Re: What variant of 4agze do I have ?

It's a big port with Dizzy, don't have the SC either, so it would appear to be an early engine.

What variant of 4agze do I have ?

Hey guys, I've had a 4agze for a while in my garage, I don't know which vehicle it's come from, is there a way I can tell ? Have looked at the specs here http://club4ag.com/faq_and_tech_pages/4A-GZE_specs.htm Seems only way to tell is by the Pistons and rods ? Is there any pics online to compare to ...

Who runs without timing belt covers ?

I'm currently running a clear cover which is cool, but I really dig the rawness of no covers or backplates. My car is purely a track & show car with the odd Sunday drive. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/17/9aa891c79261734c9e992a85809c6ba4.jpg http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/17/a21499b5...

Love the look of the engines when all the front covers are removed, I fully understand what could happen, a stone or something snapping the belt etc etc But how many run without covers, for how long, and who's had issues ? http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07/15/5c20a672cfc35f30f31591a86d6e1a0f.jpg ...

Re: 4AG Turbo oil loss ?

If your breather system is still factory it won't work as the inlet manifold is now + pressure ! So this could be a contributing factor !

Re: Turbo build help required.

Ah ok, so at a guess the 365cc will or won't be up to the job ? I may have a set of injectors from a celica, a 2.0ltr, over here it's called a GT but looks like this http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/21/eab5984082303472267ddfe399691564.jpg Possibly a 3sfe ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok thanks. Will be getting full stand alone management, but looking for a tuner currently, once I find one and have seen some of there work, I will get something they like using as its probably the best way to go about things.

Re: 4AGZE RWD project spec sanity check

I'm doing a similar thing but going turbo. My car is a KP60 Starlet. In the UK things like a T50 gearbox and RWD inlet manifold are very hard to find so the word 'Budget' doesn't really apply. A RWD water pump is also impossible to find here so I just made an alloy pipe section to run from the back ...

From memory I had 0.25 piston above block with a standard head gasket and haven't had issues as of yet.

Re: 4AGZTE

To run both a SC and TB is a lot of work, there's a thread here somewhere.

Basically it can be done, but not worth the hassle as modern ball bearing Turbos spool up so fast anyway.

I'm currently building a 4AGZE but dropping the SC for a TB.

Where are you based ? Love Donnington :) Not many UK members on here though. Try putting a long screwdriver handle to your ear, and then pressing the end on the block, will get you close to the area the noise is coming from. Sounds like valves to me, pop off the cam covers and check all the steel sp...
