hey, i have a 1980 TE72 (T18 SE) with a standard 3T/C. I was gonna sell it, but i figure, why not have some fun first. What mods can be done to the motor to get more power, cause thats what it lacks really  *groans* MORE POWER 
cheers

have you seen the Puerto Rican cars with turbo 3TC's running in the 9's (and maybe 8's???)
plenty can be done, how fast you wanna go??
cam, carbs (or EFI), compression, exhaust, turbo.... the list is the same for any motor really.

yeah, sure?? thats pretty mad, i recon mine'd run a 20 
i'd prolly go non turbo for now, dont suppose anyone knows and forums/web pages that detail what can be done?? i'd be happy with 12-13s really. i'd love to go efi!! dont call me dumb or nothing, but how is that acheived. the reason for the non turbo bit is i'm 16

A set of extractors would be a cheap first bet, but as old corollas says, it depends how much you want to spend. Dropping in a 2TG is a pretty easy task and gives you a great top end, or just welding the diff makes it much more fun off road.
I have driven a bunch of 3Ts and am amazed at the difference between stock engines. Some go pretty well, others are totally gutless. Maybe yours is particularly gutless cos it is old and flogged.
Good luck, you gotta love thrashing T18s

T-18 + 16y.o + above mentioned 1/4 time = dreamin!!!
