Twisty's Ae86 sprinter 4age 20v

[Twisty92]

So after finding out that my ecu actually had a leaky capacitor and it's burn't out a circuit i've gone all out and bought a microtech off evil86 in addition I'm going to buy some ram tubes aswell to compliment the 4age roar and make some awesome throttle response

I'm hoping to make around the 140 hp mark

4AGE goodies!


Old engine loom.... fuel pump running off ecu power on?? no wonder why this thing had problems! chopped everywhere


Where are the microtech guru's at?

[Twisty92]

haven't had time to post up for a while but a few things have happened!

so my dash has been finished!

i have finished my interior restoration

i got the 86 registered after something around 2 long years!!
i got some shiny koya ae teks - 15x7 +15 all round off set and they sit awesome in the guards with no clearance issues, i will put pics of them on the car when i take it for a run again

i got reground camshafts - 280 degree duration with 8.9mm lift - not yet in my 20v


however thats where my story goes sour and now i have issues with the engine or the microtech i'm not sure and its not even driveable, runs terrible and flat out going past 4000rpm...so disappointing after sitting for so long and now having it registered

has it been tuned with the microtech?

[Twisty92]

nope, i spent hours on end today trying different things to get it to run i'm literally out of ideas now..the engine won't even start and just backfires like the timing is out, yet valve timing is fine and coils packs are wired correctly along with the injectors, it displays 'error' for rpm and the wierdest thing of all is that is just got worse and worse until it just didn't run!
