mark105 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 t series diff can fit just fits out a bit my t series came from an aa60 carina and it had 195/60/14 on 14x6.5 rwd offset rims in that photo, 17x7 fwd offset fit just under the small molded flares the car has, with 15x7 0 offset i am hoping to cover the tyres with 2 inch bolt on flares yeh i thought thats what it would be like. thats about what i plan to do. lemme know how it goes.

AE25 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 if you want an engine conversion on the cheap the 2t or 3t is the way to go. preferably the 3t! still plenty parts around and cheap as chips. 2t's come factory in the te28 wagon etc so they built for em. will need to make engine mounts and move ke26 gearbox xmember rearwards and redrill the mounting holes wider. make 2" exhaust, mod radiator piping to l/h side, shorter accellerator cable, may need to use single type brake master cylinder to clear intake, change to hydraulic clutch, upgrade front springs to take the extra weight. tho the engine weight is negligible... i mean, are you going to be track racing it ffs? with the T50 you'll have to cut the shifter hole further back unless you can find the very early model ta22 T50 box (pretty rare). if using a 20spline t50, find a late 70's corona driveshaft as they have decent size uni's, and get that shortened (mine cost $80 to shorten from driveshaft specialists in aucks). if using the ke26 diff, the locating ring is smaller than all the larger toyota diffs.. so watch for this if using a corona driveshaft! you may have to just use the std ke26 shaft which will bolt in to the 20spline t50... but any good thrashing tends to break the ke26 unis behind a 2t. (ask tup2t heh heh i broke his 2tg ke20 uni) the std ke26 diff will last if you drive normally... but who does!? if you dont, then see if you can source a T series 6.7" diff from an early 70's corona as they're not much wider than the std diff and have leaf springs. so less mods required to make em fit.. T series are a 10bolt diff head instead of the std 8bolt. but theres many diffs with 10bolt so check crown wheel size) may only need to cut and weld the ke26 mounts onto it.. i think these are rt80 and earlier model corona. compared to say te71 or ae86 which you'll need to run fwd offset rims coz diff is too wide (ghey). or spend big $$$ to get the diff shortened. if you use the larger corona drums then may have to look into upgrading the front brakes or install adjustable brake bias valve. (or can swap ke26 drums on new diff depending which one it is). yada ya theres always more than just dropping an engine in! once thats all sorted theres plenty potential to upgrade the T engine. have a good browse throught http://www.toyota3tc.com forums! did you see the te27 in the performance car yearbook?? if you need more info on the conversion i'm pretty knowledgeable on the subject... got a ke26 myself happy to help and im putting 2tg in mine too... just need time to get stuck into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE25 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 to keep it simple.. can keep std diff and driveshaft and use 20spline t50. if you think they not up to the task, then consider upgrade later. some tips: if you have the B series 5.7" diff head then it's a simple swap to the U series 6" like in later ke20/25/26, ke30, ke70, kp61 etc. diff will be ok if you don't do anything stupid like burnouts, drift or drag launch it. wear in the axle spline or gears will most likely destroy it from shock load rather than outright power. don't run wider than 185 tyres or run a puck clutch for instance... has to be a fuse in the drivetrain somewhere. brad (in club-k showoff page) got a best of 13.7sec 1/4 with a locked 6" diff in his kp61 starlet powered by 4ag... got to give the diff some credit and he only blew one diff head. he ran old slicks off a formula ford (which are bikkies btw). TRD lsd for the X 5.6", B 5.7" and U 6" diff are no longer in production, so they pretty scarce and expensive.. i'd check with toyota and see if they still produce spare parts for em too heh. mr revhead, blown5k or wde_bdy may know more on that. whereas can buy brand new TRD and other aftermarket lsd's for the T series 6.7" hence why they a good upgrade option. yup dats the dude, rob aitken.. orange/white rally spec te27. watched him racing it at pukekohe in 2001! the car had been setup for tarmac at that stage from its old rally guise.. he was rebuilding the 2tg then too.. i was stoked to see it in the mag.. got poster on wall that car enthused me to build my ke25 SR to te27 spec... it'll get there one day lol albeit with much more powerful and stronger drivetrain! raarr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 stock diff til it pops then be interesting to see how much she can handle and in the mean time just save up to get a decent T series shortened. other option is to stay K series as my mate has a KE25 which he is 7agze'ing so he doesnt want his 4k or K50 or diff (i have no diff head) and make a nice worked 4K engine mebbe slap a turbo on it. yeh i knew that would be the case with the lsd i was more wondering if it would handle a 2t-g in front of it cause could be a costly mistake to break such a lsd. i have not seen that te27 race and its up for sale now, was hoping to see it in targa next year but dunno if i will now. but yes is a very very nice car, $40k worth of classic rally car how nice would it be to own that...

AE25 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 and to think he said he'd want 10G back in 2001, which back then was a heap of money... oh how i wish i wasnt a poor student! plenty options there to mod a ke26.... decide on a plan and stick to it... do it once, do it right etc etc. costs less in the end unlike me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 yeh just gonna do it proper get a rear axel shortened and get it over and done with, just wondering how would this suit as a donor car? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=85993482 10G damn shoulda braught it tiz on trademe now http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=85176824 any one got a spare 35k it be one hell of a car to own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AE25 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 oh wicked, he got his own website for it too http://www.creaitken.com/GG43/ love that car, but 35k buys you a rally car with history.. something a collector would be after. whereas if you just wanted a genuine te27, head to japan and import one for $15k heh if you just want a T series.. what bout finding an rt80 or rt102 etc corona T series diff.. which ever is the correct width you're after.. saves ya shortening it from memory rt80 was 1370mm wide (theres one at pickapart but not a T series). the ta61 GT is most likely a T series IRS diff. so no use for a ke26. the live axle versions in the lesser spec ta61 and tt141 etc are approx 1415mm wide. (in comparison ae86/te71 is approx 1400mm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 could get something like this also http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... d=85899356 was unaware starlets have a 4 link rear suspension tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark105 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 i just want a toyota diff that will match up nicely to a slightly modified 2tg and a T series matched that application nicely by the looks and not having to get one shortened is a bonus. i havent hurd of takanini pickas? got more details?

AE25 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 http://www.pickapartnz.co.nz/locations.htm do you know how wide you want your diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 im not entirely sure where to measure from and with the original rear axel still under the car and rims on it it make it hard to measure from drum to drum but i want it prety much same as the original one. so seen as tyres is on from outside edge of tyre to tyre its bout 1400mm so take a bit for drum to drum 1380mm would be perfect. it says on the site parts are a fixed price so from memory can you remember how much a rear axel is?

AE25 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 yup complete rear end drum to drum $65. (not including any mounts, handbrake cables, springs, shocks etc diff head $42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 sweet price considering the cost of shortening one. my only question is i would be a nub when it came to identifying it (extreamly new to all this) what am i lookin for when i goto pick it up?
