you might have to use a multimeter and find out to which pin on the ecu it goes if it does at all, no thick wire will.

I thought they came with a t50?

well depending on which gearbox it has in there a 4age will easy go in, probably a nice cheap option

I can't don't like it myself but a ca18det engine with the stock ecu will probably be the best bang for buck. If your keen a 5S/3S engine converted to turbo spec would be a ball tearer.

not a real easy conversion though

you ok with a nissan engine in there?

self serve wrecker

no problem, yeah spool rods seem to have a lot going from there, I am hear reports of super tight tollerances and that weight wasnt official, both the silver and the spool weights are from me directly: One thing I have no clue about whatsoever though is what difference the reduced weight would have in real world use.

only for a blacktop though and spool rods are pretty cheap these days and again like the acl pistons lighter than stock for both the silver and blacktop: silver: 504g black: 486g spool: 459g weights with bolts but no big end bearing also i thought it was only revs that killed rods once they where past a certain thickness? Having more pressure in the combustion chamber should reduce the load on the rod because the higher compressive force counteracts the inertia force of the rod and piston which is almost always greater. Normally the highest load on the rod is during the cam overlap period because theres no pressure to hold anything back.

yep sorry bearhead my memory is bad sometimes and I still agree with you on the original point and the ones you make here. As for me and an aftermarket ecu I am suprised it has taken someone this long to point it out. Putting your politeness asside, with my current mods if I was planning on keeping my ecu original it would just be stupid, simple as that. the reasoning in what I have done is because the stock ecu with its DLI converter came with my original engine package, however I own a wolf 3d V4 and its bits and I am slowly learning about how to make it all happen so I can wiring it all up myself. I have had enough of stock ECU's from the lack of indications of whats going on alone. Unfortenetly I have way too much on and I wont be able to do much work on my car for atleast another 6 months. Oh and BTW my extractors are crap too, I have lost count how many times i have made something now only to find out I should of done it with different parts/dimentions. I also agree with you on 20V prices, i think they go really cheap. Anyway back on topic I think that the acl performace series is appealing in one way that hasnt been mentioned, yes the 4agze pistons are proven and are a failsafe option however the acl (mahle) pistons are unusally light at 284g + a 75g pin, so a total of 359g. A stock silvertop piston on the other hand is 285 for the piston with a 88g pin (373 total), so its lighter than even stock! I don't have the weights for a 4agze piston right now which is a bummer, but by memory they where a fair bit heavier. Picy: I have to say it looks nicely machined Me personally if I was to go the turbo road then I would use these Mahle pistons but then run a 0.8mm gasket and shave the head considerably to get 10:1 conmpression. That coupled with the TD-05 I have for this job and I think it would be a nice package.

while this is tottaly off topic in theory over a certain diplacement a 5V in atmo form is inferior which I can explain if wanted. Forced induction engines are different again and while I don't know for sure I have a hunch they are the beter pic. The biggest thing that stops a highly modified 20V making big power is the pissy bucket size, because of this the max cam lift is about 9.5mm and hence it limits how aggressive a cam can be run. This is why I was looking to build up a 7afe head, which is something I may never see happen now since the place I was going to send the cams has closed up shop

no... http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/faq/inde...SC/REPLACEMENTS you can use the headlight lenses though

looks great as for the engine bay I don't know bt maybe one of those air driven hand held sand blasters? you would need to cover your windscreen with a rubber matt or something first though

show some pics of the seats if you could

yeah I got mixed up, thanks for the correction

hey how about some clear indicators? are they available for this model?

bloody hell that airbrushing must of taken some time to do, increadible artwork. Needs a tacho to suit that new engine! you have 9 letter number plates in WA?

300kw, he goes by the username 30psi-4age and its in an cortina, increadible effort. He feutured in Zoom recently too.

neither 20v is meant to be either however I have doubts about the blacktop, i will find out for myself soon anyway with my own testing

I havent heard for sure but I know of a case of where this model of engine has broken a belt and it was fine. Also I have seen the shape of the pistons and cylender head and I would say there should be a heap of clearence there

whos is this pete guy?

doesnt matter, has been done heaps of times, the engine just becomes an interference engine

lightly using a heatgun should loosen it up if its stuck

if your talking about the later model of 4afe then you could bolt on all the turbo bits off a 7afe turbo engine, getting those parts would be almost impossible though I would think seeing how few where made.

for australian delivered cars it was just the corollas: ae82, ae93 and apparently the ae92
