nothing wrong with a good 5k, i rekon my one will give most 100kw ge cars a run for their money

Definitely looking forward to getting the 5K in the coupe eventually once its been painted.

 

Should read something like this:

 

Toyota 5K Motor

Some Sort of Cam Regrind

Twin DHLA40 Dellorto Carbs

5K Electronic Ignition

Extractors

Sports Exhaust

 

Providing my extractors which I paid for show up. I haven't heard anything about them yet.

Nice combo should get a bit of a headwork and shave for more compression so it matches mine lol. Best bet that combo though i reckon for an early ke.

Yeah, Get the head shaved at a bare minimum for a worked N/A K motor..

Yeah that was also my plan to bump up the compression. I would like to hit the 140HP mark if at all possible.

 

Electronic Ignition rocks. Car revs out better now :D

You wish, Jellyfish! :fuzz: :D

My extractors arrived today too. Will also upload a pic of them tomorrow. They're in pretty good nick :wink:

So my extractors arrived (bit of a late update).

 

D. McKiggan was a great help in a bonnet support rod. Now contemplating flush-mount bonnet pins too for that race-look.

And the KE25 is off the road!

 

Blown head gasket is the cause. Will be getting the panl van on the road ASAP.

Not good.

 

No big drama though. Cost $44 for a head skim, plus head and manifold gaskets when the one on the ke16 went. Add 2 oil filters and 2 lots of oil, for if your sump filled with water.

 

I got an 8 litre thickshake out of the sump. Mmmm, lots of yummy goodness. :jamie:

Getting gearbox on Saturday but will eed to whip out the current gearbox tomorrow arvo if you wanna come give me a hand dude. Much appreciated.

 

Will chat to you on MSN tonight after band rehearsal :jamie:
