Yay ae92 gtz

[Volatile]

Well after about 5months looking for a ae92 gtz,
a month ago i saw a
1990 White gtz, so i put my number on it and the guy said he will sell it in a months time, well one more week and he said he should have his new car.

it's done 130,000km

where is the best place to get it checked out? im worried if i take it to AA or vehicle testing they wont check things like compression, and condition of the s/charger.

do suspension parts off ae92 fxgt's fit on levins?

any common rust spots?

i'm sure it's a map sensor model so thats all good

any other information would be good

cheers
James

AA are shite. They told me bugger all about mine that I couldn't work out for myself... like the fact that it rattles. No shit.

Thats not really helpful I know, but just dont go to AA

[Ae92typeX]

testing station do test compression, but really it was just another wof test I felt. pointed out a few extra bits.

[Mr Revhead]

go to your local toyota dealer. tell them you want a prepurchase inspection done. tell them to have a good look over it for an hour or so.
just say to check the s/c etc and they should give you a very good report.
but please remember that no matter how good the inspection they cannot guarantee it wont blow up in 2 weeks.

Yeah, a mechanic can check a lot of stuff in an hour and will check for mechanical condition whereas the AA will spend an hour noteing down the chips in the paint and the cigarette burns in the seat.

Are you sure its MAP sensored? Most AE92's are AFM ... check and see if you've got a big bulky metal "thing" on the throttle body side of your airbox. If you've got one, then its AFM.

I don't know how true this statement may be, when we were sourcing the ECU's for our MR2 SC conversion, the only ones we were able to get were AE92 DLi MAP ecu's...

I endorse Car Inspection Services. 309 8084. They do compression checks unless it's a freakin Subaru or something.

I stand to be corrected of course ...

Mine is AFM ... 1989 Trueno GTZ

Most are AFM, but yes sum are MAP.

AFM was though to mid 1990, Map from then on but have seen the odd pre 90 with MAP and vice versa.

I'd be on the lookout for the MAP version as higher output mainly due to its slightly higher compression ration (8.9 vs 8.0)

[Mr Revhead]

to be exact afm is from 8705 to 8905
map is from 8905 to 9106
( 87 being year 05 month)

Cheers warwick.

And those other misfits we come across are most likely to be the result of engine transplants?

[Mr Revhead]

transplants, afm-map conversions. it is possible that the odd one snuck out after the change over, i mean if they had 500 afm engines left over they would use those up.....
but the other thing to remeber is where are you getting your vehicle date from? a 1st registered date is not the same as a build date, if the vehicle is made then sits around for a while before being registered it can appear to be say a 90 when it was in fact made in 89.....
also mistakes can happen when rego details are being typed in.

[IH8TEC]

how do you find the build date of the car?

[yep11s]

So the AFM version would be better when turbocharging and Aftermarket ECU ?

[IH8TEC]

doesn't matter if you get afm or map if your going aftermarket ecu, because you'll be able to tune it properly.

but if turbocharging with aftermarket ecu, map would be better, i think a afm has a limit on the airflow to a point, dont quote me on that, whereas you could get as much air in there as you like with a map, and just tune for the extra fuel you'll need etc.

just go for the map sensor one, better for higher output engines, be better in the long run.

[Mr Revhead]

to find the build date you need to go see ya local toyota dealer with you FULL model and frame numbers. with that they can tell you
