ra23 conversion

[TA-022]

wtf?! 18RG came in RA celicas with the same brakes. So brake upgrade shouldnt be nesacary. Although it is always a wise investment

Corona XT130 has twin piston calipers which is a good small brake upgrade... just grab a pair of them ... they bolt in.

The 18RG bit, i didn't know.

But. XT130's DO NOT come with twin piston calipers. They come with Girlock single pistons. The only reason i know this, i drive one... lol @ me

However xt130 struts can be used for peugeot rotor/ hilux caliper brake upgrade, which kicks ass apparently.

RT132 liftback definitly come with and some XT130's do come with the sumitomo twin pistons calipers

make sure u take the strut hub and disc with u too.

EDIT: ohh yeah and agree with nathan wtf 18R-C to 18R-G wouldnt need a brake upgrade an engine change certificate should do.

i pulled xt130 struts with twin (opposed) piston calipers for my hilux pug upgrade.

xt130 did come with them ... just maybe not all

With the 1ggte conversion, does anyone have any of the technical articles that used to float around. I know of the one on the old toymods website which can't be viewed anymore. There was also one on the net which i cant find anymore either . I didnt save any of them because i did not have the time or money to do it but now that i do i cant find any of them. .

If you have any technical articles please let me know and i'll pm you my email address.

Dont know how relevant it is to you, but I just had a ra60/ 1ggte engineered and the brakes were fine. Cost of engineering $650
Good luck!

[TA-022]

std RA60 brakes? interesting ... please confirm.

[Norbie]

I got my 2JZ-GTE conversion engineered with stock MA61 brakes which are pretty much the same as RA60 brakes but with rear discs. It was explained to me that anything post-1977 (when some brake-related ADR was introduced) doesn't need a brake upgrade provided the engine conversion falls within the weight-related guidelines. Not sure if that's still the case but it was 5 years ago.

[TA-022]

very good. as ive heard plenty of people using ra60 in ta22s and ive got a friends 3tgte to put into one. Minimal fuss upgrade ... i likey lotey!

[turmite]

yup, plain old RA60 set up! They are pretty good anyways. I will stick a disk rear end in when this one breaks. lol Probably not far away.
