kiahn Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 get a hell lightweight flywheel and something up around the 288+ cam shaft and get some porting done on the head and that is about the closest you will get without replacing "up and down" with "around and around" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob83ke70 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) oooh oooh oooh I know!!! (very excited here) convert it to a electric car with massive torque electric motors, and engineer an audio setup to make it sound like a rotary while it is driving!! with the way battery technology is at the moment you'd probably get similar range as a grumpy little rotary's fuel milage...

seabiscuit Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've got a 5k with a stage 4 or 5 cam.. It idles a bit like a rotary, but doesn't "sound" like one. It only does the barp-barp idle. It has high compression, ported head, solid lifters, 2" exhaust with extractors, and a single weber. And rev's off it's head ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Raven was telling me a mate of his had a 5k with twin carbs (dellortoes?) and some other work and apparantly fooled a few cops into thinking it was a rotor. Yeah that was Xany who has already posted up his vids :yes: I think it sounds Rotorish ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xany Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) The Car in those vids is grover.... vvvv Sig for details....and no its not a Rotor....its definately a 5K, but apparently according to the cops it doesnt look or sound like a toyota engine. Go figure. And you don't realise how many times i've been asked if its a rotor.....my standard response now is, "yeah mate....13B bridgy."

coln72 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 With the 3" droopy and race stickers all over my old KE20 club car, I used to be asked if it was a rotary all the time even without starting it ;) Had one 5k that would rock the whole car at idle. That used to get some looks on a Saturday night sitting at the lights. Not many takers when they spotted that and the 225's under the rear of a KE35. Poeple actually thought the car was a Mazda. Funny thing was that it was running a stock cam!!!!!! but about as high as compression as you could go on pump fuel at the time (back in the leaded fuel days).

Felix Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Thing is though, with a 5k, if you go any bigger than about a 280-285 degree cam (advertised duration) you are just making noise. You will kill off the bottom end and make SFA improvement in the top end compared to a milder cam. A motor with a milder cam will shit all over it at anything below 7 grand. Really for anything over a 285 degree cam, you should fit oversized valves and get the head professionally ported by someone with the aid of a flow bench. The stock valve size is the biggest limitation to power, even with porting. Cams over 285 degrees are race cams. You need a close ratio gearset to keep the motor in it's powerband between changes. But anyway, I guess it comes down to what you want... Pose or performance. Edited October 11, 2009 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob83ke70 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 kylie's ke55 with a 4k is still reasonably drivable (although a bit loud) and she gets asked all the time if it is a rotary.... damn bogans that don't know what a camshaft does and what a rotary sounds like....

KE55PIG Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 I'm about to replce my stock cam with a 280/286 dur cam for that rotor sound and obvisouly power. currently running a 4spd would i be best of going for a 5 spd as guessing they have closer gear sets ? so i can get a quicker take off ??
