Re: 2TG/4AG part 2	Tue, 04 June 2002 06:05

Loath as I am to repeat myself, I'll do it. As was pointed out above, I was talking about 2TG and 4AG water systems. Your question - "What is the benefit of the 4AGE design ??" And my answer as before - The 4AG has the thermostat controlling the water going into the block, and so it'll get up to temperature much faster and also maintain that temperature with much greater consistancy. You own a 4AG, so unless there's a problem with yours then you will see the same thing. I'd best explain it further so there's no confusion. By 'getting up to temperature faster' I mean that from cold the water temp needle will reach the operating temperature faster. This is what I've seen with my old 2TG vs the 4AGE's. By a more consistant temperature I mean that the water temperature needle will stay in the same position and not move around like a 2TG powered car does. In driving my 4AG for nearly 12 years I have yet to see the water temp needle move from the left hand part of the 'M' on the guage. Thanks for the info on the valve diameters. What about the 3TG? I seem to remember they're an odd size as well? I had one for a while but I never pulled it apart. "The best time down the quarter for Tina's car so far is 16.052 @ 85.45MPH. Its not a great time but not bad for my third trip to the creek." Then I really should put a stock T-50 back into the car instead of the close-ratio straight cut box, as I did a 14.93 @ 145kph in 1990, with the old engine that has at least 40hp less than the current one. I've also got a shorter diff ratio, an LSD, and much stickier tyres. Should be good for low 14's odd. Don't know why the drag boys would go for a T engine over an A engine, if they stay at 1600cc's, as we already know that a Formula Atlantic 4AG is up around the 240hp mark. Yes, they're expensive but the results are there. If you want to use something more like two litres, then as I've written you're better off using a 3SGE instead as it'll cost less.
