I don't know if anyone has posted this, Teddy said he hadn't seen this, so I'd thought I'd post it.

 

 

3KR in KP47 Starlet

 

This is car porn!!!!

Banana's. I love the throttles, I've heard about the slide type throttle but never seen them. Wouldn't want to leave it idling too long or she'd get a half a cup of fuel build up and you'd flood it when you hit the juice!

 

Panhard and trailing arms on the stock leaf rear end, I've often thought about doing that.

It's the only way to stop diff steer in a leaf sprung rear end.

Hard to believe this was made in the 70's.

 

But doesn't it sound FAT!!!

 

Also, how cool is the mechanical fuel injection, and it has a dry sump setup as well.

wow, i want

 

 

is that sliding throttle thing the way bike carbies work? i remember seeing something like that on a 4k with quad moto carbies.

so awsome

Now that's just a mean thing to do, posting something that is effectively made of unobtainium for us mere mortals.

as an engineer all i can do is sit here thinking - "yeh, I can design a twin cam head"

 

mech injection is the ducks guts, there's a joint rebuilding the Porsche flat 8's for the 917 racecars and the old school mech injection on them is crazy. I was almost tempted to write down the nippon denso part number of the injector pump and see if I can find one!

 

Digging the way they mounted and drive the oil pump as well.

sounds rad!!!!!! love it, revs hard!!!!

God, love the sound of an angry K :)

That is car porn.

 

As for part numbers for this motor you will be supprised the druy sump pump on the front of the cam and that are off the shelf.

 

In the ebay section a few weeks back I posted a yahoo link that had a few 3K-r engine parts the dizzy cap, crank conrods etc. Stuff is out there........But sadly my bank says no :)

Best Toyota engine ever made. :)

180hp @ 9500rpm :)

Sooooo awesome. Would love to turn up to speedway with this bad boy under the hood. lol

That thing is f@$king awesome. It's a shame more 3k-r's weren't made. The sound of that engine is purely orgasmic! Lovin the wheel spacers on the hubs lol. I wish I could speak japanese! :)

I've often thought "it can't be that hard" to make one as well. One day.

 

I saw this motor in Tokyo, I should have grabbed part numbers for you guys :)
