mighty_4k

Hey guys ending up figuring out my dizzy is a points dizzy brought a gt40r coil and it works perfectly engines definitely getting more spark now :cool: Thank you for your help.

Thanks for your responses guys. I would like to keep my current dizzy to be honest just don't really see the point of changing it when its working perfectly fine and my 4ku has done low ks so it should be sweet for some time yet. I thought it was a given that I had a points dizzy but after rianwest's comment I'm not really not sure anymore. How can I tell what dizzy I have for sure? Some info I can provide is car is 82 ke70, original 4ku not touched at all until I got my hands on it lol. We had to fiddle around with the dizzy a lot finally after a long time we managed to get it pin-point perfect and the 4k fired up.

Hey guys finally got my 4ku running this week after several months of work on the engine headwork, cam, sidedrafts etc. My mechanic reckons my factory coil pack just isn't upto it and not sparking enough for the engine so I'm after a new 1. What do you guys recommend I upgrade to? I heard bosch is good but I have no idea what model would be good for my engine. How hard is it to hook up the coil can we do it in my backyard lol or will I have to take it to an auto electrician? Oh yeah I have a points dizzy or at least I'm 99% sure I do lol, thanks guys.

Your right they do look nice just have a good look on google you might be able to find someone that sends them to oz or maybe contact diamondracing and see if they will send a set to oz shipping wont be cheap at all tho u'll end up paying just as much if not more for shipping than for the wheels themselves >|

Had to remove air-con from my ke70 a few weeks ago. I will be running sidedrafts and there wasn't enough room with air-con we just pulled it out at the firewall. Thing is one of my sidedraft filters will be almost directly under where we pulled in out from I'm a bit concerned that air-con gas/fluid stuff will drip all over and wrecking my brand new filter. Is this a possibility? If so what can I do to prevent it? Thanks

I'm not sure mate I was told that their different Redline being the better of the 2? Here's a link to the Lynx kit what do you guys think of it does it have everything that's needed? lynx dhla kit

The only place I can find redline kits here in New Zealand charge bout $250AU which is bloody expensive is you ask me hence the reason I'm looking for an alternative. What retailers in aussie sell redline kits and how much are they? Sounds like you guys are getting a much better deal on them than me! I'm willing to import some from across the ditch if their decently priced enough. Anyone have experience with Lynx linkage kits? Theres someone here the sells them for a lot cheaper than redline kits but Ive been told that they aren't great quality and apparently don't even have everything you need so you still have to buy/make up extra stuff to make them work.

If your planning on revving out to something crazy like 9000rpms definatley go with duals mate.

Brought some springs from by local cam shop for my 4k stated that they were for a12 datson fitted my 4k perfectly just singles as I thought doubles was a waste of money not like I'm planing on revving out to 9000rpm or anything lol.

Anyone?

Hey guys will be putting twin Dhla sidies on my 4k soon :) Just one thing I still have to figure out and that is setting up linkages for them. I know you can buy linkage kits but I'm not too interested in them to be honest especially with how expensive they are! I'm interested in making a cable linkage setup. Ive been told you can use a few parts out of a factory carb and a few other bits and pieces and you can make up your own linkages. Problem is other than that I don't have any info on making my own linkages. Has anyone on here made their own linkages? If so what parts did you use and how did you go about setting it up? Pics would be a great help, thanks guys.

I got 15x8 0 offset on my ke70 with lowering springs all round and shorter shocks in the rear. Tyres rub on rear guards but thats only with the guards quickly bashed out I haven't got around to doing them properly but will be similar to the tech article you mentioned once done. Fronts OK at the moment but will need to come lower as I still have to make the front springs captive. Guards will have to come out quite a bit but I shouldn't have an issue once their done hope this helps.

Thanks guys set my timing chain up today on the standard marks. To save myself from starting a new thread how long would I have to run my engine in for before its safe for the dyno? I got my cam ground, headwork done, sidedraft carbs and a new clutch which has been used on a different k-series before but only for 1000kms. Haven't touched anything else like pistons, rings, bearings etc. Also my cam sheet says that I should let my 4k idle at 2000rpms for the first 60minutes is this more than necessary? As I being told 30 minutes would be efficient enough, thanks.

Thanks Philby, someone told me that I would have to set the timing marks differently I just assumed he meant the cam-crank sprocket timing but what you said about the Ignition timing makes a lot more sense to me. On that note isn't that one of the things they would sort out on the dyno when I take it in to them? Otherwise what am I spending my hard earned cash on? Also on my cam sheet it says for best results time intake valve fully open 105° degrees ATDC. I have no idea what the hell that means lol.

Hey guys will be putting my 4k and my newly ground cam back together over the weekend hopefully. Could someone please tell me how to set up the cam properly? Appertaley your not ment to put them on the standard marks like you would normally would with a standard cam, thanks.
