Dell'orto Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Set of extractors, 1 3/4" exhaust and a ramflo type filter will make it rev out alot nicer. Then the 3 C's are next and thats where it gets pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Personally I wouldn't bother spending too much on a 1300.. it's just not worth it. However there is nothing wrong with sorting out some decent cold air intake, maybe fitting a bigger carb or twin carbs on it. If you can be bothered removing the gearbox a lightened flywheel will help it rev out nicer. Cams, porting, raising compression or fitting forced induction I would wait until you had a bigger engine in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark105 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 if you want a cheap engine to do something with then put like a 2 or 3t in it, almost bolt straight in and then you got a 1600 or 1800 to play with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 holden 202 valve springs to get past that vicious 7k valve bounce. not that gives more power, but if you were to really work the 4k might be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cute wee gem Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Do you have a budget, and do you want to stick to K series/your 4k or transplant another engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSC Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 put a injected 7k in it with a custom turbo set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolmotors Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 somthing tht i discovered and correct me if im wrong, I you can find an old 3k with the cast head out of the earlier models such as ke10 and ke20 these had larger ports and better cams as there was no emisions rules if you can find one of these heads get it cleaned up and put it and the cam on your engine you chould get better performance from it. I know this will sound boganish but its been common practice between my peers and i for years to just remove the air filter all together as we are just talkin about a standy as 4k and these engines are very very hardy. They also run better when they are low on oil but wouldnt trust doing this if you have a mint runner. So to conclude put on a casty 3k head and cam some extractors and freeflow exhaust and throw away the aircleaner and should be all go If you want more power than that then you will have to consider all the above suggestions.

RT Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 dunno about the heads.. but running no filter and low oil is fucking dumb man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 running no filter and low oil is fucking dumb man what he said. altho, in retrospect might be good as it will blow up and make you get a worthwile lump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolmotors Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Yes i agree it is fucking dumb but like i said if it a mint engine you wouldnt do it. as for no air filter unless you live on a dirt road it be sweet for fucks sake were talkin bout a 4k here I agree about puttin a decent eng in it I got a 2tgeu with loom and comp sittin in my shed with a turbo manifold destined to go to my mate in palme to give him spares for his 2tgeu dx 2dor wag which i fabed the mount pedistools for it will be nuts but the old 3t is usually the best way to go as you can source bolt in parts to fit it without welding or modifying .

Mike-e Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 for the tiny increase in performance, if you notice it at all apart from the extra induction noise, compared to how fucked you are if you get a stone or something in your motor, leave your air filters on and intentionally running low on oil is just retarded.

oldschoolmotors Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah yeah leave your air filter on anyways what the chances of a stone landing in your carby jeez. I had a srew fall in the no 1 inlet port(with air filter on) on an old 3k casty so whipped the head of removed the screw an bolted the head back down and walla mint as!!!!! what else are you ment to do in the middle of nowhere Its seems that not many people have thrashed the shit out of the old k series engines to know how hardy they are shiiiiit at the end of the day if your k eng dies man its only a k. my old 2k could handle handle running at top revs all day and man tht was a shitta eng they just go an go an go and say no more.

avenger79 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 ^^ I got though the first line then gave up reading,try some of that punctuation stuff.It's magic. So dust and bugs isn't doing any harm to an un-filtered engine??? Nice. Cheers for the 'advice'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
