Taz_Rx Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 You've pictured a ke30/55 4 speed there, so you'll have to cut a hole for the shifter. Like you said a ke70 box will line up with the auto shifter hole. Oh and you can't use a 5k head on a 4k as it'll give you something stupid like 14:1 compression. 3k head will up the CR on a 4k acceptable though. Quote
jaygore Posted December 7, 2010 Report Posted December 7, 2010 I will be watching this one as I am thinking of super charging my 5k in my ke20 Quote

Yeh, thought that it would need cutting to fit a ke70 box but didnt realise that the auto box was in the right spot, least the ke70 5spd's are more common to find! Ah what i meant was 4k head on 5k block, but we have found a 5k head so will be doing a complete 5k. Quote
SLW42 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Posted December 9, 2010 5k head on a 4k as it'll give you something stupid like 14:1 compression. = Massively awsome naturally aspirated motor Quote
Taz_Rx Posted December 9, 2010 Report Posted December 9, 2010 = Massively awsome naturally aspirated motor Only if you run it on methanol! Quote
SLW42 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Posted December 9, 2010 Only if you run it on methanol! Meh e85 methanol hybrid k motor ftw Quote
haydoss Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Posted December 12, 2010 Took out the 3K today! Getting closer :) Quote
haydoss Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) well, putting the 5k together, still need 4 pushrods that are 141.5mm ball and cup, cos we don't have the 5k rocker gear, so if anybody has any that size or knows where to get some, let me know if you can ;) . Gonna hopefully clean the rest of the bay and put in the engine/block and gearbox on sunday, rego soon and then putting on the superchargerrrrr !! Edited January 11, 2011 by haydoss Quote
haydoss Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 Got the 5K and gearbox in today, just gotta find 2 more pushrods from an A10/Datsun 1000 engine to complete it. Made an adaptor to put the pulley from the crank and the supercharger to spin together Once we get some pushrods, hopefully get the supercharger in and ready to go :D Quote
SLO-030 Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Do they need to be A10's ? I got a set of A12's here somewhere.. Quote
haydoss Posted January 16, 2011 Author Report Posted January 16, 2011 Yeh , 141.5mm ball and cup, but thanks anyway :) Quote
haydoss Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Posted January 19, 2011 Finished putting the engine together, got it running finally :) sounds a bit like a truck just having it run through the extractors. Getting started on the supercharger sometime very soon :) Quote
