in making headers for the corolla.

If you are after some performance, I suggest you should try my next motor I am building for my KE30. 3K Turbo Its pretty simple really. bore 60 thou chrome moly rings stock flat top pistons - ceramic coated top and Teflon coated side skirts (adds to piston life) standard crank - balanced standard flywheel - remove 2 kg and balanced 8.5cr 4K head - ceramic coated valves, port matching, new valve springs (25 pounds stiffer than stock) standard intake and exhaust manifolds port matched to head - exhaust manifold is single plane type. turbo manifold - J pipe steam pipe 45mm inside dia, from exhaust manifold to turbo mounted forward of engine. custom pipe work from turbo to custom carby box, mounted to 32/36 Weber for blow through application. Turbo is a T20 from Nissan N12 Exa / ET Turbo (mine has been high flowed, now same A/R as T25) Timing is simple, lock advance plates in dizzy (weld them), and remove vacuum advance line(s), will be running approx. 20 degrees before TDC Fuel will be a 10psi carter fuel pump - (as a rule of thumb for any blow through carby set up, run 3 psi more fuel than boost.) Clutch will be a Exceedy HD. Hope that sparks some interest for you. I was inspired by my mate 3T-C turbo set up in a T18. Cheers Dale J.

My brother seems to think that the SC14 should handle the job ok. He has had experience with a supercharged 18RG on LPG.

Leaf springs are a progressive spring rate, hence the reason the leaves are different lengths. I want a constant spring rate, hoping by using 3 main leafs (2 with loops cut off) and one no.3 leaf.

A roots blower is ok but it can't force much air as there are only two 4 lobes (2 pairs) inside. The roots blower design started way back when they were originally used on diesel motors. CON - they are not designed to spin fast, therefore are a more inefficent way to supercharge PRO - cheap to maufacture The centrifugal blower on the other hand is a turbo compressor housing connected to a gearbox (single speed - steps up revolutions) and to a pulley. This type of blower can really spin hard, I have heard as much a 80,000rpm CON - expensive to manufacture PRO - extremely effective.

Mate there are only a few blower that will be able to keep up with a 20v and none of them are toyota built. If you want to be serious about it, your are going to need to get yourself a Vortech Centrifugal blower. Something like a Vortech V5 should do the job well.

One of these could come in handy for that K motor upgrade, this is pure horn! There is nothing like a 3K-R

So what has been done to the rear?

Do want to hijack, but can I use a use a 3 main leaves ( 2 with eye cut off), and a no. 3? I am after less progressive rate and more solid state leaves.

Down here in SA they do, must be different rule in QLD in regards to brake lines and who can make them.

Are these going to happen I have been waiting for someone to some for ages now. James, how much longer are we going to have to wait??

Cheers Cameron, that would be tops. Cheers Dale J.

Would someone like to give me one of those motors for Shizuka?

Hey just wondering what cam you guys can recommend for my monster 3K? I want to make power and I don't care how high I have to rev it to make it. I am building for a bottom end that will happily take 10,000 RPM.

to the carby mate.

Jap spec T18's ran a disk brake T series diff, maybe you could try and find some discs and make up your own calliper mounts. The other idea I have is to custom fit N13 front vented discs on the rear with the N13 calliper, these will fit under 13" as they do as standard.
