I'm guessing this build is costing you more than a deposit on a house!?! :lolcry:

And sand the bonnet with 800 grit wet and dry before painting :wink:

Yeah how much?? Very interested

How big is your wallet? :blinks: How fast do you want to go? :hmm: What will the car be used 4? times what you think it will cost by 3. Times the time you initially think it will take by 4.. :bash: Best thing I've ever been told.. After owning over 30 japanese cars since 17,.. I've learnt this is true. :bash: Anything from my jap spec s15 200sx to my little corolla,...it's all the same rules that apply,..time and blood sweat and girlfriend or wife's tears,..and heaps of $$$$$ :yes:

I have seen this at the Gold coast before.. Nice lil ride.. Look great in another color too..light blue is very placid,..but I bet that engine isn't

It's easy to cut springs,..cheap..but they ride like crap and are dangerous and can fall out

Hmmm,..flames,...ouch it's hot in here... School holidays are almost up hey. 4k with a 3k head will be a cheap upgrade..look into it..it's common.. 4k 50-150 bucks for stock p.o.s (peice of sh1t) Find a 3k head,..more compression..and you have a motor that will bark like a poodle..

Ok so my compression was calculated at over 15.1 compression today by the machinist. He also said that that is way high,..I agreed. so I'm now changing my bottom end,and running a 5k block with dished pistons cam etc. Thank you all for your help. Sorry I was vague with details. I'm going to strip this motor soon,and I will post up the cam to ask if it's suitable for the 5k,assuming they are interchangeable? Does anyone know where I can buy a good 5k bottom end kit from? also,it makes sense that the compression would be different with the valves opening and shutting. I'm going to start posting pics of this ke26 soon,..and the rebuild etc. Thank you all for your time guys.. Looking forward to trying a set up that will be appreciated by onlookers as it's documented for those of us that love the rollas :) Mezz

Ok,..no worries. I'm new here.

Guy at machine shop was surprised how good the port job was....** Lucky I didn't say how surprised he was that I did a good head job,..this would be WAAAAYY wrong from what I'm trying to say,..sheeesh

ROLLA I MEANT...iPad has stupid auto correct

4k block with a 5k head in my Rolland. I took the head off the block a week ago to port and polish the head etc. When I took this head into the shop,the man said it is a 5k because it has small combustion chambers. Ok so from what I have heard,the compression this would be making may be WAAAAYY to high? QUESTION: WHY DIDN'T MY ENGINE RUN LIKE A DOG? IT DIDN'T EVEN HAVE THAT BARK TO IT LIKE A HIGH COMP ENGINE,AND IT DIDN'T SLOW THE ENGINE FAST WHEN OFF THE ACCELERATOR (like my old 4 with 3k head used to do.. WHY IS THIS ENGINE RUNNING FINE? Is there some way that the cam,or over sized bore and pistons are lowering the compression enough? Ok so my specs are: The crank wheel,when all pistons are at TDC,the crank pulley has the 0 mark about 9 o'clock in reference to the TDC on the block...could this be why?? *Lumpy as cam,very lumpy and boggy down low,unknown cam grind,..much to my disgust... *2 inch exhaust *ported and polished head by myself (guy at machine shop says he was au rises how good it was from me being a novice,..took me 30 hours. *matched the ports to Manifold *40 thou over sized pistons ( so it's bored out slightly) FLAT TOP" *5k dizzy *extractors *Weber *normal head gasket *standard valves I JUST DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWERS???? HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPP PLZZZ GUYZ :)}{ :( Mezz///

Ok guys,..I'm hearing this scatter shield a lot. Think I need to do one then. Do ya buy them or make them up? I'm going to get it lighten tomorrow ;) thanks again guys. Great little thread that's helpful as for us fellas who like to play :)

Definitely a flat battery...try another battery in it first maybe,..then check out either getting a new battery,or maybe you can fix your old one by filling it with water to the lines in the battery,(must cover the metal plates inside.. Maybe a shop can put more acid in it? Not sure...call a battery shop to ask,after trying someone else's battery in the car firs

Wow that flywheel would be making that thing rev so quick..I guess it can get risky,..although ya never know unless ya try it. ;)

I love you guys,..no seriously!! I'm very appreciative of your time,as those things you both said,I had no idea of..so now this little k engine is going to be a happy little vegimite ;) thanks guys

Hey guys :) I'm running a 4k with : *Port job head with match port to manifold and exhaust *extractors *heavy lumpy cam *down draft weber 26/27 I am wanting to lighten fly wheel to see what acceleration I can get out of it.. Does anyone know how much I should ask for when I get it lightened? How much should it weight if I want more acceleration and response down low,without loosing too much torque? Any one done this to their k motor b4? Mezz///

My package is: *weber 26/27 Wilson downdraft (should I swap for side drafts?) *extractors *2inch exhaust *lumpy cam with unknown cam grinds,..much to my frustration lol any way for me to find out by looking at cam? *head has been ported like crazy,removing all blockages to air flow and even oil flow. *4k head looks like it's been shaved by the thickness indicator being half way..so compression may be higher than usual..I will ask machine shop to shave for more comp. Thanks guys for your time :) much appreciated as always

35mm round ports on inlet by the way ;)

I think the guy that told me the valve work that was done,..was pulling my leg??!! It didn't look any different to standard exhaust valves btw

Hello guys and Girls :) Ok so I bought a ke26 a year ago with a mild 4k. I was told it had a 3 angle valve job on it.. The exhaust valves in the 4k head have a little S stamped on them. Questions: 1.)Are these special valves? 2.)What does the S mean? 3.)I am wondering what valves to use on inlet and exhaust if I have done a MAYJOR port and polish of both the intake and Exhaust ? 4.)has anyone done a port job on a 4k head and brought it out to 35mm on the inlet ports,And just match exhaust ports? how was this set up for you and what should I expect when I put the head back on the block and start it? have I gone too big? Or will this flow really well if I put bigger valves in? (These ports have been match ported with intake manifold and extractors) Thanks guys,lots of questions here I know.. May need some experienced people here to answer.. Hope I have made the questions clear as glass? Mezz///

Come on dude,get to work?

Where did you get your te27 arms from to do the Ae86 coilover exchange? :) Mezz
