Hey guys i bought an 82 ke70 last week.

the car came with the standard 4kc motor

and 4 speed manual box. when i got the car

it had s13 coilovers on front and cut springs

on the rear. also came with s13 front brake

setup and had the diff welded wich i have since

blown. so i was wondering what diff i could

put into the car that wouldnt crap itself

aftter a little beating and would go straight in, also if anyone

knows any easy and cheap ways to get better

power from this massive 1.3l engine cheers?

IF you blew a borgy with your 4kc i suggest you sell your car and hand your license in.

what diff i could put into the car that wouldnt crap itself aftter a little beating

Not easily... Locked diffs are hopeless anyway, if you're going to spend money on another diff get something that will take an LSD. Sadly AE86 gear is the answer and EVERYONE wants it.

Easy- cam, carbs, head job, exhaust... all easy to find and not expensive.

Or look into a T series from a te72/ t18. All you need is rear half of the tailshaft and the handbrake cables for it to work + it takes LSD centres when you want to head down that road.

However, the ke70 diffs rarely blow with the standard 4kc. Has it maybe just had a crappy weld job and its popped the welds?

i read some were on here that a 2& a 1/2" exhaust is too big on a 4K, whats your opinion on this, because I'm in the prosess on installing one ,

2" maximum.

yeah- poor little 1300 doesn't need much at all. If its not a racecar you never even fill 2" really, I start at 2" and go to 1& 3/4" after the resonator.
