April 4, 201016 yr Author comment_427021 It was a standard bottom end, including pistons, the cam was a 43/78, trd uprite kit, 2 dellortos, ported head with 12:1 cr, running avgas, only revved to 8 grand. nothing special!! But f@$k it went like a dog shot in the ass. Up to 100km it would keep up with a mazda 4wd turbo. Report
April 4, 201016 yr comment_427062 what gearbox did you run behind it? and where did you get the upright kit from? Report
April 4, 201016 yr Author comment_427072 The gearbox was a standard k50, we did have a TRD close box but never used it in rally's as it was shit.(wrong ratios) We bought the last TRD up rite kit that was available in NZ at the time(1988) if i remember right. Report
April 5, 201016 yr comment_427125 What a screamer. Awesome! :blush: NZ must be a fantastic yet terrifying place to rally. Some of the unguarded drops I saw while I was over there, bugger that! Report
April 5, 201016 yr comment_427187 that's a weapon, imagine that motor in something even lighter like a 10 or 20! Report

April 5, 201016 yr Author comment_427415 was the 323 4wd shit? not saying yours is slow but was it pretty much stock the 323? No it was another rally car, and he was a mate of ours. Don't forget, power to weight ratio. I'm not sure what diff ratios he ran either, but he was surprised as much as we were. Many times in rally's it would hose 4wd turbos, and the current one does the same, and it's only 1500cc. Report

April 11, 201016 yr comment_428924 sounds the same as my motor just no upright kit and webers whats a trd upright kit? Report
April 11, 201016 yr comment_428931 whats a trd upright kit? The K-motor normally sits on a lean towards the passengers side (ie the intake/exhaust side). An upright kit rotates the engine so it doesn't sit on a lean, which helps for adding side-draught carbies (otherwise you have clearance issues with the strut tower) Report

An upright kit rotates the engine so it doesn't sit on a lean, which helps for adding side-draught carbies (otherwise you have clearance issues with the strut tower) so jus engine mounts and stuff Report
