carbonboy Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Needed a little more height in order to make spraying a little more comfortable. Ghetto, but it works. Before: During: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonboy Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) So, I put a 4AGE into Blue Thing a while ago. Can't say I noticed much of a performance increase. This photo will only make sense to Corolla people, as they say, a picture tells a thousand words.

carbonboy Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 That's what she said... *punches self in face* I'm not a 100% on what's going to happen to that engine, still investigating the pros & cons of different options. What I do know is that I'm a sucker for a dirty bigport. I must say an enormous THANKYOU to azza91 for bearing with me on the eventual sale, we met only briefly but he's good man IMHO. Lives in a beautiful part of the country too, lucky bastard. :P Also a thankyou to bAker & KEhendo for answering all of my slightly noob-like questions! :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonboy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) Update time: Gokai has sat in the shed as per usual, haven't touched her. An increase in responsibilities in life is temporarily seeing to that, once I get on top of it all... :rolls: Blue Thing on the other hand... Those who know me know my stance on carburettors, I'm not taking it all back, just that I'm willing to admit that they are suitable for some applications. So, for various reasons, the 4AGE I recently acquired is going to be stripped down, rebuilt, converted from EFI to carb & slotted into Blue Thing. No massive compression ratios, no stupidly-lumpy camshafts, just standard internals. I'm finding that choosing the carb/s is the hardest part, clearance for twin side-draughts is tight but do-able, but then the motorbike carb option also appealing. Adaptors are available for certain types, but in the case of the bike option it's a little bit of work to make one. Basically I'm just having trouble making up my mind. :laff: Edited February 15, 2013 by carbonboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza91 Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 i was going to to twin 40s on that motor, found a mob who supply a whole kit with everything you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Got a link to that particular kit Aaron? The other most favoured options are quad-CBR900 items (little pricey though) or a single Weber 32/36 downdraught for simplicity's sake. I've had a chat to SQ Engineering about intake manifold flanges & he can make me some so I can have a go at making the intake. I could buy one if the Weber gets the go-ahead, but that's no fun. :) I've managed to nut out the distributor/ignition system (can use a tweaked 4AGE item or my 2AC distributor) so I won't need the EFI wiring& the fuel pump/regulator are easily sorted.
