  4. Ke30 Suspension

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    wind the nuts on the radius rods (caster rods) towards the back of the car as far as you can for some caster, king springs and camber tops (which will give you 0 degrees camber without lcas) and thats all u can really do without getting dramatic (ie changing LCA's)

    well i had a 3k that was running 31hp at the wheels :dance:

     

    swapped it out for a 4k we rebuilt cammed, lightened flywheel, increased comp, carb etc. havnt had it dyno'd but id say its making at least twice the power... can't find the cam specs though but it was like 270 duration 4.1 lift. revs to like 6k and blows excels off the line :laff:

    can't go too aggressive without balancing everything. best bet is just go to an engine shop and tell them what you want. i didnt bother getting the lifters faced with mine and 10k k's later its still fine

    probs wanna rebuild it if you want a noticeable gain... rings at least. shave the head while your at it. and you might as well lighten the flywheel. lumpy cam... oh damn it its happening again...

  13. 4K O/S Valves

    nason engine parts had a special a while ago on some OS valves... i bought a set for like 20 bucks. i can't remember part numbers but i think they were gemini ones???

     

    if you can find a parts store that deals with nason (repco, autopro etc) they should be able to call them and get the info. upon a quick search part no's could have been GEMEX2144 and GEMIN2143, probs best not to quote me on that though

  15. Ke30 Lowering Blocks

    best thing is to measure to the pin size cos they have 2 different diffs. and some listings are wrong anyway. also you want 12mm ubolts not 14 which i think the holden ones come with. (speaking from experience here)

     

    no issues with them legally so long as you stay within legal height (not sure on that one). you'll be safe with 2 inch. any more looks stupid anyway

    bit of shameless self promotion, I'm an experienced parts interpreter looking for work so if you know of anything hit me up ;)

  20. 4K Pistons

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted · Edited by tunsafun321

    thanks guys, was just looking for a quick fix to get it going there but upon reflection new set is probably what we'll do.

     

    although i do have a 3k and ive since discovered they share the same pistons, forgive me for being cheap but would there be any dramas swapping those pistons onto the rods we already have or is there some engine building voodoo that i don't know about?

    edit: reading the last post answered that question so i think ill just do that, thanks guys

  21. 4K Pistons

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    G'day all,

     

    I'm hoping someone on here might be able to help me out,

     

    I'm building a ke30, nothing to insane, just 4k conversion with a nice cam on a nice set of watanabes. she'll be a daily, but she'll do it in style.

     

    Spent the morning putting the engine together, came to the last piston and found a crack... its on one of the tangs, and chances are one of my housemates stepped on it while it was out of the car :/...

    and there usually such good blokes :bash:

     

    So here I am, hoping that someone might have a single, decent standard 4k piston they'd be willing to part with? or alternatively, know of a supplier that'd be willing to sell a single piston... its a long shot, but I'm pretty desperate.

     

    also... on a related note, could i use a 3k piston... or are they a different bore?

     

    Cheers
