corollaart Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Well its defently t50 and my guess that its ta22 box ,with a tseries bell housing.The shifter position is perfect fit for a ke30 55,no cutting floor pan. With yours being a auto I'm not sure where the shifter came out of the floor. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Its deffinately a TA22 T50. I'm more so intersted in the bellhousing! :) I think with your KE3X being an auto the shifter will actually come through in a KE70 position, hence the top (dirty) T50 will better suit this. Saying that though the you'll need to mod the tailshaft for that one, where if you used the TA22 T50 then the stock tailshaft will go straight up its arse. Half a dozen of 1, 6 of the other!

Beauc Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hey beau, you want to get the motor sitting as far back as possible. obviously don't mount it hard against the firewall but you would be better of weight wise and radiator / fan room wise. (intercooler) Yeah i did want to go back a bit further for this reason, but its going to be up to my mate who is fabricating the mounts if he can come up with something suitable, i was going to run a remote oil filter because its in a bad spot for how we wanted to make the mounts up, but we are just going to work around it now. I'll keep you posted with the outcome anyhow, thanks mate!

Well lets put it this way, i'm gonna make one good one out of the two! I'm going to use the dirty one at the top and use a few parts out of the bellhousing end from the ta22 spec one, cause I'm missing the little plate from the other. I have a manual and a auto tailshaft sitting in my garage so i guess one of them would have fit the 20 spline but this turned up today to use for the 22 spline (the top one) so i can get a custom tailshaft made up Also the bellhousing on the celica one is alot bigger too!

SLO-030 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 ETA on completed car man? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted February 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 ETA on completed car man? Hopefully end of this month it should at least be running, a lot of stuff will be getting done in the next couple of weeks such as putting the mounts in and bolting the engine up, wiring, fitting the pedal box and hydraulics for the clutch, then around mid february Just Jdm should have the rest of the bits from japan that I am waiting on (alt bracker, altenator etc), tailshaft should be getting made too. Its all time and money really and there's too many damn events in feb like mates birthdays etc, I have two this weekend, doh! But I am picking up my flywheel etc while I'm there so it's kinda productive!! How's your beasties coming along? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sounds like you got most of it sorted, good luck. Hope to see you on some sort of road trip in it, somewhere in Adelaide ;) Ours are going alright, Just sealed the deal on a brand new bonnet :D and BIGGER flares on the 55 :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Yeah road trip would be good once i get it running and reliable! I was going to do it before i did the motor but i didn't trust the 3k! Good too see your making progress too! Confirmed two things tonight The first is that the yoke i bought from Hardy Spicer fits the aus spec t50, 22 spline, out of whatever it came out of and thats what box i am going to use!! And the second thing is that the manual tail shaft i have fits the 20 spline box out of the ta22 So basically i have two boxes which i can use if i have any drama's, woohoo!

SLO-030 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Looks good man :) What size rotors are on the RA40 struts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shauns ke30 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Looks good man :) What size rotors are on the RA40 struts? not to sure but it needs new one's tho pads are good but up to you if you use them beauc there all ready to go in. i had them in my car just fitted but i needed a smaller LCA ke70!!! or addjustible camber top's wheels where like this /---\ only alittle bit but would be good for track use. when you came over they where on the car. if you want have a look around and see what will be a a good brake upgrade I'm sure someone will fill you in ra40,ra60 and corona upgrades cheers shaun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Cheers, my main concern is getting a set of rims similar to these to fit on to the car, i want it to have a fairly mean jap-spec stance, Might even pump the guards out a bit i am not sure yet! As for the wiring loom i got bored tonight and started to label it using these sheets, although, its still rather confusing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
