  1. Hey man, i have a 4agze and yes the supercharger does only kick in, i believe at a certain throttle position... But the boost is deffinately not on all the time. 4agze are really good for everyday, mine uses next to nothing fuel, eats other cars and makes doggy doo outta hills. Very strong motors, would recommend them. Just a fore warning though, the speed does creep up, so if you don't have any demerits left, would not recommend
  2. Hey, as you may know I am currently building a 1989 corolla sx. It has a 4agze supercharged mr2 conversion, which is getting on... try almost 200,000. I have a bigger crank pulley, to spin the charger quicker, i have had the flywheel lightened, i have genie extractors with a whopping 3 inch system. A top mount intercooler, soon to be front mount... But i still want/ need more. Now is there anything else, i can do to the motor in its stock computer to give it a bit more go. without rebulding the engine. If you have any ideas please let me know below. Thankyou James
  3. its time to pull it out and go 4age POWER!!!:)
  4. thanks gizzy, i will try something like the metal and see how it turns out.
  5. Thanks gizzy, mmmmm, the problem is that i can't get to the back of the hole as it is in the rocker panel. :/ I'm just gonna have to bog ,...
  6. Finally finished the back of the car. including boot, lid and back below the bumper. Next thing to tackle is that humongous, hole in the side, I'm thinking very slow amounts of bog, over a couple of days. ? Ill chuck a few more pics up. - any qu's just ask?
  7. So as you can see, i have been busy with the body work, where i bogged up the crack, sanded, bogged, sanded, etc. Finally preped and painted, now looks sweeeet:D just the other side. Then i have one more/ major rust hole (check photos) in the side i have to fix, i believe it is a bit big for bogg, soo, may have to weld up another piece:/ but i will see. I know the image is poorly focused, but it is an idea. Let me know what you think ... James
  8. I will have a look, ask questions and try and get some photos. All in a days work to help your friendly corolla fan
  9. from this, at the start of the weekend ,
  10. Hey gizzy 25, my name is james... um, yes i scored a kit to go from the k series motor to the a series. i got it off my uncle who is toyota madddddd.. I will ask him where he got it and see if i can pass the information on to u. thank James
  11. Today, i mainly filled the rust proofed area and sanded it all back...
  12. did a heap of body work again over the weekend, as i had it up on the hoist and noticed a bit of damage, as i was sanding, it showed a heap of rust so i have been busy sanding, rustproofing and bogging, sanding etc.
  13. hey paul, i am currently in the same progression. there are many posts of people doing the same, Mainly the only things you have to alter is the x member and the engine mounts. the hole where the shifter comes through also has to be cut futher back. You have to look at wiring too. james
  14. I have now chosen my colour, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KDMRp7r-Lk , then name is ford orange. so far all i have been doing is bodywork, progress is slow as i am stuck trying to get my 4agze licsenced:( stinking law. I have the 4agze map sensored for the 35, i have the gearbox, engine mounts and some other fruit. Next thing i am going to do, is pull the 3k out with the box and give the gz a test fit. BUT i cannot do that until i get my corolla sx licsensed, so it may be put off again:?
  15. What the old girl looks like now ;) have a look http://www.freeimagehosting.net/3krvv
