13BT_KE20 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Car type? Engine type? daily or w/e car? what do you want to use the car so? i.e. cruising through he CBD or thrashing through the hills All of the above will/should contrubite to making your decision ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit55 Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 KE55 with a ae82 4age, its a daily but turning into just a w/e car soon. buying a work van. i got a lil inspired of entering it next year in powercruise so i want something that will be fast but reliable.... well basically reliable enough to last the 4 days of powercruise lol. was thinking of putting quad throttles on but had also the idea of running 6-7 psi with a turbo.

andro0o Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 definately quads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Yes definately quads. And a turbo!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 turbo. with quads if you want to get fancy. i saw a spoontah with cams/quad throttles only made 70rwkw - didn't seem worth it for the money spent. turbo at 7psi would make more power.

Rosegum Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 that sounds kinda wrong? should have gotten more power than that shouldnt it. Transmission power loss in rear wheel drive is 30-40% of flywheel power where front is only 5-10%So a 100KW 4A-ge in Front wheel will pull 80-90 KW at the back it will pull 50-60 KW low boost would pull you up to 70 odd with good tuning, good components maybe even 75-80 KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curly Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Try Atomic speedware, 4 arias forged pistons are $415US about $580 delivered to your door , put 12psi in it then have some fun & save a bucket of money Edited September 12, 2007 by curly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 i was going to wait till my motor died then rebuild with either factory GZE pistons or ARIAS before upping the boostage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 i was going to wait till my motor died then rebuild with either factory GZE pistons or ARIAS before upping the boostage. Me too, when I spin a bottom end or something like that ill rebuild it low comp and turbo it with the ae111 head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 ARIAS are ratshit. Use something else! Ive seen good result with CP pistons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Transmission power loss in rear wheel drive is 30-40% of flywheel power maybe not that much! but definately more than front wheel drive. awd is by far the worst though. hey irokin just interested in the arias perspective you have as i have considered them but not actually looked into them fully as a few people seemed to have the same perception and i got another brand custom made.

towe001 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Just about every man and his dog has got a turbo'd 4ag of one sort or another... Quad throttle bodies from a 20v would be good and fit some filter socks over the ram tubes. Pretty the engine bay up with a good wash, some colour-coded aluminum sheeting in key spots, if you've got a blue-top 4age cover the spark-plug wires in the same fashion as the red-top. And ditch the bonnet. Or at least cut it open above the filter-socks and fashion it into a factory looking scoop. Would a side exit exhaust be allowed ?? And have it dumping on the left side just before the back wheel Edited September 13, 2007 by towe001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kermit55 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 thanks for all the advice. i just want to have something that'll kill most of those v8's at the cruise. like the idea of a side exhaust dumping out the side. the only thing is its illegal lol but if i do it ill probs just chop it a lil and hide it under the car instead of it saying "please pull me over now officer lol". so I'm still unsure but just really want to no what i can get the most power from without spending over 2k. anymore advice will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
