My ae71 4agte!!

[Nic19]

well i'm pretty bored so i thought i would start a thread on my ae71.
i brought it a few months ago as an auto and it was stock as a rock.
i had plans of just putting in a smallport and do some suspension mods but it ended up like this.

Engine:
the engine was a smallport that needed a head freshen up. i ended up building it to handle some boost and to these specs.
head was just a stock rebuild
>acl race bearings
>balanced rods
>genuine 4agze pistons and rings (8.9:1 cr)
>used a full acl race series gasket set.
>cut n shut manifold
>kkr280 turbo with external gate
>microtech LT10s with x4 bosch coils
>550cc rx7 injectors
>280x300x76 intercooler
>camry radiator with twin thermos
>bosch style 910 pressure pump
>vl high volume in tank pump set-up
>8mm fuel feed line and using stock supply for return

Driveline:
getting upgraded asap!!
>t50, HD organic clutch
>stock diff to be locked

Interior:
>stock except for
>twinky steering wheel
>guages as seen in pic (oil press, water temp and boost)
think thats all

Exterior:
>2 sets of ma61 wheels
> front guards welded onto rear

suspension is just chopped springs for now.
i do have tein camber tops but havnt put them in yet

plans are; (in order of when i wanna do them, hopefully get all the suspension and driveline upgrades done asap)
tarago locked diff
w55 gearbox conversion
custom steering arms
ae86 coilovers up front with decent brakes as the stock ones fade BIG time
xt130 LCA's
falcon choppies in the rear with commodore shocks.
some decent seats
flat front and chrome bars
maybe some 15x8 superlights or challengers

the car is currently on a run in tune and it should be getting a final tune in the next week or 2. it needs an adjustable fuel pressure reg as its running 50psi fuel pressure and it should be lower.

i will upload pics tonight and more details.

stay tuned

Nic

special thanks to
TTG for the help with finishing the conversion
Nath for wiring the thing
JDI fabrication for the fab work
and finally maztech for the tuning

[Sprinter86]

Love this thing, cant wait for final power figures. should be sick

[Nic19]

now with pics

[Jdm070]

nice dude. :D

are you running spacer at all? what size tires are on it?

The ma61s look real good on it!

[Nic19]

no spacers at the moment, i really need about 25mm but im gonna wait till the tarago diff is in then work out the offset.
yeh the rear 61's look good cos i painted the cut outs black, havnt done the fronts yet lol.

[shift_rook]

love it man, cn't wait tilll after the tune

[stahlz_ae86]

Lol at the reflection in the window of first pic. Cooler behind grille + green P = jackbait. Car's lookin' sweet since I last saw it.

[marvis]

Nice, aside from the suspension.. lol

That turbo is cute.

[Robo86]

nice as man, engine build is sweet, nice parts :)

[Nic19]

is it normal for a fresh engine to be blowing some blue smoke?? my only guess is thats its from the bedding in process? its only done just over 400kms since the full rebuild?

stahlz the cooler is getting painted black so that it doesnt stand out like dogs balls. but the green P's dont help!!

as for the turbo it will do fine for now till the suspension is up to scratch.

[reecegze]

Hey nice car mate.. You got any pics of the car front on ? I wanna see where the intercooler sits and did you have to remove the radiator to bonnet support.

[corknose]

That turbo is cute.


haha + 1 looks kinda stupid just sitting out there like that:sunnies:

[Nic19]

i will try get a pic of the cooler front on. no i didnt remove any of the support work in the front. only cutting was to allow air to flow to the rad better.

turbo spools up really quick, its got awesome response. i will see how it goes on the dyno and i might change it to something bigger and go for around 190-200rwkw

[ae86]

car looks tops man!, don worry bout big numbers, response is where its at!

