Gearbox 4 4k?

[DXROLLA]

Hey just wondering whats the best 5spd gearbox 2 get 4 the 4k and what do they come out of, also same with diff im wanting a lsd that bolts strait in or with minimal effort.
Cheers

The best gearbox would be a K50, unless you're making some huge power (comparatively ) then you could get a T50.
Diff, it kinda depends on vehicle.

[DXROLLA]

I herd you can use the diff out of coronas i thnk r they lsd?

[Low_Aa63]

corona is a pretty rough generilsation. you have to be more specific around here.. you may possibly be wanting a t series rear or even an s series rear that would be an acceptable upgrade for a standard rolla.

[Dell'Orto]

Exactly, are you talking about a KEx or KPx chassis here?

[DXROLLA]

Its a 1982 ke70 sedan just finished moding the 4k so wanting a lsd and 5spd box but not sure what to get.
Also i went to the clasic car racing at ruapuna the other wekend and sore a starlet with the cooling fan on radiater on the outside instead of in the engine bay side is there any advantage in doing this or is it just a space thing?

[Dell'Orto]

A K50 will be sweet provided you dont slam shift and do standstills all the time

[DXROLLA]

Kewl and are these just a strait bolt on to the 4k? do you have to change drive shafts or nething from the k40 gearbox i think mine is

[Dell'Orto]

Yep, goes right in.

[Low_Aa63]

good luck finding a u series lsd

[Low_Aa63]

oh and kp's run thermo switches for there radiator fans its less drag on the motor instead of trying to spin a fan with the water pump run it off a battery, and if its on the other side it makes no difference it just means its blowing instead of sucking.

U code LSD's are around - just gotta keep an eye out

[Low_Aa63]

a u series lsd would most probably be worth more than your eye! they only came out in kp turbo's or sumthing....

[Dunny]

Not true - I own 2 of them and 1 is brand spanking new still in the box, the other is in my race car. I have a mate who also owns 2 of them and has another one for parts.

KP's never came out turbo factory so not sure where you are getting your facts from.

TRD made a U & X code LSD back in the 80's and 90's, when they used to have a starlet race series in Japan.

Like I said they are still around if you know where to look. As for price, I paid $650 for my brand new one.

[Low_Aa63]

yes but factory fittments is what i wanna know.. and there was a factory turbo kp bugeye 4kte.

Damn, you must be really really well informed on Starlets.













Or just believe every scrap of bullshit someone tells you.

[Mr Revhead]

you are probably thinking of some race car.
there was NEVER a kp series starlet turbo made and sold by toyota.

there were some special versions of K and T sereis engines that probably found there way into factory race cars but none of those were turbo that i can recall.

[Blown5k]

oops think there`s a turbo missing out of that statement.

[Mr Revhead]

i have no idea what your talking about
