There's a good review thread on AE86fightclub forums you should check out, here's a preview posted by Ronny 11+ exhausts compared w pictures http://www.ae86fightclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=653 Misterjerk and Aaron you guys are both from NoVA too? I might know you guys in real life lol Th...

no they are not. there are wiring mods needed to make it work in a usdm car.

since you are too lazy to google, so am I.

Im in NOVA and the FFX county cops don't mess around. Ended up going back to a stock-like exhaust. The illegal exhaust tickets were getting into the $400 range. Not to mention being threatened with jail time or impoundment, for a fix it ticket. My buddy with HKS sport was getting tix as well out here.

Perhaps this will interest you.

I would try it. I did on my frankenstein 16/20. I eventually kept it as I like the midrange. Unplugging it will keep the butterflies open. i drove it for a week both ways.

cut and splice. or splice in some new connectors from amazon. If you wanted to be fancy you could find replacement connectors and make an adaptor harness.

I do believe rongfk makes plug and play conversion for this.

16v timing belt with 20v oil pump is a huge pita to get to work. you can extend the 20v tensioner, which i did(drilled out an m6 allen bolt and tacked it onto the end of the tensioner. eventually, i switched out to a 16v oil pump with new tensioner, etc. if you are still running the 20v lower pulley...

"that makes the fuel pump function with the key in the ON position, maybe someone can clarify this for me." jumper the Diagnostic plug. this will put the engine into diag mode and will bypass the AFM fuel pump switch. I think you need the FSM(link to it is in my sig) Kind of sounds like th...

link to the fsm in my sig, might have to click around to find it.

You need a wet system--one that injects both fuel and nitrous. These are usually mixed at the jet nozzle. You could run direct port with a jet to each manifold runner or...create a standoff nitrous injection system. You don't necessarily need an entirely separate fuel system for nitrous. Most peopl...

Could you post a pic of the header you got, especially the 4-2-1 parts? So we can see which cylinders are paired together.

Thanks!

Gents, Would the attached kit work on a stock bluetop 4age? http://www.cxracing.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=CXR&Product_Code=TRB-KIT-4AGE-T3-NO-IC&Category_Code= I'm looking for something special to do with my 4age, many thanks Check this out: http://bfy.tw/11k0

the correct way ^^

you could fiber glass it from the inside and bondo it, but it will probably crack or come out or do something a welded in plate will not do

as your attorney, I advise you to get a quality MLS head gasket. I wouldnt trust an OEM HG to hold up to 12:1 compression. Why? Just wondering what you are basing your opinion on, it holds upto pressures from the 4AGZE??? to tell you the truth, I hardly trust any OEM HG to keep it together for incr...

did you see the amount of corrosion in the waster jacket and where the crack was.. wanna bet that had something to do with it.

I have actually never seen a cracked cylinder wall in a 4age IRL. they are very stout. IIRC that block ran at those boost levels for over a year.

And the posts earlier in this thread didn't answer your question? I have never heard of someone sleeving a 4AGE. Honestly I don't believe it's practical because by the time you get to a bore big enough to need sleeves the material between cylinders would be too thin to take a sleeve. With that said...

blocking the inlet on the intake mani, and a filter on the catch can, even temporarily will tell you whether or not it is getting pressurized that way. you should be blowing your dipstick out when you hit boost too.

if you can find a shifter from Leen(the guys who brought the adaptor for the 6speed for the 4age.)
Im guessing they are now out of biz, since their site is down now.

here's a pic:

I bet you are pressurizing the crank case, because of the valve cover breather hooked up to intake mani. no pcv valve or one way valve to stop the crank case from getting boost.

Needs notch the alternator and shave the water pump if i use the complete 20v block, what about i use the 16v alternator/bracket, water pump and oil pump? because i have a fully stock 16v blue top on my car now, i could use all of the blue top accessories if needed. What did you mean delete the bot...

got a mechanical water temperature gauge and was looking for a spot, on the engine, to install it. most people use a thermostat housing from an AE82 or AE92. however, i was wondering if i could use one of the ports on the rear head plate. neither of the bvsv components are operational on the car. t...

I have had my 1620 going on 3 years now. 20v BT bottom end with 16v oil pump and all 16v accessories. 16v head large port head and stock cams and ecu/wiring. originally i used the complete bottom end with oil pump and everything. had to notch the alternator, and shave the water pump ribs, for the te...

usually they just block them off at the head

you can get one at almost any local parts store in the US. or in the classifieds section of this website.

AE86 one has a heatshield on it. Ive been running a ae92 one for over a year now though,

I take the headers off. and jack the tranny up under the bell housing to tilt it up. attach hoist, rock it a bit, pops right out.

Tranny angle makes it easier to reinstall.

NGK BCPR5EGP 1.1mm gap for stock. might close the gap a bit if you raise compression.

NGK plug wires work quite well and fit perfectly.

Missing might not be the Plugs or wires. Check out your cap and rotor for wear, also check inside of dizzy for oil leaks(bad seal, pretty common)

Fronts are Formula Mesh..