[addikt]

yer man mine had 150-160rwkw at about 15 pound fuk tht is fast in a rolla bro u wont need 200,my m8 has a rb20 in his and its just stupid

[reecegze]

Just remember 200 kw is at 7000+ rpm and in 4th gear. I rather 160kw in 3rd gear 4000rpm. Much more useable power on street/track


yer man mine had 150-160rwkw at about 15 pound fuk tht is fast in a rolla bro u wont need 200,my m8 has a rb20 in his and its just stupid

[Nic19]

yeh well its the last of my worries at the moment. i will see wat it makes and then go from there.

first things first i wanna get the driveline and suspenion out of the way.

how do people rate tarago diffs with this power figure??

also had a leak on the oil return due to silicone hose, now about to change it to flame proof rubber.

only 380 more kms till re tune :D

what oil should i run in this thing??

[Nic19]

cooler and piping have now all been painted black to help keep things stealthy looking.

also replaced the silicone hose on the oil return to proper flame proff oil rated hose.

also got a pic of the cooler/radiator mounting.

[R&D Mechanical]

Good stuff mate, i did the same with my intercooler, looks so much better and you cant even see it with the bumper on!

[Nic19]

yeh i know, it stands out soo much when its polished finish! now it just looks like its meant to be there!

[slide_style]

nice car mate, with your blue smoke issuse its normal normal for fresh motors to blow abit of blue smoke and they they tend to breathe abit heavy as well, make sure you are putting some load on the engine eg: (hills driving) to help bed in the rings

[Nic19]

yeh have been loading it up over the hills and what not. just loadin it up wen driving normal and keeping the revs never the same.

had it not idle very well after going through the hills thurs night. my guess is that its cos the intake side of the cooler piping was ice cold and the engine was normal temp. would this cause this problem??

[Nic19]

well iam picking up some sprinter struts, brakes and lines next week. so hoping to install them with my tein camber tops and possibly my sigma control arms as soon as i can.

i should be getting back to the dyno towards the end of this week to get my final tune and some power figures!!!

[tc-rolla]

hey champ nice e7! looks great! repping melb too lol.
just wondering, were the photo's in your 1st post taken in lilydale industrial estate?

keep it up! ben.

[sonsta]

good to see your getting some suspension work done to it!!

[Nic19]

tc-rolla thanks man. yeh it was taken out the front of my mates work in the industrial estate. good eye.

sonsta. i have all the plans for it btu just money holding me back.

PS. the car is booked in friday to get an air temp sensor put in, sard fuel pressure reg installed and final tune.

[tc-rolla]

cheers. yeah i thort it looked familuar.
who's doing your tuning if you dont mind me asking?

cheers. ben.

[Nic19]

Maztech

[Nic19]

picked up my ae86 struts today so i will hopefully clean them up and put them in with my sigma arms while i save some money to get the steering arms modded, the coilover sleeve kit, kyb inserts and rx7 brake set-up. i already have the fc calipers tein camber tops and the arms so shouldnt be too long :D

[Nic19]

picked this up from the final tune today and it makes 185rwkw on 15psi from the lil kkr280. also got the fuel pressure reg mounted and set-up so it runs really good now. only issues i have is there is a hole in the inlet manifold welding, and also just need to re route my battery cable line.

now i gotta get off my ass and do the suspension.

[reecegze]

Pretty good results mate. You got a dyno graph pic wanna see your curve.. What was the reason for the Fuel pressure reg was the car leaning out ? is it a raising rate also.

[Nic19]

i will get a dyno graph asap. prob have it on the weekend as i left it at the place! dammit! the fuel pressure reg was fitted to reduce fuel pressure as im running rx7 550's there was too much pressure to them and was running on the rich side.

[shift_rook]

so.... take me for a drive?

[Hokey]

bring it roudn nick!!!!!!!!!!! must feel the 4age power :D

[DRFTR86]

185 not bad mate, good job

[Nic19]

yeh i will get down there sometime cal. i am going to jakes on sat so will def be there then otherwise will try get down there tonight sometime.
yeh chris i will come take you for a spin soon.

[Sprinter86]

come round to TTG tonight, im keen for some 4agte fun again!

