Falken_KE30 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 :P @ straw/chip comparison. Nice work Az! Ditto on that, i nearly coughed my drink over the monitor reading that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinKE55 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 you would be surprised, one of the guys i know there owns a honda CRX, 11.5:1(ish) compression ratio, 156hp @ the wheels, very fast i reackon i'll just stick with my good old 1300... Honda CRX is also light. Light cars with good horsepower will beat a car with the same horsepower and heavier body. Your options are either design a head Or stick with the K engine. Once you have worked your engine so much, find ways to try and lighten your car legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE ping it real Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Light cars with good horsepower will beat a car with the same horsepower and heavier body.

TE278U Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 apparently there were some kawasaki valve springs that could be modified to go on the 3k head that would make the top end good for 11,000 rpm. with a massive port/polish, lumpy cam and twin solexs/webers, you should be able to get the front wheels off the ground. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae174agze Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 don't think the block and crank will go to 11k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying it for people who know less about cars than what others may. Just like women filling up there engine oil to the brim so they can see the engine has oil. *Shakes head* Hehehehe.

maxyboy55 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 today i made water injection for my car (i know i am veering off subject a bit), and i want to make the compression ratio around 10:1 to 10.5:1 (ish) so if anyone has shaved a bit off there 4k head, how much did you take off and what compression ratio did it end up being? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogs Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 A number of people have got the head shaved and it makes a great difference whilst being fairly cheap. Not much needs to be taken off, I think about 20thou or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot35 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 what compression ratio did they end up getting? Measure it, and CC all the combustion chambers while you're there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
