I wouldn't need vacuum for the cover breather to work with the catch can? I just have the classic small filter on top and seems to work fine, the can would just catch the engine juice and still supply the motor with fresh air, with one like this. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aluminium-Baffled-Engine-Oil-Catch-Can-2x-AN10-Twin-Port-Breather-Filter-Polishe/272950894232?hash=item3f8d241e98:g:gOsAAOSwFO5aFqTp I'll be running the PCV like you did in the diagram. just without the can, AltezzaClub gave me the info I needed to set up that.

You absolute legend! i'll take my manifold to the machinist and get 2 ports tapped, (cheers for the offer of the drill and bit) I'm going to run 2 ports like you did. Cheers heaps. this makes it a lot easier!
-
I see, so running the catch can runs fine, how would I hook the brake booster up? Altezza said about T'ing it in. What's your thoughts? Also. Is this how you would hook the can up? Sorry about all the questions. I haven't had much luck with searching, and I don't want to cook my newly aquired 5k haha
-
Mint, I'll order a catch can soon
-
But isn't that the rocker breather and not the PCV? I thought that was for the port more to the front in the middle, where as the PCV is further back
-
Cheers for the reply Parrot, There is actually no way I can put it into the air cleaner, (unless I build an airbox). I'll be running trumpets, so I guess i'll run a catch can.

G'day fellas, I've recently picked up a 5k and twin SU carbs. I have stripped the carbs down and cleaned them up. However, I can't see how the PCV hose will have it's run off. What way are they normally hooked up? A catch can? (AltezzaClub? I've read how you set up yours, but I couldn't see the vavle) Cheers!

Hey! Wasn't this one for sale on here a few months back? Looks mint man
-
I've been stock piling parts recently, Picked up this 5k with a bunch of goodies for only $600! (Cheers Gavin you legend) Then I picked up these matched twin SU carbs with the full K series kit for $250 delivered. Sweet! Not sure if I want to go normal air filter or trumpets with socks. The plan is, in the new year to strip the engine bay, fix some minor rust and paint it. Then source a 5 speed and enjoy it

I know EXACTLY how you feel Dave, there was a 5k and 5 speed for $500 on gumtree a few months back, I said i'd buy it 30 mins after the ad was put up. I said about 5 times i'm happy to deposit and pick it up on saturday (this was on Thursday). He said it was fine and he'd hold it for me, saturday morning 5 mins before leaving to pick it up. I message him to confirm times. And he'd sold it a day before. It's disgusting how people don't care about trust and being a top bloke. I hope you can find one that's worth it

wow, those are some creative ideas. Goes to show how strong these K motors are, even in the toughest situations they're still kicking! Onya Jeremy. Plus that jeep sounds like a duck flapping in water ;) -
I'm running Michelin XM Energy 2, 150 each and they're noticeably better than the others I was running

I've only seen ke55 bonnets with the te37 bonnets

Cheap 4k's, maybe not anymore........................
SloRolla replied to Clapped out's topic in Automotive Discussion
I spent about a year half looking for a 5k, finally found one for $600 with some new bits and with a weber! -
Check the fuel solonoid! They can be quite dinky at times, when you unplug the only electrical wire on the carb, does it "click" when you plug it in and out?
-
It's pretty tricky if you're new to do without a timing light (I struggle with one ;) ) You can get them pretty cheap these days. And always useful with these old engines. heres a WiKi link, I can't really find a simple guide. It's not hard though It'll take a few tries of course. https://www.wikihow.com/Adjust-Timing Edit: Does she run fine at higher revs and speed? Something may have blown into the carb while you were replacing something and blocked it, also. Check the vac lines. one could be cracked or unplugged.
-
is your timing out? sometimes you can bump it while removing the fuel pump
-
you'd blow up the stock diff in half a lap of drifting. Sr20s are not cheap to put in ke30s, 4ages are more "bolt in"
-
I'm running 14x7 -7 with no issues.
-
Wow! That's super old school, you sure love making us jealous with these 86s ;)
-
What Taz said, k40s blow up with 4ks anyway. So a 4age would be suicidal

Gumtree, eBay, Facebook, or just go to wreckers really

A snap from ToyotaFest! I got the fender mirrors a week or two before the show It was my first event and I loved every minute! A guy there was selling some roof racks so I picked them up, and I think they look great! And I also got my Ps! First time, and the corolla took me on the test and got me 95% of my hours!
-
Welcome! I'm sure you'll love the car. Is it a ke30? If so, they came with the 3K engine. But both ke3*/5* all came with the k40 gearbox, so the gearbox you have is fine :)
