rolla-king Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 Ive got a 5k in my ke55 that is determand not to work. looking to upgrade engine to something more powerful and reliable but will slip into engine bay with min trouble. what engine would suit this? cheers Quote
philbey Posted November 10, 2009 Report Posted November 10, 2009 As far as slipping straight into a stock engine bay with minimal work required, the 5K IS the motor for you. Anything else will require much more work, engine mounts, crossmembers, gearbox, driveshaft etc etc. Quote

First of all.. drugs are bad.... 5k's are mega reliable. You can get plenty of power (probably between the range of 60-75kw at the wheels) with a worked N/A 5k and it makes it that much easier since you're not getting a conversion. However, if you want to do a conversion, 4A-GE is the way to go as it is super reliable, can produce more power, and is newer and easier to get new/aftermarket parts for as it is a performance engine. But it will cost you more :cool: Quote
