    Default wanna get some more power out of a 4k

    dont laugh. but i just wanna get a bit more power out of it while i am learning to skid and i figure it would be better learning (fucking up) how to play with a motor on a motor i dont care about.
    any help would be great

    Take the air filter out, remove the emissions, crank the timing up a bit. Check The points, Gap, Plugs etc.

    no filter is win

    do it


    fill your washer bottle full of nitro RC car fuel and run the pipe into the top of the carby then proceed to hook a switch to run it to under your accel pedal so it swiches on full thottle


    then it will be win

    bit of both i think
    before you do anythign ensure your engine is well maintained, motors love new oil, new air and fuel filters, nice spark plugs and well adjusted points. once you have that sorted you can procede in making it a bit more fun.

    K motors are great to play with as they are cheap and indestructable.

    first off you can put a 3k carby on a 4k and its exact the same cept for no emissions (extra random pipes doin bugger all) and it makes everything look neat.

    if your up for new stuff though....

    i had quite good success in getting a nikki carby for my 4k. get them off old mazda (rwd 929s i belive) or old fords had them too? it allowed the engine to breath substantially better, gave it a nice hektic induction not as well! just make sure you get them jetted for 1.3L first.

    the stocko carby is the main downfloor in the k motors i belive.

    nikki carby can be had for cheap as.

    next woudl be the exhaust, absolute apauling the stocko exhaust. pick up some nice extractors for cheap (seen them for like 100) and get a better ehxuast made, 1.75"-2" i reckon be the way to go.

    then if your keen get your head off and get it shaved! high compression! but not to much.

    then its cam time, ive heard you can get a nice cam for a few hundred bucks, chuck it in, adjust the tappets and your off.

    then you can get some electronic ignition off a newer K motor i belive, search around rollaclub about that, not sure of the gains, strong spark is always good.

    thats about as far as i woudl go with a k motor, but some guys get twin side draft carbys but that can get exxy. they do go pretty well with them though...

    note: this info is a guide only, use rollaclub and its excelent FAQ section to get the details.

    good luck

    note: dont listen to these clowns telling you to run no filter, there are no gains to be had except for screwing your engine faster.
