project TE71 IT'S ALIVE!!

[banpei]

Those sedans are quite common, however I think the 2 door version is a bit more difficult to find.
What are the wheels of the TE7x called? They look a bit like the pizzacutters of the AE86, but they are not the same.

i used to have a 1980 4 door sedan. no pics though. it was pretty nice. i had a 3t-c with 44 mikuni, ae86 suspension and front brakes, and much more. but i had to junk it.

the usa had many #E7#. they had the ke70 like mentioned above, te72 with 1.8l 3t-c, ae71 with 1.6l 4a-c. they are now harder to find for sale. but easy to find in the junkyards. i am still going to find a 4 door sedan and finish the old project.

i wouldn't say that!



This one pulls out about 100 crank HP from an 4K engine!
And this isn't the only one, a lot of blueprinted 4K's have around 100 hp!

AFAIK overbored 3K engines (to achieve 1.3l) reached 180 hp NA setups in TOSCO (TRD) setup....

Yeah, I had a KP62 Starlet which also had around 90-100hp from the 4K in it - used tuned extractors, 300deg cam, four motorcycle carbs(!) and a ported 3K head for about 10:1 CR. Compared to the stock 4K in my KE70, that was a whole different world.



Had to sell the Starlet though, but for a good cause - saving up money to buy an AE86.

so this week i did the front struths and brakes
rebuild the brake calipers and painted them
repainted the struths into red (just like the calipers)
and put in the new wheelbearings and put it all back together

i know one thing for sure...... this brakes are a LOT bigger then the stock ones
its home made and i do know that the brake pads are from a nissan sylvia s12 and the discs i dont know!,not nissan
and the thingie where the brake caliper is mounted on is also hand made(and remade by me to fit on the ae86 leda suspension)all the brake stuff came off an old rally TE71 thats taked apart by me

check it out!!

Well, actually it did not. I had to cut a 10cm piece from one support brace from underneath the hood and even still, the frontmost carb touched the inside when revving the engine. I then fabricated a small hump (about 3cm high) to the hood to clear the carbs better.
