Another thing received for the 2T-B upgrade:

Toyota T series repair manual

I was lucky enough the seller of this manual was not aware of how scarce the T series engine repair manual is! She was selling a lot of manuals for American cars, I placed a low bid and she probably thought she was doing a great deal! Lucky! ヽ(´▽`)/

The manual describes how to rebuild the whole engine, including all types of T series carburettors!

It also describes how everything should be set up...

And the most important thing: how to synchronize and tune the double carburettors of the 2TB! (￣ー￣)

The 2T-B upgrade is progressing slowly. After failing to find an original Celica TA60 2T-B airfilter house I ordered an open airfilter from K&H (part number 56-9138) and will get my second one once The Doctor will find his spare one. :P

Today I tried to clean the double carburetor setup from all its dirt and oil with a brush, a lot of paper kitchen towels and some petrol. After an hour I got exhausted (probably from inhaling too much petrol) and had to stop. The result is already a big difference:

2T-B upgrade: cleanup stage 1 - before

2T-B upgrade: cleanup stage 1 - after

I'll give it a second try doing it this way and see if I can have it look clean enough. But as you can see: a lot of dirt and oil is unreachable for me, so I'm afraid I really have to take it apart to get it fully cleaned after all.

Yesterday when I entered the office a nice big X-mas box (seriously!) was waiting for me and later that day another enormous box arrived at the office. I opened both of them yesterday evening.

The enormous box contained a 2T/3T gasket set:

I found this cheap set for as much as two of the inlet gaskets! IMO you can never have too much gaskets! :)

But what was in the X-mas box then?

What is in this box?

You probably can guess that one already:

It is a 2T-B carburetor set! Giving an instant upgrade of 11HP on my 2T engine! That is almost an increase of 15% in horsepower! :)

And from the side it looks even better! :)

Remember last weeks posting with the webers??

Vroom! Vroom! Vrooom! Vrooooooom!
:D :D

So, what's next? Well, I still need an air filter to complete the set. Whenever I find an original 2T-B air filter or an open air filter I will start installing this on the Carina! :)
