benzo Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Gee wiz Sim this is gonna be beastly!! ;) Now when it's done you can just give it to me then. 300rwkw in a KE26 should be damn fast, easy 11's if not 10's.. What colour are you going to respray this? I think the same colour as your KE26 daily would be killer sleeper haha Cheers, Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13BT_KE20 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 300rwkw in a KE26 should be damn fast, easy 11's if not 10's.. would easily be a 10 if not quicker ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 thanks guys, I'm wanting to spray it that new holden blue (voodoo) i think its called, looks awesome. I'm not going for the sleeper look with this car, its gonna scream dragster but still be driven in the street (sometimes) ;). it will do 10's no sweat. my mates 1300 wagon with a smaller turbo and extend port made 320rwkw and ran a 10.4, mines a bridgeport and bigger turbo (its basically a T66) should make around the 340rwkw. if i can launch it properly n get traction i should see low 10s easyyyy.

Sim Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 i hvn't done anything about rims yet, i will soon. gona try leave it too the last minute so i make sure i get the right sizes. I'm yet too see how wide i can go in the rear end first. i was going to originally get it mini tubbed but after a closer look the chassis rails are too close to the tubs so i'd have to get the rails chopped out and moved further in towards the centre of the car, which prety much smegs me off since i still wanna drive the car on the street. I'm gonan get the tubs cut out and boxed right up against the rails. I'm hoping to get another 1/2 or even an extra inch if i can and try squeeze 8" Convo Pro's under it (iv finally decided on those), which as much dish as ican run lol. going for 4" at the front end. ye dougal soon as the thing is up and running and the motor is run in ill be taking it straight to calder n see what times i can get out of it ;).

Doogs Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Sweet as, will look really tough with 8'' rubber ! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 yeh it should look tough ;). has anyone had much experience farting around with Hilux diffs? ive got a 4wd luxy diff (unknown model) lying around which i wouldn't mind using in the rolla. only thing stopping me is that it has massive mofo 6 stud drums on it which are no good to me. does anyone know how hard it would be to change to 5 stud drums/30 spline axles? I'm gonna be changing the guts of the carrier to run 4.3:1 gears and a full spool i just wanna know if I'm wasting my time trying to change over the drums/axles or if i should just ditch it and try find a 5 stud 2wd diff?? any help would b good.

KE26 Wagon Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hey mate, Great little project you have. I was going to go with the rotor conversion but opted for the SR20. I have stuffed around with a hilux and by past experience oit is worth trading your 6 stud compete diff for a 5 stud from the start. You basically have top change everything from backing plates. axles etc. They are basically 2 different diffs. After alot of research on the hilux diffs i have now got a 2wd from a 86 model. I know that a 1976 2wd hilux diff will fit into a mazda 1300 without beign shortened. But good luck trying to find one which was the problem that i had. Good luck with the rest of the project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
untubbed_20 Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 On my sedan(don't know if they are different) i fitted deep dish 8 inch performance challengers and 26x8.5 m/t's...just T04Z, bridgeport ....be a easy 9 sec 140mph+ car with the boost wound up:) cheers darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I'm guessing u managed to fit those with untubbed guards? (going by ur nickname), or did u have to massage the guards out abit? you reckon i could fit 8" convo pros on it? pm me if u want as I'm interested to know what u did.

untubbed_20 Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Yep you can fit 8's on the sedans, just have to get the diff shortened perfectly Think mine was 1220mm long with my deep dish rims. Buy your rims and tyres first and then pull the back out of the car and sit them in and measure up for diff. If you square up the inner guards it is a lot easier and will sit lower, the rest is just a bit of sledgemhammer work on the inside, i didn't flare the outside, but you might have to for a 28x9, but 26 x8.5 just fitted. cheers darren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 just a little update, got a hilux diff afew months ago which turned out to be useless so i ended up finding an RN25 2wd luxy diff, which will suit the corolla well, i need to get it cut done heaps obviously but thats sweet now. just need to offload the other diff now lol. should hopefully get my microtech bits soon, this week hopefully, n been talking to the dudes at PWR about getting an aluminium radiator made up and also getting an intercooler off them. i measured up my existing radiator, making it a little bigger as i hav a bit of free room i can use, sent them the pic n they made me up a drawing showing would it will look like, looks mad. i wasn't fast enough to reply to them yesterday so il have to wait till monday to hear back from them but once i pay em i should get everything within a week. also ordered some Velo race seats today, fken awesome fibreglass seat, comfortable as and they only weigh 5kg :cool:. ill be picking those up next saturday as they didn't have any in stock. decided on my wheel/tyre combo during the week aswell, was hoping to get everything today but they didn't have any rear wheels my size in stock and won't have any for 6 weeks , so I'm gona try get them directly from VPW or rocket industries. iv decided on Convo Pro 15x4" 1-3/4 back space (no dish) fronts with Nankang 165/60 tyres and 15x7" 3-3/8 (lots of dish) with 235/60/15 M/T street radials. can't wait when i get everything :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
