Hi,
Nice piece of history there.
But can you tell me this.....the extractors on the engine cast items or steel tube light ones?
If there bent steel pipe ones NOT cast can you see if there is any Toyota logo or weld in Toyota name or anything identifying these extractors?
Cheers

Hi,
Opppss should have been more precise in my first post..LOL
Yes I KNOW it is AM...
Mani question was if I had to get an expander thing-o like FM radios I didnt wanna get a dud.
Reason I also ask is there are a few different part numbers for KE1X radios. And since radio in KE15 isnt original not good enough. SO I am removing it if I get this and making it look more stock.
Cheers

SLO-030 5K ones are the strongest usually the thick ones but these are not light items.
Yes 7K rods agree are 7afe items wont use..LOL
Felix as for motor..don't wanna let too much out but twin sidedrafts upright chrome molly bits titanium bits flashy....
I talked to my engine builder I said if I clean deburr rods at work what will it cost for balance polish and shot peen...he made a few sounds and said still a few $100 to get them mirror finish with a really good even weight spread. If Spool rods come in at $500 they will be lighter, stronger balanced better off the shelf so leaning towards them.

^^ WRONG...there are 3 types. I have a all full sets on my shelf. Was early thin type, medium weight type and heavy one.
By looking at them id use the medium ones for a high reving road/track car. Also the medium weight range ones are out of a dished piston 4K I wrecked so they seem to be a better engine so there prob the best rod also and Toyota in Japan new that that would be my guess.
Also think Ill go with the spool rods. Anyone used them before?

Hi,
Found this KE1X original radio for sale:
But it is in Japan. It is AM not FM and you can see the frequencies on the face plate. Are these the same frequencies as australian radios? If I buy it will it work here?

That is car porn.
As for part numbers for this motor you will be supprised the druy sump pump on the front of the cam and that are off the shelf.
In the ebay section a few weeks back I posted a yahoo link that had a few 3K-r engine parts the dizzy cap, crank conrods etc. Stuff is out there........But sadly my bank says no :)

The JDM KE70 with the factory 5K was the KE74....
I have seen a few in the Brisbane area. Reason I keep an eye out for them is they all had K-T bell housing in them :)

Phosgen gas was used back in the war also to kill the enemy. usless history lesson there.
But to make phosgen gas from a can you need heat to start the reaction for it to form so I wouldnt worry to much. Id worry more about the crap in a can of diet coke or some thing killing you faster than spraying a can of brake cleaner.
But it has been out of many cans for ages as it was a CFC. Another place phsgen gas can be found is in halon fire fighting stuff. Halon puts flames out then under the heat a LOT of phosgen gas forms adn poisions the whole area.

H must of been a few EFI K motors last year I jsut missed a 4K with the old 4K efi loom ecu all there for $150.
Yes bargins to be had...only hours away till it starts folks......

^^^ Yes I have emails spool all ready...LOL
I jsut have noticed a lot of conrod makers list rods for the 3K/4K motor WTF 3K is smaller so I'm trying to get exact messurements on rods so I can cross reference and see if I can get a matching rod stronger/lighter/high reving etc.
But on my way home from work hoping to be getting a spare 4K/5K rod off a mate so well see what I come up with.
But I am looking at 150HP+ at the wheels hopefully out of this motor N/A but it might be reving hard so id like a nice bottom end :jamie:

Kinda confused now. LOL
With no bearing shell it is 45mm. That makes it about 42/43mm with them.
Now I know early K motors have a smaller big end than later K motors like 4K / 5K so what were they?
As a conrod manufacture has asked me what size my conrods are he said he has 43mm or 45mm conrods to suit a K motor so Id take it after Parrot your messurement his is also with out bearing shells making his 43mm rods the older K/2K conrod.
Also 120mm centre to centre sounds right as in my head I had about 118mm.
Also what was the thickness of the conrod Parrot?
Cheers

Hi,
Well I'm kinda looking at building a nice K motor atm..LOL
Man thing I am wanting to know is center to center and Big end width. I am building a 5K and I do belive 4K are same rod. But if there not please tell me.
Cheers

Hi All,
Fast question what are the length of K motor corods? Are they all the same is it jsut the crank that was changed to give bigger stroke?
As I kow the 3K and K motors have a 10mm shorter stroke than a 4/5K motor but I know the cranks are different. Can anyone tell me the length of a K motor conrod?
Cheers

Hi,
For those who need to know that was a stage 2 TRD head for a K motor :D
Valves and all would of been near impossible to get as there bigger and have a 6mm shaft.
Would be a nice piece to have on a more race motor.
Cheers

I have also see 2 different types of 3K push rod. Do vary slightly in length so type of 3K moedl car it was from to help narrow down that type also.
And again lots of different 5K ones need to be more precise so we can messure.

Hi,

YAY another KE going again.
My KE30 has seen its share But has 555,643 KM on the clock original since new (has been in my family) So thre tanks.
Once in anoteh KE of mine the cam in a 5K snapped (yes the cam shaft snapped) But the fragments lodged in a way to lock it together about 30 degrees out but with some carfull dizzy adjustment on side of the road it got me to and from UNI for a WEEK 120km round trip had to do it couldnt see mechanic no cash or parts to fix or time to do my self. Along comes weekend after driving for a week as it all happened on monday new cam adjust everything clean out sump new oil new lifters going again. Thing was wild to drive with..LOL poor mans VVT-i but it did it. So need a good daily can't go past a KE.

Dizzy and the water cooling pip is in the wrong spot for it to be a 3k-R
Id say it is a 16 valve TTE vertion of the 2tg.
