[mikemikeyee]

any info on the build available on the net? mainly would like to know what rods you went with.

[Martman77]

@mikemikeyee Not a lot of detailed engine stuff, but the rods are Pauter from Australia.

[NEVERENDS90]

@NEVERENDS90 its i hybrid 7a block with 4age head. they go mean.

[NEWanjingkepala3]

you should put quotation marks around the 7AGTE in the description..

I almost believe that your engine is a real "7A-GTE" after I look up wiki about the engine and found out that toyoyta didn't even make an "7A-GE"...

great car you have there,, though..

btw where do you live??

[Martman77]

Yeah 7AGTE is a hybrid engine, not an official designation.

Located in New Zealand.

@Martman77 Hi would just like to know what kind of suspension people use for the ke70 because i cant find kits anywhere, some people say kits that fit the ae86 can be made to fit these cars but it seems as if you cant get a straight forward bolt on coilover kit for it? help would be appreciated thanx oh and great car btw

@NEWanjingkepala3

7agte

7afe bottom end mated with 4age head. Toyota A-series engines have interchangeable heads/bottom ends.

then added turbo with the T.

[easy313]

just goes to show, with good power to weight ratio and a good driver you can keep up with the best of them

[skaltura]

Simply awesome video! Hope to see more like this :) Shows the true potential of the 30yo, probably most unappreciated car in near history ;) I loved beating high powered Nissan's etc. at track with my Corolla Coupe 4AGE too ;D

[ilovesplittys]

Iv been thinking of engine ideas for my other KE,once iv done the twin charge on my road one.

Think this vid has decided for me :D

I'll be well happy if mine ever goes that well

Thanks for posting it up man

[byxman89]

what type of power are you putting out? I have a TE72 with a 3tc under the hood. i think its kind of funny when im racing and I pass people runing V8's but you top the cake being able to run with race spec gtrs. good job man.

[Martman77]

Current spec is up to about 500hp. There is still a bit more to be made in there though. Power to weight and good drive out of the corners help against the GTR's.

[sauce1234561]

rolla for life

[datezy]

thats a crazy lil engine ,,, i just picked up a ke70 yours goes hard

[timberwolve38]

thats awesome mate! bet those GTR's were shitting themselves that a 20-30 year old corolla was keeping up to them. seems like you know how to drive it too. keep it up chief

[Turbojonny5]

Hi!

,Wondering ...what king of wheel/rim are those?

on the green 21 car.

[ladakering]

haha

[toperc15]

wait wait wait 7AGTE?

[Martman77]

easier than calling it a 7A bottom end with a 4AGE 20V BT head and a turbo on the side.

[toperc15]

oh cool cool

i see lol i was like "what...?"

LOL

thanks

[tougeae71]

seriously?

why not run bigger gear diff/w-series box etc and over the top bracing to get the weight up instead of totally useless dead weight..?

do you have a car build thread on a forum or anything?

[Martman77]

Already has a Hilux diff and a W57 box, and with weight's I can place them where I want to get a good weight distrubution. At the moment it had 48% of it weight on the rear wheels which is good for an FR car.

[tougeae71]

well dont forget lads its a light car compared to a gtr, and the type of suspension is simple yet effective. it doesnt take much to get them to handle well.

[Martman77]

Not that much lighter, I have to run a heap of lead weight in the car to get up to class weight,

and the skylines are pretty stripped down to weight too.

[luvmuhford]

ahah i agree wit Luu %100

[green85]

simply awesome, 5 stars

[LUu1990]

Woah! Is it really a ke70? I can't believe how well that handles being almost 30 year old car! Although I doubt there is anything that old in it. Amazing car!

[Martman77]

lol, the body's still 30 years old.

Yeah KE70 DX Corolla, about 1981 model.

[PhilboAE71]

Well done, sticking it with GTRs and beating one too. Could you give some specs on the motor?

[Martman77]

Toyota 7A block with Supercharged 1600 pistons, and blacktop 20V head. just over 400hp atw.

[XxFly1ngH1ghH4rdyzxX]

seriously wicked car matt. Big ups
