Looks pretty clean mate, lovin the 4 door KE20.

 

How I wish I coud have a 4 door KE20.

 

Cheers, Ben.

Gotta agree with benzo, the 4 door looks awesome. Everyone always wants what they can't have.

 

Lovin the colour of this car too. The 120 hours was definately worth it. Great stuff.

Dreams Are Free.

 

By the way, i dyno'db the car yesterday and got 85hp ATW, Not bad i thought.

Sounds like a very thorough job.

 

May I ask, how much did you get shaved off the head ?

Was it about 20 thou ? (I am looking into some options for my build)

 

Thanks,

thats how i want my engine bay! schmick0!

 

nice 20.

 

ps. is the early 20 grille usable on the later models?

Mitch thats a late KE25 grille.

 

85hp at the wheels aint bad at all for a very mild 5K, well done!

 

Cheers, Ben.

Um was about 10thou only shaved it because had welding done to it.

 

Compression ratio was 9.7-1 so could have gone higher but don't want it pinking.

 

I must say for the money you could spend on a 4k to get 85hp, your much better

off getting a good 5k a do what i did, Id like to see a 4k pull up a hill like my 5k ;)
