Toyota's Interchangable Oddities.... (TIO#)

Also note that there is a completely seperate thread for inter-marque interchangabilities.

Thats where most of your observations should go.

a good general throttle cable upgrade for RWD celicas (and others) is the MX62 cable. it is long as (unlike the RA60 item) and it will fit any engine pretty much. i had it in the RA40 with the 18RG and its a PERFECT fit for the 1GGTE!!!. these pedals come in floor-mounted config and floating config. It was really nothing to adapt it to the ra40

TA/RA2X doors are interchangeable, except the early ta22 did not have side intrusion bars.
clutch slave/master cylinders seem to be (or at least work) the same for ta22/ra23/ra40 at least and prob a whole lot more.

RAV4 Rear Shocks fit the SA63/RA65/MA61

I question the "fact" that ae92 front hubs are the same as AW11 rears.

From what I saw the AW11 rear hubs have a bolt-on T-piece below them that contains the ball joint that bolts DOWN into the wishbone.

The AE92 on the other hand uses a traditional wishbone bourne balljoint that goes UP into the hub.

On the up side, it appears as if the 5-stud sv20 Camry hubs are identical to the AW11's. I cannot 100% verify it, but they look bloody similar if someone's looking for a stud pattern upgrade.

not the whole stub axle.. just the wheel hub itself. as in the piece you press into the bearing and then the wheel bolts onto.

on both of our twos they have had a wheel bearing give up and chew out the hub piece. both of the rear left hubs on our twos are currently off ae92's

not only interchanagble but part number is the same 43502-20030

Axles that will fit a TE72 diff after they have been shortened 10mm with an angle grinder:
RT132 (Jap spec worked, can't comment on Oz)
RA60

I assume RA40 would also mork, but I haven't witnessed it yet.

Fair enough then. What other stub axles are the same - do you know?
I swear the SV20 camry's looks spot on, but it'd be nice to know for sure.

bit of an oddity here. but it is possible to put TA22 Celica struts into a KE30/55 corolla without modifitying the strut tower and using a standard KE30/55 strut top if you use a ST141 corona rear spring INVERTED.

a simple brake upgrade then would be JDM AE86 vented rotors & calipers with custom brackets and there you have a pretty simple strut setup for the KE30/55.

NOW the advantage of using TA22 struts over XT130. TA22 are shorter therefore do not need to be shortned if you wish to lower the car a decent amount without converting to coilovers. whilst the hilux twin spot calipers will bolt the the XT130 struts you can do a VERY simple brake upgade on the TA22's using a Girlock (Commodore VK-VS) caliper and a Pintara 250mm vented disc.

EDIT - The bracket im talking about would have to be custom made. Please do not PM me about this. Thankyou.

MX75 (i think) rear brake pads are the same as a corona disk rear.

Im not 100% thats the model of the cressida but it's something that is similar to that.

pretty sure this hasn't been posted.

21R distributor electronic internals bolt inside the 18R (some 18RG) distributors with no modifications.

This is excellent if you need a method for triggering an aftermarket computer.

see attached photos. or see here for more larger photos,

The points carrier just unbolts out of the 18r dizzy and the VR sensor carrier bolts in. The top half of the dizzy shaft is completely swapped with the top half from the 21r (little screw down the middle) The vr sensor wiring even fits nicely out a slot in the dizzy body.

Cheers

chris_rg:
would this require a remapping of the distributor for the 18 r after you have put the 21 r internals in it?

The end result still uses the mechanical advance weights and vacuum advance thingo from the 18r so the advance should be fine. This means you can swap over all the electronic ignition parts such as ignitor and coil as use the as a points replacement option.

Bare in mind that one 18rg dizzy i have here is totally different and 21r bits don't fit.

In my setup though i have removed the weights and added a washer so that the top half of the shaft is locked to the bottom half. I have also adjusted the vacuum advance so that it has no movement. The sensor triggers the computer which handles advance itself.

22r dizzy bits fit too
