who has drifted with a 7ag??

[trikzlane]

talk to felix, i believe he had one in his car once

[Delazy]

id certainly hope that i dnt have any kind of troubles with the money being thrown at it, itll have everything basically and be tuned rather safe...

everything is being taken into account...oiling system, bullshit cooling, lightweight components, billet crank...but yeh, definately a fun process without throwing money at yager to build one of there proven IPRA packages...

pfffttt...engine will be built soonish...unless i decide to go with the billet crank...give me 18months and i rkn we'll be finished...lend me 20g's and we'll be done within 6 months..

for the price of aftermarket rods its definately worth the effort...i paid good money for the lightest reasonably priced rods i could in the belfab ones...spool ones are quite affordable, but ive managed to track down some quite reasonable ones down for less than $400AUD...

the problem with the rod bolts is the fact that generally the stock rod bolts pull out of the rods...a few ppl have machined the rod to accept a 4age style rod bolt but for the hassle prolly alot easier to purchase aftermarket rods and get ARP's or similar...

lol, i was joking lazy!
yours will be sick when finished! i just wanna get back into a 4a powered bus for the next two rounds and looking at my options, my old carb fed bigport struggled and the 20v was mint for power but is prob a bit over what i wanna spend on my car

[Delazy]

til the day its all together,running and im happy with it, ill bite my tongue...itll look shit hot no doubt about that...but engine wise...we'll see...playing with a emgome combo that isnt exactly proven yet and spending alot of money doing so isnt a "safe feeling"...but cars, we love them for that reason

think im going to get the tunnel refabbed slightly larger during the process to replace it with a nice clean workable sr20/beams conversion when it proves me wrong and everyone else right and blows up big time...

Nick teeboon had a 7AGE (standard, NA styles, with smallport pistons instead of the 7A ones) .. went well, then he upgraded to 4AGTE or something

And that red caldina (?) in NZ has also been drifting one for a while, turbo'd as well. No engine problems so far. See first vid for awesomes

[Intense]

Don't 7afe's have a pretty low redline around the 6k mark? Is this limited by the flow of the head or by the strength of the pistons and bottom end, considering it's just a stroked 4afe.

And theirs lots of talk of engines failing, but what specific part failed? Like on Lukes ae86, what happened to the 7age in that? Was it a bottom end bearing or did it do something cool like blow a hole in the block?

pretty sure this is a blacktop 7age with 220hp +80hp nos.


ok sorry its a hks stroker 5ag

ok looking at that video before could i just say this

Just because an engine CAN rev to 8800rpm doesnt mean it should.

id say a 7age that gets revved to that regularly it wouldnt last very long

[Delazy]

i disagree...i think its more of a case that no1 does it properly...everyone sees them as a "cheap" torque increase and dnt think it over...

guys in NZ have been building them for awhile and quite successfully so it seems...

quite interested in seeing how grantobius goes with his...
