Port and polish the head, shave for compression. reasonable duration cam, twin sidedraft carbs, extractors and 2 inch exhaust, lightened flywheel, recurved distributor and it will fly. Mine did! You would need to decide whether you need to rebuild the bottom end or not - I didn't, and it survived years of spirited daily driving and club motorsport events of all kinds. Another very good site is http://www.toyota3tc.com which is US based

Virtually all of the above is meaningless. There are innumerable differences between the cars. And remember JDM can mean 4AC S series diff and "ADM" taillights too. All JDM didn't have 4AGE's and disc rear ends. The only reliable indicator is the build plate, checking that the frame number matches. The info on here can be simply read to interpret the specs as built. So many cars are now getting about with various bolt in bits such as diffs, engines, tail lights, door cards etc. that such signs mean nothing. When I first started to convert mine over in 1990, it was easier to get "JDM" tailights than "ADM" from an import wrecker. If it really is a JDM 4AGE etc, better indicators of originality besides the build plate, include correct fuel supply and return lines, correct underdash looms and so on which are rarely changed in conversions.

I suggest you contact Whiteline directly. I received crappy illegible useless instructions, printed crooked across the page, when I got some AE86 whiteline adjustable bars in a group buy on another Corolla forum a while back. Spoke to this guy. Within 24 hrs had excellent instructions with clear photo's emailed to me.

Not sure if anyone else has posted it, but there is a restoration article of a TE5X? that apparently ran in the Monte Carlo rally once. A Danish guy has it. Is in Classics Monthly December 2008 edition. It's an English magazine by the way.edit, may actually be a TE37? If it isn't a KE/TE2x or AE86, I wouldn't know!

The USDM loom is different in a lot of ways from the RHD cars. Go here for a full copy of the diagnosis manual. Work through it logically.

Get a T50 from an AE86. Be aware the Celica T50 is sufficiently different and not worth the hassle. The AE86 T50 has two bellhousings, which differ only in that the clutch slave swaps sides to keep it away from the exhaust manifold for the 4AGE. The 4AGE has 4AG stamped at the top of the bellhousing and the 4AC ADM box has 3A stamped at the top. Not personally familiar with the AE71 4AC box but someone will know. The W box won't be necessary in a 1200 and adds weight and size. If you decide to turbo it then that may be different.

:jamie: :no2: :yes: Looks like I shall have to edit my sig, how embarrassment.

Bummer. I would be keen some other time. Really need to get the AE86 back on the road. Would have been a good loosen up run for your beast though. Keen to hear more!

That's good to know. Had been thinking seriously of buying my seals from him. Does anyone now if the Thai ebay guys seals are any better or are they the same ones?

Please tell me someone took lots of photos

Connect the vacuum line from the guage to a take off on your inlet manifold. It gives you an indication of economy. i.e. you put your foot down and the needle swings to poor, cruising along needle is on good.

To ease my depression at missing Maffra, managed to get out to Centre Rd this morning thus avoiding going to Chadstone for santa photos. The KE35 is still there and has a perfect uncracked dash pad! There is also a very tidy KE30. No AE71's, or any earlier KE's. AE82 twinky is still there though pretty well nothing mechanical on it. There is a decent Bellet hidden away along the side if you are into those.

Due to the weather and illness, am bailing out unfortunately. Not going to the beach either. Disappointed as it would have been a great day. Wouldn't be surprised if Sale floods.

You probably don't want to call in any favours from me. I run clinical trials in Haematology and Bone Marrow Transplant. Lots of people with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and so on. You want a tip? Give away the fags. Now.

I was 30/70 but am now 50/50 after reading a PM from someone. Will be down at Sandy Point so sort of part of the way there already. Shall see if I can convince the wife and kids to let me go. Don't even think of suggesting she come too..... If I do come, will be in something Swedish though.

This is the thread, make sure you rep him if you are on Toymods. The thread is pretty long and detailed with lots of photos and wiring adjustment diagrams. Not really practical or fair to paste it in. This guy was also offering to supply completed units at a very reasonable price, although it was a while ago. Not sure how relevant this is but may prove useful. It's a long time since I had K motors, and am just getting back into T's after a long sojourn with A's. Even if the bits won't fit a K dizzy, may inspire someone to investigate other Toyota stuff that may go in. Just goes to show what is possible with a bit of lateral thinking.

There is a thread on toymods about putting the internals of a 22R dizzy from memory into a T series distributor using the 22R ignitor. Shall dig it out if this sounds relevant.

RA40 hatchback - what a dog.

I have two, one on my thumb from sharpening a stick with a sheath knife as a kid - ouch. The other due to a phimosis - that hurt a lot more!

Holy shit! You have convinced me

Per the Toyota manuals T engine T50 capacity is 1.5 litres A engine T50 capacity is 1.7 litres

I would highly recommend continuing south to Kongwak, the road just keeps going, but do watch out for cyclists - and me coming home from Sandy Point! Kongwak have a great small Sunday Market where you can get great home cooked Asian dishes for lunch and pickup some groovy retro items.

Hopefully not till next week after my wife gets back from Europe!

Moving from a classy KE25 to dogbox KE30 is the same thing isn't it? :lolcry:

The only sensible idea is to put whatever came out in that body shape overseas. I imagine that means a silvertop or possibly? a 4AGZE. And once you have researched that, whatever you do, make sure you buy a complete front cut and transfer EVERYTHING over, all mechanicals, all electrics, suspension, brakes everything. You will regret it otherwise.
