Taz_Rx Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yeah his is in a starlet and races against ge starlets, among others, k'sevs etc. But those ge aren't exactly stock either. Was very intersting chatting to Sheldon a few months back (I went and visited him on my NZ holiday). Said that the ge's are really starting to catch up to him now, now that they've been around a few years and theres plenty of R&D done. Compared to a motor that TRD used to race like 35 years ago. I think we've got 3 very distinct groups on rollaclub, which you have to love as it makes the great diversity you see here: The "keep it K" crowd: The "4AGE/GZE/GTE it" boys and everybody else :y: 6's, 8's, rotors, SR's etc. The main passions I think are in the first 2. :jamie: Each to there own I say, but you've still gotta love how for "similarly sized" engines, the old pushrod, pre-crossflow can keep up with a DOHC nearly 20 years its younger! 8/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz_Rx Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 There's really not too much to do at all, I'm now at the point were I'm soooooo hanging to get it going, but on the other hand happy to take my and do things properly. :jamie: I think most of you will appreciate were I'm coming from. There were a few little parts that I raided for the other car like the battery and battery terminals, so as soon as I put them back in it will have power. I can then check all of the ECU wiring, Ignition sensing etc and load on the Maps I have from Madrolla68. Once thats done: Get injectors cleaned and installed Buy FPR (bidding at mo) and install, finish return fuel lines Install turbo water lines (waiting on 1 more fitting) Bolt everything on and together Get exhaust made alloy piping from turbs to cooler, cooler to TB Final tune and dyno runs Terorise the streets of Launceston! 8/ So yeah, almost there! :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think we've got 3 very distinct groups on rollaclub, which you have to love as it makes the great diversity you see here:The "keep it K" crowd: The "4AGE/GZE/GTE it" boys and everybody else 16-lol.gif 6's, 8's, rotors, SR's etc. I think you would be suprised who follows what thread. I follow this thread all the way, because my passion is thinking outside the square, and this is something you have been doing since your first, "slap together" turbo job. Love your work :wink: The main passions I think are in the first 2. yes.gif This depends on what your passion is, if your passion is going fast, original motors are not in the picture.

ae174agze Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Each to there own I say, but you've still gotta love how for "similarly sized" engines, the old pushrod, pre-crossflow can keep up with a DOHC nearly 20 years its younger! :D yeah you can get a fairly heavly work 5k to line up again a rock stock standerd newer 4age altho 4age are getting on in life now, they should start thinking about investing some cash for retirement :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 I don't see how the 4age is any different to the K motor in terms of age as the technology came from the old ford BDA (belt driven A series). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Darren - Wouldn't say it neglected, but it hasn't got as much attention as the rollas lately. Gear box is about to let go so that's getting swapped tomoz, then it'll get driven a lot more, as it won't sound like it has straight cuts!! :D It got some new shoes and brakes not long ago...... Nissan feeling - You should be happy - I added the SR bit in #3 just for you! :) Suppose what I really meant by "passions", was more so "passionate aguments"!! ie K vs 4age Fair cop with the BDA Trev. Mind you when you say that, are you thinking of an A series BDA or Cosworth BDA!!? :hmm: \ Here's a vid you might like, there was a link to build pics of this in off topic over 6 months ago. Matt - You're a bloody ledgend mate, will get them in the post on maybe monday. I'll see if I can put another pre-paid post bag in when I send them to you. :) thanks heaps. BTW, how you going with that engine swap!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
