October 22, 201510 yr Author comment_700892 okay lets do the 2T-G, was sitting in class thinking of the 2T-G, and all of a sudden i was at home making a wooden bench when i really should have been in school.. for some reason one of the legs tiled itself.. anyways... started taking the 2tg apart pistons out aswell fuq, is this crank trash? atleast thees are trash haha the piston ring gap when forced 4cm into the cylinder was 1,1mm , this is 1 2T-C block i just put 2TG pistons into without meassuring.. needs other piston rings... any idea if i could fit oversized since i have 1,1mm gap?

October 23, 201510 yr comment_700906 Just shoot it off to an engineering shop. Have it cleaned then bore measured, crank measured, checked for straight etc. Then you'll know what you need to find.. oversized pistons, undersized bearings. Get it bored and crank ground back. Have them balance it all when you've got some cash. If you have accurate scales at home (down to 1gm or less) or find some on Ebay you can get all the pistons the same weight, same for rods, then let them spin it for harmonic balancing. Report
October 29, 201510 yr comment_701026 Absolutely love reading this build you have some talent! Some pretty helpful information on here for me as well Report
October 31, 201510 yr Author comment_701079 well, I'm just a young bloke who is trying, faailing and then trying again ;) made what we called US blinkers in norway, its orange markers in the front instead of white... left is US, right is original this is orignal, its as easy as removing the wall and balcking out the white both done! the plan next is to make a alu skid plate that starts at the crossmember, protects the sump and then fold up on the on the front plate :) Report
November 1, 201510 yr comment_701089 the plan next is to make a alu skid plate that starts at the crossmember, protects the sump and then fold up on the on the front plate Run it further back until it just covers the front edge of the bell-housing. That way it you ever need it, the rock you are sliding over won't pop up after the cross-member into that gap and smash the bottom off the bellhousing. It will need to have a bend in it, as it slopes down from front radiator crossmember to main engine crossmember then goes horizontal to overlap the bellhousing. Bolt it on under the rad and to the engine crossmember, leave it free at the back. Report
November 1, 201510 yr Author comment_701092 Ahh, yeah that makes a lot of sense making it longer, kind of got scared when i crashed the last time, an inch lower and my oil pan would have been smashed and probly the pickup aswell, an inch higher the radiator would have gone, going to reinforce the front end a bit, and I'm accutaly considering a half cage and 4 point harness when the summer comes arround and i don't need a back seat anymore, i need to send in an applycation for installing that, i'v also gotta send in one for the engine.. lots of paperwork and i travel a bit to get the swap/parts evaluteded :( actually hoping to get a job in a local workshop next year, found out i don't need school to be a eductaed mecanic, 4 years of practical work, the 2 first years i have to have a few hours a week at school tho, work with low payment but its still payment :D I'v got a problem here.. is this weldable? Report
November 1, 201510 yr Author comment_701102 okay so first off, I almost crashed into a moose today, coupple of feets away, locked my brakes for like 20 meters... scary! :o one of the reasons i hate driving at night! accutaly at the same place as my 2T-G overheated.. the place hates me! then i saw a 4age+T50 kit for sale and advertised my Cafe Racer to afford it, a guy is coming to look at my CR tomorow hoping it goes away! comes with everyting you need to run a 4age buetop/bigport + exhaust and it has log type manifold, engine has new main bearing, rod bearings, piston rings, every gasket and seal, water pump.. T50 box makes some noise, but hey its a T50! its only missing the electrical fuel pump and tailshaft, will my TA60 tailshaft fit the gearbox? or will my T series gearbox fit? hes asking 2000 AUD, I'm asking 2200 for my CR, perfect! i know its expencive but hey the 4AGE is REALLLY rare here, we only got 4 AE86's back in the days and all where used in rally, we got the FWD ae82 with 4age... i was looking in his engine bay at the last jap meet i was at, didn't know he was selling back then.. :( here is the ad: http://www.finn.no/f...hQuery=4age t50 Edited November 1, 201510 yr by SM Hunter Report
November 11, 201510 yr Author comment_701388 Bike is gone, 4age it is! not this weekend but the next I'm going to pick it up! anyways, iv found acompany here in norway that makes cages for cars, they have ke70 cages for cheap, will a KE70 main hoop fit a KE20? could anyone meassure out the hight of the roof and width in a ke70? the hight is adjustable with a angel grinder tho, the width is whats important.. :) Edited November 11, 201510 yr by SM Hunter Report
November 11, 201510 yr comment_701390 Yes, you can weld the ears back on the Webers. A mate of Steve's over-tightened one over the soft mount on the Celica rally car & snapped it off, and Steve had it re-welded. Delicate job tho'. Here's the KE70 dimensions we used- Then we made a mockup in random water pipe, and gave that to the local exhaust shop to bend the cage tube. We made the attachments and welded them up. The whole cage is removeable. This is the front half. Report
November 12, 201510 yr Author comment_701416 Thanks alot! will take meassurements in my car and see if it will fit :thumbsup: only thinking of a half cage since its a road car and i don't want to be driving with a helmet all the time.. Report
November 12, 201510 yr comment_701418 You can see the feet on it, they bolted onto box sections welded to the floor & sill. We had welded captive nuts inside the boxes as we built them. The pipes slide into the next-diameter-up stubs with two bolts holding them together. All past by CAMS.
