hmm how much for a 0.8m? hmm that would prob make the compression a lil too high actually

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 2:24 pm

hello
looking at $110 inc gst and freight for the TRD 16v gaskets

what compression are you aiming for?

how come youv decided to go to a bluetop?

by **EVLGTZ** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 2:27 pm

its just what came in the car. Bought a lil sprinter to have some NA fun with thought a lil more compression wouldn't help.

engines mint and very strong and goes well for what it is at the moment.

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 2:29 pm

youll be wanting MORE compression then! :wink:

stick a 0.5 in it and run it on 98!

setting the vvt like that is ok on a competition vehicle... or as mentiones just fit some solid adjustble pulleys.

what kind of strut brace have you got?? how is it crap?

does the name craig ring a bell? oldish fella, he showed me the motec ecu computer program on his laptop, he was at my work experience place teaching the mechanics the new laws and stuff that has came in since X time.

he had vvt always on, but it changed due to temp, throttle posetition, rpm etc, it was quite strange the control he had over the ecu / engine.

eg, at 1500 rpm, full open throttle, it advances 35 degrees, but the second you take the throttle back to say 90% throttle, it changes it to 34.2 degrees, allowing more time for ignition.

it was uncanny.... i want a new ecu!

and he also said that the current 20v ae111 strut brace is utter rubbish, you can bend it with your hands. he sugested i get rid of it, i just laughed... still havnt got rid of it though, do they actualy do things, or should i just rip er off?

haha i run it on 98 anyway and 18degrees advance.
might look into that 0.8 mil or 0.5mil head gasket. matt reckoned a 1mm would bring it up to 10.4 comp but not sure about that, will need to check the figures somewhere

btw sorry for going off the posts topic :lol:

hehe yeah i hit the wrong button, meant to pm you those prices.
do some maths, always do maths! the first time you dont and take some ones word for it, mr piston will meet mr head or something equally nasty!

cosmo, thats CARL, not craig. he did the engine, and a bit of work on the car, car was built by palmside in chch. i was on the service crew for the nelson rally. didnt get to do any servicing though, it went pop on the first stage, rod through both sides of the block...
and thats the joys of a fully programmable ecu, depending on the model you can change anything, but you really need to know exactly what your doing

sorry, i didnt really catch his name

.

is he known for being a smart ass, does he know what hes on about or what?

and some chick named sarah played a part in it i hear to? so anyway to actually reach the power that can push? i know it runs on avgas, but on say 96 (best i can get), anyway i can obtain that power in just n/a fashion? it was running 11km's to a litre when between stages he tells me.... which isnt bad, 444k to a tanc. which is what my car is on now well, inc me being a dope and flooring it

but doesnt the normal 4AGE pulleys fit on to the 20v inlet cam? if your doing away with the vvt then you wont need the vvt pulley

No normal 4AGE pulley's do not fit and looking at the end of the cam I dont think you could adapt them.

Only option I can think of ( am looking into this possibility on my car )
is to set the std pulley to the position where you want it and a few small tig welds in the right place to make it solid.

On a similar note does anyone have a degree wheel for a crankshaft that I can buy / borrow?

the stock strut brace is fine, for bracing from each strut top to the fire wall, but wont to anything from strut to strut.

sara drives it:

as for getting that power from 96 gas, i dunno if it really is 180hp at the wheels then itll be over 200 at the flywheel, thats quite a lot for a n/a 4age on 96! it wont be cheap!

dosnt say what they have done to the bloody car X_X

and they quoted figures on the silvertop when they are using the blacktop... and your not this sven fella are ya? just taking a guess ^_^

by **Mr Revhead** » Thu Sep 09, 2004 1:52 pm

The valve springs Kelfords were installing in these engines were susceptible to breaking.
The TRD valve springs were made for group A engines, are the most reliable & are suitable for all applications.
We always have these in stock for immediate supply.
We also carry large numbers of both the 20V & 16V 4AGE TRD Head gaskets in stock at a very reasonable price.

so would a different head gasket be better on a silvertop 20v if so what type? also what is already on the silvertop?
