Sorry for being a hard head but i do understand what you mean now, I will get the tools to help me monitor my car and ensure its safe,also i should be making it safer as well for tuning and not trust so much in my tuner. Im happy that we agree the car can make power and drive safely with the boost i...

Feedback in your quotes Did your tuner have any ability to detect knock or were they just assuming it would not work? - Im not sure how he did detect knock, Any engine builder who suggested running the TB a tooth off would never see my business again. That is horrible advice. A thicker HG will be a ...

Yes it was dyno tuned

Reply in your post. Squish area and squish gap are very very important to the way a motor performs. For the life of me I don't understand why HKS sells a 1.6 and 2mm HG. Only reason I can think is for people who need to seriously deck the block. Even then it doesn't seem like it would be a big selle...

Let me clear things up with comments below in your post. Do you mean you are running GZE injectors on the stock ECU or do you have engine management? - Gze injectors on After market ECU Do you have a wideband? - NO Do you have knock monitoring? - No What do you mean about your cam timing being off? ...

Hi Guys I have stock twincam turbo with stock internals. Boosting at 0.6bar on ze injectors but due to my cam timing off im getting away with this. I cant drop boost due to the waste gate spring set on default 0.6bar. So i have two options 1.Rebuild motor 8 k plus OR 2.So I have a second option. Bas...

And posting to south Africa?

Thanks alot, il try and source one from this side

Yeah i had a look at this mani, still thinking about it.
But we do have mild steal manifolds this side,
If you can make me a manifold for $100 will be great but posting it would an added cost which il have to look at.
let me know

nice having a look, price is alot, due to converting to SA rands,
cast i feel will last longer and its stronger.

Hey guys I have been looking for a cast Turbo manifold for a 4age 16 fwd AE92, did find one but its for rwd. How can i make make this work for my fwd setup? i do need to fit a t3 flange and a wastgate flange so any which way i do need to make an adaptor. so was thinking of having the wastegate on th...

Looking at short term - TRD HG to bump comp and use the car for street racing,
Long term Sc12 - with 4agze 9 comp pistons

Thats nice to see thats there is a fix but i think the benefits of moving the starter to the back out ways that option

mixing cam durations: Good: "allows" for tuning of either intake flow or exhaust flow depending on which causes more of a problem. Bad: often times mixing durations doesn't allow for peak performance from either cam. 272 and 264... what are you using for management? After market ecu - cur...

Hi All As stated above i have tried to do this mod on my car, Reasons why - 20v branch have great design and proven to work well, also keeping to the 4-2-1 system was a great gain due to over price 4-1 branch and a custom made branch with unknown areas of gain. 20v branch bigger on the ID of the pip...

So better to run more lift on the exhaust side?

Hi Guys
Im thinking of running split cam setup on my small port,
correct me if im wrong with my setup
272deg int and 264deg exh and lift above 8mm
Is this fine?
and im confused about which cam should be bigger???intake is the common due to it allowing more air into the motor???

Yes lobe pointing up, which leaves the base of the cam facing the shim, that's where you need to check clearence, what's the most clearence one can have?

By the time we ship to SA it will be too much, if I convert that to our money, its alot

@170bhp
Tell me, this spec of 268degree and 8.2mm
Was this done the only the intake cam? Did you run stock exhaust cam?
Also what power increase?
And did you do a re-shim?

16v cams cost an arm and a leg and do not give you much gain, So yes, working a budget we can afford to cut a cam to what spec we want,buy a set of cam gears for it, and still have money left over if we go this way over buying full after market cams Cost vs kw we will win, 20v cams here are going so...

Sup people I know that if one is changing cams to a bigger set they need to do shims and check valve clearance but Im changing just my intake cam on my 4age 16v to a 20v exhaust cam, going to get the cam base cut to 16v size so it will remain at stock spec of 250deg and 7.6mm lift. Will i need to re...

ah yes i have seen that, and that seems to be the only specs one can find, hence me asking if anyone else find they differe, some say the 20v cams are 254/256 but we will never truely know,

so what you guys think of the plan im trying to do?

Now what if i have the base circle skimmed down to the same as the 16v cam? Is that all the problems? reason is a few guys in SA have just re profiled the cams to different specs due to the cam being thicker then the stock 16v cam but i would like to know whats yourls input on it, also what are the ...

Hey guys, this forum has been changing a lot, Ok based on my topic, I have seen there has been post about this but I can't view it, can any one show me how to get to it??? If not, I have a few questions for yourl, What are the cam specs(duration and lift) or a silver top and black top 20v motor? Now...
