Dyno run on my old 16v 4AGE

[Zac]

A mate of mine in Amsterdamn has built one almost exactly the same and his makes 249hp at 9,000rpm on an engine dyno.

phwoar, would love to see the intake setup on that

Phoah, 249hp from an NA 4AGE, rock on!

No, a 4AFE.

Attached are a couple of pics of it in the back of his buggy.

Neat. How does the Lumenition rate? We never see them over here. I guess the market here is full enough of aftermarket ECUs.

[demuire]

That's really neat I would assume it would be best to start with a 4AGE block to get the goodies like oil squirters etc, and then put a 4AFE head on it? You mentioned you could put bigger cams on an F head, what sort of cams are you running in yours?

Have you seen Synchron's computer (from ZTH)? If so, what do you think?

Nah we're using the 7AFE block as they're taller and so the rod:stroke ratio is better with the 4AGE crank and longer rods.
The cans will be a reasonable duration and heaps of lift.
Don't know anything about the Luminition or ZTh box's sorry.

bill for gods sake get a video camera and let us hear that 10,000 rpm goodness

[Tuckerbox]

I'd always heard the G heads were the performance ones, and the F heads were for fuel economy. Or is this just specific to the A engines?

BTW sounds like a damn nice engine you're building there!

my 4AGE pulled 146rwhp on the dyno with the only known mods bieng TRD Cams, Forged Pistons, 18RGU Injectors, ECU Chip, Tuned Lenght Extractors and Cold Air Induction... (engine came from sprinter track car in japan so could have other internal mods i dont know of....) but it is nice and quick in the car and sounds sweet !!

[Guido]

...so...what dyno??

[Cal]

Either it's some huge secret or perhaps it was Bob Romano's :p

Cal.

[Billzilla]

I don't know which dyno sorry. It's one on the Gold Coast though I think.

[Cal]

Ok, thanks. Was just curious. Had some wild variations between a few I used around town last year.
