Ryan needs a soundboard for KL build
Posted: September 10th, 2010, 5:56 pm
So, I'm planning to build a KL for my next MX.
I've already sourced the curve neck millenia manifold and TB. Cost was $120
I have freshly rebuilt DE heads from the scrap yards. Cost was $40.
I have ZE pistons on the way, cost was only around $75
I have KL01 cams.
I have a KLDE block/full motor for the base.
I'm not wanting to boost. I want a nice torquey DD, summer car only. I wouldn't mind putting down +200hp. I'd want the peak power to be ~4-7k. I wouldn't want to wander past 7k.
I don't know anything about aftermarket cams, I haven't done any research yet, but I'm open to ideas.
I wouldn't mind higher compression. The highest octane gas I can get around here is 91. Has anyone tried going 11:1 or 12:1? Does anyone know where we start moving into interference land?
Since the rods handle boost, I'd imagine I could raise the compression a fair bit without worrying about rods.
I'm a university student, so budget is a big thing for me. I don't even have the chassis for this motor yet, so obviously time isn't much of a concern.
Does anyone know if polishing the rods/crank holds any potential dangers
Does anyone know how far a DE block can be overbored before we thin them out too much?
I have the intent of getting phenos, port matching with them for the curve neck to the DE heads.
Any more suggestions for an ambitious guy with lots of time and a tiny budget?
