Corolla Frenzy

OHHHHHHHH I HAVE THAT!!!!!!! YESSSSS It fell out on the 110mpg drive back from tacoma!!! Wondered wtf this little thing was. Thank you sooooooo muchhhhh!!!!

Yes! Thank you much for details. I have a feeling there wasn't a ball, but only a spring. This is no good.... Does this mean I cannot install it until I get 'the balls'? (haha sorry. sounded funny)

Crap...well time to find something I never saw Thanks! I don't want to miss anything on this head reinstall!

Is there some sort of check ball with a spring? its ea82t

I don't have the p.shop touch anymore :(

give a non-metal bending shove on the knuckle where the tierod connects. works everytime for me

haha *need weight for traction carcasses* How about storage despite it being more dead than those pigs?

ha! vg30et is correct! Its not going into my z31...or is it? I cant decide. So these heads suck, but the cracks are ok, but mine are not ok. I fear the driver side head is cracked, too...i think of the v or flat engines like brakes. Never do just one side at a time. do both front or both rear or all 4, not just the one that wears. This weekend I'm going to another j-yard to see a certain ea82t that a friend told me about. :Permission to cry like a small girl:

Can I play a guessing game? It is japanese and widely used in multiple cars and trucks from the early 80s and gained .3 displacement to this day...ooo the suspense! Only subaru-related thing(s) are those turbos. cute ihi!

Thought these were a cult car?? Try: hachiroku.net club4ag.com hachi-roku.com aeu86.org Thought a mid 80s corolla could fetch $12,000 with wheels and paint? Easily. I fear driving mine despite it not being the "Initial D" car. Coupes rock, but hatches get the big moneys. p.s. No, I didn't read any more than the first 4 sentences. edit - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_D It's freaky how obsessed ppl get.

Common problem, I know. Bigger problem is finding replacements. I'm really leaning more towards finding new heads and so far I've found some cracked heads in the FS section and one at a local yard that I cannot visit till sat cause of that stupid WORK I have to go to. geez. :grin: I didn't expect so much help! That USRM should come in handy when I need it. Everytime I go to the garage I see it and get way motivated, but then I see the head as I walk around to the front and view a mess of wires, parts scattered about and another head that has yet to be removed. :( I'll get to it once I locate some heads for it. Might as well get both since I can have an extra if the driver side is good Maybe I can throw this thing in there.....? http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q306/Corolla_Frenzy/Loyale/DSC01878.jpg There are more pictures if anyone is bored. http://s139.photobucket.com/albums/q306/Corolla_Frenzy/Loyale/

4af is for the lose. get a 7af block, put a 4ag head on and call it good Seatbelts are very easy. Basic sockets is all you need. There might be covers on some of the bolts. The exhaust...$300? I'll make you one for half that and thats still a rip! haha go junkyarding!

eek..so it IS like converting an sr5 corolla to gts corolla... I've located an imported ej22 with valve noise and some missing parts for $150 so its not a wallet-breaker, but I still would rather source out ea82 heads to simplify things a bit. Hopefully someone here will have a good set! Thanks for the link, though! If I decide to do it, I can refer back here!

So I'm looking up EJ22 in search and finding only questions with very long multi-paged threads, but nothing near any kind of a walk through or or guide/parts list of some sort. I mainly belong to a mid 80s Corolla site (gee wizz...the name didn't give it away?) and I've converted many sr5 to gts and do anything and everything on my own from electrical to mechanical (i hate aesthetics). Lots of ppl know this and they ask me tons of questions and I've made 75% of a full GTSR5 conversion... Is there anyone here like that?I hate answering the repetitive questions and I've almost had them ready for copy and paste because they come up a lot and I know there are a lot of n00b questions asked here as well and I'd prefer to read my way through something like an EJ22 than to ask every step. Ok, so I'm going to end my endless typing now.

...and bought a 90 loyale. Keen car with everything electrical in working order, but has cracked and warped heads. Unsure on the driver side head as it's not off yet, but finding a boosted EA is like finding an LSD unit for these things. So I'm on the look-out for a pair of uncracked unwarped heads and hope to try this hot wagon on the dirt soon to see how well it does. Never had one, so I decided to give it a shot. $100 isn't so bad, right? Nifty site, too, but search came up zero with even the word 'cylinder'. Odd. Hope to learn more about this from members who have first hand experience at these cute boosted flat 4s. Any tips for this thing? It has 188k, but has a japanese crate engine (gold colored internals!) and is 5sp swapped which isn't hooked up to the button.
