Ke50 Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 ok heres the specs, fairly stripped KE50 with some spare parts in the boot. gen3 5.7 watanabe style mags is a work in progress at the moment. Quote
kangaroosa Posted July 24, 2005 Report Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) That wouldnt just be a cover over the stock K or 2T motor, would it? ;)09 You could have at least hidden the stock air filter and the ignition lead. Edited July 24, 2005 by kangaroosa Quote
Ke50 Posted July 24, 2005 Author Report Posted July 24, 2005 hahahah darn. nah this one has a 3k, my other one has a 2t the filter is for the airbox? haha and the ingitions lead just looks cool. its all very real! :D Quote
dysolve Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 how hard was it to mount the real radiator in the boot?? :D Quote
rjenman Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 i wonder if this means all gen3 V8's are just K motors in disguise Quote
kangaroosa Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 and roughly 1/4 to 1/5 of the power. :jamie: Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 that's pretty optimistic, i'd be saying more like a tenth :jamie: Quote
kangaroosa Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 (edited) Maybe i did the maths wrong. 60hp 3K = 44kW Gen 3 = 215kW Gen 3 has 4.8 times the hp of a 60hp 3K. Edited July 27, 2005 by kangaroosa Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 i was being humorous :o :jamie: however, there is no way in hell a stock 3k REALLY makes 60bhp, probably more like 45. and depending on what car we're talking about, a gen 3 makes 215kw, 225kw, 255kw, or 300kw from the factory, so there's a bit of room for movement in the maths 300kw = 402hp. 45hp is 11% of 402hp. close enough to one tenth :unsure: Quote
kangaroosa Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 Fair enough. I wasnt trying to correct you. I was just using basic figures off your FAQ page. Quote
Super Jamie Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 i know, it's all good mate :o and toyota say SEVENTY THREE horsepower for a 3k, i say :jamie: to that :unsure: Quote
dysolve Posted July 27, 2005 Report Posted July 27, 2005 they maybe only a 10th the power but there's ten times the life in them, if you don't know already search the net for all of the gen3 problems... let just say i have seen a 4k do over 500000km and still have oil pressure, i have heard of at least 3 gen3 that have no oil pressure after 10000km..... umm my maths are worng does that make them 50 times better???
