Gr3mlin Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Ok, i have an AE101 Toyota Levin that i wanna take the 20v 4A-GE (non super) outta. and throw something in that will make the wheels spin on the spot in 5 gear. Ok, maybe not that nato. but you know what i mean. I wanna give it more guts. more. POWER. i love that word. anyhow. when it comes down to it. I really don't know what to throw in it. So basically does anyone have any ideas? Ta. Gr3mlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) From what Ive herd, you might be better of upgrading the internal (its not SCed hey?) And put a big turbo on it. It might be easier than doing a hole conversion Wheels spin in 5th......... um...... got $$$ Edited December 30, 2004 by Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) Wheel spin in 5th? ;) Try putting a 8.5 Ratio final gear on Or Get a Honda City, and mid mount a 20B Triple Turbo. :lol: Edited December 30, 2004 by Teddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 (edited) Take the motor out and put a new one it. Sorry my bad spelling 'whole' :lol: I have VERY bad spelling, thank the gods for I-spell ;) Edited December 30, 2004 by Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3mlin Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Thanks for the reply's. It isnt super charged, no. i was thinking about a super charger, but then i don't really know. I heard that you can get a black top 20valve imported for $1500. I thought that might be a good idea. as in adds 11kw+ to the power. I was liking the idea of a turbo, but is there a point on putting one of a FWD vehicle? anyway. Also, i've been read the Street machine and Proformance Cars mags lately, and found an add for (E)lectric (W)ater (P)umps. But i don't know. Anyhow, thanks again! all. How much would need to be done to turbo a 20v 4a-ge? ta Gremlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickAE86 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 you could always try the ae101 gze motor and turbo it later on. The gze alone can be heaps of fun or with a turbo, it may not spin 5th, but will produce more than enough useable horsepower. 3sgte would be a sweet motor but it'll set you back a few $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_bunny Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) 3sgte :lol: but all there needs to be said if u power :EDIT: theres acutally a 3sgte powerd celica? i think it was, putting out around 350FWHP /// nice amounts of wheel spin Edited January 1, 2005 by crazy_bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Just remember wheel spin wont make u fast :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3mlin Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) That sounds interesting.. Money at the moment isnt an issue, I'm guess gathering idea's.. Firstly i better fix something up. I don't really want to wheel spin in 5th, i was just being over the top. ;) tell me a little about the ae101 gze, if i decide to turbo it later on, is that more expensive? the 3sgte sounds... interesting to say the least. will that actually fit into a levin without any hassels? I did alittle search in the local area's and there arent any 3sgte forsale and the moment. so that probly a good thing. :) I also wanted to put a body kit on me car! but i can't really find many places that will do it for an AE101. up here, unless its custom. Shall i wait until i get a new engine and get a new exhaust? basically its completely standard. nothings different. well, there is the pod filter. but thats just a podfilter. anyhow thanks again! :lol: BTW Jason, ahem "GO GIR!" -Gremlin- Edited January 1, 2005 by Gr3mlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr3mlin Posted January 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 "thats not very good bang for buck" yeah, your right! i just liked the idea of putting an engine that doesnt TICK in. Talking about that. does anyone know what the heck it is? lifters? Also, theres a squeeking coming from my rear somewhere... (LOL, i would word it better but its funnier that way) anyway, if i put the handbrake on a little it stops squeeking. is it something to do with the brakes? or could it be a wheelbearing? ta. Me to Jason, i think. my mates got em all and i got em off him. But yeah!.. i love "Walk Of Doom" ta all Gremlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyonsy Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 sounds like noise in back something to do with the brakes mabey bit lose or something the tick could be the injector's i don't think 4age have lifters mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 ok lil grass hopper. listen carefully.. save your $$$$ buy a tunable ecu. like a motech etc. fit that. tune itll make a lil difference. save some more rebuild 20v with 4agze pistons. and throw on a turbo. make 250hp save abit more for gtz g/box and shafts to replace the c52 you will break thats the cheapest and easiet way. DO NOT fit a 4agze. not only are they hard to get and $$$ they are not an easy fit to an ae101 20v. the looms are very differnt and a bitch to fit. an auto sparky mate of mine has done one and he reckons its cheaper and easir to convert the 20v to turbo than 20v to 4agze. also when u rebuild the 20v you will then effectivly have a new engine. whereas a 2nd hand gze could have a dodgy past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3mlin Posted January 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 "Grass hopper Sits and listens" then reads.. A motech ECU huh? I actually wondered if there was something wrong with my ECU, cos, normally when i drive around its fine. everythings good! but Randomly the little *PUT YOUR BLOODY SAFTEY BELT ON* light shows up, when i start the car when its not in (the saftey belt) but it does it when it wants to work. But normally when that light comes on, once the cars warmed up, i have ship loads of power, and it runs overrated as! I'm mean i don't know if its just the feeling i get at the time. but yeah... i don't even know if the ECU goes anywhere near the dash lights,. but yeah! i've only noticed that now. Now, where can you get these Motech ECU's? I've dropped a bottle of Injecter cleaner through the tank and it had very little change. Is there another way to check which injector is doing it? or yeah. Once i've "rebuild 20v with 4agze pistons. and throw on a turbo." will i have to get a better Fuel pump? Also, where on earth can i get all these part that i will need from? I'm still getting my feet in the car buying bitz for place world. ta -Gremlin- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
