  1. do you need to run a turbo inlet restrictor in the class you intend to run in?

    If so, that will limit the power a 4ag will make.

    I have no idea. I dont even know what Im going to run it in yet. Probably the Hillclimb out at Mt Cotton (anyone know if there is a website for this?), and events like Targa.

    Basically, I want to build a (reasonably) street legal road rally car.

    I dont want a 6 or 8 cos they use too much fuel.

    I dont want big and bulky cos theyre slow unless they got uber huge amounts of power n torque.

    I dont really want FWD as tehy torque steer with a bit of power.

    I dont really want a RWD as they oversteer with a bit of power.

    So that leaves......................A 4wd or AWD.

    I could always go a Brumby, and put in the EJ20T, Id gain that oh so lovely burble, but then Id have to go find a Subaru forum (Not hard, Im registered on 2)....And then Id have to get a brumby.

    But I wanted to be original. How many done up Sierras do you see? Like onroad done up......?

    Does that make sence?

  2. hmms...it is certainly possible to get 300-400kw but you are talking cubic dollars.

    basically you have to decide what it is for (which you seem to know) and what car it is going into (again u seem to know) and then what you can get away with.

    ie. a FWD circuit car would have some issues with 300kw, but a rwd one less so.

    the main issue is for even 'just' 300kw you are going to get a very savage boost ramp and a likely small powerband. The only form of motorsport i can see that been good for is drag-racing, and probably speed-boats (tho i have no grounding on them)

    anything with corners you would be likely fighting the car on exit has the boost ramps up and tries to kill you B)

    It will be in a RWD setup.

    may i ask what the car is going to do? street, drag, drift...? because i think if you do get 300-400kw it wont be very easy to live with, and very not streetable(cause of the power to weight thingy). anyway have you thought about a rotary motor? they are pretty small and powerful

    Its for a road rally car.

    The main reason for using the 4AGE is its 1.6L, which is max size I can go.

    That power to weight ratio is important to me. Light, Small, and Nimble are what Im after, with a bit (ok..... Lots) of Fast thrown in for good measures.

    AFAIK, rotarys arent able to be put in Sier..............oops, that wasnt sposed to come out.

  3. Hi guys.

    Just a few things from me tonight.

    1. Is 3-400kW an ok power figure to expect from a fully worked 4AGZE? :P

    2. What sort of turbo setup would be best suited to this kind of power figures?

    3. Would the motor handle it?

    Im not giving too much away. So dont bother asking what its going in, what its for, or why..........then again............

    Why? Because I can. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

    Since its a 4AGZE its supercharged (yea I noe I'm captain obvious lol), so r u saying u want to take the supercharger out or run a twincharger system???

    O and btw 3-400Kw is huge man not to dishearten u (and b a scepticist) but ur gona hav to spend an absolute fark-load of money to get a 4AGZE to that level of power (if its even possible)

    No supercharger, Just I heard somewhere that the Z motor is stronger then the normal 4AGE.

    Money wont be an issue, Just mean I have to save up for longer.

    Problem is defining fully worked...

    Not a single thing left to modify?

    thats alot for a small motor,and the gearbox..watch out for the gearbox..

    Gearbox wont be a problem. The only standard thing on it will be the outer casing. (Its getting either Straightcut or Strengthened Helical gears).

    midnightsky6789@hotmail.com

    I have added br3d and Danthuyer on the latter. But I am available on both.

  6. So 40 bucks gets you all that.

    Some of us lower people probably think its not worth it.

    I dont think I will cos I dont ul photos much and I empty my box every week. but thats just my opinion. Sorry guys but I think Ill jsut stay a lower dude.

  7. very much like bob the builder.
