radrollaz Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Hi guys i went to WSID tonight to see cuzzo race his Ke30 and i ran across this ke30 and blew my load all over his car when he opened the bonnet. I've always loved the idea of a crazy K series engine with injection and big turbo, but thought it was a little to pricey and wouldn't make enough power in the end as i want over 200kw atw out of what ever engine i used with out having to go to crazy. Anyways this car belongs to Steven from sydney, he did all the work him self as he is a fabricator its a 3k 1.2L which has been fully built and steve has created the custom plenum and injection himself aswell as all the other custom bits. I really like it as its very unique and it makes just over 200hp atw at the moment. This is for all the K series die hards as i know your out there. :D Enjoy !!! :thumbsup: Quote
HEKTIC Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 looks good mate! 200hp is IMPRESSIVE to say the least! sits and waits for simon to post! Quote
radrollaz Posted January 23, 2008 Author Report Posted January 23, 2008 looks good mate! 200hp is IMPRESSIVE to say the least! sits and waits for simon to post! Yeah i reckon thats great power for a 3k and he even showed me his dyno sheet it said 202 hp. I'm interested to see what Taz Rx and Mad Rolla reckon :thumbsup: as i didn't think a 3k would make that sort of power. He did have a big turbo though maybe t3 or bigger . :D Quote
YKE 20T Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 thats a very nice setup. its making good power for its capacity. Quote
flat out Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 what kinda internal work has it had done? why wouldn't you just bolt it onto a 5k, little bit silly for a 3k Quote
billyrock Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 i don't think swappin the motor is the point i think this guy has done it to say 'check out how awesome i am' and get the chicks Quote
dfunkt Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 3k's were the choice race engine back in the day, well, they still are for many people. that is extermely tough, the engine looks like it's caged in... Quote
NickZ Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Maybe he wants to be in a 1200cc or under class, maybe keep the car with the original motor, Makes sense to me, isnt it also a challange to make a 3k kick the ass of a 4-5-7k motor, 3k will also rev better, smaller stroke Quote
madrolla68 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) Looks the goods,not too sure how much torque it would make with the small capacity (if it still is) and i would hate to see how laggy it is with that huge T3 and long plenum runners. A Lot of effort has gone into it,what numbers did it run. Edited January 24, 2008 by madrolla68 Quote
Taz_Rx Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 (edited) A Lot of effort has gone into it,what numbers did it run. In particualr, was it quicker than a 13.7!? :cool: :thumbsup: The longer runners might help a little bit with torque would they? But yeah a T3 on a 1200!! Sure it wasn't a T25? I don't suppose you know what RPM it revved to with the 3k? Oh yeah, mmmm, speed flow!! I've recently aquired another wallet-unhealthy addiction, wate for undates in the next 2 days or so. :D Edited January 24, 2008 by Taz_Rx Quote

I've recently aquired another wallet-unhealthy addiction, wate for undates in the next 2 days or so. :D Might be T25 but LOOKS like T3 flange etc,not worried about the 13.7 Si that was done on 17 PSi and only 165 atw. Yeah the runners might edd to torque BUT they will add to lad as well. SPEEDFLOW ADDICT are we. I'm povo addict,if it works and makes power that'll do for me. PS. Injectors will be in the mail today.

radrollaz Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 I'm not to sure what numbers he ran as when i got there he was putting it on a trailer as he blew the standard diff, on the first pass . :thumbsup: Also the motor is still 1200cc capacity as he wanted to keep it a 3k but has forged internals. Turbo looked to be at least a t3. :D Quote
cuzzo Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Id imagine with 200hp and a decent launch it would do around the high 13's. Quote
flat out Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 i don't think swappin the motor is the point i think this guy has done it to say 'check out how awesome i am' and get the chicks so your pretty good mates with yourself? Quote
