ae85 fiend Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Discussion for: //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/36637-gostlys-7agte-20v-ae85-built-on-student-allowance/ Here, any help/ tips/ hate/ advice would be greatly appreciated. Will finish loading up the pictures/ better write up as the time goes on. PLEASE NOTE >.> I'm no way mechanically minded lol, so yeaaaah I tend to have to pay my mechanic/ help him out with building it for me.. Aim is to be around the 300hp mark and weighing 900kg's if not lighter, with a half cage amongst other things... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1JZGE Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Sounds pretty bloody sweet, I want a 7AGTE, if anything, even a 7AGE in my wagon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNathan Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Very cool mate. My neighbor has built a 7age with link and t28. Completely stock bottom end but a few other tricks. Got it tuned a few months ago making 280hp on about 9psi. In a kp61. You'll love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae85 fiend Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 very nice mate. Love a budget build being as tight as i am, looking forward to the numbers. Thanks mate! yeah, trying to be as budget as I can without sacrificing too much as I need to kinda get whatever I put into it back when the time comes for either a house deposit or pay off student loan lol. I've got a $10,000 budget on it at the moment, and have priced everything minus paint for just under that, so planning on trying to be as tight as possible haha.Upwards of the $6,300 mark at the moment Haha.

ae85 fiend Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yep that sounds like him, top bloke he is. Yeah, he was a GC, told me how to fit the plenum properly, how exactly what to grind off to make it fit perfectly and even told me how to prep it which is majorly helpful.

NicT Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Seen the MPR 9age kit? Designed by a New Zealander and manufactured by CP Pistons, bumps the 7age to 1900cc. Looks the business. Bit outside your budget though. I have a few mates who ran 7age's back in the day and they all had a problem smashing cranks. What do you plan to do with the car?

xsspeed Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 yeah it sounds like he met Barry to get rods, keen to see how his "9age" kit goes on his car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ae85 fiend Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Yeah man, I saw that 9age kit... Wish I had the extra coin to do it, but in the end.. I'm a student, have a loan, and can not justify selling my ke35 just to buy that kit... Its bloody awesome though... Ideally, I just want a turbo'd car I can have fun with ( never driven a turbo'd car before lol ) I also want to be able to use it occasionally as a track car/ street car/ Hori Dori days... Haha, but yeah, I've always loved the 85/86's and just want something thats not the typical 16v/20v thats dumped in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1JZGE Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I am disappoint with your pictureless update. None of that nonsense please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 dude you can see straight away the stroke is different on those cranks. The big end journals are spaced further away than the main journals. 4A stroke is 77mm while 7A stroke is 85.5mm. There should be a 4.25mm difference from the main journal to big end journal between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
