Tys Ae71

[rolledup]

So heres the deal

-Bought this car Stickered, Out of rego but it had a running 4age with a few dodgey minor problems.

-Problems, When i got it, I had a mate pick it up for me and he told me about the brakes not really working and he had to use to hand brake to stop. lol
So once i got it home i took the brakes apart and found out i had ceized front calipers.
It also had a dry brake system with no brake fluid at all.
- The input of the engine is done nice and clean but theres alot of dodgey wiring, For example i have speaker cable running to the alenator just waiting to be shorted out.
-My earth key isolation switch is running from the positive lead instead of the negative lead.
-The Surge tank is a full born cut and shut job.
Most things on the car so far are done well but other things it looks like theyve just cut corners.
There all a easy fix so i dont mind.

-Ive gotten rid of the old clutch fan and have mounted up a single thermo fan for the time bein.
When i find a matching thermo fan ill go twin but the single good enough for now.
Fixed a small waterleak from the by pass valve on the water pump housing.( gotta love cilicone).
Replaced the front calipers and bled the whole system now its sweet as.
Just started measuring up templates to fit in my centre of my dash(next to the speedo)
Im putting a button start there along with a fuel pump switch and manuel thermo fan switch and temp gauge with a warning light telling me when to turn on and turn off.

Cheers bro, What happend with your car anyway? didnt last too long?
Cars looks good in person mate(Y)

[Jman_KE70]

for some reason the clutch wont fully release, it was pretty much riding the clutch the whole night so called it a night pretty early

[rolledup]

Spewing, was keen for some runs. Handled pretty well concidering the suspension im runnning. You gunn go out on the 10th,

[keimeier]

wat motor was the first ke in the last shot with black ma61s running?

[rolledup]

4age :)

Not sure if i will be able to get the 10th off work plus im trying to save for superlap at eastern creek in may.

[rolledup]

Ahk so ypu probably wont do drifto school then? Or?

[ke70 xx]

Yeah the red ke with black ma's is my rig.

[Instigator]

Nice ghetto spec AE, how's the fuel smell in cabin? :hehe:

You've got yourself a Bigport, well head at least.

RWD intake manifold with TVIS butterflys doesn't fit a smallport head. You should notice a surge and change in exhaust note at about 4400rpm when they open.

I just rebuilt my bigport and take it from me it's not worth it. If you want to do it for a learning experience then by all means but you're better off finding another runner or even a whole car for <$500 and dropping that in. Or just keep what you've got and spend the money elsewhere.

[rolledup]

Thanks man, advice taken.
Id probably just buy another engine. Small port 16v i reckon.
Yeah ive noticed the note change.

[joeschmo_57]

at 4400rpm, a bigport 4age turns from a pre-pubescent school girl, into a pimply hormonious teenage boy.

Think about it.

Why would you say its not worth it instigator?

[Instigator]

That metaphor makes no sense whatsoever :S

4ages are a common motor. There's 11ty twin cam rollas on the road and if you hunt enough you can pick up a whole car for under $500 (there's a thread either on here or RC of someone who got a smashed ae92 for $270) or a running motor for less than that.

I spun the big end on #3 in mine due to oil starvation. My own stupid fault yes.

Rebuild costs were:

Gasket kit & rings ~$400
Machining ~$550 (rod closed and honed, rotatating assembly balanced, stock flywheel lightened slightly)
Quick home honing job (free had the tool already)
Sundries $50+

Admittedly you could get away without doing some of that but it's still going to be a $500+ job unless you want to run the risk of getting the wrong gaskets from US eBay. That's doing ALL the labour yourself as well.

As I said, it's not worth it IMHO simply due to the cost and effort involved. If you want to do it for a learning experience as I did then by all means go for it.

Love how you described it :P

[Instigator]

You two obviously wen to the same school of retard then.

Perhaps a more apt one would be - at 4400rpm a Bigport 4AGE turns from a shy flat chested school girl into a wild horny big breasted 20yo with loose morals.

Haha you upped it that bit more.

[joeschmo_57]

it means it goes from being a young girl to a older boy.

when you rebuilt it, did you do it to standard specs? did you do anything headwise or ecu wise?

[rolledup]

Found this
