Also being a DOHC what happens to the pushrods??, or am i thinking different?

It was a custom race engine, with a Kish block.. similarities end there.

yeah the mighty 3k-r ;) i love this think, full biuld race engine can't remember what i racin it was made for will find out of me brother, it makes 180HP at 10,500 or 11,000 i think?

based on the 3K block but in saying that alot differnet, think it still has close to the same stroke and that 1166cc . Head is full custom made, 16valve, valve size well? big enough as are the ports to, I'm gessin it running some big compresstion on it too :dance: then as said before mech injection and alsorts of goodys :jamie: as for any of them being left, i think they made 5 engine in total? 2 blow up, one is in a museum, i think some one (don't know were) had one in a car and it was still running and the other well some were? hopfully not at the scrap heap :dance:

 

well thats all i know about it, di have some info on it on the all computer but i have know idea were it is know?

 

OH and yeah it is also called a 105E to, they also mate a 2Tg and 18RGamd a 3SGTE, but had no common parts. It was mainly intended to run at the US Pikes Peak Hillclimb, it makes around 900hp with methanol

 

cheers,DAN

So much fiction flying around ;)

 

From what I can see hurricane youve done nothing but regurgitate bad information and sound like you know nothing about the subject what-so-ever.

 

 

 

The engine was built to beat the Datsun Sunnys in japan that were at the time absolutley dominating their racing class. It was run in a Toyota Starlet (KP40) in late 1973-on with the car weighing in at 717kg. The engine capacity was increased to 1293cc, Nippon-denso mechanical fuel injection, slide throttles, dry sump system and the DOHC 8 valve head. The power output was 180ps @ 9500rpm with torque measuring 101lb/ft.

 

And yes they won, coming in 1st & 2nd :jamie: in the debut race

 

From what I can gather that particular engine (which would appear to be a slightly later model) is in a museum in Japan and has never been For Sale. Anyone who is trying to sell it is scamming you.
