74coupe Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Hey guys can't afford the ca18 conversion for at least a year but still want to cruz with something and not go backwards.. Lol the 3k is a slug with the 2 speed auto.. Been offered a 5k with manual to suit and all of it, went in a ke30 that has it and goes bloody good for it stock. But will do exhaust cam and. Arby's upgrade.. But what else would be good to give her a bit of more oomph.. I know it isn't going to be a weapon but it will be a huge step up from what she is.. Even if someone is selling a turbo set up to suit or can steer me in the right direction that would be sweet.. All of it will be done right after the roady, pretty much the next day after its registered lol... But any help appreciated.. Cheers ash Quote
coln72 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 Ran a 5k with a Wade regrind (hydrolic), exhaust and 3k-b carbies on my club car. Made a big difference over the 3k :) Like 5 seconds quicker over the local autocross track. Years ago, ran a 5k in a ke35. This one also ran the 3k-b carbies but with the standard cam. It also ran the highest compression that I could run on pump fuel at the time. the standard 5k was a decent step up over the 5k, but after being worked it was sooo much better. Went from holding 100km/h up a local hill in 4th to being able to accelerate up it in 5th. Quote
74coupe Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Posted May 9, 2012 Cool as man, so u ran the carby off a 3k on the 5k motor?? And is a turbo option going to be practical for the car? And how much of a difference will it make? I'm keen as to get this done. Lol Quote
coln72 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Posted May 9, 2012 the 3k-b set up is factory twins :) see http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/12720-mytoy-ke20/ for pics of my engine. Others will have to tell you about the turbo option. Quote
74coupe Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Posted May 14, 2012 Cheers mate. I'm a noob haha.. I'm considering port n polish head, cam, extractors n exhaust, ignition system of some sort, would like some boost tho.. Tho I'm no mechanic so I don't know Quote
