What do you mean by "uber charger"? and I can do the majority of the engine work myself (other than machining of the head and boring), and I get parts at trade price. and are you trying to say skids as well as it costing alot?? lol.

Doesn't matter now anyway as I'm going 3tc/2tg hybrid.

Hey, ive decided to go with a 3t/2tg hybrid engine conversion for my T18 and would like to know what parts are needed. I know I need: 3TC engine (is complete) 2TGEU is the head I may be getting 2TG Timing cover Or do you think I would be better off rebuilding the 3tc with performance parts as there are plenty of performance parts for them and I already have extractors and a stage 2 or 3 cam for the 3t engine.

Thanks for the help, I think ill just go 3t/2tg hybrid which will bolt straight in or even carbed 4age.

what if I just get the cross member from the ra28 ill be getting the engine from?

aww well, ill just build up a 3t/2tg engine instead sounds like it would probably be easier in the long run cause it would just bolt in.

how hard would it be to put the 18rg engine and whatever gearbox they came with in?

Hey, just wondering if a 18RG will bolt into my 1980 Series 1 T18/TE72 with a 3tc and would it bolt up to my T50 gearbox as well.

You only need to change your hubs and get ke30 axles and shorten them 5mm each side.

should only be about 800kg stock.

ye, I thought they where jelly beans too? its just going to be a daily that will be a little competitive on the track... one day. Edit, Actually I think that jelly beans have more of a curved dish whilst these are flat.

Having a look tomorrow will hopefully be mine soon.

What do you mean ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I know they are thinner than that so no.

I'm not too sure though, I still want some form of fuel economy but I guess any kind of sidedraft will use more petrol the manifold only cost me $35 anyway. Ill probably end up buying twin carbs on a manifold anyway cause no one wants to sell just 1 sidedraft. coilover legs are for sale now, not the brake caliper adapters though.

Also is anyone good at photo chopping? if anyone is would you be able to put a 3" chrome dump pipe and another with a 3" single drift pipe out the side. Thanks :blinks:

Ah, thanks. ye, tell him I got it registered easy too. its a nice car though, where you his mate who did the paint? Would also love to get some of these wheels when I get enough money - http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_501.shtml 15x7 for the front and 15x8 for the rear the red ones I think would look alright otherwise id probably just get the gunmetal ones. will need to get bigger wheels anyway when I finish the coilovers/brakes cause 15's will just fit over the front brakes.

Ye, just a daily, but with the new suspension and brakes I will be putting in and might take it to some skid pans. Then mabey if I save up enough money ill rebuild the spare engine I will be buying and bore it to 88mm pistons, bigger valves, the cam I will be putting in, and if it has enough power ill try taking it to a track and sliding it :blinks:

Hey this is my first RWD corolla, I was looking for a while for a good KE but there where none without rust that where cheap so I found this one down near Byron bay. Name: Jake Car: 1980 TE72/T-18 Motor & Driveline: Stock 3T-C has extractors with 2" back one high flow muffler, and 38/38 synchronized weber. Suspension & Brakes: Stock suspension apart from cut springs :lolcry: Stock brakes with brand new rotors and pads (only cost just under $70 for brand new rotors and pads) Has a T series Diff too :blinks: Also has AJPS braided brake lines. Wheels & Tyres: 13"x5.5" on the front with 175/75R13 and 13"x6" on the rear with 185/70R13 Interior: Stock, except for painted door trims. Body: No rust :blinks: and has had a shed respray (all the prep work and rust removal was done properly though ive seen all the pictures of it in the panel shop) Other: Has Clarion headunit with kenwood 6x9s and clarion sub and amp. Has Autotechnica steering wheel. That is how it all started oh the joy, once what was a clean..ish T18 it got flogged it got abused it got some love in the form of parts (not really body wise haha) So yes that is how it started with alllll of that stuff is pretty much how I got it, then I got some supercheap paint and painted the black sills looked alright, tryed to skid it but ran up a gutter and ʞ©$ɟed a new tyre haha, then decided to buy some new wider wheels, they would have been overrated... if I had of been a man and kept them :( they where some delicious 14" SSRs one beast of a pair of 14x7.5 -14 longchamps and a lovely super clean pair of MK2's 14x8 0 well the champs didn't fit on the front so I decided to be gay and sell them AND the mk2's well then I bought some longchamp ripoffs in 15x8 0 which still didn't fit and decided to then flare the front guards for some reason well kept them for a while. Then decided to get some extractors and an exhaust, sounded alright I suppose, then thought about some webbers so bought swapped some dellortos for some wheels and then the manifold I bought was pretty much stuffed sooo sold them and bought a 38/38 webber and port matched the manifold to the head. So one night I decided to got for a run up nebo then coming down cooked the front brakes because they decided they did not want to live anymore and seized so then bought some coilovers and brakes from a MA61 supra and longer LCAs well the right coilover had been bent in japan for some sort of race class so gave them back and got some AE86 stuff up front and rear with JDM!!! brakes I know right! well they have been awesome. Then I got sick of spinning one wheel so I bought a TRD 2 way LSD with 4.778 gears and decided was way to tall ratio for me so swapped them plus some monies for me :) for some 4.3's which where a bit better, then got some different wheels (again!) these where my favorite wheels my 13" SSR mk2s in 13x8 all round and 0 and negative 13 offset which sat great. Then left it how it was for quite a while and went to QR and Archy to practice some drifting went pretty good for the amount of power it had only 80HP by the way, but I think some of those horses escaped from that mighty engine called a 3T haha. But in all seriousness I had fun but got tired of not being able to hold it out with such little power, even when I entered matsuiri got enough of a run up for touch over 100km/h handbrake entrys into the dipper and the end of the straight was quite hairy at those speeds haha. well these would have been perfect still for the new heart that would be replacing the 3T (more on that later) but decided i would need bigger brakes so which brings us to recent times when I just bought a set of 14" SSR fins in 7 with neg 5 and 7.5 with neg 15 should be good also swapped my JDM brakes for an RX7 setup with the AJPS caliper brackets so should be perfect with the 14's. And that brings us onto the new engine those of you who don't know yet I have bought a Lexus/Toyota LS400/Celsior for the engine, "which is what" you say? Well let me tell you its a 4L quad cam 190kw and 340 or NM torque which should be plenty for the (fingers crossed) 900kg car which will be mated to a custom flywheel with either a nascar or v8 supercar clutch and a richmond 5 spd close ratio 1:1 5th gear box, driving the rear wheels (I hate to use it but..) R31 diff shortened to suit with either full spool or LSD not sure which yet. So far with the Lexus I have been busy pulling off parts to sell so I can get some money back, hopefully should be a free engine! :) But the engine and loom are now out as of today the 29/12 Now have to take off some panels for other people and then someone else wants the rest of the shell as well so could possibly make some money from wreaking out the car and that is selling parts pretty dam cheap too, now I see why wreckers do it but don't see why they charge so much. The T18 is close to being striped to its last sign of life no interior is left only sound deadening on firewall to go, everything is nearly out of the engine bay and ready to rip the old one out, just have to pull out glass get all the old paint off then start stripping even more everything, little metal brackets that aren't needed will be cut off. Then time for the full cage to go in :) So thats the life of my T18 so far and hope to have lots of pictures soon. Thanks all of you for reading!!

the V8 ke30 wagon runs 22" on the rear I think.

also, good luck finding 15's in 4x110 stud pattern too.

ye, do you know if my engine would be too loud with just 1 high flow muffler? otherwise ill put in a resignator and a high flow muffler.

none of those are the same as mine on my te72, mine look similar to the 2nd ones except my reverse part is over toward the left more.
