altezzaclub Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) If you read some of the other build questions you would see that we can't help unless we know- What are you going to do with the car?? Road, track, drift, night drags? How much extra power? How much have you got to spend? $10k will do a nice job, $3k will get you slightly faster. What can you do yourself? Can you strip and rebuild a motor yourself? Can you fabricate parts for a conversion or are you paying for everything? Diff? Gearbox? Have YOU thought about this?

altezzaclub Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Me thinks this might be a troll. I started looking up school holidays... Dave, a Boss is something you have when you start work and you're not old enough to be self-employed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozscot107203 Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm looking at just giving it some quick, cheap mods to get it back on the road with some extra horses under the hood. I'm doing most of the cleaning and rebuiding myself and I know a guy that does machining so i can get parts done Me thinks this might be a troll As to the comment about trolling. No. This is not a troll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willis Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Quick, cheap mods and a turbocharged V6 are not one in the same. There's plenty of information here on how to get more power out of a K motor. I suggest you search for it and then take the car to your mechanic.

altezzaclub Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Get the crank and the flywheel lightened, then get the whole lot balanced. Have the block sonic tested and re-bored to 80mm, replacing your 4K pistons with 5K flat-tops. While that's is away, get the cam & followers ground. Wade, Tighe, Crow... any of them. Buy side-draughts, either SUs or Weber, and port the manifold to the head, then get the head skimmed for compression. Re-assemble with extractors and a free-flow exhaust. Take a look through here. I wasn't after turbo'dV6 power... but it all works well! http://www.rollaclub...the-girls-ke70/ Edited March 21, 2012 by altezzaclub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KE-70Cruiser Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 From 130 km/h to 150 km/h with the addition of some fencing wire.... (just tune the 4K) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOM Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I believe he was referring to this: Lonely Island: Like a Boss Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
