October 11, 201114 yr Author comment_559552 Needs more polished comp cover. I dare you!!!(I'm getting my hks 2530 when I've got fab work done) Nice build. Surge tank hinting at EFI? Stu. P.s nice work if I lived in NZ I'd throw all my stuff your way. Hey mate. Yeah ive got a rover 200 sitting at home with a buggered g box. and the efi gear off it looks pretty easy to mod to fit a 4k. ohhhhh hks 2530 would be very nice. How much will that set you back? Thanks mate. :cool: Report
October 11, 201114 yr comment_559570 Sorry, I have the turbo I meant I'm getting the comp cover polished and I'll keep thinking about getting it chromed too, because too lazy to keep polishing it. Haha cost, I didn't actually hand over cash for it. I built a motor for a mate and he wasn't using the turbo, easy. I think they retail for like $2,700 but it is second hand I'm still yet to send it off to get checked. You'll want to make sure what ever ecu you use is boost referenced. Stu. Report

October 12, 201114 yr comment_559819 I'm in New Zealand too. I'm in Christchurch - where did you get your suspension reset, or did you do it yourself. I got a ke70 wagon I'm building at the moment. Report

I got a ke70 wagon I'm building at the moment. Hey i got my mate who is a engineer to add leaves and reset them.There should be plenty off places in Christchurch that can do it. What engine are you going to use? Tim Report
October 12, 201114 yr Author comment_559925 Ok well got my 5k running and it's not quite what i'm after. After owning a 20valve levin that went like hell. Ive purchased a ae86 4age. I'm looking at either turbo charging it or running it on carbys. Whats everyone's thoughts? Report
October 13, 201114 yr comment_559969 Keep it as what the topic name describe's Then go through the all the Build threads and compare how many Twin Turbo 5k's they are to 4age conversions. :happy: Report
October 13, 201114 yr Author comment_559991 Yeah. Not enough power though.. And wont it to be more reliable. Still gonna twin turbo my 4k though. Should be abit of fun! :dance: Report
October 13, 201114 yr comment_560005 Yea man, I'll do the transaction tonight. A turbo 4k , 5k can be reliable if tuned properly.... don't expect much change from $5000 for a 4age conversion :yes: Report
October 13, 201114 yr Author comment_560007 $5000 that's abit step. Ive seen them done for next to nothing. I can mount the for age mounts on the standard cross member. Custom make gbox mount. Only problems diff and driveshaft. What other problems do you think ill face? Report
October 13, 201114 yr comment_560023 You have to convert to hydraulic clutch, so ae71 pedalbox and clutch master, plus fuel setup, loom and ecu etc, bit of work.. Report
October 13, 201114 yr Author comment_560029 Hydro clutch shouldn't be a problem. Will just use a vl fuel pump as i have one sitting at homme. Engine came with loom and ecu. Nice car btw bud. Report
October 13, 201114 yr comment_560044 Yeah. Not enough power though.. And wont it to be more reliable. Still gonna twin turbo my 4k though. Should be abit of fun! :dance: But won't be any less reliable either. How much power do you want? Nothing better than dispatching 4age rollas with a K. Man my old 5k sc/12 setup made 100rwkw in my KE-11 which are light but still modded rexys couldn't pull away in the tight stuff. But if your boosting the 4age then I'd go for it. You already have that link ecu. Only need to decomp it buy a eBay exh mani and your away!! Oh yeah a VL pump will support about 180rwkw so you'll need a rising rate fuel on top of that too. Stu. Report
October 13, 201114 yr Author comment_560048 Got any vids of your 5k setup? Sounds cool. Yeah Will be boosting the 4age. How much are those exhaust mani's on ebay. Never real used ebay. Aiming for 150kw to start with and build it up from there. Report
