rad32 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 hey all.. just acquired a ke70 with a 4age bigport. now i don't know ANYTHING about these but i have been told this engine used to be a supercharged one... i have been told the oil feed and oil return lines are still there but just blocked off. now how do i go about making it turbo/supercharged again? what will i need? i would prefer turbo.. cheers all :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfunkt Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 you will need...... to read and check out HERE as well as a turbo (or supercharger), a flux capacitor, a few litres of nawzz, lotsa cable ties and someone to hang out the passenger window screaming obscenities at everyone you pass. seriously, type 4AGE turbo into google and spend a few days reading and checking out whatever you come across. dF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 if you are on a small budget you can probably get away with an off-the-shelf turbo manifold, buying a 2nd hand ebay turbo off a nissan forum, connect up those oil lines, run some water lines and run some pipework through an intercooler from your turbo to the inlet manifold, get a tune and laugh away. if you can spend some money get a steampipe manifold made up with equal length pipe, new exhaust. brand new BB turbo (won't get into the size debate here) and get a really good tune on a dyno.

LukeAE71 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 hmm so a turbo with manifold, connect up lines (add water lines if oil and water cooled) fmic and tune! hmmm might start looking into it Go see Buddy Parts he will probably have all the parts you are looking for and be able to do it for you if you are not able to or willing to. You probably need to find a cheap T28 off an S13 Silvia, get dump pipe and intercooler piping etc and off you go. Beware though you may not have the right size injectors and also the tune will not be right for turbo so some work may be needed there. Best thing to do is do all your research first, find out a rough cost and if you still like it then go for it. In my opinion you do not need a turbo to enjoy the KE70 chassis. I had a CA one and my mate has an SR one. We have both been in a NA 4AGE one and agree it is much more fun to drive, you CAN ACTUALLY drive it properly, and you can make use of ALL the power all the time, rather than being too scared to most of the time. You do not need big power to have fun in these things, but each to their own and maybe I am getting too old and grumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find someone with a turbo KE70 with a decent amount of power and I mean somewhere around 160rwkw. Go for a ride in it, crap your daks and realise that they don't handle with that amount of power and no traction. Then come up with some interesting NA mods to make your 4AGE breathe better, sound more hardcore and make a little more power that you can actually use. I went for a 20 valve in my AE71, more revvy, quad throttles so the induction will be pure sex, and useable power Hell I had a JZX100 Chaser before this, so I know what it's like to be addicted to boost. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukeAE71 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 what would someone pay for a 3age bigport inc ecu loom gearbox and tailshaft? As a package maybe $1500 or thereabouts. Depends on how complete it is I guess. Why what are you thinking of replacing it with?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DearmanKE Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The seven rib blocks on the small port 4AGE's also have an oil return pipe on the right-rear from the back of the head. The 4AGZE's & 20v's have the 'bump' in the block for that hole, but it's solid cast metal there instead. http://www.billzilla.org/4agstock2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
