The commerical 4K is found in the Toyota forklifts. :)

hahaha high revving forklift? hmm any idea when those were made uptil?

haha a high revving factory K engine! Any idea when they were ever made.

At a guess, late 80's, early 90's.

 

The majority are run on LPG and covered in a heap of emissions gear.

 

Might pay to try and find someone who wrecks 'em :P

Anyone know of any extractors lying around haha?

The Wanted to Buy section isn't noticeable enough. (wink wink :wink: get it up on the homepage :P) hahaha

there was a set on ebay the other day.

Yeah i think they were in SA, and he wasn't keen to post. If we are talking about the same ones..

go the 5k

Love the torque

Twin Carb supercharged 5k....that is all

Sooooo... what exactly are the differences between the 3K and a 5K besides the extra 300ml of cubic capacity in the 5K

I have a 3K sitting at home.... which i can build myself. Or waste my time finding and doing a 5K..

 

If i spent $400 on a 3K what do you think i'd achieve? ok go..... :wink:

$400 on a 3k wouldn't even reco the head.

 

If that's all you've got throw a cam at it and exaust.... if your lucky. The difference between 3k and 5k is the stroke and the bore.... think of it as a 253 as to a 308/3.3333r

 

A big difference but not Fast and the Furious type shit. Don't think about doing everything at once. Buy a 5k and take the time to build it.... Time is on your side.

Go the 5k, the torque is so lovely :)

 

It would have to be a really good 3k to keep up with a 5k. As an example, my father and I both had KE20 club cars. Mine was powered by a 5k with a cam, twin carbs and a few other little things. The old mans was running a 4k with a ported head, higher compression, a BIG cam (it had nothing until 4000rpm!!!) and a modified single carb. Both were running extractors and 2" systems.

 

We lined them up on an old airstrip one day while doing a motorkhana and mine walked away from the old mans. By the end of the eigth mile it would have been a car length or more in it.

 

That 5k cost me $100 to buy and probably another couple of hundred to modify :)

Go the 5k....much better noise.....
