KE30_KE35_KE55 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 should have lots of torque. I wonder how a toyota/ holden Trimatic would go behind a 7k. in a KE30, I could build a stronger trans if they use the same housing as the v8 trimatic.

78_7kRolla Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) I'm pretty sure when I got my 7K (which was in a ke35 at the time) the sump had been swapped for the 35 sump. P.S. Haven't been on here in months so I'm going through and reading all the old 7k threads.  i seriously doubt that as we tried a 3k and 4k sump and they both didn't even line up to the 7k block. The only one we didn't try was a 5k sump so we had to cut the 7k sump to clear the crossmember instead.

Ben Dover Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Please, what is a 7K and what is it out of, and what did it go into. Would it have been to hard to move the motor back and get the tail shaft cut so it would clear the stering. Â Ben Dover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 7k is a 1.8 litre K motor. Came in efi and carby forms and is commonly found in late model lite ace vans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Not lite-ace, it is found in the Townace models. Probably what you meant! - see pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dookie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 so apart from knockin in the sump, using the 4k box, clutch, flywheel, and engine mounts.....there was no modifications needed at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollaboy2608 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 so apart from knockin in the sump, using the 4k box, clutch, flywheel, and engine mounts.....there was no modifications needed at all? I did my conversion on a KE30, and the sump had to be modified quite a bit. Also the engine mounts had to be shimmed otherwise it wouldnt bolt up. Anyone who says its bolt in is lieing! I also found out the hard way that the 7K fly and clutch, although it will fit, doesnt drive well at all, and requires mods to bellhousing. I also had to disconnect the heater, as the hoses and fitting were different sizes, and also had impossible bends in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 i wonder how long a standard K40 and clutch assy lasts behind a worked 7K. mmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 i wonder how long a standard K40 and clutch assy lasts behind a worked 7K. mmm. Â My stock 7k just have a K50 behind it. Â ...but yeah I don't trust that. Thats why I have a K-W50 sitting there ready for my next project. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan G Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 whats the power/torque for the 7k compaired to the 4kc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seabiscuit Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Lots more! I haven't looked myself but I'm quite sure it can be found in the FAQ's. Â whats the power/torque for the 7k compaired to the 4kc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan G Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 7k = 80 hp (60 kW) at 4600 RPM and 103 ft·lbf (139 N·m) at 2800 RPM 4k = 65 hp (48 kW) at 5600 RPM and 72 ft·lbf (97 N·m) at 3600 RPM  not enough to blow diffs?  i wouldnt bother for 25hp and 40nm more, i prob can get that with a dodgy turbo 4kc  my 2 cents anyways :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love ke70 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 7k = 80 hp (60 kW) at 4600 RPM and 103 ft·lbf (139 N·m) at 2800 RPM4k = 65 hp (48 kW) at 5600 RPM and 72 ft·lbf (97 N·m) at 3600 RPM  not enough to blow diffs?  i wouldnt bother for 25hp and 40nm more, i prob can get that with a dodgy turbo 4kc  my 2 cents anyways :wink:  that torque would make a HUGE difference, and you will find the 7k with mild work would be much more lively than that. and its gonna be alot neater and more headache free than a turbo 4k, and probably cost about the same, depending on factors...

Tally Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 so basically with that extra torque, if you had a 7k in a ke70 it could actually rip skids? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
