158kw4k Posted October 11, 2011 Author Report Posted October 11, 2011 Needs more polished comp cover. I dare you!!!(I'm getting my hks 2530 when I've got fab work done) Nice build. Surge tank hinting at EFI? Stu. P.s nice work if I lived in NZ I'd throw all my stuff your way. Hey mate. Yeah ive got a rover 200 sitting at home with a buggered g box. and the efi gear off it looks pretty easy to mod to fit a 4k. ohhhhh hks 2530 would be very nice. How much will that set you back? Thanks mate. :cool: Quote
kickn5k Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Sorry, I have the turbo I meant I'm getting the comp cover polished and I'll keep thinking about getting it chromed too, because too lazy to keep polishing it. Haha cost, I didn't actually hand over cash for it. I built a motor for a mate and he wasn't using the turbo, easy. I think they retail for like $2,700 but it is second hand I'm still yet to send it off to get checked. You'll want to make sure what ever ecu you use is boost referenced. Stu. Quote

Stu. yeah i have a link g3 that used to be in my skyline that should do the trick. Quote
cerexman1 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I'm in New Zealand too. I'm in Christchurch - where did you get your suspension reset, or did you do it yourself. I got a ke70 wagon I'm building at the moment. Quote

What engine are you going to use? Tim Quote
158kw4k Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Posted October 12, 2011 Ok well got my 5k running and it's not quite what i'm after. After owning a 20valve levin that went like hell. Ive purchased a ae86 4age. I'm looking at either turbo charging it or running it on carbys. Whats everyone's thoughts? Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Keep it as what the topic name describe's Then go through the all the Build threads and compare how many Twin Turbo 5k's they are to 4age conversions. :happy: Quote
158kw4k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah. Not enough power though.. And wont it to be more reliable. Still gonna twin turbo my 4k though. Should be abit of fun! :dance: Quote
158kw4k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 Do you still want extractors spencer? Quote
Spencer[RL] Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Yea man, I'll do the transaction tonight. A turbo 4k , 5k can be reliable if tuned properly.... don't expect much change from $5000 for a 4age conversion :yes: Quote
158kw4k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 $5000 that's abit step. Ive seen them done for next to nothing. I can mount the for age mounts on the standard cross member. Custom make gbox mount. Only problems diff and driveshaft. What other problems do you think ill face? Quote
Jono.C Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 You have to convert to hydraulic clutch, so ae71 pedalbox and clutch master, plus fuel setup, loom and ecu etc, bit of work.. Quote
158kw4k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 Hydro clutch shouldn't be a problem. Will just use a vl fuel pump as i have one sitting at homme. Engine came with loom and ecu. Nice car btw bud. Quote
kickn5k Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Yeah. Not enough power though.. And wont it to be more reliable. Still gonna twin turbo my 4k though. Should be abit of fun! :dance: But won't be any less reliable either. How much power do you want? Nothing better than dispatching 4age rollas with a K. Man my old 5k sc/12 setup made 100rwkw in my KE-11 which are light but still modded rexys couldn't pull away in the tight stuff. But if your boosting the 4age then I'd go for it. You already have that link ecu. Only need to decomp it buy a eBay exh mani and your away!! Oh yeah a VL pump will support about 180rwkw so you'll need a rising rate fuel on top of that too. Stu.

158kw4k Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Posted October 13, 2011 Got any vids of your 5k setup? Sounds cool. Yeah Will be boosting the 4age. How much are those exhaust mani's on ebay. Never real used ebay. Aiming for 150kw to start with and build it up from there. Quote
