Fattest KE10 rolla

[Hurricane]

when i got me 20 redgoed i had to say what the weight of it was so i think that it is 800kg i didnt think to say that it was heavyer to help in convestions

[JustenGT8]

Yeah looks like i'm screwed for what i wanted....anyone seen any 2MZs for sale ?

[oldcorollas]

rear mounted for wheelstand mobile?

they say 1970 corolla = 746... but the old code of practice for NSW had a listing specifically for KE10 and KE20...

in NSW they used the heaviest sedan with no options...or did.. and same is planned for NCOP

[JustenGT8]

All alloy, lighter than the rotary Not as good centre of gravity but i'm not looking for a track weapon, just a competent cruiser i can have a play when the mood takes me...will toast most comers though

[oldcorollas]

hmmm 2MZ has nice bore/stroke

hmm... sleeved (de-bored) it would be legal in NSW also

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[JustenGT8]

I think it's legal at 2.5 litres anyway? What is the calc?

[TA-022]

weights dont include options like aircon etc.

so bags in the boot dont help

[oldcorollas]

I think it's legal at 2.5 litres anyway? What is the calc?

3x weight... so it's still a little big or 2.5x turbo (same for NSW now and NCOP)
hmm.. sleeve/destroke to 2.2L, give it a decent balance and a decent set of cams

[RONA]

Why not use a beams 3sge.

[oldcorollas]

very tall... and boring

[JustenGT8]

Yup looking like a BEAMs FTW.

My days of opening engines and playing for the fun of it are long gone. The OEM factory engineering is just too good and lightyears ahead of what 99% of machine shops can produce so as they say "if it ain't broke don't try and fix it". So, no sleved and destroked 2MZ i'm afraid

BEAMs looks good on paper but may be too tall? 1ZZ or 2ZZ have some appeal, especialy with some FI.

Not quite 'out there' enough for me but looks like i'm gonna be a tad constrained on this build.

Not sure if you're aware Justen but there's nowhere easy to mount the starter motor in standard form on the 1MZ (I presume you're wanting to convert it for RWD). There is however a nice bit of webbing in the block that looks plum ripe to be machined away to make room.

No doubt you can make it happen.

Hi,

Car weights are usually set by the appropriate Road/Traffic authority and it doesn't necessarily correlate with the manufacturers specified weight. They'll look up KE10 and say it weighs x-kilos and that's what they will go by. I don't think that by adding extra weight to make it up to the weight you desire will work.

compare the height of engine bay with the AE86, and then check Bills pictures of fitting the Beams in.

as for 2ZZ, the SC path has already been paved with the Lotus Elise....
and RWDness has been done for clubmans..

mmm 2ZZ.....

[JustenGT8]

I'm guessing it don't look too good in the AE86 then?

Not really across the ZZ range, care to educate me?
