August 25, 200818 yr comment_270366 i drive a 2 door ke30, still got the 3k with a side draught webber and extractors. next is exhaust when i have the money free. i don't want a huge increase in horsepower but wouldnt mind a lil more grunt :no2: would it be easier to fit a small turbo (and what size would people reccomend?) or just go to a 4k or 5k? i don't really have heaps of money, space at my house or any of the equipment for engine swap etc. so what does everyone reckon? open to constructive critisim cheers guys :dance: Report

August 25, 200818 yr Author comment_270368 yeah i wanted to go 5k intitailly but i don't have access to an engine crane and wouldnt have a clue on where to start with takin the 3k out an puttin the 5k in. would my webber and extractors fit a 5k or not? Report
August 25, 200818 yr comment_270379 you don't need a crane, just a strong broomstick and some rope and two dudes. Report
August 25, 200818 yr comment_270392 5k swap is going to be way easier, cheaper and more reliable than turbo 3k conversion. Report
August 25, 200818 yr comment_270395 reliabilty is the key word here.. A turbo 3k would be heaps of fun to build and play with, but if you don't have the knowledge or skills to work on it yourself when there's a problem you've lost your reliability. Thats why people will always recommend more CC's.. Report
August 26, 200818 yr comment_270399 Just give it a shot. Read taz's thread, slap one together, when you put a rod through the block, either put another one in and do it again or have a 4k/5k on standby to drop that in instead! Report
August 31, 200818 yr Author comment_271627 you don't need a crane, just a strong broomstick and some rope and two dudes. alright, havin said that I'm sure there would be a lil bit more involved... but i get the general idea. anyone know if the extractors i have on the 3k would fit a 5k? Report
August 31, 200818 yr comment_271639 haha I'm turboing my 4k its a lot of work to get it right, i think putting a 5k in would of been the better idea but hey I'm learning and be something different Report

Yeh ive doin it on a 4k, i could offer you some help on how to do it. Currently doing mine with a blow threw carbie set up which is a pain because i have to make custom box for carby but finally got it made up. Its the same setup as taz_rx's.
