  3. 3k Twin Aisan Carby Setup.

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    I've been warned that DCD webers like to drop out the brass plugs and pour fuel out of the bottom ? Heard of this before Felix ?

     

    Nope. Would have run a DCD for at least 6 years in my ke15.

     

    I have however been stranded on the side of the road with twin aisans, when one of the carbs had a needle and seat stick open. Had fuel pouring out of the carb all over HOT extractors. Was the only time in about 20 years of driving KE corollas that I had to get a tow.

    Thanks matee :rolls: big helpp hey by any chance would you no from what year the bigport heads with bigger valves came out??

    The first 3k's around 1969 or so in the ke11/17/18 through the ke2x series.

  6. 3k Twin Aisan Carby Setup.

    Did you jet it down at all for the 5k or just 2 stock 3k carbies ?

     

    With twin aisan's the motor doesn't see twice as much carburetion. Just see's less intake path resistance. Think about it from the intake ports point of view looking up the manifold... How many carb throats would it see with a single carb, and how many throats would it see with twin aisans? The same.

     

    Twin aisans are overrated, unless you are after originality. The aisan carbs are the most unreliable part of a corolla.

    I'm using a 4k head so even if I use the standard hydraulic lifters won't I have an issue with pushrod length anyway? I can still run with the hydraulics i'll just have to let the shop know before they do the cam. This k motor business isn't as easy some people make out....

     

    Not really. Your 5k has already got shallow dish pistons and is running a normal 4k type head (has no lugs under 1 and 4 spark plug holes). I'd also assume it is running the longer of the two types of hydraulic pushrods.

     

    This k motor business is really quite simple if you have a basic understanding of the differences between the different types. It is the people who f@$k around with shit they don't understand that over complicates things and leads to problems.

     

    As I see it you are headed at a fairly high compression ratio (maybe 9.5:1 at a rough guess) with the shallow dished pistons and a normal 4k head, which you may want to account for when choosing pulley ratios for your blower. I'd be CC'ing the piston crowns and combustion chambers of your head/s to work out your true CR, and possibly opening up the combustion chambers to drop the CR.

    Gav i'm pretty sure 4k's already have solid lifters in them man, i haven't had a look at a 5k valve train, but the 4k uses the pushrod's from the cam, straight onto the rocker arm which in turn pushes the valve down, so wouldn't it make sense just to use all the 4k stuff Instead of using holden lifters???? why not use the 4k stuff if your already using 90percent of the valve train anyways?

     

     

    5k's have a larger lifter diameter.

     

    I don't get what is wrong with not staying with hydraulics? If the motor is going to be supercharged, you won't need to rev the ring out of it.

    I do KNOW FOR A FACT that kaaz make 2way lsd's for the 70cause i was looking into buying one then found out to get it to aus was gonna be like 1500 bucks

     

    Don't most ke70's have aussie borg warner diffs in them?

     

    I'd imagine your kaaz one would have been to suit a jap diff housing.
