i had one of those unribbed 4ks. i had no idea they were so rare :P it's now slowly decomposing at ballina tip. the last pic here is the motor which is in my car as we speak 3k block 4k unribbed 4k ribbed

easily :P

i personally think that's a pretty good cam profile, and if your valve springs can handle that much lift without bouncing then stick with it. it's a little bigger than the tighe stage 3 grind, which is mine and nick's favorite. your cam's only a 272 degree cam, it's not very big at all, i'd say it's about just right for a 4k/5k ideal AFR is 14.7 for max efficiency, and 12.5 for max power. i think your car runs rich down low in that dyno graph because the primary choke is too big. changing back to a standard aisan is no way to diagnose problems, they run rich anyway and are shithouse at atomising fuel. sounds like you need a new workshop. or twin sidedrafts :P the single dcoe would probably be an improvement over whatever you have at the moment, even if just for driveability. but i don't think it will be that much of an improvement. look at it this way, you'd spend 700 bucks and have a small improvement, or spend 1500 bucks and have almost perfect carburetion. sure it costs less, but where's the best value for money? i agree 56rwkw is pretty low for a 5k, stewart's 4k makes 53rwkw. he's using a camtech 609 (In 33-64 Ex 72-32 Lift 0.435). consider rob's engine a 4k, and a pretty oversize 1430cc one at that :D you usually take 25% for rwd drivetrain losses. or just convert engine kw to rwhp (which is *0.746). 100kw at the engine = ~100hp at the wheels

WAY too much money :P

i don't think there are many car enthusiasts who WOULDN'T own a 57 chev i agree with you on the XB though, check here for more :P http://www.superjamie.net/ke25/other/

bought one on ebay for $30 inc postage :D american region 1 but meh, should be here soon and easily divx'ed for distribution to the masses :P

fight fight fight :P

a mate of mine just got a kitten, its well tiny :P

the fact that he's wearing a dress and touching his nipple is disconcerting. imagine if you asked him to just run into coles and buy you some condoms christ, that would be so worth it! and lube and whipped cream and a zucchini or something. hahaha :P

a dcoe40 has 40mm throats, a dcoe45 has 45mm throats seriously, i'd be using twin 40s with 28-32mm chokes. the whole idea of swapping to sidedrafts is to make the inlet tract as efficient as possible. just one dcoe on a single manifold is only going to be marginally more efficient than a single downdraft. 28mm chokes are quite hard to get hold of from what i've heard a mate of mine had a single 45 on a 4k, he said it was alright, but changed back to the modified stock carb he had because the single really wasn't that much better no, the stock fuel pump won't be good enough. you'll need a high volume low pressure electronic pump and a pressure regulator, set it to 4.5psi don't think you're going to get good fuel economy from sidedrafts, or that you can do it "on the cheap". they're good carbs, some might even say the best, but you certainly get what you pay for

why not? everyone else does it. even a 7afe is a pretty good motor, never mind wide angle heads and turbos. it would be so worth it

if an ae71 radiator's anything like a ke30/55/70 radiator, get it recored with three rows and make sure you have a well shrouded fan setup factory engine fan with half the blade inside the fan, half outside is the way to do it. i don't even run a shroud on my engine fan and it's fine like nick said, a thermofan with a full shroud like fook's is also good, but more expensive and time consuming :P http://public.fotki.com/fookseung/automoti...l/04250001.html

or spend double the money and end up with a toyota engine (3s-gte) that has alot more potential, makes more power out the box and is alot stronger to boot. but you get what you pay for and i know people who prefer CAs over SRs so let's just leave that alone :P

some also say that dellortos are a heap easier to tune than webers redline would be one of the better brands of manifold to use. they're usually up over $200 new, but can be picked up second hand for half that, if you're paying over $140 then keep looking

or SUs :P this topic is already active in another thread http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=1119

lol :P you know you've spend too long on the internet when...

i'd personally like to see a supercharged CA :P

pfft 10k, how pussy, takumi revs his to 12.5 :P

hey don't laugh, rust repair to rego-failed corollas has been done with coke cans before down here. and passed!

oh thank god, i thought it was a camry vienta ultima for a minute! :P

ebay? linkage please!

the place up the road doesn't retail them, but he told me they get them from "allcrash parts" in brisbane

yeah it's definately a 4ag. or it definately WAS a 4ag :P i want one of those little alternators, that's cool!

the place i saw the catalog at would probably charge you a heap for them. what are you after and i'll go up there this arvo? or just a full list

or the rest :P
