there could be a number of reasons the engine is overheating...
*bunk water pump
*bunk thermostat
*losing coolant?
*bunk radiator (cracked/corroded)
*real low engine oil
the list could go on...
a blown head gasket or cracked head is usually the result of severe overheating....
-
My ol'man has a cressida with a 7m-ge.
He drives it hard and is consequently has become a master at replacing head gaskets as it blows through the cylinder walls quite regularly.
Still does good skids... for a granny's car

Your car is upside down :yes:
It is a strut brace, Looks good how it matches the car.
sh#t! i get a little excited sometimes... gives wifey the shits hardcore!

oh yeah! sway bar!

cheers fellas....
....just had a look. I can't see any brass screw. I hope that threaded hole isn't what we're talking about.
-
Where is the air/fuel mixture screw on the 4afc carburettor? Also what is the best way to set it?
Car has a funky unburnt fuel smell at idle so I think it's running a bit rich...
-
The title says it all...... a $1.60+

Quad carbies ftw?
That looks like 5 course meal at breakfast.....

If youve got the right stud pattern you can make anything fit Ive got 17"s on mine and they don't rub at all. they are spaced out 15mm. heaps of messing around, but its possible
spacers are hardly legal though, well in QLD aren't.
-
spit shine these and a powdercoat centre and they'd look tuff as on a low ke70....

for 99c there is no wrong.
-
allright cheers umm any ideas for sum good sizes
15 X 6 1/2in will fit straight on. You could go 7 wide but would need offset. Is it lowered? Do you have a budget? If not go to a wheel shop.
-
oh ohk what whold be the propblem like they just wholdnt fit or whold they stick out abit
the stud pattern is a whole 14.5 mm off centre. you could go all out and drill your stud holes about 8mm larger but that would most likely end in tragedy though wobbles.
not entirely sure about 8inches wide with a 25mm offset. you might get them on the rear but they'd probaby rub on the front struts.

there is a ae84 seca being sold on ebay at the moment as a ae92. It is clearly the pre '89 seca with a 4ac but it even the VIN his AE92 in it. . . . suss! :)
-
Yeah i'd try and keep it simple and efffecctive.
Anyone know what's involved in a rear drum to disc conversion on a ae92 seca>? I've seen the disc kits on ebay but not sure about calibers, lines and studs and what have you. I was thinking maybe front calipers if i can get the rear rotors off ebay.
Is it worth the risk? Ive bought stuff off ebay before and been severly disappointed.
-
that will be the last step if at all. the old car was great in a straight line but i'm hoping for more from this car. fortunately i was not in the car when it happened i was in bed.
Damn! Did you cry? I would have cried! Right after I knocked that c*** the f*** out!
-
That's mad. I've gone with macca's trays and the hand brake but have never tried the reverse 180's as this is my only form of transport and Bob Jane isn't a cheap f*^ker!
-
At least someone agrees with me....Thanks Nobs'
-
did you find much of a gain with the custom intake and pod? some say its worth it other say don't bother....
-
Ahh ok. Just looking at the towers, don't look like they'd been redrilled to suit the twinky strut tops.
But then again, i havent seen the 3 bolt pattern that the Sinkys use.
My twin-cam has a 3 bolt strut tower. The all do from what i've seen.
Could be Camry or Celica front struts....
-
What are you smoking mate? A blown engine is always going to make more power
than an n/a engine, regardless of capacity,and for half the amount of money.
Who said NA would make more power than blown? who said it? I certainly didn't.... the problem I am stating- increased wear and tear. <<< Means bye bye engine a lot earlier than the finacial equivelent spent on good pistons and rods with $100 head job on a mill.

Anyone know the current laws on registering a ke70 with a RB20, 25 or 30 in Queensland?
No chance in hell for the RB 30. You'd slip by with the 20, 25, 26. I looked into putting a 3.5L alloy Rover V8 with a auto trans I had handy into my ke70. Was told no chance. Maximum 50% displacement increase from standard engine with certs. For a 5K motor that gives you 2.275L to play with.
And that was before the new laws came in. God knows where its nowadays....
-
AE70, I read your post and thought I would scroll down to add it and seen he already did.
Tried friending the bastard several times... the stiff used to live in Beautown, where I currently reside. Won't accept me.
Accept it Des.... it was ment to be!
-
Came in here to say to ask Des how they go :P
I need to ask, who is this "Des" you speak of?
-
Blowers are always a temperary mod. Running high end pressure through a motor that doesn't have the bottom end and head work for it will always lead to problems.
If you want a freak motor with massive power from a tiny displacement do the work, spend the money and get it right.
For a reliable top ender just go N/A, big head work, solid bottom end with balance and plenty of fuel with pressure behind it. It will howl like a 9krev banshee and live to do it tomorrow.
The positive behind blowers is the instant rpm boost, which leads to the impound should you choose to unload in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Think about doing 100kph, cresting a hill, dropping 3rd and watching 180kph come around before you casually knock 4th then 5th as you deccelerate in a cackle of fire and brimstone....
who needs a blower....

10) Strut Brace
-This model, the CS Seca, did not come with a front strut brace. I found one on ebay for $50. :yes:
-I gave it a light sand and couple of coats of engine enamel.
-I did the cam cover while I was at it after removing the stickers with a blade. purely cosmetic, but totally super race!
-The holes required for the standard strutbrace were marked but not drilled. It's under the SR Super Response sticker on the firewall
-Removed the vent grill.
-Drilled them out with a 10mm bit.
-Jacked the car up on the centre crossmember. Enough to get the front wheels off the ground.
-Bolted to the top strut towers and then bolted to the firewall.
-The firewall bolts were too long so i had to nut them from outside to prevent interference with the wiper arms
Bob's your uncle...
Fully sick handling improvement... totally rigid, hardly any chassis flexing. for Mr No it all!
