Size Of Ke20 Strut Top Bolts +

[19914afc]

Hey does anyone know that size are the ke20 strut top bolt size because I have a KP starlet camber tops and would like to know if I can use them on the coil over setup I am going to use, the KP tops are a 100mm equilateral triangle.

 

Also would like to know if there is a way to convert a ke20 Borg Warner diff to 4x114.3 stud pattern. I know with the jap diffs you can shorten some ke30 axles but is it the same with the Borg Warner ones?

With the KE20 strut tops I measured the bolt spacing as I was getting a quote on some strut tops. I got 90mm and 95mm as my two measurements between the bolt holes. I wasn't very precise but nevertheless my measurements might help some

 

But I guess if you are looking to fit 100mm you could be in some trouble. :D

With regards to cambertops, this was the response from Emp? on Toymods

they are k-office camber tops, holes slotted about 2mm each outwards... took about 1min total with a round file

so does anyone know for sure what the ke20 pattern is?

*sigh* I'll go out and measure mine again

 

Do you want from middle of bolt hole to middle of bolt hole? :D

[19914afc]

yes please if you could measure them all to see if they are a equilateral triangle.

[LukeAE71]

I got 95mm from middle of bolt hole to middle of bolt hole all round.

 

Mind you I did use a tape measure so could be a little out. I did get the same measurement all around though repeated :D

also what about the diff cause I'm going to be running ae86 struts+jdm brakes so ill need to convert the rear stud pattern to 4x114.3.

[KEhendo]

what kind of engine would you be wanting in it?

 

if it's anything more than a warm k then forget the borgy. have a look at finding the rear diff out of one of those 4wd corolla wagon things (have forgotten the chassis code). apparently the rear diff is the thinnest T series diff that toyota make. i'd say get one of those and put custom mounts on it. that way it won't snap at the slightest whiff of power and you can get an lsd for it if you wanted.

 

just my 2c

[19914afc]

all ill be using is a worked 5k, I think the 4wd corollas where a tercel? not too sure but yes apparantly they use the same T series diff as a ae86?

dunno bout changing the diff but it is your call. Doubt if you would break a borgy behind a warm 5k - unless you are an absolute nuff nuff. Ran a worked 5k (big compression/carbs/exhaust turning 225/13's) in front of a borgy for years with no issues.

 

I think if you should grab some later borgy axles and see if they fit. I've got a feling that the same process applies to the borgy diff - shorten a few mm and bang them in

[19914afc]

well thats all I wanted to do maybe when I'm off my P's might go 3t/2g hybrid then maybe get a better diff. If anyone has some ke30 (or similar) BW axles let me know.
