Looking hot, this will be a very peppy 5k ;)

That's the aim, daily driver streetabilty with the aim of 100rwhp
Unlike my 4k with Tighe 140, fun to drive especially on country roads so i can go nice and fast...but bit of a pig driving to uni and work

100rwhp is very hard to achieve maintaining street drive-ability and 98 octane...as I've just worked out lol!

well, at least going to give it my best shot, i'll be plenty happy with around 85-95rwhp, but going to give it my best shot

what happened with yours lol

btw love the new profile pic...a new project i'm guessing?

I've been wondering if you guys would like me to dyno the thing once it's done

enough people wanting means I'll first dyno a stock 4k motor (which is currently in my ke70...put the warm 4k into my ke55)
Then...once the I get the damn thing broken in...maybe once I get 1000 - 5000k's on the motor I'll dyno the the new 5k

If you want me to, I'll get dyno sheets for both and will even film the dyno runs and motors first run

I finished my 4k two weeks ago and had the webers tuned on the dyno. Ended with this so far....

Thanks. It's the same project ive been working on for a while. Basically a track car that's streetable without spending crazy $$

BTW dyno graphs are encouraged. Its also satisfying to see the improvement. The above is 70% better than the motor we (mates and I) just removed.

awesome, nice work with your 4k, I'm guessing thats rear wheel horsepower

Well at least I have some Idea what to aim for

let's see how I can do with 200ish more cc and admittedly a decent bit more dosh...I'm building the thing to last

Also another development...finally got my k-50 gearbox out of the bloody shed so I can put that on...future plans are an AE86 LSD disc brake, rear axle/diff so i can put some 4.2 gears, not so much better for freeways but now I have an k-50 to make up for it a bit, I want the thing quick and nippy, but won't end up very fast but fast enough

Also doing full suspension overhaul on the car...30mm 'low' king springs, adjustable panhard rod, new SuperPro Bushings for (swaybar, LCA's, Upper and Lower Trailing arms,, panhard rod and Steering rack), Signature Swaybar 19mm, New AJPS ball joints...(Still looking for AE86 JDM struts do can do a brake upgrade), brand new exhaust system (got a sexy new MagnaFlow Muffler, 2x18' inch resonator, hurricane headers extractors...my current ones have cracked) 

I reckon you'll be giving 100kw a good crack, my estimation around 85-90. Who needs heaps of power in these cars anyway?

 I never was aiming for 100kw, I meant 100hp, I don't know why but I always prefer measuring via horsepower not Kw, true these cars don't NEED heaps of power, but if you have the opportunity there are many who would WANT heaps of power

Me I like finding a balance of power, handling and comfort (but easily sacrificial),

When the car is done, I'll be bloody stoked...also once motor is done I need to get new wheels and tyres...15x7 (+12 offset) Performance Superlites with 195/50R15 TOYO T1R tyres (never did like stretched tyres and will not suit the handling mods). Also a slight body mods...AeroKraft rear lip and Madhouse Front lip, It will look subtle (nothing extreme) but will have a nice cool factor.

somehow spelt It, with I...

I had Toyo T1rs on my s15 silvia yrs ago, great tyre. though fairly expensive compared to what you can get these days. 

The weight of a ke70 lends itself to a more performance oriented tyre as it does wear out tyres very quick. Something like a federal 595-rsr is very good and quite cheap compared to the toyo option. A 195 50 R15 595 rsr was only about 120bucks last time i looked. the toyos would be closer to 200?

Toyo T1R's can be found at reasonable costs, nothing near $200 each

anyways more parts arrived...Hurricane headers extractors...here to extract power at the speed of revs lolol

Can you please post up a pic of the hurricanes? 

Have you measured the size of the primaries?

Here are the headers...they won't be blue for long, taking them to modern plating in oakleigh to high temp stirling (chrome) coat them

I measured the primaries where it just goes from square to round, so might no be best measurement, but was 35mm with the vernier calipers
Actual listing (and assuming measured at around where my thumb is) states 38mm
Here is a link to specs

and its part no. HU077ST

Thanks John. Its a shame that most of these header supplier make uneven length 4 into 1 units for the k series. Due to the small capacity, I'm after 421 headers, same size primaries as the port.

Looks like I am going to need to get a custom set made

Yea I know what you mean, If I could find them I'd go 4-2-1 headers (I've heard they are good at scavenging or kinda put a vacuum effect to help draw out exhaust gas from cylinders), As far a I remember there was 1 person making them in Malaysia I think, I saw on the Facebook group, but can't remember the rest, but they were 4-2-1 extractors, can't remember if they were even length though
