Other things have taken priority; school, school, FSAE car, F-class shooting, cameras, the 20v swap, track day, autocross, school, tuning the MS3.
I guess everything other than building that engine.

4A-GTE. I'm hoping for around 300 WHP, or just under that (AE95 being AWD). I've got brand new stock late GZE pistons (8.9:1) and I was thinking about running a T28 turbo. I'd rather have the 200k+ mileage on the motor after it gets built since I semi-daily drive this (along with my other car). Plu...

trigun402 wrote:Next one??

The next 4A-G going in. Important things like school and school have slowed things down, but I'm in no hurry. I've been posting about it here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=26

I have a set of those 40-20 rods... can't wait to get my build finished. Only thing I had wondered about was no oiling holes, but as OST mentioned, they're not always necessary? Between those and the non-squirter block I'm using, should I be concerned? I'm sorry I wasn't able to get back to you soo...

Stock blacktop or did you do anything to it?

It's got 100mm trumpets on AE101 throttles. Running on a megasquirt 3. There's a lot of fun in store for it, and the next one.

blacktop 20v swap.

Really brought the chassis to life.

What engine management system are you running? Just the stock ECU?

Lol Some drifting if posible and But lot of dailly I do gripping too. I do have carrilo rod in there as well What are you wanting as an acceptable redline? Understand that the higher it is, the faster the wear parts of your engine will wear. I like power in the middle of the rev range. Corner apex ...

I rebuilt it with pon cam Toda oil gear and ported pump. Ferrea valve and spring kit That a out it for internal .. Of course new seal gasket etc.. I intend to install this noby booth throttle induction air box. Excellent choice of parts. What are you planning on doing with the car? That'll decide a...

Planing on using it with a custom air box Anything else done to the engine? Shorter stacks will push the usable harmonics induction up in the rev range. Usually out of the usable range of an unmodified engine. Longer stacks will, conversely, bring it down. This guy offers some advice on intake harm...

Have you contacted him? Or visited his website? 'cause he has a list of the lengths he offers.

Why do you wanting uber-short stacks?

I'm looking at putting cruise and AC in my AE86. I have the evaporator core. What do you have? I believe I have a spare A/C compressor and cruise control unit, both out of an 87 GT-S. I got the car as a parts car so I can't speak for condition. PM me if you're interested, I can make a deal for you ...

To determine spring length: Find an average front and rear corner weight. That is to say: how much weight will the spring support? Find the distance between spring perches for the ride height you want. The total length will be the at rest length + the corner weight divided by the spring rate. Be sur...

For me, I'd rather support companies who support good labor practices. If their working conditions aren't something I'd be willing to submit myself to, then I'm going to look elsewhere for my product. Most Chinese labor practices fail this test. Some American and European companies do, too!

It drives me batshit crazy that Carillo, Molnar and others use US hardware on metric motors. It is my understanding that ARP makes their best conrod bolts in SAE. I think it has to do with asymetric threads. Pankl offers asymetric conrod hardware in metric, but it's prohibitively expensive. http://...

I've seen those FA cranks you've been selling on the site. Very nice. I'd have to have the oil pump flats milled. I have to think it all through now. Costs are a concern. One more thing. If I did use a new stock crank and aftermarket rods with custom made J+E or mahal pistons (12.1) what would be t...

Shifting above 8000RPM is pretty hard on 40mm cranks and 18mm wrist pins.

Do any of you engine builders out there know of a stock crankshaft that will fit into the 4age 7 rib block that will handle up to approx. 8700 rpm. This is for my WSR that uses the '87 4age, with the 304 web cam,12.5-1 compression and weber carbs. Unbelievable as it may sound I've done hundreds of ...

Hi hope some 1 can help I just install a 1NZ cop's, not sure how to make after market tacho work, without using the igniter.

I really like the way that rear subframe went in. Looks good.

Does the E30 diff mount differently?

Wow, there's a lot going on here! This is off the top of my head. It could be wrong. There's a few things with cams which can affect idle. To illustrate, here's a cam card and profile map of Tomei's PonCams for the 20v. The map also shows their 16v profile. https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-38AOAzw...

Just for the record, the purpose of velocity stacks is to improve performance. If the stacks are not designed with the correct shape, they either won't improve performance or may reduce performance. You want a proper bellmouth shape in order to improve performance. The best design I have seen so fa...

bet something similar would look good on a certain specific smallport.

Basically, if you're paying for this, you won't get a lot for your money going elsewhere. If you're devoting your own time, what is it worth? What's your power goal? Though I haven't had one in my hands, the best I can tell is that comparatively there's not much wrong with T3's solution IF you incor...

Don't lighten an OEM blacktop flywheel. They're a great weight as they are. If you don't like it, sell it and grab a different flywheel, but as they are, they're pretty awesome.

PIM is intake manifold pressure in Pascals?

The factory service manual for the blacktop lists codes and provides instructions in how to get them.

Get it running right before worrying about changing to bigger cams.

Still have your AE101 ITBs? Throw them back on. AE111 ITBs are large even for AE111s. You're losing throttle modulation for likely no gain in power. If you'd like, A Graham Bell talks about throttle sizing in "Four Stroke Performance Tuning" You can also do CSA analysis and look into fluid...
