ta22 celica rotor conversion

[smidy]

hey

just atfer a few thoughts and opinions at the mo, im looking at doing a 20b conversion on my ta22, just wondering if ne 1 has heard of it being done b4 or got ne tips, its in the shop geting all the rust removed and repainted , should b finished by the end of next month, its currently got an old 4age in it so its not real origanal in that respect but yeah

[phrogmodz]

heres a tip

sell the ta22 to someone who respects pure bred
classic toyotas

and buy a rx4

dont ruin another ta22

[thaphatty]

i reckon! dont put a filthy rotary into a beautiful TA22!!!

put a 1UZ-FE in

[flygt4]

if you already have 4age mounts why not go for either a 4agze or 4agte setup...would be a fair bit of fun in a ta22 and you;d still be able to make it reliable and make a bit of power

[snwtoy]

Agreed, don't bastardize one of the few ta22 left.

1UZ-FE would be the business I reckon.

[Nuty|Mike]

i say go for the 20b i love ta22's but wat a car it would be with a 20b turbs of course.

Dont listen to the ppls around here they are mostly anti rotary.

And the mods will probly lock it anyway for fear of peoples opinions ?

[scope]

could just put in a 3t-gte, they go hard but i love rotors aswell and i would be impressed with a 20b in a ta22!

That makes no sense.

[snwtoy]

Why not?

[Dell'Orto]

Its still bastardizing it with a 1UZ.

A 20B would be interesting, but something like would be quite cool to keep original.

[snwtoy]

I guess you could look at it that way, but given it's from the same manufacturer, I don't

[Dell'Orto]

Its not a factory option, and you'd have to hack it a bit to fit

[snwtoy]

Its not a factory option, and you'd have to hack it a bit to fit

True, and that's not too cool. Perhaps a later model 3 series would be a better option

what's a "later model 3 series"? 3zz-fe 1.6L corolla engine?

personally, I think a 20B would be pretty cool for a TA22, although I wouldn't do it myself

[Inane]

pffft.

rip out the engine.
bolt 4x pulse jets on it...

now that'd be cool

[pervert]

Rotor the $&#$%, would be awesome, Toyspeed's anti-rotors, they seem to prefer slow and reliable motors...

[CozmoNz]

how many rotors you own?

[smidy]

yeah id have 2 say dat toy speed is pretty anti rotor, had an rx7 s4 b4 this and that was great fun, just thought putting a engine that makes just under 300hp standard in a car that weighs $&#$% all would b a bit of fun and diff,and if it doesnt get the 20b it probly wont be geting much done engine wise, im kinda an all or nothing guy

[z|gen]

umm..your asking about a rotary conversion on a toyota site, you should expect a bit of flak about it, your best bet is to go to a rotary forum and ask there, you'l get a much better response.

[rxtoy]

1uzfe won't fit without some serious mods, mainly steering involved (it will physically fit but you have to convert to R&P). its quite difficult to do because there are no steering racks that are even close to working so custom stuff is a necessity and doing custom steering involves knowing a fair bit about bump steer and all that sort of stuff. there's a really good article on www.toymods.org.au forums about it though.

as for a 20B i say go for it, the cars already gone from stock and the carbied 2T's are pretty average motor's IMO so returning it to stock isn't really a decent option. 3SGE's don't seem to be the easiest conversions to do and the TA22 engine bays aren't exactly huge.

brake conversions are pretty common for these cars, have a look on toymods but basically you can use later model toyota stuff for cheap or if you've got some serious coin i'm 99% sure (i know they do for T/RA23/28's) wilwood do a nice big brake conversion. rear brakes aren't a big deal since you'll need a new diff for that 20B anyway
