Re: Silvertop Engine Codes.

When you have that much codes from that much different and unrelated parts, my first thought is that you've got a messed up ground or something like that for the ECU. RPM signal comes from the dizzy O2 sensor is in the exhaust TPS is on the throttle body Speed sensor goes through the instrument clus...

Re: Carbureting the 4AGE essentials

Thnx :mrgreen: The FX you're reffering to is probably the AE82 which was a lot more boxy and with sharper lines. This is an AE92 hatchback with a aftermarket bodykit. Still a work in progress though to get it back to a somewhat decent condition :roll: When I eventually carb the 4A-GE, it will be tun...

Re: Carbureting the 4AGE essentials

The before dyno was the stock, untouched motor as from the factory with Aisin carb and about 140.000km's on the odometer. It gave about 78hp at the wheels, which with a typical FWD powertrain loss of 15% translates into 89.7hp. Toyota reported 90hp at the cranck for the 4A-F when new. So I'd say it ...

Re: Carbureting the 4AGE essentials

'typical' weber fits a wide range of displacements. You'd spend a chunk to get it 'dialed-in'. That's coming from experienced old schoolers. Most 'enthusiasts' not going thru all that Of 100 carbed 4AGE, do you think 3 of them better tuned than a healthy stock 4AGE ? I don't, so all that 'proves' i...

Re: Carbureting the 4AGE essentials

Sizing carbs or throttle bodies is mostly dependent on what you intend to use the engine for, and what other mods have been made to the engine. Everything from 40's to 48's have been used on the bigport head, in cars ranging from near stock to fully built racecars. If you were happy with the 40mm S...

Glass beading. It's kinda like sandblasting, but instead of using a very abrasive material, I use glass beads. That can be used on practically every material without really harming it ;)

Re: Ae92 levin front end conversion!

There should be 'long' bolts or srews on the back of the housing. With those you can ajust the reflector behind the bulb and adjust your lightbeam.
Be carefull though, a lot of them gathered some rust over the years and might not turn so easily anymore... ;)
