Re: Lit'lphant - Toyota's Hemi V8

Could have been another mod to consider, changing valve guides. With that you could have used custom guides or crossed to something that would fit which would have allowed the adapting to a "locking" seal and many other options. Just my mind going in many different vectors at the same time...

Re: Lit'lphant - Toyota's Hemi V8

Why would you need dual springs with this engine? Plan on running some high RPM? Just curious. When I want to kick the revs up on a 22R I like using "beehive" springs. Instead of running the higher spring rates associated with dual springs the beehive springs keep lower sring rates while c...

Re: 4AGZE MAP DLI Alternator options

Is there a rebuilder locally? Best chance to get the job done. Another question is, is it the distributor or the regulator? ECU? Maybe it's time to find alternatives. The supercharger is becoming extinct and the alternator is being an issue as well. Keeping limited edition anything can be a challenge.

te37 4age swap

Yeah, I looked, didn't find it.

Looking for info on swapping a 4AGE into a TE33X. Thought I read somewhere I nee the AE86 crossmember to get the job done. Figure that would facilitate a rack & pinion upgrade as well.

Anybody have a clue or link I can check out?

Thanks.

Re: OST-093: My, My, Mystery

That "rattle" depends on the alloy of the forged piston. "Street" forgeged pistons using a different alloy than "racing" pistons didn't need so much clearance. Wish I could remember the different alloys. The "street" alloy was also less rigid than the "ra...

Re: Ultimate Steering Rack for the AE86

So many sytems out there. Still trying to catch up with Nissans Atessa.

Would be nice to adapt a complete stability control to an older car. I'd like to see adaptations to the AW11 and the SW20, especially for newer drivers in that couple of cars. So many peeps get into trouble with them.

Trans oil/fluid? I found an oil, Ford offering, that has additives to reduce friction and EP additives that do a fantastic job, maybe too good. Check with your Ford dealer. Reducing gear endplay keeps more face contact with the gears. Straight gears tend to be better as well. Reducing endplay also h...

Re: Ultimate Steering Rack for the AE86

Caster and SAI have modulate your steering feedback and centering. The new "electronic"steering assist" sense the column movement and will work with the feedback to center the wheel, at least it should.

Re: Ultimate Steering Rack for the AE86

Techno Toy Tuning has a set of steering arms that allow many adjustments. Take a look at them. As for the quick steer racks, they're not too bad unless you add a steeper caster angle. Smaller steering wheels just make extended track periods tiring, auto-X and drifing not so bad. Spaghetti arms are b...

If the engine is to retain stock electronics I'd say go with the 3VZ-FE, unless you have good skills with wiring.

Re: Anyone build a 4AG 16v with the Brian Crower stroker kit?

Can't wait to read this one. Not too sure longer duration will be detrimental to this particular stroke though. I think the HKS kit was happy at 10k rpm.

I'd look for a bit more lift and pay attention to the lobe centers and timing in a longer stroke app.

Did you plan to use a dry-sump oil system?

Yes, the drag racers are pumping 1000+hp from those 7A based engines.
But 300 from an "A" series is some serious nuts. I'm happy with around half that with a putt putt torque torque curve.

With that sleeve/deck extension, were they able to get an 84mm bore?
