Ae111 20v black top TURBO anyone done it??

[022]

I want to put a turbo into my AE111 BZG and want to know what is involved how much it would cost is it worth it??

All help would be greatful

I believe TRD have done it,

i think you may have the wrong 20V for a reliable setup, the silvertop seems to be the prefered option for going down that path!

[Bling]

use the search on the forums. end.

From my little knowledge, if you have a blacktop, which already runs high compression, turbo will only give you ~5psi of boost, and then you'd be likely to blow the engine within a year. So really, you'd be better off staying away from a turbo and looking at other options, cams etc etc.

sell the blacktop
buy a silver, and rebuil dwith 4agze pistons

[oldskool_rwd]

im doing it at the moment costing/spending around 8k all up on the motor im just doing the motor for a rwd conversion

[022]

well all i want to do is get around 7psi of boost nothing to hurt the engine but with the high compression it has would a bigger head gasket do??

[Adamal]

Problem is the conrods. Notorious in the Blacktop for being about as strong as toothpicks. They wouldn't handle boost very well at all, even mild stuff.

[CozmoNz]

cmon adamal, be positive!

Yeh, you can do it, guy in aus did it with stock high compression. (that silver ae85/6)

no doubt by now hes rebuilding his engine due to a boost spike, BUT IT CAN BE DONE lol.

highly suggested you rebuid with lower comp pistons, and stronger rods (silvertop ones will be fine).

Think the blacktop rods could take boost with some cryo etc?

[offensive]

why not blacktop, silvertop rods and gze pistons??

[gdsup]

beau in aus with silver was running 10 psi 138 rwkw apparently, run big end bearing so hes building ze bottom end know, would think good idea to do ze pistons and ze/redtop/silvertop rods

got a couple of grand?

its simple if you want your engine to last... silvertop/gze rods , gze pistons , and your choice of blacktop or silvertop head.
while turboing the high compression bottom ends makes good power on bugger all boost and will be very responsive,they dont tend to last very long, and you are limited with how far you go with them. that said i know of a turboed honda b18c engine that has made 210-220kw atw on the stock bottom end for about a year now.was a little bit smokey last time i saw it tho.

[ROBODISCO_20v]

ACL do a set of forged low comp pistons for the 20v's. They lower the comp down to about 8.1:1 for turboing. They retail for about $1500 inc. They're availabile throught most auto parts places like appco/repco etc.
But like everone else has said you'd need to look at upgrading the rods first.
It doesnt look like any of the big japanese tuning co. do a thicker head gasket for the 20v's only 0.8mm & 0.6mm for N/A tuning.

[Mr Revhead]

why spend $1500 on those when you can have 4agze ones for $600ish?

It that a blacktop turbo to RWD?

I doubt 16v pistons will work with a 20v head

[Mr Revhead]

they do

[wanado13's]

how much stronger are gze rods than silvertop? does anyone know and if so by how much?

[Mr Revhead]

they are the same rod.
the earlier ze rod is bigger though
