can you post a picture of
- Late bigport (redtop) distributor

I will take pictures tonight and post them.
Cheers

Well said jondee86!
A very merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone from me as well "Grumpy old men" on this and the mr2board forums contributed more to me rebuilding my 4age and aw11 than any other resource on the internet.

Ok guys I got a bunch of 4age bluetop parts I need gone. I am located i Europe so you will need to cover international shipping if you are not in Europe, but I made my prices super low to compensate for that. I will also take offers. PM me for pictures. I can also post them in this thread. Shipping ...

Here you have the basics on cam timing. Demonstrated on a 4age engine using t3 adjustable cam gears. Demonstrated by me

I'm at work and I don't have sound. I am seriously curious about the role of all that epoxy there?

Hey! What parts did you get in the carburetor kit and what parts did you buy separately? Is the vacuum distributor thingie part of the kit? I'm gonna do the same conversion on my Carina, just need to set up a budget :lol: Sorry I'm replying so late. The kit comes with the intake manifold, the gaske...

Look at that beautiful power curve. Only a supercharged 4age can have that. It's rising so aggressively right from the bottom! This must be a blast to drive. Amazing build right from start to finish. No wonder the SC AW11 was the fastest car in its time to 30mph or something. Correct me on this if I...

Gonna bump this because I did a huge update on the opening post. I decided to do it in the opening post because I think the thread might become long and I want to keep the important info up there. Hope that's ok

Here's the unboxing of the bike carb conversion kit as promised

Hey! I have some parts laying around that I thought I might put to use, so I would need some advice and tips. Partslist: Wiseco pistons (think it's their smallest oversize) HKS 264/272 cams TRD 0.8mm Headgasket New valvesprings (unsure if stock or not) I would be using these carburetors: http://www...

I have a 40mm crank that needs to be turned. It experienced quite a bit of rod knock. I am willing to sell it for very cheap if you are willing to pay the international shipping for it.

Some of the late 90s bike carbs actually do have TPS. I have no idea why but they do. For example 1999 kawasaki zx6r carbs already have a tps on them. The question is whether it can be made to work with our stock ECU. Will probably have to buy a set of those carbs or at least a tps from them to know...

mistake double post

This is something I have thought about before... why not use the factory ECU for IGNITION ONLY when an engine is converted to carbs ?? Basically it just amounts to removing the injector wiring and providing an alternative method of supplying fuel to the engine. The ECU does not monitor the injector...

No tps? No map?

Did you even read what I wrote?
I'm asking how to connect the MAP, TPS, and intake air temp sensor to the bike carb intake manifold so they work with the stock ECU.

I think you need a refresher on how carb setup works ... you don't use the ECU with carburetors haha Here are some links I've found useful. http://www.club4ag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4076 http://www.club4ag.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4076 Read this thread. Both links are to the same thread. In t...

Do you have a map sensor? What's the part number on it?

My engine got the knocky rods. Want to do something entertaining with the new one I'm building. Thinking about bike carbs from a kawasaki zx6r. Should be fine with my mild cams. I know many people think carbs are not a smart mod etc. need constant fiddling and adjustments etc. I agree with all that,...

Thank you jondee. You are spot on as always. It's in an at160. I kinda figured its a 3-rib too. I actually like the fact its a 3 rib with the map and no EGR. Question is how tricky will it be to get it to work in my AW11. I plan to use my head which is brand new with catcams and adjustable pulleys i...

Hi guys, So I'm suspecting my 4age bigport 7-rib in my AW11 MR2 might has developed a rod knock. Not sure yet, but just in case I started looking for backup engines and found this baby on a junkyard, its 100 or so miles away from me so I got the junkyard owner to send me some pictures, they're not t...

I have nothing useful to contribute, I'm sorry, but I have to say: Oh my God I am in love with those cam covers!

Thank you jondee86 I kept my old spark plugs, I'll post a picture of them today. Did you take a look at the video? How does the piston look to to you? I know the image quality is nothing amazing, but maybe you can spot something? I got a suggestion on the mr2 forums that the shiny flakes are actuall...

Rogue-AE95 wrote:Those look like smallport pistons. Are the piston domes coated (OEM or aftermarket)?

Yup smallport pistons in a bigport. I put em in there Aftermarket, not coated.

https://youtu.be/thF8b9XtZKU What do you guys think? Good? Bad? The thing that worries me are the white specs or whatever they are, can't really identify them. Signs of knock? Overheating? Piston looks pretty dirty for only 1000 miles. Must be running rich right? Cylinder bores look nice and mirror ...

The oil pressure gauge is not connected to the ECU. The single wire from the sender should be connected to a wire that runs directly to the oil pressure input on the instrument panel. Cheers... jondee86 Oh crap....does that mean I need to take out the intrument panel? or I can splice into the gauge...

I have an 1987 mr2 aw11 with a working oil pressure sender and wire going from the oil pressure sender. The wire is connected to nothing. It was cliped and left hanging by the PO. Don't ask me why. I think its because a 4age bigport from a corolla was swapped, along with the harness from that car, w...

I am the king of idiots.

Here it is.

Please tell me its valve clatter. Here's what I know. - Sound seems to be coming from the head, and it seems to be coming from the part above cylinder number 4. Furthest away from the oil pump - Its not there when its cold, but it is there when the car gets pretty warm, i.e. after a bit of a drive. ...

Definitely doesn't sound like rod knock to me. That is a much deeper sound coming from down low. This seems to be coming from higher up, cylinder head area.

I think jondee86 is spot on and its the intake pulley.
