love ke70 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 i reckon that would have been alright, but i mean 4age started when...like 85 or was it later? was when it first saw the light, and it was toyotas first crossflow small engine, i don't know about bigger engines, but really they were well behind alot of other manufacturers and even then it was only in the performance range, not an everyday motor, even ford ran crossflow in lasers etc before then, in just their normal cars. but toyotas caught up now which is the main thing :( :) can't stop thinking of the possibilities of that 3kr, its definitely interesting Quote
love ke70 Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 oh biggo showed me pics of that engine, i thought some rich jap dude had converted it to twin cam etc etc, always wondered the point, now it makes sense :) lol Quote
Boost+k Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 weren't the 2t-g etc crossflow???? and releised in the 70's? i havent had much to do with this so correct me if i'm wrong... Quote
love ke70 Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 The 2T-G engine was standard in the GT model, which was not mass released in Australia. The 2T-G is a 4 cylinder in line DOHC displacing 1588cc's. It features: “a cross-flow head with center sparking plugs; Water jacketed aluminum alloy intake manifolds for quicker warm-up and prevention of carburetor icing: Dual solex “40 PHH†carburetors with idle limiter and double floats for ideal response under hard cornering, quick acceleration, fast stopping; Five-bearing crankshaft for smoothness and added durability; Pistons with a special auto-thermic plate built-in preventing deformation under extreme heat and keeping proper spacing and alignment between piston and cylinder wall – a feature developed through the stresses of racing; A 9.8:1 compression ratio for more power with less fuel. This 2T-G type engine puts out a maximum horsepower of 124 at 6400 rpm with a maximum torque of 15.6 m-kg (113 ft-lb) at 5200 rpmâ€. (As specified in the Toyota Sales leaflet) i stand corrected, but even in the 80's the corolla still went without crossflow :( oh well, the 1g fixes all that :) Quote
Jason Posted January 23, 2006 Report Posted January 23, 2006 the 80's corollas went without a lot of things............ Quote
