Finally A decision has been made!!!!

[cozmoid]

It's only taken a year but I have finally decided what to do with repowering my AE70 notchback

I was thinking of a 4AGE or 3SGE conversion but sorta wanna keep the theme of the car original. These engines are far too new for my chassis so

My car used to come out as a GT TE71 with a 2T 1600cc twin cam engine.
This is goin to be my choice. I am going to make it into a GT.
Its going to be a bit of a job but some of the details and parts are already confirmed

What I can get!
2t block with oversized pistons etc (becomes 1800cc)
Head and cams etc is no prob (will be mildly ported)
My cousin is going to build the engine (he has the wicked blue KE30)
TE71 crossmember

What I need!!
Supra gear box
XT corona rearend
bellhousing for t series engine to w series box
Silvertop quad throttles!
Link computer
Custom intake manifold

If anyone can help me on my search for these parts please message me or leave a post

Cheers
RWD Oldskool Forever!

you need a 3T crank and pistons to get the 1770cc, but with 89mm pistons this will be closer to 2 litre.

to use a W box, you can get a W40 corona bellhousing and fit the w-50 box, or the 3TGT bell and use W-55/7/8 box.

ideally you need to buy a manual 3T corona pre-82 as a donor for parts.

ive got a XT corona diff drum to drum if youre keen, im in dunedin. $80 and you pick it up

All this work has already been done on the engine! My cousin is a xperienced t series engines man!!

i do have a w-40/50-> T bellhousing, but may need it myself, but will investigate others.
essentially, you won't need the TE71 x-member, as the AE70 has the same mounts.

Dude... it's dunedin, half of us are cousins, the others are just outcasts

yup sure am

We just sorta clicked that that would be the most sensible cost effective plan

Sorta keeps the whole TE71 theme to the car too

So the cozmo vs cozmoid wont result in me passing you at the end of first gear again this time .

If your talking about that ke30 we you took on matt, be interesting to see how it went when it wasnt full of people.

i wouldn't bother taking it on anymore hahaha, he just spent 4 grand on cams pistons blah blah etc etc for his new engine

[CozmoNz]

Yeh i know, its way outta my league, i should jsut spend the same amount on the mr2.. but then shed have a 600hp 3sgte up its bum .

Be a little unfair then though

and i ment down the street with the toyota wreckers (South african (i think) guy used to work there, i forget his name).

id be amazed if he didnt beat a completely stock 4agze mr2... be a little sad if he didnt wouldnt it .

600hp with only 4g? man you must have some good hookups haha, can you let me in on them too?

[Alex B]

Concidering a Gen 3 3s-gte will cost you in teh regon of $2.5k to buy in the first place

[CozmoNz]

your telling me damos only spent $4k on that rolla, TOTAL?!

you just said hes just spent that on pistons and cams, not to mention the ecu, quads, and everything else done to the car not the engine lol.

ive spent what on the mr2, performance mods total $0, and maintaince still only tops the $100-200 mark lol.

how much hp is this 2t/3t hybrid putting out?

hes still building the new engine at the moment, so no dyno figures yet

sorry i didn't realise you were talking about total cost

haha hes probably spent more like 10grand on the entire car

[cozmoid]

The engine I will be getting wont be nowhere near the shit that damo's doin to his new engine. It should be around the HP of his last engine when you raced it cozmo nz. Except with quad throttles!! so hopefully we can have a good race!!!!
