Anyone retrofitted oil squirters?
Hi guys, Anyone ever retrofitted piston oil squirters to a 4A block? I'm doing a turbo build and I'll be using 4AGZE low comp pistons and aftermarket forged rods. Like all aftermarket forged rods mine don't have the hole that spits oil onto the cylinder, like stock rods do. So I'm concerned about pi...

Re: HIGH comp Big port carby build with MANY questions
As someone who has gone through a carb build here's my advice. Get an AFR gauge if you haven't already. I think I remember your name actually, we messaged on Instagram once?

Use the original wires where possible.

Re: 4age on bike carbs
You will need a fuel pump so you will need a relay so you might as well keep the Circuit Opening Relay (COR) It has 5 wires but you will only need 3, I don't know AW11 wire colours but they may be similar to an AE86. Black and Red is ignition positive, equivalent to pin 30 and 85 combined. Black an...

Re: 4age on bike carbs
1. The tacho signal comes from the igniter (black wire with red rings in an AE86) it is also in the diagnosis connector as IG- if you trace this wire inside the car you can find where to connect your new ecu output to it. Also you may need to use a tacho adapter between your ecu and the rev clock, ...

Re: 4age PCV how does it work
So basically it won't work because there is too much vacuum in the intake manifold?
What if I add an actual pcv valve somewhere before the intake manfiold?

Re: 4age PCV how does it work
Thanks guys it's clear now. What they were essentially trying to do is to separate the vapors from the oil itself. That damn complicated baffle inside the cam cover finally makes sense. It's there to help prevent oil getting picked up. They didn't plug the pcv hose into the manifold itself because t...

4age PCV how does it work
Was looking at the intake manifold today and got curious. I always thought that outlet for the pcv on the intake manifold is simply open on the other end, i.e. the crankcase vapors go to the manifold, but they don't, rather they seem to end up somewhere in the throttle body? Why is that? And why doe...

I'm really no expert when compared to some of the guys on this forum, but I think working on the block and working on the head really go hand in hand and separating them is weird.
