TheNOBBLER[RL] Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ha HA I personally would ask "thenobbler" about that one, he runs a b/port 16v/20v Hybrid its about 11ish:1 comp and rumor has it that it used to run std 91ron unleaded. Haha, yes, its true, it runs on 91 no problems! I never used to run the std engine on anything but 91! I was a pov 1st year apprentice! Never had a problem. Infact, I had the car on the dyno with 91 in the tank and the timing set to 12 deg, so aprox 20 once the ecu does its stuff... no detonation and no problems... made 70.5kw atw. Mind you, i bumped up the timing and I'm running 98 now... goes really hard! Anyway, I don't think you would have any probs on 91 in a stocker, but as webers said, maybe go something better in the warmer months. Also, check the drive in night thread to see if you can make it, let us know if you can. Jarrad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Being a 4A-C, 91 should be fine unless the motor is worked. Just adjust the engine timing to compensate for the lower octane rating so it doesn't ping its head off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deNs Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 *puts hand up* New member :P Recently, myself and 3 mates bought a 1983 KE70 with the marvellous(ly average) 4K-C motor in quite good condition. Well, mechanically the car is actually quite good. There's bodywork that needs to be fixed up, but some bog and the tin of matched paint that the guy gave to us with the car should help solve that pretty quick. Plans are for a 4A-GE conversion, though when we'll actually be able to get our hands on it is another question. Of of the guys was going to upgrade his RX7 to a 13BT, and suggested putting the current 13b in the corolla. It'd be awesome, but lots of work, considering this is the first time any of us have done an engine transplant. 4A-GE means we need AE71/86 engine/gearbox crossmembers, but hopefully that won't be too much of an issue. Gearbox will probably just be a T50 as long as we can find one, otherwise it'll be the K50, sedately driven until we find a T50. If anyone knows a good place to find either a 4A-GE in decent cond or a T50.. I'd appreciate any help at all! Now registered on KE70.com, twincam.org, Toymods, AE82 Owners Club and here for the majority of my research and searching for parts. I currently drive a 1995 K11 Nissan Micra, but I really can't wait to put something a little more powerful into this little RWD car :dance: ---dens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a K50 from a bloke in Ringwood who had a v6 in his Corolla. However it was a 4 door KE30 or 55. He had only driven it a few times and it scared the crap out of him. Sounds like a fun toy though! P.S. 2 door KE30's are the best :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 NOOOOOOOoooooooooooo.......Stick with a '20 If not then an early '35 would be my choice. Welcome to the club mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindKidSeeks Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi I'm Andy.... I'm from East Malvern and i Drive a 1989 Corolla SX Hatch in WHITE. I've just finished having it touched up, new paint on bonnet, front and rear bars, and a quarterpanel replaced. Also the suspension has just been finished. New Superpro urethane bushes (with the tricky castor) KYB gas and Kings Lows all round. I had a noisy exhaust on , but i have since removed it for the comfort factor. i have a plenty nice sound system and future interior mods include seats wheel, shift knob, short shift lever, and some new vinyl in places, hope you like it....
