Built 1G-GTE engine

How's it going club4ag fam, I got a 1G-GTE engine for sale with lots of goodies. If you're interested you probably already know about this thing and the potential it has. Would be a drop in swap for A Mk3 supra FWIW. Also comes with OST-049 port and polished head, there's a whole thread on here with...

Speedometer inaccuracy

What's up C4AG? I recently did a W58 swap into my blacktop Corolla and the speedo is way off, 25% approximately, ie traveling 75mph when the speedo says 100mph. So prior to the W58 I removed the gauge cluster and dialed it back as much as it would go which made the T50 perfectly accurate as the spee...

Re: Cross Plane 4AGE

This is an incredible idea. From a tuner’s perspective, as long as I could set base timing, firing order, and base firing event in degrees of crank rotation I don’t believe there would be an issue running a COP setup for this cross-plane engine. From there it would be a straightforward catalog and ...

Re: Cross Plane 4AGE

It's not just regrinding the cam, it's putting the lobes in different places, and a cast iron blank, before factory machining, just doesn't have metal where you'll need it. Get a sawsall, learn how to weld REAL WELL, cut & paste crank & cam. Ignition, I'm clueless. Only reason I said 'regri...

Agreed jondee, I can't see any particular reason to need to change much of the basic design of the components. Maybe have the cam maker machine some new gear teeth on the cam to properly indicate TDC for using the stock cam position sensor? The base engine I'm starting with is a late AE92 4AGZE with...

Re: Trying to find the best rear differential for my BEAMS AE86

Go with weirs sc/turbo axle kit, expensive but will hold way more power than what you're looking at. I have it with a Kaaz 1.5 LSD bolted to one of his chromoly gear sets and it is a very nice setup. Definitely worth the peace of mind.

Can't say for certain about the difference in duration but the early ca...
