Mr Revhead

in your pics above, is the same piston on the left all the way through? the left one looks like a genuina 8.0:1 4agze piston the one on the right looks like an aftermarket one the catch is on the bottom pic i can see ART on the underside ART make the 4agze pistons for toyota heres some pics i have of new 8.9:1 and 8.0:1

yes you can. thats no problem.

yes... but what people are unwilling/unable to tell me is the details of those mods. manifolds and mounts are easy, so easy as to not be a factor in thise case. really the only hard part is the bellhousing. I'm thinking about cutting one in half and rewelding it however many degrees turned. however thats easy..... and apparantly uprighting isnt easy

yeah done properly the gearbox doesnt move...

cool! thought I'm rather keen on not tilting the g/b but if i have too il look at it

awesome :jamie:

idealy you use a T50 box (i will be) and mod the bellhousing so the enigne tilts but the box stays upright I'm trying to find pics or details of exactly how u can do this

yeah they will know, but i thought a good thread on it will be of more help to more members :) but i shall PM them and point them here. also gives me more room for an intake :jamie:

ok spent over an hour searching the net to no avail... I'm after SPECIFIC info and pics on uprighting a K series engine all i can find is people on forums saying "search" or people saying: "you need to make new mounts and oil pickup" or nay sayers saying its not worth it or costs too much well bollocks to that, i want specifics!! measurements, diagrams, pictures! not worries about the intake, thats another story :jamie:

your lucky i own 2 of the most notorius toyotas for rust, usually when i grap things and the fall off i have to strip half a car to fix it :hmm:

easy fix. go in and tell them you need it fixed NOW. if they um and ah or say can't do GO NUTS. its 100% their fault and they must fix it. why did they have it off?

actually raven has a point a dump valve on a road car is a bit pointless. compressor stall isnt an issuse on the road, and a lot of the real loud aftermarket valves have a soft spring to get the noise, meaning when you nail it again the first bit of boost leaks out and you have actually decreased performance

a 4age in an ae82/ae92/ae101 will be sitting at about 32-3300 rpm at 100kmh in stock form

modern bearings are made to be fine from instalation rings seat very quickly. or else it eats oil.....

a modern engine is run in within 100ks. all this keep it below x rpm or change oil at odd times it bs. start it up, run it for 100 or so kays, change oil. cane it

they will be doing it as its covered under warranty what that means is anything that is replaced is purchased at FULL retail and the deal makes a lot of $$$ on it. i have personally made $6000 on one turbo alone

i THINK so. but i can't recall the size of the 4a flywheel for the effort involved just get a new clutch. they are cheap and a 2nd hand clucth is just silly

flywheels arnt an issue use the clutch to suit the flywheel easy as when swapping boxes check the starter motor bulges. if you have a one bulge and try and fit a two bulge it may interfere with the water pipes

what model 16v do you have? if you have the bigcrank model, ae92 on wards then just rebuild it with ze pistons and rings. the cranks and rods are the same. so you will then have a 4agze. i can supply the parts quite cheap. about $650nz delivered for the rings and pistons. if you have the early model, ae82, then you either need to get aftermarket pistons, or replace the crank and rods.

yes it has a diferent cam belt also uses a hydrolic tensioner which you MUST replace when you do the belt

20vs are very good on fuel. i get about 12k per litre my 4agze (aw11) isnt as good, as expected, but its not bad. havnt done any exact calcs but i get about 4-450k per 40l, whereas the levin does 500ish go the 4agze, however be VERY careful, i see many many dodgy conversions over there

who me? nah I'm not here. ;) [email protected]

not a toyota part number, or any brand other than aftermarket that iv seen all toyota part numbers are: 12345-12345 occasionaly with a 2 digit number after than, ususally for trim colours or paint codes

hello there! yeah go he 4age, a 350 chev will cost mega $$ and turn it into a dragster only! tradme and local papers is best place for parts toyota don't do bits for these anymore :D

yikes..... 99.9% of turbo cars don't need a BOV. the snapping of turbo shafts is a myth, only a factor on full house race engines or stupid boost amounts. the only reason they are on cars OEM is for noise purposes. and saying it helps lags is again BS for 99.9% of cars. only applicibe in flat out racing. and heres more myth..... the super loud ones like the HKS ones are worse than not having one or having a small one. that noise you hear is boost, the more noise, the more boost your losing. they make that noise by having a soft spring. the softer the spring the slower they are to close, so the first fractions of a second on throttle are wasted as they vent. if you MUST fit one, go for a plain plastic bosch one like off a rx7, and plumb it back in. o btw..... turbo timers are a waste of time as well... but thats another story!
