February 9, 201115 yr comment_501949 Dyno results? You just don't mod a car to not get it on the dyno at some point. Looks the goods though and would look a little more understated without the black bonnet. :) Report
February 9, 201115 yr Author comment_501971 i have it on the dyno with a smaller turbo ( tdo5 18g) it made 180wkw @ 5000rpm @ 20psi due to the old cooler being to small and getting knock. Intake temps were climbing fast . I have done all the tuning myself but not had it back n the dyno with the new turbo but am hoping for 250+wkw @ 25psi. I still have the standard white bonnet, but it just looked too plain. Report

February 13, 201115 yr comment_502615 I thought I would through some pics of my 1971 Galant I built in 1999 with a 4age 20V. Fairly odd combination, why did you choose the 4a over the 4g? Edited February 13, 201115 yr by Trev Report
February 13, 201115 yr Author comment_502705 Back when I did the conversion, it was not legal to have a turboed 2l in a car of that weight, & liked the idea of an engine that revs like the 4age does. I did think about the 4g63bt & the 4g61bt ( 1.6 turbo from the lancer cyborg ) but room was very tight in the bay & turbo's were very hard to get reg. The 4age crazy was huge for small car transplant. Report

May 30, 201115 yr Author comment_528022 Thanks guys, you are correct carbonboy, It's amasing how often I would get asked what it is & who fitted the engine. I still have the original white in the garage. The first reason I painted it black was the thought of the colour matching of the new bonnet & the 20 year old paint, specially on a large flat surface. And nizrolla , the rolla is running & will be at the show at banyo, not reg'd yet but soon. I have the little fiddly things to get up to scratch. Report
