dashills Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 stick with the 4k for now and get off your p's then when you got experince chuck a ca18det with a 5spd and go ape ( i know it's a nissan but they go hard ) and most people put a 4a of some sort in as an upgrade Quote
bLinded_ Posted September 26, 2008 Report Posted September 26, 2008 Pretty open ended question mate. Best motor will depend on your fabrication skills, knowledge and of coarse, budget. Personally I think the best motor is a 4age. Simple conversion, reasonable power, and you can have some great fun with it if you also do some basic suspension mods. But hey, if you have an endless amount of money and time, do something stupid and put a 1uz in it or what ever floats your boat...The "best" motor is one that you are capable of putting in, handling , and being able to afford. If you want sometihing simple, put in a 5k, or even 7k if you feel a little more ambitious. but If you want more power it will cost more money etc. Best motor will basicalally be narrowed by your budget. Also, if you are on your Ps then "best" motor is a 4k. as it is the only legal motor you can drive wiht in that car... my 2c. ps: drunk as Quote
Cantox22 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 :yes: 7K engine- do you need to do the crossmember/ brakes etc? Quote
toyota_ae71 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 go 4k chuck a 32/36 weber/holley and they go farely hard!! got a movie of my ke70 (4k) with a 32/36 holley, shitty nokia quailty but you get the point! Quote
bLinded_ Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 :yes: 7K engine- do you need to do the crossmember/ brakes etc? Afaik, the 7K uses the standard crossmember, but has different mounts, and also the sump will need modding so it doesn't hit the crossmember or something. I am not 100% sure on this, but there are a few guys on here who have/had 7K's in their cars, and can probably provide the info required to fit it. I don't think that you'd have to upgrade brakes on a KE70, but it'd be something I'd look into doing. I like to follow the line "more go, more slow". KE70s have easy options for better brakes, if you have a search/use the faq, you can find out all the info you need. Quote
SLO-030 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 The 7K apparantly has thinner mounts to compensate for the wider block. so it'll bolt up to the original mounts but modding of the sump is needed to clear the crossmember or visa versa (id mod the sump personally). Quote
RainWarriorDregs Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 just keep the ol 4k. do some cam work, new carby and clean her up, they're bloody good on fuel and they have a bit of kick. atleast wait until you REALLY know how to drive to put something powerfull in it my 2c Quote
