emu Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I'd be grateful if a few opinions could be made here, on how much power gain you might expect by fitting a Nikki off a Gemini to a KE55 Thanks, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've "heard" it allows the motor to rev out a lot more. Thats all the info I can give you at this point in time until I fit one of these to my KE36 in the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO83 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 How hard is it to fit one to a 55? as in what will i need to change it all over? If there is a thread on fitting one of these feel free to yell at me :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 unbolt stock carb.......bolt on new one. Bout that simple. Hardest part would be running a positive on power wire to the fuel solenoid if it has one. Are you talking about the one Ollae82 has for sale, cause that used to be mine??

Davros El Davros Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 There is a thread with exactly what you are after in the FAQ section... Here's the link: http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?tit...ki_Carb_On_A_4K Let us know how you go. I have been thinking about doing this as well, but think I will just end up chucking my twin SU's back on.. Davros Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasios Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 have you looked into any other carb options? whats your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) Its not really worth upgrading the carb unless you have an upgraded exhaust and cam first. A bigger carb will make your motor lose torque in the lower rev range. Useful gains can be had by experimenting with jetting in the stock carb and fitting a freeer flowing filter setup, or cutting down the original filter housing. The gemini nikkis have vacuum secondaries. They can be modded to make them mechanical. Edited April 3, 2007 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I believe it comes down to your carb really, If it was shit like mine was the gemini carb was a good upgrade. Unlike the other KE70 I have here which the carb still goes great. I felt the gemini carb was better matched to a stock 4K than a weber is, Fond memories of kicking nicks old KE70 off the line because the weber would bog down..

paulie Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 hey man don't waste ur time with a nikki carbie, i ran twin SU's a large race cam and extractors on the 4k in a ke70, it went quite well all along the rev range. this entire set up cost me under $500.00 ull b amazed an old junk 4k can sound so good!

Raven Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Paulie, have you stopped to think that maybe he doesnt want to spend $500 and only $100 or so to get his car going a little better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Sometimes it doesn't come down to performace, Just better drivability.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
