July 30, 201214 yr comment_618593 what turbo have you got running on that car kickn? where does 32psi sit on the efficiency curve? it would have to be way on the right somewhere! though a 4age is only 1.6L. It's got a Garrett GT28-76 on it. I haven't looked at the compressor maps for that turbo since it was put on about 12 months ago. From memory though, that's about as much as it will make. Seeing as the turbo is rated at 440hp and IF the engine made 100% volumetric efficiency(4A = 100ci = 100hp) it should make 540-550hp MAX. The engine itself isn't anything super special either. STD GZE block and bigport head, custom forged pistons, spool conrods, cometic MLS head gasket, arp head and main studs and stupidly huge cams(only specs I was able to get was the 312deg duration). I was fairly reluctant to fit the cams, but that's what the owner had and wanted fitted, they do seem to work quite well though. We have been thinking it might be the most powerful 98 premium fuel 4A in AUS. But not too sure. Report
July 30, 201214 yr comment_618632 yeah from my quick calcs that is a VERY well chosen turbo for the 4age. at that pressure ratio it is in the meat of the curve, i bet it goes well! nice choice. I'm a little skepticle of the power figure though. what RPM did you take it too? Report

August 1, 201214 yr Author comment_618969 Go to Repco/Supercheap auto/Battery World and get a free battery test. Didn't Spencer have a weird starting problem because of his battery or something? Edited August 1, 201214 yr by rian Report
August 1, 201214 yr comment_618971 yeah thats the plan I reckon. I might swap the coon battery in tonight and see if it makes a difference. Report
