4ag(z)e questions!
Mon, 12 September 2005 09:49
another radical idea from me! well its probably not that radical and could well be pointless but here goes...
i currently have a red and black top 4age (large port) and am after some forced induction ive always been thinking of doing a GZE conversion but after much reading and that ive seen that these motors dont come too cheap (correct me if im wrong).. i want supercharged rather than turbo because of the different factor so here is where my question lies..
i want to supercharge my current engine but need to know what modifications are required to make it suitable to run boost.. obviously i need some stronger pistons but what else internally (and externally?) do i need to modify to make it safe to run boost (relatively low)?
also i was thinking of running the SC14 (1GGZE) supercharger i believe its called just because i can, or correct me if i cant because i havnt done research into this..
the engines in an ae82 so i need to know if there will be sufficient room to add these parts into the engine bay..
so yeah any and all help would be greatly appreciated!! cheers
if youve got a bigport motor the gze stuff would bolt on without mods. youd need to move the alternator, just get a gze bracket. as for the motor holding out, just whack the stuff on and find out... i wouldnt go building yours to take boost when you could just go out and buy a gze motor complete..
