Re: Stock 4age build advice needed

I was thinking of using a gtir pulsar plenum top over the itbs.

Also looking at the cast top mount manifold, any thoughts with these set-ups?

Many Thanks

Best Option?

I currently have a large port running on ae101 itbs. Now if I wanted to keep it NA, would it be best to stick some small port Pistons in? Or drop a full silvertop engine in?

Still might go 7age, as I've just got a 7afe engine for next to nothing. Any ideas would be fantastic.

Gents,

I want a shallower sump as I'm struggling for clearance. How much could I shave off? Or does anyone sell something like this? Any points/advice or photos would be fantastic

Hiding Ignition Leads

Gents, Ive seen on ebay a cover over the Ignition leads between the cam covers (16V). I've got a bigport and was wondering what leads I need to achieve this look? This is probably a stupid question, but i had to ask. If any one has this setup, would you mind posting a photo so i can see the finished...

Keeping 1600 with a 7afe block

Just a quick question to ask if any one has increased the rod size in a 7afe block to keep the engine in the 1600 class? Was just talking about the possibility this week, opening out the question.

Re: Would this kit work on a stock 4age?

Yes, its going into a mk2 Cortina, looks like the bay will be big enough.

I have been reading that the T2 turbo might be better stock, and then find a suitable manifold to match.

Thanks for your help

4AGZTE

Gents,

Just seen the videos online of this set-up. Anyone running this kind of power, and if so does it make the difference?

Love the engineering angle..

Many Thanks

Re: Any info on these pistons?

If they were standard bore, what compression would we be looking at?

Re: Ideas Please.....

As discribed, for a solid street 7age. Which cams do you recommend? Also, if i change the cams, pistons and rods, what return would I expect to see(bhp)?

Would it be best to stay on S/T itbs?

Ideas Please.....

Hello There, I have just gone against the grain over this side of the pond and put a 4age 16 (largeport) into my mk2 Ford Cortina, an idea that is either going to make or break the purists. But before she even turns over in anger, I’m looking at what to do next, so I thought I’d open the idea to the...
