How's it, I've got one of these turbos (ebay T3/T4's) would love to see the dyno sheet as I've got a CA18DET as well that I plan to put it on. Cheers Jordan

:D I'm just speculating here, but the larger compressor whill might have something to do with that. jordan

Quite true, that's why you need an intercooler and an aftercooler. Things to remember: all chargers are simply air pumps. a roots type blower is just that. All it does is pump air, it does not compress air. The compression of air is due to the restriction that the motor provides. hence they tend to be inefficient. SC12 and 14 are of this style. hence if using a total compound setup (simplest) once the turbo is in business and pressure before the SC increases. The SC still only pump 1.2L of air each revolution. It just happens that each 1.2L of air is no longer at 14.7PSi absolute, but rather some number higher. (I'd have the throttle plate (plates for quads) afterthe SC because, then you cna run a BOV after the SC which sounds amazing.) A better option than the Roots blowers are the Lysholm twin screw suberchargers, which come on such cool engnes as Mazda's 2.3L V6 miller cycle. This particular SC is made under licence by IHI and they are a real nice peice of kit. they're much more efficient and over come many of the short commings of roots style blowers. They're (the one on the Mazda miller cycle engine is) also of a larger displacement then the toyota SC's. Meaning you can run it at a lower speed (less drag/heat) to pump the same amount of air. Low static compression works well for Twinchargers. a nice 7-8:1 is just right. Cheers Jordan P.S: Twinchargers are dirty, overly complex, hard work, not fuel efficient (ever due to low static compression) but ever so rewarding.

Hello Ray, 98RWkW out of a 4K isn't bad, for a first run. Just to let you know the T25 will be out of legs by ~150RWkW. so you've still got plenty of room there. Keep s posted. Also what carbie are you running? Cheers Jordan

hey @ $260 they're execellent value. Cheers Jordan

The old 2T head is far from a work of art (visually,) but a war horse it is. I've seen a few examples on twin 45DCOE's, that made some respectable power, EFI would be amazing. What ecu are you using to control it all? Cheers Jordan

http://www.autosportlabs.net/index.php?tit...tallation_guide look halfway down. install guide for a 4AG. Cheers Jordan

First off that's uber cool :o post up on www.ozcelica.com (user wayno on there is in the market for quads for his redtop BEAMS 3SGE in his show car.) secondly why did you chose to use the 13T head with its uber gay pre-cmbustion chambers??? and not say a 2TG head on the 3T bottom end. be great to see it one day. Cheers Jordan

Pah, solex's are great. Parts are avaliable from Roger on Toymods (he's on here as well I think.) He's a bit of a horder so he's got it all. I had solex's on my 2TG ran like a deamon. the only trap is that the venturies tend to work loose. just keep an eye on them or put a littl paint on the thread as a mild lock tight and they're fine. I'm even using Twin PPH40 Solex's on my 4AG build up. If you get them tuned well (recomend a mild cam and extractos as a minimum) then there is no reason they should go wildly out of tune. but like all cars a trip the the mechanics once a year for a grease n' oil change never hurts. since they're already on a k manifold they've probably had the jets resized for use on the 1.3 but still woth (if you buy them) haveing them dyno tuned (by someone old with greying hair) on your car for best results. They're a good price Jordan

A conversion that someone should really be looking into is that of using a 2ZZ-GE. All alloy, 190PS. Fair bit of work involved, bellhousing wise but results would be very rewarding. Cheers Jordan

the problem with a straight 6 over say a 4, is the there is 6 or 24 of everyting, instead of 4 or 16 of everyting. Cheers Jordan

if you need any parts let me know? Cheers Jordan

single or twin DCOE setup. funnly enough I've got a redline manifold and single dellorto DHLA 40mm for sale (very similar to a weber DCOE 40mm.) Cheers Jordan

Unlike heat from a grinder, heat from an oxy will likley ruin the temper in the spring, especially if it's under load. Jordan

Tips for the novice spring cutter: tip no.1: don't get over zelous, cut 1 coil first, see how it sits, the cut more. you can't put coils back in. Tip no.2 Use a peice of stiring to measure how much metal has been removed from the first side. With the string trace the other sides coil so they are both even. Cheers Jordan

I agree, but MRMOPARMAN in post #10 suggested that he'd ruin the spring's temper but getting stuckinto them with a grinder. Cheers Jordan

the easyest way to go twin charger is to run the turbo before the super charger and have it blow throught the super charger in a compound setup. it avoids and complex bypass valves, and there's no issue with it switching from supercharger to turbocharger, since the SC is always on and the TC just shows up when the time is right. No lull in power. It's best to have and intercooler and an aftercooler in order to avoid super high intake tempreatures, even water injection can work well here. The supercharger runs all the time (eg off at cruze, but on all the way to the limiter) Cheers Jordan

Have a look at the cosworth BDA (on which the 4AG is fairly heavly based) Twin 48DCOE webers and 240+hp to boot. Cheers Jordan P.S: Ignition only computer would be uber cool and I'd buy one.

I thin you'll find heating steat makes it harder, but more brittle. However if steels are left to air cool, they tend to retain much of their initial properties. unless they are air hardening steels like Reynolds 631 or 853. If quenched (cooled quickley in water, snow or oil) then they become very brittle. but very very hard. you can then temper the steel by reheating it to a lesser tempreature eg: 300dec C and allowing it to air cool. this tuffens up the steel. Cheers jordan

^^ good advice, that's what we do. Jordan

if you're in adelaide, we can have it done in 60 minutes :y: jsut bring the beer and the beats Cheers Jordan

Now Spelt with 1 "B" WEBER Jordan

microtech note: word is you can bastardize the AC compressor mount to mount a Super charger. Cheers Jordan

Here's the CAA22, head's currently off, getting solid lifters, possible CNC if the budget allows. Cheers jordan

I'll have ha look at my spare head thisevening, here's hoping it's a 261 Cheers jordan
