1nzfe + ke70

its in a toyota Xb van sooo no.

oh and one other important fact, i only have to run 91 pulp! try doing that with a 4ag!

I gotta agree with caibs, just not worth it for the return. If you want something different drop in a 7K.

i havn't seen a 7k go for under $900 here in AUS.

[caibs]

i do class 10L/100k as sniff of an oily rag yeah..
i've owned about 5 3k's, 4k's and a 5k none of them would go over 10l/100 so i was pretty happy with that
when my ke55 still had the gze in it, i still think that was great on fuel (although half the time it was off the road with smashed diffs haha)

i guess in my oppinions on fuel usage are a bit different to yours. i class a 465vac sec as heavy on fuel but i dunno i get enjoyment out of it but your right its not practical to drive every day.


however, back on subject, if you're handy with a welder you'll definately cut down your costs ay, but there will still be a few things that will add up.


if you can manage to get a bellhousing adaptor made up cheaply & then manage to mount the motor in the right position so that you dont have to get your tailshaft shortened that'll save a bunch. considering you can do most of the work yourself its definately feasible. anywho i'll keep an eye on the project & it will be interesting to hear your oppinions when its done.

good luck champ

FWIW in a car club economy run, by driving a KE20 with a 3K really carefully I got 55mpg. That's something like 5.1 l/100km.

Maybe, but you can then sell your T50 and driveshaft and just use the K series stuff. All you need is slightly modded sump and engine mounts so a very quick and basically free conversion if you can do the work yourself. Carby version would have you mobile in probably a weekend.

a 7k would have likely been my second choice anyway so we'll see how it goes, it all depends on price i guess

[briney]

what about a 7k-e ? i think that's what it was. efi 1.8 kmotor from a liteace. or what about using a camira delco to efi the 3k ? wouldn't be too hard. ihave seen 2L camiras give 35-odd mpg between head gasket replacements.

had a look at one yesterday,
the starter motor is on the passenger side which is good.
i can shift the alternator to the drivers side in place of the power-steering pump which means i can then chop/reverse (or whatever) the inlet to face the front.

things are looking a little better

[Killswitch]

my 4K in my KE70 regularly gets 8.5L/100k, has got as low as 7.5~L and thats it being flogged everywhere so I can't see why a healthy 4K wouldn't return lower?

[japlish]

i may have to re-do my first Q. the missus doesn't want a totally gutless car,lol.

i read somewhere that theres a TRD supercharger kit for this motor... could be the way to go, you going to have to make a new intake anyway, might as well put a supercharger that you can turn on and off in as well.

keep the fuel econ. and when powers needed turn it on to zip up the mt. range.

i don't need anymore convincing! bad monkey!!.......lol.

[Johnzoku]

lol its jsut such a good idea thats all

radness!

[ill-minded]

theres a best motoring episode where a particular tuning garage supercharged a 1nz-fe in a vitz (echo) and all the reviewers who drove it said it was pretty good.

unfortunately, the clip of it doesn't appear to be on youtube... oh well

supercharger FTW!

[stahlz_ae86]

I'm very interested to see how this goes.
