f@$kin jesus, nice effort! twin webers, she musta chewed some fuel too :) i was also thinkin this would be a cool thing to do. i was actually thinking of acquiring two aisan carbs from a 2T and putting them on the sprinter twincarb manifold

 

flavours: 5k if you're in queensland, 4k if you're in nsw, cos none of us can be bothered engineering our shit :D i'd actually like to build a tough 3k. god knows i have enough parts, and a set of 040 pistons that just need rings :D

gday fellas.......:)......

 

(start offtopic post here)

my fully worked 5k is now in the car and i am proud to say that it does go f@$kEN HARD......i beat my workmates late model (early 90s) celica....along the highway i tested her out 170 in forth and umm.......it kept goin in 5th......not sure what too though....i think it was around 175 -180......its got a f@$kload of torque.....with my huge cam...should be getting the extractors fitted up next friday....4 into 1 mandrel bent....:D.

hehehehehe....what kinda head was on you 5k???

ok like seriously, someone else make a friggin ad banner for their car, get your own ideas ya bums! :)

xany: the head was a 5k head. sounds like your engine has similar work to mine. what have you done to yours???

 

jamie: yes it was cool too that i had most of the stuff lying around my shed. and the stuff that i didnt have i aquired from other motors (eg the celica pistons) and machined it all myself on the lathe at work. the work on the block i did at a mates workshop in rocklea as they have the actuall equipment to do that shit. and the idea of the 2 aisan carbs is a good one but i would use the slightly bigger 3t ones. correctly tuned it wouldnt use too much fuel. and yeah it did use a bit. but as it was in a panelvan i had extra room for fuel drums in the back eg for burnout comps/lap dashes etc. also 3ks do tend to rev better so they are good to do up. the only thing that lets them down is the capacity, but if u keep them in the lighter coupes/sedans rather than the wagons or estates they would be good. some of my 3ks youse to rev out to 9-10grand with no probs

i straightened the secondary shaft linkage right out, to get the secondary to open sooner, still giving me just the primary for cruising. f@$k she goes hard with the extra air, i can get the arse to start to step out without even clutching it :D but goddamn how's the fuel usage! no doubt the inavoidable desire to use what all the time might have something to do with that :D

 

a trip to my mates place and back (30km) and a trip to ballina and back (40km) used quarter of a tank of fuel :moon: tho i spose when you've only got a piddly little ke25 tank, its gonna go pretty quick innit

 

need to pull my finger out and rebuild my twincarbs :)

come on jamie.......its not that bad....hehehehe.....i just thought i'd make one to join in.....hehehehe.....:)

 

andrew: you can read about my 5K build up here......
