4AGE 20v Options

[turboinduction]

Hey everybody!

I need some help. I'm looking for aftermarket potential on the 20v silvertop. Something other than "Blitz turbo" and "why not blacktop." Because I cant afford the Blitz turbo and the blacktop is weak IMO after doing research. I need something like internals, manifolds, etc. Any help is appriciated.

Like I said earlier, the pistons work, they just turn the motor into an interference motor. You have to have them machined if you want them to not hit the valves if a timing belt breaks.

sorry Chris, I reread what I wrote. I wasn't asking a question, I was moreorless pondering my possibilites. Like "new pistons or cut pistons?.. what to do what to do... even though I did ask a direct question - I knew the answer I was just thinking outloud

Do you know if Toda will make custom pistons? Because they already have an AE101 kit available, just at a high compression.

Also I understand what your talking about with the belt and the pistons hitting the valves... but I've never heard the term interference motor until your first post. What exactly is that? More forward... do people run engines like this?

EDIT: I went ahead and did some research. Apparently, many companies make motors like this to cut emissions and quiet down the engine. This way the engine can be smaller, more effective, and quieter. However, with every advantage, there is a disadvantage. The timing belt doesn't even have to break, but slip causing the timing to be off just a bit. And whammo. Luck of the draw I guess.
