VHR32 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) I had a hot 3K in my old Corolla and it shat all over a 4AGE 20v with close ratio gearbox, Motec etc on the track. Here is a pic of the engine which was upright. New engine and gearbox mounts custom sump and pick up custom manifolds bent gear lever and modified hole Good luck with it!

love ke70 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I do beleive this is the tittle of the thread: Custom Built 4k Upright Motor Fitting, who has done it? hear is what I'm doing. HERE is what I'm doing. NOT tell me how to do this, how can i do this. WHO has done it. NOT what did u do and how did u do it. What i was trying to state before was these people did something out of the norm, they were different and did things their own way. your sitting there tellin him he shouldnt do it because he wont get more power or thats it stupid and if its so good why arent people using it more. he wants to do something thats not so common. thats all in tryin to say. If u don't like what hes doin, keep ya nose outta the thread, Simple. CHEERSRyan what was the 4age 20 valve in VHR32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irokin Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Who cares thats coool and different, just what most people think is bad or something CHEERS Ryan So why don't people put Rolls-Royce Griffon's in corollas then? That'd be cool and different! Oh thats right, because its a bad idea!! Honestly if he had a good reason to do an upright I'm all for it, otherwise find yourself a 4A-C someones throwing out and put that in. Shazam instant upright, no need for custom bits and its almost as crappy as a K!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHEERS Ryan Ryan we have no problem with him wanting to upright his engine, Its the fact that people say it increases power or reduces piston wear that is annoying, He has already stated that he isnt doing it to put twin carbs on it anytime soon but if he wants the look of a normal looking engine then so be it.

towe001 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) No..... If the crank was off centre to the bore then yes but its pushing the piston straight, If you have excess wear on your piston from it being pushed into the bore then you have different dramas. But wouldn't the piston get pushed the direction the conrod is angled to in its upwards stroke ? And what about "piston slap", where the piston more or less rocks in the cylinder ? The whole idea of the piston just going up and down just doesn't work in the real world cause of the angles the conrod achieves in pushing the piston up and then when the piston comes back down acting on the crank to turn it around. The piston gets pushed and pulled to the sides in its movement.. Personally, i like the whole idea that Spittao is getting at The only mod needed after this is of filling in the intake ports and moving them more upwards so that they open up into the side of the rocker cover. Takes out the dog-leg at the intake valves that way. And if David Vizard could do it to his 105E Anglia and get some serious horsepower from that i reckon it'd be interesting on a K motor Edit (again) - I like the simplicity of the K motor and if i ever go back to a twin cam EFI it'd be a swift G13B Edited May 12, 2008 by towe001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
