Camo88 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 i drive a 2 door ke30, still got the 3k with a side draught webber and extractors. next is exhaust when i have the money free. i don't want a huge increase in horsepower but wouldnt mind a lil more grunt :no2: would it be easier to fit a small turbo (and what size would people reccomend?) or just go to a 4k or 5k? i don't really have heaps of money, space at my house or any of the equipment for engine swap etc. so what does everyone reckon? open to constructive critisim cheers guys :dance: Quote

Camo88 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Posted August 25, 2008 yeah i wanted to go 5k intitailly but i don't have access to an engine crane and wouldnt have a clue on where to start with takin the 3k out an puttin the 5k in. would my webber and extractors fit a 5k or not? Quote
Jono Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 you don't need a crane, just a strong broomstick and some rope and two dudes. Quote

styler Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 5k swap is going to be way easier, cheaper and more reliable than turbo 3k conversion. Quote
kryton brown Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 reliabilty is the key word here.. A turbo 3k would be heaps of fun to build and play with, but if you don't have the knowledge or skills to work on it yourself when there's a problem you've lost your reliability. Thats why people will always recommend more CC's.. Quote
philbey Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Just give it a shot. Read taz's thread, slap one together, when you put a rod through the block, either put another one in and do it again or have a 4k/5k on standby to drop that in instead! Quote
Camo88 Posted August 31, 2008 Author Report Posted August 31, 2008 you don't need a crane, just a strong broomstick and some rope and two dudes. alright, havin said that I'm sure there would be a lil bit more involved... but i get the general idea. anyone know if the extractors i have on the 3k would fit a 5k?

Jono Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 well thats how we've pulled one out before. Quote
rundell Posted August 31, 2008 Report Posted August 31, 2008 haha I'm turboing my 4k its a lot of work to get it right, i think putting a 5k in would of been the better idea but hey I'm learning and be something different Quote

Yeh ive doin it on a 4k, i could offer you some help on how to do it. Currently doing mine with a blow threw carbie set up which is a pain because i have to make custom box for carby but finally got it made up. Its the same setup as taz_rx's.
