skyline geoff just left my place, he was tryin to convince me to mount TWO 4AGE's in a side by side V shape with a sandwich gear which would send power to the gearbox. When I said no that would f**k up weight distribution he then suggested running 2 CA18DET's east west in a configuration similar to an Audi TT twin engine car, one at the front and one at the back, each driving an axle and using sensors to detect wheel rotation and delivering power accordingly.

In the end we just decided to stick to a plain old simple CA18DET mounted north-south.

Ive been trying to convince my mate to remove the black stripe from the side of that car for ages..... this might just convince him for me :)

those black rims set that colour off really well, and the lower lip.... any chance i can find out where you got it????

4age costs about $1000 with loom and ecu

4agze about $1600

4afe bottom for a 1.8L conversion $500

realising that you can just put a CA18DET and get a lot more power... priceless.

Losing the sound of a 4AG(Z)E revving its tits off? A damn shame :P

Lucien.

ae86 in a factory turbo... nah, not according to all the sales catalogues i've got.

In the US the Corolla GT-S, and in europe the Corolla Coupe and in Japan the Levin and Trueno Sprinters, all had non turbo 4AGE's and other n/a variants.

  • 3 weeks later...

nie... locally delivered like ours. I got the trueno headlights in the mail, altho I'll need the fibreglass bonnet and guards to put em on, along with a body kit.

But first I'll concentrate on getting the CA18DET into the car, get my wideband O2 sensor happening and tune the ECU along with the Bee-R rev limiter (so I dun end up blowin the engine at high rev's like chris :)). Just finished gutting the car, next step is to fill the subframe with foaming eurathane to stiffen up the body and then rivet the skin to increase rigidity. For now I'll just run with a bootlid with reduced reinforcement (ie circular drill taking out chunks of the support bars on the boot n bonnet) until I get the fibreglass bonnet n boot. I picked up a 6 point roll cage for $200 (includes bar that goes behind the dash) but I've still gotta get it from japan.

Dunno if I'll run rear strut bar as I don't want the rear to be so still that I lose traction, but I'll probably use a really heavy front strut bar.

As an added bonus I found that my car actually had disc brakes all around and a mild suspension setup (unusual for a locally delivered model that's supposed to come with drum brakes on the rears owned by an old couple.)

Found some orignal tanabe rims on a DR30 in japan, that's the exact same offset, width and nut spacing... 14" diameter by 8" wide, which should be more than sufficient.

Project's comin along nicely... nice pics too upgarage.

Craved: thanks dude! Umm the lip i got off a dude on the Toymods.org forum the email is [email protected] and they do a pretty good kit and other fibreglass goodies for the ae86.

Duncan: I sold mine for 12k but really depends as always what work was done and condition, some are priced crazily some less..

And yeah, never any turbo ones released

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