[Nic19]

you should get urs going so there is MORE 4agte fun to be had!!

[Nic19]

played around with my set of skid ma61's what you gusy like better??

[Zach]

All black looks the best!

[shift_rook]

spray em red

[Zach]

But he does already have a red car...wonder what white would look like?

[shift_rook]

exactly, red car, red rims, would look gangsta, white would also be nice, i dunno aboue white ma61's touhgh, might look wierd

[Zach]

Yeah. He should just paint each one a different color to test them all!

[Nic19]

UPDATE!!!!
i made a tacho booster thingo, so now my stock tacho in the dash works off the microtech which is awesome!!!!
also installed some speakers into the rear parcel tray.
dropped plug gaps to .6mm to try get rid of the miss at about 4700rpm.

[Sprinter86]

I dont want to live in a world where ma61's get painted red and white.

*LOADS PISTOL, HOLDS TO TEMPLE, PULLS TRIGGER*

[Nic19]

yeh no red and white for me. just black!
also think i fixed my misfire issue now the plugs are re gapped!

[shuvke70]

nice 4agte man

good to see some more e7's out there like this :)

[Hokey]

haha yes i am awesome!

re plug gapping that is :P

[Nic19]

haha now u just need to lock that diff up

[Nic19]

soooo.....

Stock diff is now locked, seems to have lasted so far, i have an r31 diff that im going to set-up in the meantime.

I have now upgraded to the AJPS rx7 front brake set-up, just waiting on rotors.
Front end now has:
sigma LCA's
custom steering arms that provide massive lock
ae86 struts(to be coilovers)
rx7 s5 calipers with the ajps adaptors and civic rotors
tein camber tops

next thing thats getting done is the diff conversion
will be an r31 diff with 4.11 center and minispool
vs brake calipers
and hydro handbrake.

Then i want to get my w55 thats waiting for me into the car!
after this i will get some 15x8 -9 challengers
then fine tune the suspension with bilstein shocks front and rear, front coilovers set-up with 8kg springs rear will have some 6kg springs, then RCA's, swaybars ect

somewhere in that period i wanna put a gt28rs turbo on it!

They are the plans anyway things change so will see how close i can stay to my plans!

[Nic19]

update time!
snapped an axle in the stock diff, so i picked up my 31 diff housing thats been modded to suit the corolla. just need to put it all back together!
it will have vn brakes and a hydro wen i get around to making one up.
i will get some pics up of the job on the diff. its done really really well, great qualiy work.
also the shock mounts have been flipped to run sierra shocks at a decent height.

[Nic19]

someone should buy my ma61 wheels so i can get 15's!!!
throw some offers at me

[Nic19]

I have been working flat out on the car lately. just finished bolting in a w55 with AJPS shifter rebuilt kit through it and new exedy HD button clutch with gze flywheel, just need the tailshaft made, hopefully this week.

also got my cam covers powder coated black and shaved back the letters to silver and custom fitted the spark plug cover to accomodate my leads upto the coils on the firewall. will get pics soon im really happy with how it came up :D

Im buying an oil cooler kit next week with filter relocation so i will fit that up and then hopefully have enough money left to get my garrett gt2860rs.

i will update with pics of enigne bay once i have the turbro on there.

[reecegze]

Read about your misfortune at winton , any reason for why the fresh motor failed ? Was it bearings or detonation

[Nic19]

Think it was detonation. Haven't got the car home yet so can't be sure till it's open but it's dropped compression on one or more cylinders.

[reecegze]

How good was the tune and power it was pulling, let me no how you go cheers

[Nic19]

Tune was supposed to be safe but dunno. It felt fucking fast tho! Will let u know wen I find out.

[jdmke70kid]

hey nick..........yer very nice ae71! neat to same setup i want to do its good seeing other 4agte's so i can get an idea
cheers mate sam

[tc-rolla]

hey man see this kicking round lilydale alot. looking good!
