In a smaller car you wil notice a bigger difference, what do you drive? Cam it up, and a nice carby too. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 If the 4K is in reasonable condition I would definately swap it....I've always noticed a huge amount of difference between the 3K and the 4K. Considering how relatively easy it is to swap a K engine (depending on skill level) I'd say it's definately worth the upgrade Quote
cut03 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Report Posted January 12, 2008 i drive a ke30. you wouldnt expect such an upgrade from such a small difference, but yor guys just gave me the encouragement to do it. Quote
Rolla__Boy Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 When you do the maths, it's actually quite a substantial increase in capacity. Plus then you can tell everyone you have the bigblock corolla engine 8/ Quote
coln72 Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Did this to a girlfriends KE20 and thought it was a backwards move............. until the big cam, worked head etc went on. Then it was 8/ Quote
cut03 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Posted January 15, 2008 the big block is a good reason to do the engine swap except people will still laugh at me. lol. coln72 why was it a backwards move? Quote
coln72 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 It was guttless, wouldn't rev properly. The cam really woke it up though...... Quote
ScottKE1X Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 do it. chuck the 4k in, put you're 3k head on it. all in a days work. good fun. Quote
