  1. thought i would put this up here as this is what i bought after i built a tough 4k for my ke20 and found it stil went like crap details: 71 model ga galant sigma 2.6 with 5spd magna flat tops balance shafts removed mild cam 32/36 weber 4-1 extractors into 2.5" exhaust. bilstien rear shocks galant wagon diff with open centre and spare welded in the shed tramp bars skyline front springs and bilstien shock inserts disc brake front rear venetians sparco steering wheel 15x6 minilites and a set of sigma turbo wheels tyres good original paint with a couple of dents but still very presentable registered till the 27th of jan 2011 great as a daily and great for hillclimbs $4000 ono car is located between Orange and Bathurst
  2. so I'm close to putting my 4k back in the car and looking at carby options i have a 32DATR36 webber i think i will use but just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this or knows the difference between dvg and datr ? any help is much aperciated
  3. hi currently building a 4k tighe 104 and hoping to get 8.3 dynamic compression just wondering if anyone has found that the increased lift and machining so much iff the cyl head that the valves end up hitting the pistons , i am planing to check the clearance before final assembly and will post up my findings then but just checking if anyone has done this before thanks
  4. yea shot piening should stop the cracking issue , but if you can't get yours done , a needle pien/descaler air powered gadget is the next best thing !
  5. yea i thought about machining the step on the front then didnt . maybe i should have ? probably wouldnt make too much difference now that the bulk is gone. i wont realy know if mine is any better than standard though as it is going on a whole new setup .
  6. so i have been reading up in this forum for a while and lots of people ask about flywheel lightening and weights so here is what i found before i started machining the flywheel weighed 7.9 kg , i believe this is a standard 4k flywheel after machining the back only the flywheel weighs 6.2kg , i think this should make some difference to the way the car revs , also after maching i shot peined the back to combat the cracking issues that come with lightening cast flywheels , although i am sure it would not break anyway. after maching i balanced the flywheel on the end of the carnk shaft, and it was only out 1.8 grams , so it seems fi you set the flywheel up well in the lathe there is very little balancing to do . i hope this helps !
  7. just keep in mind balancing the rods , is not just getting the overall weights right . they need to be balanced end to end , so that the rotating ends all weigh the same and the reciprocating ends all weigh the same .
  8. yea but by the time you get it here its worth a fortune , thanks anyway , as soon as i find a gearbox i will make one up and if it is a sucess i will make a few more if anyone is interested
  9. yea but these things are rare as right ? plus the cost and being the the lucky one who snaps it up when they do pop up for sale ,when i make my own its free , just my time involved.
  10. i am not a member of that site so cannot view it , what is it ,
  11. hi I'm new to rollaclub and verry impressed there is so much great info out there great site ! i am currently building a 4k for my ke 20 , tige 104 , 10:1 comp extractors and a small webber . i plan to lock the diff and generally give it a fairly hard time so the k 40 must go . So here is the plan i am hoping to cut the k40 gearbox casing and with an adaptor use it as the bellhousing for a t 50 just wondering if anyone out there has tried this before ? and any other comments / info would be greatly appreciated . also if anyone has a t50 from a ta22 they wish to sell that would be great
