I nearly did it on a 4k. :y: Yeah they are 1ggtte's. hmmm twin turbo on a 7k? would need solid lifters?? that plus a supercharger?? plus cam grind... lookin at what power?? somethin stupid!!?? Motor wouldn't last! about 200 or so Hp or more?? Report
February 12, 200818 yr comment_227404 Depends how much boost you wanna pump into her!! :sob: Yeah 7ktte :P Solids are not essential. No, just the twins, they're torquey little things, would "spool up" nearly as quick as the blower anyway. I'd seriously consider leaving the stock cam, if not something very mild. K's are indestructable,....don't be a sook!! :y: I'd say 200hp wouldn't be to unreasonable on a mild tune!! There's not too much around in the way of worked 7k for a reference.......be the first!! :S Report
February 13, 200818 yr Author comment_227698 thats the idea. my mate has tols me though that he won't split the motors up for turbos. but he does have an RB20 turbo i can buy. My plans are.. supercharge or turbo whichever comes along first or better... cam grind chrome rings double valve springs thats as far as i've gotten but i'm open to more suggestions. Report
February 13, 200818 yr Author comment_227699 Also... what is going to be involved with the fuel system? i wanna go injected and i just don't understand about surge tanks and regulators and stuff!! lol Report
February 13, 200818 yr comment_227751 I wrote a HOW TO on fuel systems in the generally mechanical section last month. It has been stickey'd below the KExx, AExx etc sections. :y: Just buy a whole 1g if you have to. whip the turbo off it and sell the pistons and rods to somebody rebuilding a 4k. Yes they fit, do a search on it. :S Report
April 2, 200818 yr Author comment_236894 Ok.. long time. Car now dead. Time for 7k i believe. SC. Had a thought though! 7k runs a high compression ratio. with supercharge i'd only be bale to run about 2-3 psi reliably! Soooo i was thinking..(it hurts) What about oing a straight gas conversion? this lowers the compression but still gives you same power! then i can SC and run a heap of boost reliably! Please thoughts? Report

April 2, 200818 yr comment_237016 Hey all. ummm been discussing what to do to my 7K when it comes.... and the general consensus is that supercharging will be better? now i've read that 7K's don't like revving? is this because of hydrolic lifters? thoghts anyone? turbo or SC? Report
April 2, 200818 yr comment_237018 What about oing a straight gas conversion?this lowers the compression but still gives you same power! then i can SC and run a heap of boost reliably! Not quite: Compression remains the same, but you can run LPG At a higher compression ratio than petrol. I have considered LPG in the past, but once you start looking into it, theres a whole lot of stuff to do all with dollar tags. There used to be a supercharged LPG 5k getting around melbourne though, so its definitely acheivable. Just pull the slugs out, get them dished, whack em in at lower comp and off you go. Go for medium compression (9ish) and medium boost, game on! Report
April 4, 200818 yr comment_237257 ??? never heard of it...you having a joke or is that for real? No its very real and is what would fix the hi- comp/boost problem without taking any comp out Report
April 4, 200818 yr comment_237259 Water methanol injection is for real. Good stuff. And easy to make a DIY setup or buy one if needed. Also I havent really looked at a 7K before but I think it has the same stroke as a 5K. IF it is the same stroke use 4agze conrods. They are a bit shorter than 5K items and forged :abuse: So strong rods will jsut drop compression DONE :owned: Cameron Report
