Beauc Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Very nice mate, motor looks pretty tidy. Just a few questions :D How much clearance between the top of the turbo and the bonnet? What Manifold are you using? Computer? What turbo is it running? And finally, GZE block or N/A block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undertaker_is_the_best Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 awsome work mate enjoyed reading and looking forward to seeing it become the 4agte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzzo Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Wow thats some huge rotors! Will the extra weight on the stud axel be a problem? Most people upgrade to the corona strut when doing brake upgrades which gives them a larger stub axel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate thanks I havent actually checked the clearance of the bonnet, thanks for reminding me ill check it tonight. The manifold came with the motor so not real sure on the brand, i think it might be a backyard job or a performance shop job but its a pretty solid steampipe manifold. I'm running a microtech lt-10s with x4 ecu. The turbo thats on it now is a t28 off an s15. The motor is a 4agze. Cheers, Keelan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_Q Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) interesting, quick one for you; how did you adapt the engine mounts? custom metal brackets to the crossmember or did you mod the crossmember itself? also why not use the cooling kit you bought instead of what's on the engine now. Now I want to come across in the best way possible- I think compared to the level of detail your putting in elsewhere it's letting you down. ALso you might want to do something about that signiture pic as I don't think the mods will like it. Edited March 9, 2010 by Sam_Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALso you might want to do something about that signiture pic as I don't think the mods will like it. The engine mounts form the 20v conversion bolted straight to the 16v, they are custom metal brackets with ae86 engine mounts to standard cross member. I bought the rwd cooling for the 20v but never ended up fitting it to the car because i decided to go a 4agte 16v, if that answers ur questions.

KeelzaMate Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 had a crazy idea the other day, 4AGZE + GT42R What do u reckon? lol Cheers, Keelan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 ok, i will allow it, don't forget the 400 shot of nos to get it spinning! Ive got 300mm rotors on some ke30 struts, have had them for a few years no dramas, remember theyre designed to take the weight of the car, brakes are a pretty small add-on. nice setup though, keep the pics coming!
