David[RL] Posted November 1, 2004 Report Posted November 1, 2004 (edited) I have almost completed my 2T-B conversion now The 2T and T50 gearbox is in the car, but I'm using the carby from a stock 2T, the 2T-B twin carby's isn't in use jet :insane: and the exhaust crashed with the steering so we had to make some custom shit but that's not complete either the plans are 2T-B or maybe 2T-G if the (2T)-G head is a straight bolt on conversion?? and I can can capture on cheap enough to my budget :jason: I'm going to make my own 4-1 exhaust manifold that isn't in the way for the steering and 2"exhaust the clutch pedal is some sort of selfmade crap, I have a clutch pedalbox with master cylinder from a carina but haven't fitted it yet I will upload some pictures later today.. does anyone know if I could get a LSD of some sort? pretty tired of just doing single wheelers now :blinks: Edited November 1, 2004 by David Quote
irokin Posted November 1, 2004 Report Posted November 1, 2004 2T-G head will fit on a 2T/2T-B no problems. You need all the front timing covers, dummy camshaft, top timing chain, full and complete 2T-G head with camshafts etc, different intake manifold but your extractors will still fit the twincam head. I can source all of this stuff for about $300AUD Good luck :jason: Quote
David[RL] Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Posted November 1, 2004 300$AUD how much is that? not more than US dollars? I live in norway so it will be expenssive to mail it but what the heck, could be fun is the 2T-G is much more powerfull than the 2T-B or? I also tested to fit the pedalbox but the pedal goes the wrong way so I have to get a pedal box that fit or modefying the one I have Quote
irokin Posted November 1, 2004 Report Posted November 1, 2004 300AUD = 175.581 EURO 2T-G in stock form is ~124hp. 2T-B is something like 119hp. Quote
David[RL] Posted November 1, 2004 Author Report Posted November 1, 2004 okey, default carby's for the 2T-G is 2 mikuni-solex? will I get them too? Would you have done the conversion? or do you think the difference is to small for 300$AUD? with the twincam design I will have more top end power yey? Quote
irokin Posted November 2, 2004 Report Posted November 2, 2004 Yea I think the ports on the 2T-G head are bigger. I don't think the price includes the side drafts. Personally I'm going to stick with the pushrods for a little longer yet. can't really justify $300+ just to convert to twincam. The price would probably end up being in excess of $600-800 after you buy all the new gaskets (which are near impossible to get here in australia, you have to get them in from overseas) reface the head, fix up all the timing gear and get it all together. By that stage Id be going "why don't I just buy a 4A-GE". Quote
David[RL] Posted November 4, 2004 Author Report Posted November 4, 2004 i think the cost of sending the G head will be more than buy a complete 2T-G engine here in norway even it's pretty damn hard to find one, hehe i searched the web and found a site of a guy that turboed his 2T-KE70 http://www.kolumbus.fi/ville.parri/kuvat/e...o/iso/dx11.html and it sounds interessting, what if i just fixed my -B carbys, I've heard you can use any 2T/3T/2T-G/etc exhaust manifold, everyone is compatible with eachother? and 3T was available with turbo? but they'r pretty damn rare isn't they? :thumbsup: so it will either be 4A-GE blue&black top( the only thing i'm missing is the ECU ) or 2T-G or turbo on my 2T any suggestions? Quote
irokin Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 yep all the exhaust manifolds are interchangeable. 2T-B is 9.4:1 compression ratio. If you can find a 2T head (8.5:1 CR) it would turbo quite nicely if thats the way you decide to head. Quote
David[RL] Posted November 5, 2004 Author Report Posted November 5, 2004 hmm yeah, I have a spare 2T engine here so.. hmm but before I do anything I really have to get some better suspension I have a spare bilstein coilovers setup, but that's for rally and I think it's something like 10kg front and 6kg back and it's made for my AE86, is they compatible with eachother? AE86 -> KE70? what should I buy for regular usage, not rallying or racing, but more like a hmm street-racer setup? 6kg front and 4kg on the back? Quote
irokin Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 As far as I know the AE86-KE70 stuff is all interchangeable. One of the KE70 guys will be able to confirm this. With the spring rates...hey try them out, if theyre no good you can probably find someone willing to swap softer rates for those harder rate springs. Quote
David[RL] Posted November 13, 2004 Author Report Posted November 13, 2004 hehe okey, but I need a limited slip diff.. it has to be cheap, good, easy to install and not to hard to get I've heard of 'Phantom Grip' ( Phantom Grip web page ) do you guys and gals think this really work or is it just bullshit? My spare AE86 diff was not complete, missing a couple of parts so I couldn't use that :dance: I've heard it is possible to use a hilux diff, does that mean the whole 'thing' the both back wheels are connected on or just the diff center thingy? if I have to use the whole thing don't hilux use 6 wheel bolts..? sorry but I don't know the right words for the 'things'.. hehe :) Quote
demuire Posted November 13, 2004 Report Posted November 13, 2004 "cheap, good, easy to install, not hard to get" Sorry. Not possible. "good, easy to install" - TRD T-series, or KAAZ or Cusco. None of them are cheap. I believe the TRD is the easiest to get. There's been a fair bit of discussion about the Phantom Grip, but I don't think anyone I know has actually tried it. It looks like it should work, but I don't think it would work anywhere near as well as a proper LSD. And yes, if you change to a Hilux diff you'll be getting the whole diff. Probably need to get it shortened too, unless you can find one of the REALLY early Hilux diffs (which are very rare). Quote
David[RL] Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 hehe ok, I just did this: the locked diff is much cheaper, and it works well enough for me at the moment. but later I need a LSD from a ae86 or something but I was wondering my exhaust manifold ( and engine ) is from a toyota with steering box but I'm using rack'n pinion steering.. so the exhaust manifold points at the steering.. my exhaust now has some serious bends to avoid the rack'n pinion steering and that's no good because they are crap is it possible to find a exhaust manifold that fits the 2T-B engine and doesn't 'crash' in the rack'n pinion steering ? creating own exhaust manifold 4 - 1 is a bit hard for me to do.. and to expensive at the exhaust shop.. what do you think I should do about the rest of the exhaust? 2" all they way to a muffler at the back? bigger? smaller? or using 2 mufflers? Quote
irokin Posted November 25, 2004 Report Posted November 25, 2004 mines 2.25" using 4 into 1 extractors. Unfortunatly the rear muffler is only a 1.75" so It feels somewhat restrictive. Manifolds, hrmm. Maybe use a 3T-GTEU turbo manifold. should allow for a bit more freedom. Quote
David[RL] Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Posted November 25, 2004 that's impossible to get here in norway.. is it possible for you to source one and send it to me? can you give me a hint for the price for the exhaust manifold? but does not the turbo manifold point up? or what? Quote
