Engine turned into a metronome

Postby dickhead » Tue Nov 07, 2006 11:23 pm

After finally getting it running right it gave up. Shiiiiiiiiiit. Completely lost oil pressure, makes this wicked knocking noise haha damn bearings... kinda sounds like one of those piano metronome things the old lady had when we were kids

Anyway, just after some advice from anyone whos in the know on 4age turbo's.

I'm rippin it all to pieces, getting the bottom end rebuilt, and am going to do away with the factory computer/loom and get a decent computer. Any advice on what to buy?

Also I have a 4age bigport head, which i'm rebuilding etc at the mo. Would this be better than the 4agze one thats currently on there?

Thinking maybe of upgrading to a w55 or 58 from a t50. Thoughts?>

And any other advice or comments>> Thought fck it, may as well go hard seeing I've come this far ;)
I want it to go super hard. Engines in a Kp62 starlet.

In that case I might have the following up for sale soon too: 4agze head, supercharger etc(unknown condition cos I ripped it off and turbo'd it), T50 with 4age bellhousing, 4agze e101 ecu and loom, 4agze aw11 ecu.

Cheers guys-

Bigger gearbox cant hurt. The head will mainly depend on if you want outright power up top or a little bit more down low at the cost of top end power. Big port probably be best if you want to thrash it and keep it up in the revs all the time, smallport (GZE head) if you want a bit more down low and slightly less up top. Could be wrong though.

Computer depends how much you want to spend really.
