Where can I get and electric dizzy and coil? Brand new, would autobarn have them? Also is it str8 Bolton or will it need minor or major modification? Cheers and sorry for hijasking your thread bro :-P

Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but I'm in the same position regarding the engine swap. I have the luxury of not being on my P plates however so:

 

I'm in the market for a ke70 and I'll have some spare cash left over, Ill use the car as a daily also. Are the benefits worth it for the cost for a 5k swap? I'm just interested in the best bang for buck :) thanks guys

4k = 1300cc, 5k = 1500cc

 

the concensus seems to be that a 5k is better than a 4k in all aspecs.

 

how much better, i guess you can take judge it on the capacity, 5k is 15% better than the 4k!

I also found the ports much better on a 5K. There's more potential if you decided to open up its breathing etc...

Well i see that haha, if it gives it a little bit more pep then sounds good to me. Id rather not spend more money on mods than the car cost to buy but maybe thats just me being naive..?

 

That being said, the 5k swap and exhaust + extractors sounds pretty worthwhile to me. Time for some reading I think...
