Yeah, what he said. Also do theyh bolt up to the KE1X - KE2X 4X110pcd?

:) ;) :P :sob: PLEEEEEZE don't tease me :sob: :sob: :sob: YEAH wait till 3k turbo then eventually 4k turbo, will beat anything* on the road** *anything meaning excels, beetles, shopping trolleys and POSSIBLY :hmm: adelaide metro busses. **road meaning carpark. :dance:

was just mainly wondering if anybody on here had done it before or if it could be done. yeah most of all it comes done to time and money as scott said, scott being the example of stickin big things in little places (engines and engine bays). but it was only an idea when i first got the rolla to stick one in but for now toying round with turbos is enough for me. Also being on first year apprentice wages don't help the money side of owning 2 cars. CHEERS Ryan

So if I understand right, blocking off the external vent would be the only thing id have to do to mod it for boost, apart from makin a boost sealed enclosure for it. Sweetness, 6-8psi should be aiight for a stocky. If i wanna quicker death for the old 1200 i'll put in a cheap airvalve and turn the the bost RIGHT up, keeping in mind the CT12a has a ceramic turbine wheel so that will limit max boost CHEERS Ryan

HAZZZA, i finally found a photo. this pics from the USof A I think as the master cylinder is on the LH side. but still it looks like it fits without havign to mod the firewall or radiator. PLUS a turbo whacked on for good luck. still to much work for a daily driver, anyways a turbo 3k on the way. :dance:

Hi My names Ryan, 1971 KE25 Stock 3K, KE70 5 spd coversion and jap diff. (soon to be turbo 3K) :dance: Stock Suspension, KE30 front brakes and stock rear drums Corona 14" steelies (re drilled PCD) ;) bridgestone tyres front and rear Stock apart from KE25 sports s/wheel and GTS seat covers Preetty average, custom dent behind drivers door :) (hopefully gone soon) ITS RED :hmm: Pics, Coming to a PC near U CHEERS Ryan

yeah have read it b4 all i really need to kno is; what psi the factory CT12A wastegate opens; what carb will be the best with MINIMAL mods and how long people think a fully stock 3k (apart from 4k head) will last, keep in mind i drive it hard. Also Rad Rolla, your waiting tilll your off your P's, I'm about 2 months into mine haha. Keep in mind I'm in SA so no P plate restrictions. :hmm: CHEERS Ryan

yeah i don't really mind if i have to cruise upto a meet point alone cus i don't really drive in a group that much*. but yea meeting in smaller groups first sorta give you a bit more of an oppertunity to meet people and have a geez at others cars in a smaller group. *maybe they can't keep up, hmm 3k power....maybe i can't keep up?. haha CHEERS Ryan

ok, when you pull the spring out of the oil pump there should be a little cup where the spring locates. find something like a washer that sits in the spring cup, about 3mm as suggested by the faq. the idea of this it closing the distance between each end of the spring, when you do this it puts the spring under more compression and raising the pressure applied to the oil pump bypass. l the more force keeping the bypasss shut mean more oil pressure to open it and BAM, theres your higher oil pressure. u may or may not kno this but i put the info up for the others that may not kno.

hi, I bought a KE25 not that long ago and am now startin to get the modifing bug. I just bought a Toyota CT12A turbo (thanks Chumps) and am now going throught the proccess of figuring out how everything will go. I scouted out a few different ways of doing it and ive taken a liking to a setup seen on a Datsun. My main toss up is where i will position the turbo but the design on the Datto used stock manifold cut off about 4in away from the head and a section of square RHS welded to the end with a home made flange welded on, It did look very barbarick but as i have access to most of the tools and equipment needed it should look 100 times better. this above setup positions the turbo partly under the inlet manifold and with the turbo inlet facing the firewall, compressor outlet facing up wards, the tubine inlet facing toward the block and the turbine dump facing forwards. the turbine dump and wastegate pipe will double back under the turbo and mainfolds and follow the same route as a stock exhaust and the compressed air travels straight up and a couple of bends directly into the top of the carb. with the turbo in that position the inlet maniflod should cover most of it and a stock airfilter bonnet could be used to hide the turbo to carb piping just incase the po-po cop a look :abuse: i can do all of the above work myself but need a few pointers. at what psi does the factory CT12A wastegate open; which carb will be the best option for the above pressure with minimal modifications. Also how long could stock std 3k internals hold up with being turbocharged (3k already had a 4k head when i bought it,so decomp is one less thing to worry bout). Id like to see how long it can cope with being tuboed and if i blow it up i hav a 4k lined up so everything will bolt straight back on. As you can see ive done the research and am not askin for people to tell me how to do it, just some pointers and advice if youve previously turboed a k engine. critisism and comments are always welcome.

What i was thinkin was have seperate meet points where people from say the southern suburbs, Northern etc. meet together then cruise as a group to a centeral meet point. id really love to get the rolla out on a cruise so here my 2c go help get one organised. CHEERS Ryan

Saw 2 KE30's on my way home today about 3pm. 1 was turning right off of lonsdale highway onto sullies beach road. 2nd on was on Sheriffs road crossing Lonsdale highway away from Dickson Glass. CHEERS Ryan

yeah a guy that previously owned my rolla has another 25 with a 7k TURBO running garret and daw thru sidedraught in it but it was too much hassle to register a 25 with a 7k legaly so its registered as a 5k. i think he just sold it for $3,000 if i had the money id buy it but a 1st yr apprentice wage isnt that generous. but for 3 grand got u the car, spare 5k setup for turbo, fresh lsd and a shed full of parts. i kno i'll be kickin myself for not gettin it. CHEERS Ryan

yeah just seein if anybody had done that conversion. I kno its not a performance motor. but itd be interesting to see how one fits in a 25 bay tho. I'm puttin in a 4k next weekend ($50 bargin) so i'll see how it goes and then see if i wanna go further with it. when i decide to get a new runabout i might bung one in and see if i can't kill myself in it. haha CHEERS Ryan

Howdy everybody, was just thinkin of possible engine conversions for the 25. the idea of the toyota Hilux 22r (2.4lt 4cyl) motor popped up as we have a hilux in the shed. just wanting to kno IF it could be done or if its been done before. I think i saw 1 in a 25 on an overseas corolla site. and most of all would it be legal, don't want the po-po on me :nervous: CHEERS Ryan

Hey Tally, That 25 u seen, was it red? mighta been me maybe as i was in the city that night, yes the rolla is a bit rough atm, but will be undergoin a small makeover soon. I'm only new here but ive had me 25 for about 6 months and licence (p's) for about 6 weeks. hahaha good fun. CHEERS Ryan
