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

[RONA]

Live axle with 4 wheel discs gimme gimme please.

No one has mentioned the T18 rear axle into a sprinter yet. These will bolt directly in giving a t series rear end for an aussie sprinter, hence allowing higher gear ratio and LSD to be fitted. Some models Will need ARB mounts welded to the diff but that is easy

Also all sorts of diff centres and axles can be swapped in from different model cars with t series diffs...

ARB mounts? Im sure you mean swaybar mounts, in which case you just neatly cut them off your old S-series.

The corona disks may even bolt up to them too... there goes the market for disk brake sprinter diffs.

Nah I meant ARB cos thats what it is
No Idea about the corona discs though

[takai]

ARB also is a large manufacturer of aftermarket parts for 4WDs, they do make lots of diff stuff, hence the confusion.

Corona discs almost bolt up, you have to do some dicking around with filing bits out though.

[RobertoX]

Ok sorry about that

Do the calipers bolt on or is a new caliper mount required?
What sort of things need to be 'dicked' around with?

Not really an oddity, but an interchanging myth. One thing I have been told is TA22 and RA23 bonnet hinges are NOT interchangable. I would like to disperse this myth.



Looks a little bit funny due to the angle , but I assure you they are identical.

Almost the same... on the ones i have, the hinge part is the same but where it bolts to the body, RA28/23 ones have a slightly different bolt pattern, inside holes are wider spaced

[Gleno28]

Also...

TA22 AUTO tailshaft matches RA28/23 in length and spline (W5x boxes)
(TA22 manual spline is too small)
- watch out however for the rubber joiner on some of these "one piece" shafts

Not totally confirmed yet, but it looks right from the underside... RT142 avante fuel tank in the RA60 celica... great for that 22RE conversion, as the 142 tank already has an in tank pump . Ill re-post when i can confirm or deny this (a couple of weeks time)

Door hinges for all the AE86 boys with saggy doors.
look for sv11 camry and al25?? tercel(the first 4wd corolla thing)

ls400 has the same tank gsket as a ae86!

KE70 strut tops = AE86 GT ones give you a few degrees more castor

I'll find a shed load more when i get my epc going again, cross referencing rocks

RA65 and MA61 tanks will definately bolt in 100% too.
EFI, and intank pump.

MZ10 tanks are the same but use external pumps.

A few odd-bits when comparing 4WD Toyota stuff...

RAV's and GT-Four's share the same drivetrain setup, only front/rear drive bias is reversed.
Dropping in a 3S-GTE into a 3S-FE's engine bay will be a tad tight, but it will work. No mods necessary, mounts are the same.
Front driveshafts for GT-Four's are ¼" longer than the RAV's, but you can get a spacer to fix this. Rear driveshafts are identical. All use the same # of splines.

Also, fuel pumps can be interchanged as well. The RAV has a 120L/hour (from memory) fuel pump in-tank, whereas the GT-Four has a slightly larger length 255L/hour Walbro pump in-tank, and can fit into the same space minus the rubber spacer. Makes quite a substantial difference when turbo'ing a RAV.

nissan sumitomto 4spot calipers bolt to jzx and mx81 struts (and others im sure), not a toyota swap but still interesting and helpful.

[Andrew162]

Another "interchangeable" thing I thought of...

How many engines is the Toyota PK20R8 spark plug used in? I know it's used in some 3S-GTE's.
