purple_67 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I was wondering what is the difference between a 4k an a 4k-c, is it to do with the emmission controls i realise it may be a stupid question but i don't know alot about the k series. I'm wanting to know cause i have a 4k and I'm able to get a 4k-c engine manual. any help would be geart cheers Quote
WinKE55 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 I thought the difference was with the carbies? Though I could be wrong. Quote
78_7kRolla Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 (edited) The 'c' simply designates the type of injection, which happens to be carburettor. If you happened to have, say a 7k-e, this means it has electronic injection. The same goes for all the old school Toyota motors (well most of them). There are other letters that mean other things such as 'g' 'f' and 'z'. Matt. Edited March 10, 2008 by 78_7kRolla Quote

Hiro Protagonist Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 The 'c' simply designates the type of injection, which happens to be carburettor.

There are other letters that mean other things such as 'g' 'f' and 'z'. Matt. Not exactly true. The C stands for California emissions package, it is just a coincidence that no EFI cars were labelled with the C (mainly because emissions control changes so much with EFI). 3K-B, 3K-H, 2TG, 18RG etc are all carby, but don't have the -C package. The Japanese emissions package lasted into the EFI labelling era, and was given the U designation, ie 18RGEU, 2TGEU, 4AGELU etc Quote
Medicine_Man Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 You will notice the 4K-C has all the emissions crap on it, Whereas the 4K doesn't.. Quote

WinKE55 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 While we are on this subject. 4k-C and 4K engine have similiar engine numbers too wont they? Like with the 4K engine, it has 4K then XXXXXX of numbers, does a 4K-C have the engine number the same or with an added C? Sorry if I am stealing your thread buddy.. Quote
Des Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 A ke70 with a 4kc will just say 4k then the numbers. Quote
Medicine_Man Posted March 10, 2008 Report Posted March 10, 2008 pretty sure it will be 4Kxxxxx or 4KCxxxxx Quote
