Cool.

Well, how does it go?? :ninja:

Weighing only around 850-900kg as you would imagine it goes quite fast and breaks traction very easily... :blink: thx, Hexx.

It's still only running 10-12pound, but the engine has been built to take upto 18-20pnd... just waiting a decent ecu to be fitted before I wind up the bleed valve.

Thanks for the comments guys!!

Hi D3fo's

Just a quick question as to what company you bought you rebuild kit from Australia or overseas. I am in the process of starting a rebuild on an 1988 model Corolla 2 Turbo

I am finding it hard to locate a rebuild kit. Any help would be fantastic.

Cheers

Howdy mate, I beleive toyota is still able to provide rings, barings and gaskets. We didn't need to get a kit so-to-speak as majority of the engine is now modified and bottom end was fresh when we pulled it down. Best bet would be to give Ferris a call @ Quattromotive, these guys have been doing the rebuild, check www.quattromotive.com.au for contact details.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hey robie,

The engine build is finished, but the tuning has just begun. So, roughly about another 2-3 weeks until rwc and all bugs sorted.

You know there has been alot of speculation on what we should expect out of this motor from alot of differnet people but at the end of the day the dyno sheet will tell the story ( which I will post here ), you can make your own guess in the mean time... also have to keep in mind car dry weight is only 890kg I beleive.

Hi people,

Good to see other EL31 fans exist.

I have 8 of these little bricks in my collection and have wrecked at least another 5 or so.

I have an 88 gp that im currently using as a daily that runs 13 psi (love the torque curve).

I haven't had any time to do anything with them in a while but in the not too distant

future i will be focusing some time to play with them.

I will be parting some of them out but will only relinquish parts to dedicated enthusiasts.

Anyway guys keep up the good work.

Cheers Sonic76, Good to meet another el31 fan and even better that you have spares!

I will be chasing some door cards and a clean dash if you have one around, let me know.

Alas, it's time to go.... 4 years in the shop, over 25k spent and now a young one on the way, so the toys have to go.

This littel el31 now has literally the most worked/modified 3e-te engine on the planet. It's being delivered next week and will promptly be listed on ebay & autotrader for around $6k mark.

I will post pics of all the new running gear, the good, the bad, etc. as soon as it's on my drive way.

Thanks for reading and if anyone might be interested, please please please reply, becuase I would really like to see this mental unit go to a good home.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
