To Do Up 3K Or Find A 5K

[Raven]

The commerical 4K is found in the Toyota forklifts. :)

hahaha high revving forklift? hmm any idea when those were made uptil?

[philbey]

haha a high revving factory K engine! Any idea when they were ever made.

[Raven]

At a guess, late 80's, early 90's.

 

The majority are run on LPG and covered in a heap of emissions gear.

 

Might pay to try and find someone who wrecks 'em :P

Anyone know of any extractors lying around haha?

The Wanted to Buy section isn't noticeable enough. (wink wink :wink: get it up on the homepage :P) hahaha

[philbey]

Twin Carb supercharged 5k....that is all

[JordyKE]

Sooooo... what exactly are the differences between the 3K and a 5K besides the extra 300ml of cubic capacity in the 5K

I have a 3K sitting at home.... which i can build myself. Or waste my time finding and doing a 5K..

 

If i spent $400 on a 3K what do you think i'd achieve? ok go..... :wink:

$400 on a 3k wouldn't even reco the head.

 

If that's all you've got throw a cam at it and exaust.... if your lucky. The difference between 3k and 5k is the stroke and the bore.... think of it as a 253 as to a 308/3.3333r

 

A big difference but not Fast and the Furious type shit. Don't think about doing everything at once. Buy a 5k and take the time to build it.... Time is on your side.

Go the 5k, the torque is so lovely :)

 

It would have to be a really good 3k to keep up with a 5k. As an example, my father and I both had KE20 club cars. Mine was powered by a 5k with a cam, twin carbs and a few other little things. The old mans was running a 4k with a ported head, higher compression, a BIG cam (it had nothing until 4000rpm!!!) and a modified single carb. Both were running extractors and 2" systems.

 

We lined them up on an old airstrip one day while doing a motorkhana and mine walked away from the old mans. By the end of the eigth mile it would have been a car length or more in it.

 

That 5k cost me $100 to buy and probably another couple of hundred to modify :)
