ae824ate Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 The 4afe makes 78kw from what i read, and the smallport 4age makes 100kw. I test drove a turbo 4afte seca years ago running 6 psi, and I wasnt impressed at all. Id look into a 4age conversion personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben-89 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Hi Trent, welcome to rollaclub. I have recently bought an ae92 hatch back 5 speed with the 4afe so your questions have generated some looking for me to do. But i like things standard :blush: So are you running any muffler at the back at all?? As running even a small capacity muffler may be able create a little bit of back pressure for some more oomph. In my opinion, with or with out the pod wouldnt make a bigger difference of a 4afe. Maybe the sound factor though. Provided the runs are consistant and accurate, i.e correct size wheels and tyres and getting a passneger to clock the speeds would establish a real performance time. But really 9.5 secs from a 4afe with a pod and no muffler is preety damn good as an SX 4age seca does it 9.38 secs. One from my collection.

GJM85 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) Depends wholey on the application and the finace at hand. I'f its your first car and your looking for fast and furious action..... considcer your options. LKnowledge up or F-off! I'm sick of one timers. Mummy and Daddy bought you a good, reliable, affordable car. If your going to abuse that by ricing the shit out of it, then above applies to you. Otherwise, respect the corolla & learn much about it. Realise there is more to a car than going fatally fast and killing your closest friends. Peace out! 4afc owners Edited March 29, 2011 by GJM85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae95- wagon kid Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 i have ported my 4afe head, have a cam lined up am fitting 4age valve springs possibly itb's and a haltech ecu i am only bothering with the head for now only reason i can afford this is because i am doing 90 percent of the work myself. so the costs are low if you can't do much of the work yourself don't even bother. you will have an engine that will end up costing more than having a 4age installed tuned and mildly modified. pm me if you need more info on my build.

ae95- wagon kid Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 haven't installed as yet porting is hand done and am using a 2001 4afe manifold or will have one made up from one of my fabricator mates. if you are going to try porting be prepared for it to take hours and hours and acid dip or clean in a bath of degreaser before going ahead makes life alot easier. if you are able to go turbo do so i cannot because of the new rules but will be going turbo in the future so i am leaving the block stock for the time being and working the head to be effective as both a n/a and a forced induction head thus the cam is mild .8 mm copper head gasket to slightly raise comp. it is a work in process but when it is done i will post the whole build where to get parts and how to install them etc and a dyno sheet showing results best of luck with it mate.
