hahahha yeah cheers mate just got to find a way of getting it home without dad seeing it and put it in a safe place and start the project off!!! :glare: see ya jimi

Ok after having a long discussion with my dad last night :rolls: I started talking about how i want to build this special engine and dad said theres no need to!!!! Dad later on went to say that a standard 4k goes great in itself if u put a decent exhaust system and a carby upgrade she will go like a rocket ship!!! :lolcry, dad also said that he had a crowcam 606 cam in the shed which is apparently the second biggest cam u can get from them because the next one is a pure race cam :laff: so dad said if i put this cam in a 4k with a bit of head work like harder valve springs, seats etc etc the car will be exactly what u want and it will cost shit all :hmm: then i thought with a set of 40mm webbers on it this engine will be one sweet cheap engine that goes awesome!!! I then asked dad what about suspension setup, he suggested that i use a cross member of a ke20 then make custom arms to suit etc etc if i do this dad said i would be able to use all front steering parts from ke20-ke50 basically and might be able to set the car up better :lolcry: so in all i will have a car that goes f***ing good and it handles great!!!!!! :P any tips or advice plz tell me???? see ya jimi

yeah i might do that thanks mate see ya jimi

hahhaha cool thanks mate :happy: see ya jimi

Awesome ill have to come meet u and get some pics with the most awesome rolla wagon :wink: see ya jimi

omg I'm so up for that and in home turf for me lol :lolcry: ill have to finish my dads rally car and drive that !!! hmmmmm :hmm: u coming over for that ??? see ya jimi

hahahha I'm always up for a road trip lol which one is that mate???? see ya jimi

thats ok mate next time one is on down south way or up near bendigo give us a pm plz love to come on one!!! see ya jimi

car looks great mate, of always liked those front wheels uve got!!! :dance: keep up the good work and cruising lol see ya jimi

yeah i think the 17's do still have the transverse leaf front end????? so thats why i might have to change crossmembers or mod diff struts to suit, will a bigger sway bar help my handling???? yeah i will do the rear leafs and maybe stiff dampers or something yeah i might do that as well. yeah thats what ill do know and build and save money while i drive it around and that and yeah ive already got some nice mags on it have a look :lolcry: hahahah yeah thanks thats what i couldnt understand the diff but thanks it makes sence I'm not to worried about econ mate i have webbers so there will be no such thing lol :blinks: hahahahha yep exactly what i want to do and come on who doesnt like a sick as rolla that looks and goes tuff as lol :laff: I'm pretty sure if i do the engine the right way it will rev better then that :hmm: hahahah i wish mate :lolcry: yeah so maybe a 5k is better for a race engine then hmmm :hmm:

hahha yeah i will do forged rods but just standard k size, hahahah yeah true mate but ya can't beat the character of a rolla mate and the sound of a nice k engine revving its tits of lol :laff: idc about if its faster then a turbo or that i just want it to go great and sound good and have fun with it i may spend 10k on it but so what its my money and it will be a sweet ride when I'm done :wink: see ya jimi

yeah thats what i was thinking of doing maybe if the engine is to much cause i want to do an upright engine as well i might have to save up heaps for the engine and extra parts so i might do that then !!! :blush: my budget would prob be around 10k with all the body and suspension stuff, rego, insurance etc etc lol yeah i thought the stroke should be fine but bigger bore might be better idk yet ill have to look into it and figure out ratios and stuff??? :hmm:

oh ok wow thats pretty good price :o yeah when is first drive lol :hmm: see ya jimi

hey mate where do ye live??? and do ya want a corona 3.9 diff ???? i have one if ur interested and i could sell it to ya for cheap??? see ya jimi

Would a set of these help my handling on the old rolla???? Of course ill have trouble putting them in and they will cost me but meh ill get to that hurdle later and i can always save while i do body work :wink: :hmm:

wow great work guys and it sounds like ur getting there!!! :dance: how much will all the Carbon Fiber and kevlar cost ya??? or will ya get it through a mate ?? :wink: keep it up guys see ya jimi

Update..... not much but i will be getting the rolla down to home in December !!!! :dance: my plan is to try and find and put a set of these in the rolla hmmm i think this will be hard but i was thinking if i change or mod a cross-member they might fit in the rolla ???? :hmm: see ya jimi

alright thanks guys for all the help!!! gjm85- i will hopefully be getting the car in December and back to a safe home :lolcry: my plan is to do all the body work and painting myself to keep it cheap and teach myself how to do stuff seeing how we don't learn that shit as apprentices now :bash: evan g- thanks for that it will help camfromdownunder88- yeah i know but dad said some ke30 stuff can be modded easy to early stuff and i will definitely be upgrading the the suspension and brakes because i want to race it so it will need to handle and go ae824ate- na thats the thing i could go and do a eng swap and stuff like that but i want to rego it and keep it old sckool and look good, and i doubt dad would approve of me doing a engine swap to his pride and joy :hmm:, thanks thats what i needed help with and ill look into brands and stuff but that will help me off cheers trev- yeah thats what i thought the 5k had more torque but thats not what i need is it for racing ??? thats why i thought the 4k would be better and plus i have one in the shed lol :lolcry: doogs- thanks mate ill have a look at the link and then see what ill do???, yeah thats right i will be trying to do as much of the work myself so that i save some money and learn heaps myself, i will be upgrading the whole car with better handling and ride for racing !!! Thank you everyone for ur input and help ill will do some more research and hopefully get my finger out and get the car to its right home and a safe place i can prob imagine my dad getting angry with me as i am going to get the car and not tell him :hmm: see ya jimi

this is what i would love to have but i can't :bash: ill build something close to it lol :lolcry: i would love the head and intake of this race car :yes: and yes this is a 3k but with a twin cam head :hmm: see ya jimi

why 5k tho wats the dif between them and most race corollas have been 4k so why not stick with the rest ????? see ya jimi

well what if i go to a smaller size piston like 80 or 81mm hmmm :hmm: whats the standard 4k piston size anyway???? see ya jimi

Plz help with my ques guys http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/46706-race-engine/ hope u guys can help !!! see ya jimi

hey guys My plan is to get a standard 4k block and modify into a race engine, ill get forged pistons prob around 83mm a race crankshaft and camshaft not sure on sizes yet??? will do alot of head work like bigger valves and ports. My first question is what are the best brands for pistons, crankshaft and camshafts(crowcams etc). Where is the best place(ebay, online or shops) and what size valves and ports should i go on the head ????? Second if i do all this to the engine will i need a longer stroke if so how much by???? What are the best conrods for the job???? Third if i am doing a elec dissy where do i get those rebuilt starlet dissy's form the states, my plan is to run individual coils per spark plug which will make a better and more accurate spark :yes: what kind of module should i run and whats the best one ???? I will be running this engine in my future sprinter and will have 40mm webbers and i will hope to take this car to track days around aus to all the great race tracks !!! :happy: Sorry for all the ques but this is all i think about at work and what to do???? :hmm:

this is one sweet ride mate looks good and i bet goes great!!! :lolcry: hope to see more pics of it racing and stuff see ya jimi
