beerhead Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Holy crap ... 10K spent on a 4K!. Someone must have very angry misses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 he has got his hand on it. quote: Estimated 150+ hp and as for 10 grand spent on it, everything would have to be gold plated. TRD bits aren't that expensive, there are a lot better cams out there than the old TRD grinds, the sump doesn't look like it's been modified for upriting. he claims TRD forged pistons 78mm, TRD never made forged pistons for 4k engines, they were just a good casting. it's worth about $3000, i'd say someone ripped him off with the machining and port work.

Mr Revhead[RL] Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 hence why we are laughing at him :unsure: the thing with TRD k series bits.... is they are no longer made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corolla_Kid Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 hahaha sucked in most 5k's on here would probly beat it anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofis Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Pft, 5k....as if. 4k all the way, ruin it....go to the wreckers and pay $40 for a new one lol! How can you beat that, and like you guys are saying, like you'd bother spending $6000 on that. 4Ks are only good when you're on a budget I say.

Super Jamie Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 it's worth about $3000, i'd say someone ripped him off with the machining and port work. i'd say it should have COST 3 grand, and is worth about $650 :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 i was being nice, :unsure: but you're right it's worth f@$k all. looking carefully at the photo, they have lifted the roof of the inlet port and then cut and welded the inlet manifold to the base plate, so the head has been flowed but you'd be hard pushed to see 150hp out of it. you could buy a standard 7k for less an $1200 and get more torque.
