What is the fastest 0-400 you have seen a 4k-5k run?

[ke25sr]

My mates starlet done a 16.5 on pump gas.

I think that was a damn good effort.

Highly messed with engine 4k block sitting in a kp60 bug eye.
2 35 mm dellorto carbs. 8500 rev limit.

[Dell'Orto]

In NZ it'd be in the 14's. Aussie they have ones doing 13's

That i would love to see. they would Have to be Turbo.

[Lloyd]

They're the best kind

Great thing about K series is you can stick something like a T25 on it, and it makes the turbo look like a T77 or GT51R

[Lith]

T77??

14.5 is fair hauling on a 4k - that'd be hilarous fun. Whats the fastest time a NA 4AGE Corolla has done in NZ?

[Adamal]

Whoops, mindslip, T78

Can you imagine lining up next to a DA6 or AE101 20v, and beating them in a 4K powered Starlet?

[Jebus]

I would go as far to say that a 13 N/A is definately possible if the people in the know cared about drag racing. i.e Sheldon from Club-K had a 14.55 second Group A 4K that still runs a standard carb....If he was to build an all out motor with sidies in a starlet and put it on a drag strip. Instant 13's.

To put it in perspective. Brad (16valvestyle) who is now in japan had a stripped starlet, with literially nothing more than a rebuilt bluetop, reground cams and 40mm carbs, locked diff. And he ran 13.7 all day long at meremere. Theres no reason why an all out K series cant match that power.

Also on another note, in aussie theres a chick with a KE10 that has a Turbo 5K with 156kw ATW @ 24psi, pretty sure it ran a 12 or close to it.

[Mr Revhead]

K cars helped by being damn light!
a 14 is damn impressive though


oh and this is definitly not off topic so i moved it

[blackie]

hahaha, 14.5 in a 4k.. awesome..
what did it trap at?

im sorry i dont have that info.

Any 1 in dunedin will have seen it or heard it.

Was built at Graham page engine recon.

[16valvestyle]

yeah my car ran 13.7s as jebus said, pretty much stock 4age just a few important mods and gut the hell out of the car, im sure you could get a k series to run 14s even 13s but for the coin youd have a 4age running alot quiker, a K series that quick would be awesome though!! would need some big rpm

[ke25sr]

the mighty wee 4K is now in peices.
Was running 245 psi compression at cranking speed.
It got a mouth full of water. Bent all 4 rods broke center main cap.
Suspected twisted crank.
Cracked piston & Scored the bore badly.

The starlet will now get a 4AGE.



As for the good 4k parts im not sure wht he will do with them.

[Dell'Orto]

Could be keen if he wants to flick the head.

What would you offer?

35mm flowed polished ports, the combustion chambers have been messed with, i think about 120 - 140 thou shaved off it, new valves and seats with some fancy cut in them, double valve springs, new rocker gear, all castings cleaned, new K lines, The list gos on and on...

[Dell'Orto]

Would wanna see pics of the porting etc. 35 is probably a little bigger than I want

see what i can do.

ports were matched to carbs.

[Blown5k]

My new n/a 5k will do 13s no probs.
