4Age Lacking

[crustydemons666]

Mates bringing around another loom and we are gonna loom at mine. Also have a tvis on its way. Car isnt really a daily anymore. It was a yellow sticker job before i did the motor so lets scrap the street car bit. I plan on working it sometime in the future. Will the e-management be a good investment for basic upgrades like cams the throttle bodys, and could it handle a turbo or charger?

thanks for the help also.

From comparing price and features, I would be inclined to go for one of those new haltech sprint 500's. They look like a nice bit of kit. for a simple engine such as the 4age bigport.

 

I would defiantely go completely aftermarket, no piggy back thing.

Alright cool. Ill look into it.

know if it will handle a turbo or charger mod later on?

Yes, depending on what you have in mind you may be limited by the 1bar internal MAP sensor, but you can get a 3bar add-on item. At least, when I last checked them that was the case. :)

Cool cool thanks.

If your doing your compression test correctly then you could expect a bit more than 150 psi. I would suspect cam timing.

 

Warm engine. All plugs out. Wide open throttle and turn it over testing each cylinder.

ah ok, only did a cold test with throttle closed.

Check you TPS too, lots of people overlook it but it can really affect the motors overall performance.
