slapper Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Slapper, welcome to Rollaclub and thanks for that info. Do you mind if I add it to the FAQ? Cheers no problemo - whack it in the FAQ Incidentally, the remedy for 3X extractors vs the 2X gearbox x-member problem is to weld a U-shaped relief into the gearbox crossmember so the exhaust can go wherever it wants. I suspect I dropped some photos in the oldcorollas piccies area if you're keen. However (there's always a however!) ... you also need to worry about the steering idler arm ... because the 3X engine bay is slightly wider, my 3X extractors swung further away from the engine than was a good idea for the 25 - resulting in a nice little dent where the steering idler thumps into them on hard left turns (made worse by the engine twist when you rev). All up, I had the exhaust shop heat, bash, bend etc to the point where I would've been better off buying brand new 2X specific extractors than the $50 wrecker specials plucked from a KE30.

I suspect the 2X extractors *would* fit a 3X ... if you were replacing the rest of the exhaust as well. The 2X exhaust hugs the transmission inbetween the floor, the gearbox and the x-member. It certainly looks like this would still work with the 3X as well as the 2X (apart from the 3X good idea of routing the exhaust heat *away* from the gearbox rather than right next to it). You'd need to replace the rest of your exhaust as well as it would be in a different spot under the floor. The 2X extractors hug the engine tighter as the engine bay is smaller *and* they need to hug the gearbox. All up, it would certainly be a safer bet that 2X extractors would fit a 3X car, but the safest bet wuopld be that 2X extractors would fit a 3X car :D Slapper Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 i'm going to cut up my spare ke20 gb crossmember and do welding mods for the racecar, with side exit exhaust, i need all the muffling space i can get :D Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 and i can guarantee you all that ke30 extractors don't fit a ke70 Quote
Corolla_Kid Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 Or you can get lucky like me an score a decent ke20 shell with a 5k, extracters, and a 2inch exhause for 400 bucks off a guy who really needed rego money :) :D Quote
AE25 Posted July 12, 2005 Report Posted July 12, 2005 just make sure you have mandrel bent primaries. press bent ones look smaller than factory runners, it be more fun tying em to the towbar Quote
dingo ke55 5k Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 picked up a brilliant set of genie extractors 4 into 2 into 1 for 50 bucks used only once from the 4,6 and 8 shop in adelaide still have the blue coating on them if you look hard enough you can still find a good deal Quote
