--Tommo-- Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Hey everyone, I am in the process of fully rebuilding my 74 Ke20. It has the stock 3K engine in it, well i pulled it out last week, and the original 4 speed box in it. I got a manifold for a twin weber carb and a twin weber card for it. Any suggestions for a cheap power fix until i can afford for sr20DET conversion? Quote
Felix Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 skim the head, clean up the ports yourself, fit a 260 degree reground cam and extractors. Quote
Brendo Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 yeah what he said! haha my 3k owns the shit out of a stock 20v 4age but of sourse big $$$ Quote
--Tommo-- Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 yeah thats kinda down the lines of what i was thinkin..should last me a while like that thanks Quote
johnny t Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 hey mate is it really worth doin up a 3k cause when u need the money for the sr20 i just spent like $1200 on recoditioning my 4k like big stik port polish double vaulve spring and bored 60 thou it doesnt go all that well i was fairly dissapointed and sorta wished i spent it on sumthing bigger.. but yeah it goes alot beta than a stocker but nuthing to spesh but yeah i just thought id tell ya johnny t Quote
--Tommo-- Posted June 15, 2006 Author Report Posted June 15, 2006 yeah i know what you mean johnny but i jus don't have the money and i have no other car...I just want somethin that runs for now..i have only spent 600 on the WHOLE car so far..i think i am gonna stick with the weber carb and extractors for a few months..

johnny t Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 yeah but just aslong as ur car goes n is reliable untill u get more $$$ to get a bigger engine!! but yeah up 2 u man good luck with ya plans man :jealous: Quote
Felix Posted June 16, 2006 Report Posted June 16, 2006 you could do the stuff i listed for $200-300 if you already have extractors. that is providing the engine is mechanically sound. Quote
Falken_KE30 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Why don't you turbo it?.. Taz RX on this forum has, and has little proble,s with it, and it runs well. I'm going down that path with my stock 3k in my KE30 rolla., Then probably build a strong 4k or 5k doing most of the work myself. Quote
--Tommo-- Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Posted June 18, 2006 yeah well i have a turbo manifold and everything off another rolla but the engine in the other one didn't last long. And, like i sais, i don't want to spend the big bucks on this engine cuz i'll need that money later.. Your idea sounds like a good one felix. I don't have extractors tho..does anyone have a set they're willing to part with? Quote
