forgies

[hohmann]

Hi, i was wondering where can i get the gear to mmake a 4agte handle about 16-25 pound of boost. i remember reading one in autosalon issue 55 or 56 or something like that. it could easily beat GTR's and stuff. i was going to do the CA conversion but sounds to be alot of fucking around.. so im thinking of buyin a 4age and working on it for a few months or something... then once its ready throw it in the sprinter.

should be able to order forged inturnals straight from a toyota workshop. its just 4agze stuff

word... it's galled a 4agze dude... built to boost...

GZE Pistions are Forged, this is what your after..

[hohmann]

so your saying if i buy a 4AGZE it will "come" with internal forgies... ? can i still turn it into a 4agte

[Ru-iki]

Are GZE pistons really forged? Or are they really well cast and then coated, as thats what I thought. You cant beat a good set of aftermarket forgies. Get rods too if you can afford it.

[hohmann]

haha i cant afford it as of yet, but as i said its gunna be a few month long prject just on the enigne.

Most people wouldn't build a 4agte without starting with a gze block.

The pistons are forged, stock block will hold 20psi all day. (tuning of corse)

[verm69]

ze's have better cranks, better rods, better block, better pistons... but the head is the same...

Yes, most people who go 4agte start with a ze. They have said to be able to run 20psi standard without too many dramas...

GZE pistons aren't forged, they are hypereutectic (that's the correct spelling), i had a GZE piston cut up for an in-depth look after i heard reports that they weren't forged.

They are also coated, not that it matters though, as this coating wears off after a few thousand k's

Quote below is in regards to 'forged vs. hypereutectic'

So yeah. Cool pistons uleh. They are also a damn competitive price and great for high-boost/turbocharging. Go for gold.
