[johnny t]

hey I'm just posting my project ke 55 to get other peoples opinion on it!let me no what u think thanks johnny t :thumbsup:

[joshz18]

nice one mate, how does it go?

[johnny t]

yeah goes well for a 4k it has 65 kw at the wheels

[HEKTIC]

hey mate what other mods are you running? is it just a stock 4k-c with a blower? are you running an intercooler etc? what did it set you back?

[johnny t]

nah its far from stock its fully reconditioned 60 thou over big stick double vaulve springs port n polish..nah its not worth running an intercooler with 4 psi maybe later i wanna decompress it with like around 10psi or sumthing

[johnny t]

it set me back $550 with electric fuel pump i got it off rolla boi he had it on his 5k.. but i had to get it tuned and other tune ups wich cost me around $300 but it had to be done

[johnny t]

if anyone wants more pics or any other info just let me no and ill see what i can do..

[HEKTIC]

check your pm's Johnny T

[Rolla__Boy]

It should be running more than 4psi on a 4K dude.

 

Have you got a boost gauge?

[johnny t]

nah i don't y would it be different on a 4k??

[Rolla__Boy]

Because a 4K is a smaller capacity engine, so it will be running more boost than it did on my 5K

 

When I had it on my 4K with the boost guage on, it was running 10 psi

[jamesrolla]

i have seen your car before mate, looks coll with the rebel wheels, i wish i had some rebels, sounds like it goes allright for a 4k, is you angine fan held in by string on the front????, just looks like it is?

ive talked to rolla boy about this before, you should be getting more than 4 psi, on both the 4k ive supercharged with a SC12 i was getting 10-12 psi the the throttlebody after the blower and i get 9-10psi the the throttle body before the blower, the last setup is on a 4k with 40 thou over flat top pistons and not decompressed, only diffrence is they are both EFI and i know thats not the reason, the only other thing is maybe you guys are using bigger cams with too much overlap.

[Rolla__Boy]

I've only ever had it on dead standard engines.

 

It ran around 10 psi on 4K's, and it was 4-5 psi on the bigger 5K

[NickZ]

well then id say it was due to cam overlap. Because johnny said he has a big cam.....In his engine.

Mine have been standard cam too so 10psi.
