I am told that oil squirters are great on some of the 4ag blocks. any way to outfit the 7a with them?

Nice rods... I got one of my own while looking at the pics.

[Kwanza26]

Them's is some nice lookin rods... ;]

sowa.. ignition wise, I am ignorant. What is the advantage of running distributorless?

[doGGy]

Acurancy.

Less resistance in wires and lots of other advantages.......

So I have seen the megasquirt guys using the dual coil set up with the EDIS. I've also seen one blacktop guy run four individual coils. That would be nice, I am sure, but how much equipment would be needed?

>heads to club 4ag for tech info

Nik, have you tried lining the B series manifold up the an FE head? I know the GE and FE heads are a little different, will what you did with the manifold work on the FE heads as well?

By the way I have a silvertop here that's going into an AE92 and will be running megasquirt with EDIS ignition, if you guys are interested I'll keep you updated as the project starts.

he purchased a 4age header flange and welded it in place of the B-seriese header flange. You could easily do the same with a f series header flange.


Have you guys seen this?

Yes but is the spacing of the ports pretty much the same?

That's a NICE setup!

sorry guys right after i posted those rod pics i left for a little vaction but im back now

Yeah with the SDS system i'm running 4 coils

i'll try my best to get both the stock and puater specs up

One thing I should ask. Is that a 7AFE head gasket or 4AG? It looks a bit different, cause usually 4AG head gaskets have openings for the two large coolant passages on the back of the block. Just curious...

I would then suggest you get a 4AG gasket instead. The reason those coolant ports are blocked off on the 7AFE is because the 7AFE flows water differently than the 4AG...

[nik]

the coolent ports at the bottom of this pick


the gasket

yeah springs and retainers are in the top end is going together and soon will be mated to the bottom once its all done i'll take a picture and post it

[Kwanza26]

I say you should get a 4AG headgasket, to avoid hot spots in the head. Like I said before, the reason the gaskets are different, is because the 16V head flows water differently than the 4/7AFE/20V. The gaskets will all fit, more or less, but the way the coolant flows is the big difference. You'll notice right away when you put the head on the block that you'll probably need to do something about the water inlet/outlet. The 4/7AFE/20V has both inlet/outlet on the back of the head, while the 4AG typically has one by the water pump, and one in the back of the head. Get what I'm saying?
