crunk81us Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) 4age in ke20 http://www.rollaclub...ther-4age-ke20/ i'm going to have to do exhaust manifold anyway.. I am going to want the turbo eventually. I have oil lines on the block (ae92 oil cooler) If i do it now i can allow for piping etc when i do engine mounts etc.. On the downside i have never done my own conversion before, will the turbo make it a real nightmare? will i ever finish it lol? Oh I forgot to mention i have a genuine td05 13g in perfect condition and i can buy a top mount rwd manifold for $140... Edited June 28, 2012 by crunk81us Quote
springersrolla Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 Oh I forgot to mention i have a genuine td05 13g in perfect condition and i can buy a top mount rwd manifold for $140... you pretty much answered your own question Quote
crunk81us Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 oh oops. td04.. and u could be right ^ :) Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 I don't think you'll find many people on RC that ever think it's not time to turbo :lol: The only reason I can think of not to is if you plan to get this engineered. But I think you would get stickered if you engineered without turbo then added the turbo... Quote
snot35 Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 I guess the only other considerations would be, what computer are you using and is it a turbo block? The compression on NA AGE's is getting up there for turbo and the computer probably won't handle it well. The injectors are probably too small too. If you've got that covered then the answer would have to be a resounding yes :) Quote

If you've got that covered then the answer would have to be a resounding yes :) I think in qld i can engineer it with a turbo.. i have to have a chat to a mate of a mate who happens to be a mod plate engineer dude. I was going to get it going on the standard computer (before i got the turbo idea) It is a n/a smallport block, and tbh i don't really know what is inside it. I was told it had forged internals and all balanced and was a 'freak' of an engine. I don't really know if i believe it, i'll be happy if its just a good standard runner. If they went to the trouble of forged pistons, is it likely they bumped up the compression ratio while they were at it? Edited June 28, 2012 by crunk81us Quote
crunk81us Posted June 28, 2012 Author Report Posted June 28, 2012 i assume i can't run the standard computer even if i keep boost down? Quote
