Ke70 And Ae71 Differences

[ke-sev]

was just after a list of the main differences and the easiest way to spot one from the other.

 

if its a 1.6 does that make it an ae?

 

do they both come in flat and slant front?

 

i tried searching but couldnt figure it out :cool:

 

cheers guys

AE71:

T50 gearbox

4ac 1.6 engine, came only in the late model front, but some people swap the front ends to the older style.

Slight difference in diff ratios, ae71s are bit taller thanks to the extra torque. If it says 1.6 its an ae71 most likely.

 

KE70

4kc engine, k40 or k50 gearboxes. Had early and late style front ends. Slightly lower diff ratios. Not much more difference than that. Mostly they have a hicam badge which is just a marketing thing. Pretty sure they were the same 4k as a ke55.

 

Different trim levels were available on each. CSX or XX models had mags standard - 13x5.5.

 

Both were available in auto which I don't know much about.

 

The ke70 early style chassis had a couple of minor differences, such as the different mirrors and therefore doors.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks mate that was what i was looking for, especially with the engine codes and stuff.

 

Is the 4ac the same engine as the ADM sprinters?

Yes, ADM sprinters had a 4ac - T50 - S Series diff combo. Bigger diameter struts in the sprinter, but all laid out much the same as a ke70. All the suspension is straight swap, even the strut tops are the same in Australia. You can use most any AE86 component in KE70/AE71 suspension.
