Hey, had this KE70 for a little while now and am really over the lack of power that its got, was wondering if i could get some advice about a better engine for the rolla thats not going to take too much cutting of the car and an engine thats not going to attract the cops

 

cheers

5K out of a liteace.

Look the same and straight bolt in.

 

Or a 4a-c out of an AE71. Bit more work.

How good is the 4K you have?? Rings and bearings side of things??

 

Is it worth getting a better carb, cam & exhaust so it keeps up with the traffic OK, or do you want more than that?

 

Can you fit the above to your 4K and if you're still short of grunt get a 5K and put everything on that? You'd need to sort the cam so it could run with or w/o hydraulic tappets, or convert the 5k to solid lifters.

 

Still a lot easier and cheaper than dropping in a 4AGE or Nissan.

not to sure how the rings and bearings are, just really looking for a bit more grunt to get through the hills of adelaide. i throw so much petrol away from going up those things at 4000 rpm at 60km/h sucks ass.
