mighty_4k

Well time for a bit of an update finally took the head and cam out today gonna be sending my cam away in the next day or two. I think I'm gonna go with grind 2 especially after reading pink_gemmy's comment lol. My 4k will be getting extensive headwork done and twin rebuilt and jetted Dellorto DHLA's put on. With that setup do you think I could get away with a cam that big or would it still be too much? Will I be making all my power too high is the rev range? I want something that could make power from say 2500-3000rpms to 7000-7500rpms which I should be realistically should be able to rev out to without any problems given my other mods, not that i plan to rev that high too often.

I have looked at the tighe website and yeah the figures are certainly different I live in New Zealand so maybe their measured differently like snot said?

Going onto a ke70 mate and no don't have advertised duration unfortunately.

Hey guys I will soon be getting twin Dellorto sidedrafts and headwork done on my 4k. While the heads out I'm going to get my cam reground. I have decided that I'm going to go with 1 of the 2 following grinds. Grind 1 234@ .050" 291 cam lift Grind 2 238 degrees of duration at .050" and .296" cam lift and 108 lobe separation The guy thats going to be doing my headwork thinks I should go with grind 1 since its milder but I'm seriously considering grind 2 I'm thinking if I'm get my cam ground might as well go all out and do it properly first time. Appertaley if I go with grind 2 I'm gonna lose a bit of driveability down low anyone how how bad this will be especially is traffic? My ke70 will mostly be a weekend car but due to the fact I live in a city I will get stuck in (sometimes heavy) traffic from time to time. Also can anyone well me what the powerbands of both grinds would be? I would like my powerband to be in a pretty streetable range which is another concern of mine with grind 2 will it start making power too high in the rev range? No point in making all my power at like 6000rpms+ in a street car. Also before anyone starts flaming me I have used search but I didn't find anything similar to the grinds mentioned above, thanks in advance for your responses guys.

Thanks for your help guys found out that it was a blocked fuel line coming from the fuel tank all fixed now glad Ive finally got it running. :wink: Also found out that that my ke70 is a jap spec version which has lots of emissions lines coming out of the carb which is why I had difficultly figuring out what 1 the fuel line was lol.

I'll probably get laughed at for this which line is the fuel line going into the carby? Theres a number of different lines going into the carby.

Ok used some engine starter (similar to start yah basted i guess) 3 times and each time got it to start and idle. But every time it died after a few seconds even when using the gas pedal which makes me think its fuel related? Also which order should the leads be in should lead 1 be closest to the front of the car or closest to the firewall or does it not matter? Just wanna make sure I have the leads right way round, thanks.

Ive chucked in about 8 litres more fresh fuel. Installed new battery terminals, new spark plugs and leads all did nothing I have no idea what it could be. This is really doing my head in now! |blink|

I chucked in about 5 litres of fresh fuel not a lot tho only 5 litres, maybe I need more? I even chucked some fuel down the carb. The weird thing is that when i finally got it started and it was idling and after a while when it started to die I tapped the gas pedal to get the revs back up to stop it from dieing it did the the complete opposite of what it should have and killed it. Thanks Evan I'll have a look for some of that start ya bastard stuff. I'll have to find someone who sells it or something similar to it doesn't sound like it's too common.

Hey guys I'm new to the forums. |blink| Anyway I got an 82 ke70 corolla with a 4k in it. Due to circumstances beyond my control I haven't been able to give the old girl the attention it deserves over the last yr or so. Today I thought I'd fire it up for the first time in a long time. After about 5 minutes of trying finally got it started I let it idle for a good 3-4mins before it was starting to die so I did what anyone would do tapped the accelerator pedal but as soon as I did that it died. Since then I haven't been able to get it started its turning over and just as it looks like its about to start it fails at the last hurdle and as soon as I tap the accelerator pedal when I'm trying to start it to give it some encouragement it kills it right away. What could be causing this? Well I'm very confused and frustrated I didn't imagine it would take so much effort just to get it running. I'm probably missing something simple here? Thanks in advance for your responses guys.
