ke30kb Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hey Guys, I currently have a 1976 Ke30 Corolla with a 4K, I'm wanting to spend a little bit of money but not too much to get some more power to it. If someone could give me an idea of a starting point as I have no idea where I should even begin that would be great. Maybe even if someone lists everything I should do that's worth it, I'd greatly appreciate it. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crostek Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 How much is a “little money” are you looking to spend? Are you going to pulling it out and change cam, new pistons some port work or just some bolt on bits to get a little more fun from it. Most 4k's suffer from restrictive air/fuel into the motor and exhaust out of the motor So a good cheap starting point would be a set of extractors with a 1 and 3/4 inch exhaust system (not good for a fully worked engine 2" would be better) A down draft Webber and decent air cleaner, and change the distributor to electronic one from a Liteace motor to give better spark and no more “points” problems The above list set me back $800 and my KE70’s rwhp from 41 to 62 (motor is also quite fresh only done 20,000km) I could get a lot more if I change the cam, have the head porting on both the intake & exhaust done, and I can still use the same weber and exhaust I have already invested in. But as the car is my daily I can’t do with it off the road for that long to get the motor out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Or you could dig up a 5k and enjoy all the extra torque ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
