4agze rebuild Options

[Culpable04]

I completely admire the design and thoughts put on this, and I said it before, I would have done it turbo only, for simplicity sake, less piping, easy to find leaks ( if any ever pops up ) but I understand a turbo only set-up would not have the torque line this set-up will have. and thanks for the clarifycation on the Vw set-up, I didn't know it was a 1.4 with 170 hp.


Keep up the good work, we all look forward to see this completed and with excellent results.

well a couple of times, it almost turned into a turbo only build. it has been a pain to keep the turbo and supercharger. im trying to build something rare and 4agte's aren't rare but the twincharges are rare and even rarer in a 7th gen. We are seriously hoping to hear it crank this weekend

What is the ABV mod you are talking about for the blitz pulley?

[Corolla_TC]

ABV mod

click link. the HKS pulley came with directions to do it but my motor that I imported, had the pulley already on so.... and i never knew about the ABV mod until about a year ago

How is the motor going to take 20-25 psi of boost. What pistons are you using? What internals have you changed?

wow - just stumbled upon this and i must say hats off to you guys

the region you are in i imagine fbodies and the likes are the "in" thing - and like you said a grocery getter rolla is just a laughing stock

glad to see you guys are using your heads instead of just slappin some parts on based on someone elses power recipe.


...runs over to club4a to fall in love with the 4age's again lol

we didn't change any of the internals on the bottom end because of how bulletproof the gze bottom end is. the rods and crank are forged, the pistons are forged and coated. so we put a 2.0mm HKS head gasket and a bigport head on and called it a day.


the fbodies are definately big down here. my buddy has a ws6 with a cam that I am calling out first. I took out his stage 2 srt-4 with the 1st twincharge build that was pushing 215whp

well we got a good bit done this weekend. got the manifold mounted, turbo and wastegate mounted onto the manifold, oil cooler adapter put on the block, harness installed and tucked, intercooler piping mocked up. doesn't seem like much but with this being so custom, we keep running into small issues that have to be ironed out. i'll get some more pics up soon

[Corolla_TC]

Got the FPR and all the fuel lines done. Put in the one way valve (which you can't see cause we are tight like that), T-pipe, and filter. Got some more wiring done. Hoping to post up some pics with all the intercooler piping done later.

[Corolla_TC]

We all the intercooler piping is mocked up and clamped in.

Looks like a jumble of goodie goodness. Mad props dude

[Neil_Y]

awesome

[Corolla_TC]

got the radiator mounted. shubert spent a lot of time making perfect brackets out of aluminum. got us some good clearance and nice positioning. we also got the belts on, vac lines done and some other misc things done. all we really have left is a little bit of wiring and buttoning up small things to get it cranked. still got work to do before it hits the road though

That's a top job you're doing there, i've got a similar plan coming together - Silvertop + Rotrex + plan to turbo.
Where did yoy get the oil filter re-location kit? I'm having no luck finding 1 in the UK.

[Corolla_TC]

I got it off of ebay. it was an oil cooler and relocation kit together. we got it started but it still isn't driveable.

[K20VFX]

Yeah, e-bay is good. I knew if I asked someone then they would appear on e-bay and have, got 1 coming next week. keep this thread running I want to hear your engine on utube.
