turbo_rolla Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Good work mate! Let us know how you go with the install :dance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KE-JG Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 For a good daily driver at low cost I sure like my set up in a KE70. Just a 5K with a 20-60 cam, same old carb, same exhaust. Still has good pulling power at the low end for traffic, and good economy - 12km/litre. But when you need to get up and go, it really winds from 60 to 100km in third - great for hills and getting onto the freeway! Cost $120 for the cam (Tighe), no changes needed to the lifters or rocker gear, and a really good improvement on the stock 5K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xany Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I mean will my 4K manifolds fit on my 5K? yes. normally K engine stuff is interchangable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolla__Boy Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 I have all the 4K stuff on my 5K, manifolds, carby (actually it's a 3K carby) etc....Looks like I will be able to get away without having to sell my 5K now :hmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch13 Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks for that. I thought all of it could go on all the K engines but just wanted to double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbo_rolla Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hmmmmmm, all this talk of 5k's has got me back thinking i want one :hmm: might pop back down to the wrecker on the weekend armed with my "how to spot a 5k" knowledge and see how we go :y: I've got a 32/36 so if i do get a 5k i'll wack that on and get it jetted to suit i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
