copper gaskets man best way to go

thats for sure but also the way the manifolds are being made will also be the main fix we think.

Now that i have rods ive got to get a head chamber properlly done so i can cc it and get bowl size sorted and then its all off to get honed, o`ringed, balanced and maybe grouting it too.

:dance:

Then its off to the fabricator for manifolds, dump pipe and some catch cans etc. got a dummy engine if the forged motor isnt done in time.

 

stu..

good shit man

I ran a 14.6 quarter in my 3K n/a KE10.

I'm in for this challenge ke10 with a 4k you guys ok with some methanol and a whiff of laughin gas? if so watch this space,

pics to come....

mine goes well for a stock 4kc with just efi bolted on

I reckon Rolou would be in the running with his Ke15 twin carby 7K.....

Maybe 'Clapped Out' could bring his daily out for a run aswell.....

Original cyl head has gone to heaven, will be starting on engine assy early january after car body is done,

just puttin together bits n pieces for now like rollmaster arp kit, methanol floats for dellortos, etc will be teaching the boy

some porting style also...

Okey dokey were gettin close to firing it up!, now hows this k motor title gonna work? fastest quarter mile, or lap time at a particular track?

Id consider the fastest k powered ANYTHING should perhaps be measured over the good ol quarter mile time, as this makes the playing feild a little

more even, we will be shooting for that elusive ONE GOOD RUN with it all staying together to get our timecard, then possibly a state by state shootout

at the nearest strip, vic being calder, qld willowbank etc,i don't think gtech timing on its own would be an accurate guide and most guys will do

this on the street

and i don't beleive in traffic light trophies..remember when racing was run what you brung and hope you brung enough!..... thoughts?

Sounds good to me... I don't have a hope of being fast but would be fun to see if the old Toyoglide and stock diff can handle a couple hard runs down the quarter behind the camed 5K with twin carbies.

Anyone got rough idea how much power would be required to run high 13s low 14s in a ke10?? Been trying to read the thread but too many pages to read on a little phone..

90rwkw ish runs 100-ish mph traps in a ke10 at stock weight ..easy for 13's

cheers

You probably know most of the usual suspects. Myself, Madrolla68's old car, Darren (Untubbed_20) who did the 13.3. Kickn5k also got a pretty stout setup but I don't think he's ever done a 1/4 pass. Same with Loupee - he has a 5k running an S15 BB T28 on like 16psi running on gas.

Also have you ever seen this one.....

 

There's also another 7kze setup I've seen in a publica ute IIRC thats somewhere in like Finland or Norway. Never seen how it goes though. One of our members has pilfered a pic of the engine bay as an avatar pic.....

If you do a youtube search for 4k turbo or 5k turbo there's also a few more on there you may have never seen before.

Yup sounded just like mine does with that weird double take off..when you dump it it leaps, kinda hesitates like all the parts are catching up and then zoom.

I really should have run the blown setup.

New owner may, be good to see what it'd run in a heavy weight 55!!

 

I will definatly beat the bugeebus out of the turbo setup! Cheat85, anti-lag and all that fun stuff!!

Won't be seeing any 1/4 trap speeds any time Stu....maybe 1/8 if you're lucky.... That is unless Leigh decided to race in Melbourne!
