Twin-charged 4AGZE (40+ pics!), Supercharged and Turbocharged Options

[Dr_Tweak]

First question you all are going to ask is, why is the turbo way over there? The turbo is so big that it literally would not fit between the radiator support and the engine. So I built an up-pipe to go from the manifold to the turbo.













This is a 3/4" turbo drain, which is huge, but I wanted to make 100% sure that there wasn't a draining problem.













The downpipe....





Inlet and outlet of the radiator modified...







This monster is a 3000cfm fan (not a typo).





This intercooler is the real thing... Garrett core, 3 1/2" thick....

maybe its time to invest in a sand blaster?

Comments for pics added.

This is a '94 Corolla, AE101 4AGZE swap, twin-charged, running the stock supercharger on a Blitz pulley and a T3/T4 50 trim turbo. We've got a few final tweaks that need to be made to get it on the road, which should be next week if everything we need shows up.

The owner has some ideas for blinging up the engine bay, my job was simply to make the car go fast.

This is what the engine bay looked like around this time last year.

Don't forget to post up some numbers Doc. I wonder what the final results would be like on a twin-charged motor. I have always wondered if it was even possible to turbo a supercharged motor, again anythings possible. I honestly thought the motor won't be able to handle the excess boost.

dont take this the wrong way, but with the amount of money people are spending here, i think they deserve a cleaner looking engine bay. cleaning or painting the valve cover would make a world of difference in that car.

How much money did this person spend?

and was he paid to clean ? Noo... he was paid to turbo... Do you pay to a waitress and expect her to wipe your a** too ?

[Valo666]

all im sayin is Werd. That thing is nuts. Any plans for doing a twin charged celica??

I think Dr.tweak is doing a great job. He is not wasting time on the unnessary stuff. This way he can cut cost and give the owner the most bang for the buck. If it was up to me, i would want to swap in the engine with no maintains done (seals/fluid changes). That way I can do it myself and feel like I actually did something to help my car. I mean, I'm sure if the owner wanted it, he would have paid/asked tweak to do it for him.

back on topic. WOW at first, i was like. that is alot of IC pipes. then i remember this is a dual charged beast LOL.

whats up with the hacked up radiator support?

[presure2]

hehe tweek, looks like that thing would be a fun ride...
who cares if its clean or not, if its FAST, it dont matter

I'd be happy to do one, but there aren't many people out there with a 4AGZE swap (maybe, three, including one that I did?), and not many people want to take their engine this far. Dickster is planning on bringing his back down to me to do a pulley, cams, piggyback, and tune, that will be interesting.

Thanks for the comments The intercooler piping was pretty interesting, and I wasn't sure at first how to go about setting them up, but it turned out extremely well. I've got some plans for the radiator support, the car is, in reality, far from finished, but I wanted to show what we've been up to with it.

Yeah actually, I forgot to mention, it's running the E58 with LSD, so it should get really good traction too. I'm looking forward to running it on the dyno, but I'm not sure if that will be sooner or later, since the short block needs to be replaced or rebuilt (bad compression numbers).

It's definetely on my mind, I already almost chopped a finger off a couple of times!

Currently running the stock 4AGZE ECU with an SMT6 piggyback. Once everything else is squared away, we're going to drop in some 550cc injectors and dyno-tune it, that setup should work quite well into the 20 psi range.

Awesome job, Doc! BTW, since you have a filter underneath, would a bypass (or whatever its called) be needed to avoid hydro-lock? I couldn't see it in the pic of the top view (the pipes confused me! )

[Dr_Tweak]

I was going to run one at the turbo, but the filter is over 10" off the ground, and I don't suspect that this guy is going to be driving through more than a foot of water anytime soon.... so we'll see.
