[brendan]

hi

me and a mate both have ke's

 

i have a 70 with a 5k wich has flat top pistons stage 2 cam ported inlet on the head and decked for comp,with twin 40's(sidedraughts)with extractors and a 2inch system right through

 

and my mate has a ke55 coupe with a 4k wich has a stage 2 cam ported inlet and exuast decked for comp,with a single down draught webber with extractors and a 2inch system right through

 

the question is whos ke would you think would be quiker?

Considering both motors have pretty much the same sort of mods the 5k should be more powerful than the 4k just because of its bigger capacity.

 

Saying that though a ke70 would be a little bit heavier than a ke55 so you might find the that performance of each CAR is very similar.

 

Let us know the outcome in 3 months I suppose! ;)

sure will can't wait .i just orded a gilmer drive kit from endevor enginnering in nz

though now i have to look for a thermo fan cause i don't think the stock fan will go onto the gilmer

This is exactly why the 0/100 k would have been interesting, everyone could have checked their performance without being a pest on the roads

[seabiscuit]

I say yours will win, Brendan! ;)

Would have been a good "database" of the quickest Rolla's around and for those looking to compare.

EDIT: And inspiration for people to get their cars on the road :lol:

The problem with that would be it will spawn an even bigger discussion about illegal stuff.

i know that but how can it be illegal to accelerate up to the posted limit, or is that illegal now to

Just let it die, mate.

 

We gave it a shot and it was proven people start bragging about illegal stuff. The discussion does not end at 100klm/hr.

 

There is a section for 1/4 mile times, thats a far superior way to asses speed, so make do with that. Its also off the road so you can go as fast as you want. I think you will find that if a police officer sees you shifting on the limiter for max acceleration even below 100, he would give you a ticket anyhow. Its a no win for us. If you want rollaclub to remain unmolested by the authorities, just let it go.

I have been pulled over before for unnecessary revving of my car because I put my foot into it when I took off.

gilmer drive hey, make sure it's nice and tight, the more louder it is the more power you'll net from it.....

[KENut]

Bad idea to make it real tight. Sure it'll make more noise, but you'll stuff your water pump bearings real quick. Positive engagement, so making it tighter wont help it transmit more power.

Give your sarcasm meter a knock, I think it's on the blink.

I've got an endevour gilmer kit (thats my engine bay in there trademe add) and I can tell you they will still allow the use of a stock engine fan, they were designed to do so.

[philbey]

haha, yeh I was just taking the piss. Toothed belt drives are the most efficient belt drive there is but only if they're tensioned to spec. Overtension them and it becomes a pointless exercise.
