June 26, 200719 yr comment_183781 Hey guys, ok, everybody has seen a 7k motor, but who has actually seen one in its home!! being a KR42R twonace!! Took these yesterday and thought they might be handy for reference pics if anybody is ever working on a 7k, and wanted to know how something goes standard - if you can see it in the pics. Some may just be interested to see what a 7k engine bay looks like!! Note to ECU controlled dizzy as well! if you have the ECU to run it, this would be a better option to the over priced 5k electronic items. :P Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183784 I also noticed the other day that the townace runs a 4x114.3 PCD... interesting little tidbit of info if anyone was looking for some chaser/inteceptor-esque rims on their rolla, though they'd be a bit heavy. Also I discovered the Townace has the same floorpan/chassis as the Kijang/Unser in Indo and Malaysia, which makes it infinitely easier for me to source alloy wheels direct from the factory in Indonesia as I can just specify Kijang stud pattern with 0 offset... Anyway... carry on Report
June 26, 200719 yr Author comment_183786 I think the diff is the same as a ke55 one (except no sway bar), but don't quote me on that. If that van is still there this arvo, I'll take a couple of pics of the diff. I also have a few pics of the gear box if anybody is interested in seing that!? Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183789 Yes... GB and diff pics please... grab a shot of the build plate too if you can Report
June 26, 200719 yr Author comment_183795 GB...... note the electronic speed sensor in the pic of the rear ext housing. this would probably be a really easy way to put an electronic speedo (as aposed to cable) in any old toyota!! :P the rear ext housing is also very similar to that of a W50. Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183798 Hmm... and by the looks, seperate bellhousing. I'm just wondering what series box it is... you'd have to expect it to be tough as nails being a commercial box and all... but I still wonder if that bellhousing could come in useful. K to what... hmmm Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183803 GB...... note the electronic speed sensor in the pic of the rear ext housing. this would probably be a really easy way to put an electronic speedo (as aposed to cable) in any old toyota!! :wink: the rear ext housing is also very similar to that of a W50. Got one comin!!!!!!!!!!! :P Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183834 Gearbox is a G52 / G54 in the townace, this is the same as a hilux box which has the same W55-W58 9 bolt gearbox stud pattern. Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183866 i have a kr42r townace, 2000 model, manual. i can take as many photos as you like. si, sorry i was slack and didn't take any of the gearbox as requested earlier, but i'll get off my ass now if needed. Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183881 Sweet... think I have the gearbox questions sorted... whats the go with the diff in these things... also same as hilux perhaps? could be handy, already being 4x114.3 and all... Edit: ok, appears it is the same as hilux, not sure of ratios or width yet. Edited June 26, 200719 yr by 7shades Report

Edit: ok, appears it is the same as hilux, not sure of ratios or width yet. At $1000 they aren't cheap Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183887 They are if your local wrecker is an idiot :P Well if there that cheap ill pay postage!!!!!!!!!! Report
June 26, 200719 yr comment_183907 i'll measure the diff width today. i think its a high ratio, probably >4.5:1 but i don't have the booklet. Report
