chrisandliz[RL] Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 hi, boyz. i just got a 3t-c. i was doing some research and i read about 18r. is there some way of getting one in to my ke70 or is there some hiden rule about stealing for bigger bother models? i have a t50 gearbox, and the celica has a w50. is there any way that you can get a 18r to run with a t50 on it?or do i need to use the w50 this is my 3tc i'm gonna remove the E crap and put a weber on it! :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falken_KE30 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 why would you want to put a 18r in fullstop!!?? I had one in a corona wagon, gutless as hell for a 2lt, heck a 3k is better!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teddy Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 If he wants to put an 18R into a Ke70, so be it. Hes not committing any crimes :dance: there was no R series motors that bolt straight up into any of the *E7* series; id say theres some modification involved. Oh, and if anyone else posts in here "oh thats a crap conversion / don't do it / etc - I'm just going to delete your post, hands down no questions asked.

Falken_KE30 Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'm not saying don't do it, I'm just saying hes downgrading from a 4k to a 18r If your going to the effort to fit a 18r, then go the extra mile to fit a 18rg. He asked for opinions, i gave him mine. ive owned one, its crap for a 2lt. If you do go through then good luck mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 18R's and RG's were not an awe inspiring engine. Paint it blue, that way you wont scare the fish when you throw it overboard. :hmm: I'd go the T option over the R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st.nick Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 ^^ I concur, A mate of mine built a group G Mazda with an 18RG, and he said the engine just didn't make a worthwhile $-to-BHP ratio.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwarf Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Yes, you can pull good numbers with an 18RG, but getting the good stuf for them these days is getting really difficult. They're a bit tricky to build a strong one, and have a nasty tendency to spin main bearings. They're also a HEAVY engine. I'd still be looking at the t option.

Dan Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 18R was the engine run in the late 70s and early 80s Hiluxes and TA28 Celicas, am I correct? Well if the 18R fits in the engine bay (what crossmember would be used) of a KE70, would the diesel Hilux motor fit? Be a good paddock basher if you had the bits laying around (like I might just happen to)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Oh ok, so thats where all the model designations come from.. ie AE71 = A series motor, KE55 = K series motor.. does that continue in the ZZE models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
