Saw this guys car on boost and it looks like it has a K motor

 

Still can't be sure if it is or not...just thought Id post it up for you guys to comment on

nah its got a carby

 

I started thinking that maybe its a diesil K engine!? The spark plugs don't look like theyre connected to a dizzy or any ignition device...might have been replaecd with glow plugs (looking more closely I can see a vac advance device below all that)

 

but then you look at other parts that make you think that its petrol.

 

If I had to put an engine specification on it I would have to say its a 5K

youd have to ask him about it

i doubt it's a K engine, even though it looks like it... it's most likelly the 2.2l deisel

Damn, thats one messy engine bay..

I think you will find that it is a 3Y engine found in the petrol hilux's and also hiaces... It also has a 2l engine capacity, 75kw of power.

Looks very similar

 

Perhaps we could pilfer some parts (crank shaft?)

It looks like a Y engine. similer looking to a K, nothing interchanges, i think.

2Y = 1.8 Litre

3Y = 2.0 Litre

4Y = 2.2 Litre

 

It would be intresting to see if these bolt in to a early corolla. Not too sure on power output though. Have to be resonable though.

that car is quite gross.

it reminds me of a hangover incarnated into vehicle form.

from drinking powers.

same engine as my townace, the plug tubes are interchangeable.

That is one of the dirtiest engine bays ive ever seen

hahaha nice post simon :(

its a Y series petrol engine, with a blowen sump and head gaskets, stick with the k engine these have to many bugs in them and are a low reving engine, and they quite big for what they are, the only good side is EFI is still easily available but if you rev on of these above 4k rpm the head gasket gives in,

 

it 2.2ltr diesel gives 49kw at the fly whell so i dun think it s diesel LOL

to get 84kw from a 2.2 would take to much work......
