74KE20

hey guys wanting to chuck a new diff/ diff head in my ke20 as this one has shat itself. my question is what diff head will bolt straight to my original diff without taking it out or if i was to take it out what diff would bolt straight in for example would a kp60 starlet diff head bolt on or a ke30? any help would be much appreciated

Hey guys I'm looking to put a 5 speed in the KE20 but i have been told that you can only use a starlet 5 speed and not a KE70 because the gear changer lever is futher back. is this true?

same diff bro

Intake 20mm Exhaust 30mm :)

turns out it was the front carb....put a another carb on and now its overrated! now the rears can really spin :P

bought the new dizzy cap and rotor, cleaned the plugs and swapped them. drove it home and the plug is fouled..... the reason i have the 3k dizzy is because i took it off my old 3k. when i bought the 4k it was only the engine and nothing else.. checked valve clearances on all cylinders and there overrated too... could it be my twin carbs? there original toyota k series twin carbs with matched porting to the cylinder head

already had work done to the head. ported nd polished. I'm running a 3k coil and ballast resistor and also the 3k dizzy this shouldnt affect it though right?

yeah hopefully will be the dizzy cap otherwise i have no idea. don't think its oil as it hasnt used any oil and the engine has had a recent full on rebuild...

oh and have also done compression tests and leak downs and there overrated

Hey guys my worked 4k aint firing properly on cyl 2. i hav swaped plugs around, got new points and condensor, new leads, checked valve clearances and set timing to 12 degrees btdc. all the other plugs are overrated but no 2 keeps fouling.i am gettin a new dizzy cap and rotor today to. what the shit is going on?

checked all the basics like that. have done compression tests on all cylinders and even don leak down tests and its overrated. a mild grind cam shudnt affect manifold vacuum tho shud it?

checked the timing marks on cam and crank and they line up. have used 2 different manifolds and the gaskets are new...

yeah getting vacuum from the inlet manifold itself

oh and it isnt the carbs as i chucked the single carb off my old 3k on it to check timing is overrated quite stumped really

Hey guys just bought a worked 4k. it has a 270 mild cam, double valve springs, oversize flat top pistons, ported and polished head with toyota twin carbs match ported. Problem is that the engine doesnt have much manifold vaccum at idle and isnt running the best. any ideas? also can someone tell me what jet sizes i should b using for the carbs? the port sizes arnt huge but are quite big... cheers Brock

mmmm will have to do some further investiagtion lol. cheers for the comment tho, much apreciated!

hey guys just converted from a shitty 3k to a fully rebuilt and very worked 4k! used all the same parts off the 3k and put on the 4k like alternator etc. my problem is that the clutch is not fully disengaging. checked the cable and it seems to be working sweet. my question is, is a 4k crank different to a 3k? the flywheel bolted straight on but I'm wondering is the crank that the flywheel bolts to thicker or thinner? any help would be much appreciated!!! cheers

cheers man :y:

Heres an update of my ke20 1974 Toyota Ke20 New Zealand New 1 Lady Owner (Yes she owned it for 34 years) I am the 2nd owner Engine: Standard 3k original 76,000 mile Interior : Original Blue Sterio: Factory AM Wheels: Standard Hubbys and White Walls Suspension: Compressed Springs and shortend shocks 3 inch Blocks in the rear Exterior: Factory Paint job

Hey guys thanks for the comments, yeah I'm from New Zealand and purchased it off trademe for a hefty 5700.... but price isnt always a factor if you really want somthing. Yeah ive been surfing the site and have noticed you aussies have al the coupes! Anyway I'm still waiting apon the arival of my ke, since it is in the south island and i live in the north. So i will be getting her sometime next week, so i will post more photos then. Cheers

Hey everyone These are just a few pics of my ke20 i have just perchased. I bought it of an old lady who has owned it since brand new ( 34 years ). It has done 76,000 original miles and has been garaged and serviced regulary its whole life. My view is to lower it quite a bit and put white wall tyres on it, while keeping the standard hub caps. Please comment if you like. Will post more pictures soon
