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

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
