The locked diff comment reminded me of a mate who modified the diff of his old corolla.

He some how welded it so that it was a one wheel drive.

After that he was able to step on the brake at any speed in any gear and instantly smoke it.

Had it down the burn out comp and won one of the years also.

The problem with one wheel drive is the slightest incline and the thing gets bogged as you try to take off, simply sits there and spins. Awesome fun.

1 wheel drive genrally happens when you snap a weld with having a locker.. 1 wheel cant seem to get traction no matter the powerplant.

in fact deluxe i might be able to find a small side draught for you? mate has all sorts from when he had a to4'd 179 in a hd holden.

Yeh nice the old lockers in my mates old Cilica used to go thru Axles like there was no tomorrow.

Oh and Jase if there was a side draught webber there to be used that would be sweet as they don't seem to be easy to find these days, You think it'll go straight on?

I think thats what he's done.. welded up just single spinner for the burnout comp. He eventually became annoyed with it and dropped in a normal diff again. He wasn't keen on lockers, especially as it was gutless. :mellow:

im not to shure if there is a webber there, ill have to check tomorrow, from memory there is a dellorto and a stromberg.

either would be totaly sufficiant for what you want, its just a matter of fabricating the necisary manifolds ect..

pretty straight forward stuff.. you will have a hell of a time making the thing run right.

is a factory t25 t28 wastegated at 7-8 psi?

Be careful, the pistons are like porcelain, they blow ringlands at any time. You

will have to limit it to 80rwkw and keep boost under 10psi. Shaun ex apprentice built one

using my old parts (cam, turbo, intercooler) on a 5 k , it made 100rwkw on 12psi.

Mine made 156rwkw on pump fuel:), arguably the worlds most powerful toyota K motor.

LOL yeh nice..... nothings has really progressed apart from some C__T cutting me off 2 days ago and now i'm up for a new bummper, lights(well U Pull it) and some handy pannel work to be done by myself, but apart from that i was thinking of only putting on a webber and exhaust and maybe just keep it reliable.

But 156kw out of a 5k would have been some REAL NICE fun!

    • Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.
    • Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
    • Wow that's a steal, you've done well there.

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
