With a blow through set up does the whole carby need to be enclosed or can you just enclose the face where the inlets to the carby are? Just doing my research and people seem to think draw through isnt any where near as good as blow through, any thoughts? Thanks

Thanks again for the advice guys, I think I'm going to do a draw through set up but I'm unsure where I can get a carbon sealed turbo from, silly question but can u just put carbon seals in any old turbo or does it need to be a particular turbo thanks

Thanks for the advice, alot of content in your threads. I found out that the carb is a 45 DCOE Weber side draft, has anyone used this carby in a turbo set up on a K motor? Would it be too difficult to to fit the turbo in the engine bay because it is non cross flow and the carby is there? Also does the 3k big port have a larger inlet then the 5k and would it be because it has a mild cam would that head be better to use then the stock 5k head Thanks again!

I've always loved the Ke70 and when one was presented to me i snapped it up in a heartbeat! It is a 1982 Toyota corolla Ke70 Flat front, when i got the car it was a bit of a mess. It had obviously been trashed because driving this thing you thought the car was gonna fall apart! After buying a second donor KE i began swapping the crap out! The diff was noisy and leaking, the subframe was bent! The springs in the rear had been chopped severely, and the list goes on. After months of messing around i have finally got it driving well. The motor is a 5k, with a 40mm weber carb, electronic ignition, electri. Fuel pump, extractors and a 2inch exhaust. The car is alot of fun but I'm wanting more from the motor! I recently aquired a 3k( unsure if its a small or big port) with a mild cam and a single weber carb. I've read all the 5k builds and can't seem to find as much info as i would like. I don't want to put a 4age or ca18 or sr20 in the car, i love the simplicity to the K series motors! Ideally id like to turbo charge the 5k(ive seen to many with a SC14) i have a small turbo from a corolla 7afe and a 5k manifold that i could modify, Can anyone give me some advice on draw through and blow through turbo set up's, is it possible to still use the carb i have? Or would i be better to use the 3k? Can the 3k head bolt on a 5k?(unsure if it has dished pistons or not) And if the heads are not interchangeable, would the mild cam be interchangeable? I am not a mechanic hence why I'm asking for advice, i don't want smart ass replies like "Just put a 4AGZE in and be done with it" This is my daily driver so taking it off the road for too long wont work for me, Thanks!
