Thanks guys... Brilliant inflow of information... :thumbsup: I guess I should make it 85 - 95 then. My radiator is small so I thought of using a remake one and try to get same area as the radiator for KR 42 (out of which the 7K came out). It is a twin row and i approximated it to count twice the area (I heard that it will not be doubled as the second row will not get same temperature difference as the first row). I cannot fit the same radiator as the KR 42 so I am fixing this. Hope I am doing right and anything to share, advice is welcome.. :paperbag: KR 42 - 678 (w) X 452 (h) X 1 (rows) = 306,456 mm2 Project - 540 (w) X 360 (h) X 2 (rows) = 388,800 mm2

Hi Guys, I am trying to find out the maximum safe working temperature for a K motor (7K-E) is. Hope you guys will be able to help me out. I put in a 7K motor and kinda have a DIY radiator setup. I need to calibrate the start and stop for the radiator fan but do not know what range I should set it for. Also, I want to fix up warning light for the max safe temperature. I do not have a dash indicator for the same motor and even if I have one I am not sure if it would be accurate. I would like to get the values in degrees. Give me a shout if you can help me here please. Cheers!

Hello, I tried so hard to find some useful information to turbocharge a 7K-E but with less success. Hope anyone will help me to know what I am up against with. I have a 7K-E motor which I need to turbocharged. Some say that it is impossible as the stock compression is already high (9:1is it?) and that the intake and the exhaust being on the same side prevents location of the turbo unit. Hope someone can shed some light on this for me. I read that the stock compression can be reduced by using a thicker gasket and the turbo can be mounted using "J" pipes or some other method. Has anyone turbocharged a 7K-E? I really need some ( a lot of) advise here please. Cheers..

Hello All, Thank you for the comments. I am not much happy about the 7K too but it was a better choice among the once I came across as it had better torque. I am using it in a small suv (something like a suzuki sj 410) which comes with a 48hp 1000cc stock engine. As to the redline rpm, i couldn't find anything so far... too bad as i will be reving this when i get stuck in the mud. For the turbo, the intake and the exhaust is on the same side of the engine. So I guess fixing a turbo is a near impossible?? I have another 2 new issues half way into the project. One is that the sump has to be modified as i have to shift the engine a bit back as the rig is nose heavy. Is there any way to move the oil pick up the back of the oil pan and what are the issues related with it?? The other is that I have fixed the engine in its slanted position when viewed from front and is it possible to lift the nose of the engine (radiator side) to get a bit clearence? This means that the engine would be at an angle when viewd from side (standing next to the fender)? Any help and advice is very much welcome... Thanks a million!

Hiya, Will anyone help me to find the power band curves for toyota 7K-E engine please? Desperately need it... thanks!

Thanks. I am fixing it with a similar angle. But I am not sure if I got the angle to the exact degree right. A number here would be quite helpful. I have enough clearence for the sump since I am fixing it on a 4x4.

Hello there, Greetings for the season. I am using a 7K-E engine as a mod in a small jeep. I would like to get something clarified. First is what is the redline rpm for this engine? Second is can I fit a turbo to this engine? I was told by some that it cannot be done. Third is How to find a service manual for this engine? I am really needing this information and would really appreciate if anyone can help me. thanks a million...

Hello All, I am going to fix a 7k-e (1.8) engine and would like to know if anyone can help me with the angle I should mount it. I see in pictures that it is mounted at an angle and don't know why. So I greatly appreciate if you could help in letting me know the specific angle I should fix it at. cheers.
