YLD 10S Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Hey guys, does anyone know how much of a difference a 5k will make potential wise and preformence wise? Or should I just spend the money on "beefing" up the 4k? Help always apprecitated :y: Quote
Mason. Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) from what i gather Spend the money beefing up a 5k and you'll have a zippy little run about EDIT- 5k is a much better platform to start from rather then a 4k Edited March 2, 2011 by Mason. Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 A 5k is good money spent If you putting a lot of money into a K engine, if you going to put it in and change the carby some might say its not really worth the effort and time. not much top end difference from the 4k but more torque ar the bottom!

B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Its an engine upgrade so yeah its worth it. You will get more torque and more revs. Performance wise, its still just a K motor. Quote
Evan G Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) my worked 4k keeps up with a bog stock 5k (he had a passanger aswell) 5k = no clutch kicking in the wet Edited March 2, 2011 by Evan G Quote

KEI069 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 okay, might go for a 5k then... Whats a healthy figure you can get out of them and have some fun with? I'm not after 48235028rwkw i just want a nice sounding rolla with some rain drifting power hahaha :lolcry: With some usual intake cam and exhaust mods and a little extra comp I would expect to see somewhere around 90hp at the treads Quote
YLD 10S Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Posted March 2, 2011 How much would that cost? sounds good to me Quote
Evan G Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 depends how mechanically retarded you are? your looking around the 1800 mark if a engine rebuilder has to do all the work, all you do is drop it off and tell him what you want and bend over. Quote
stable20 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 i have a 5k in my corolla. its completely stock and i can chirp 2nd gear pretty well. I'm getting extractors and webbers for it later on and probably make a straight through exhaust. but from the power output I'm getting in the wet should kick out no problems. Quote
Evan G Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 yea a bog stock 3k with a HD clutch would chirp 2nd :glare: Quote
stable20 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 whats BOG? sorry is that sounds dumb. Quote
