Twin-charged 4AGZE (40+ pics!), Supercharged and Turbocharged Options

[Dr_Tweak]

First question you all are going to ask is, why is the turbo way over there? The turbo is so big that it literally would not fit between the radiator support and the engine. So I built an up-pipe to go from the manifold to the turbo.













This is a 3/4" turbo drain, which is huge, but I wanted to make 100% sure that there wasn't a draining problem.













The downpipe....





Inlet and outlet of the radiator modified...







This monster is a 3000cfm fan (not a typo).





This intercooler is the real thing... Garrett core, 3 1/2" thick....

all im sayin is Werd. That thing is nuts. Any plans for doing a twin charged celica??

I'd be happy to do one, but there aren't many people out there with a 4AGZE swap (maybe, three, including one that I did?), and not many people want to take their engine this far. Dickster is planning on bringing his back down to me to do a pulley, cams, piggyback, and tune, that will be interesting.

dont take this the wrong way, but with the amount of money people are spending here, i think they deserve a cleaner looking engine bay. cleaning or painting the valve cover would make a world of difference in that car.

I think Dr.tweak is doing a great job. He is not wasting time on the unnessary stuff. This way he can cut cost and give the owner the most bang for the buck. If it was up to me, i would want to swap in the engine with no maintains done (seals/fluid changes). That way I can do it myself and feel like I actually did something to help my car. I mean, I'm sure if the owner wanted it, he would have paid/asked tweak to do it for him.

back on topic. WOW at first, i was like. that is alot of IC pipes. then i remember this is a dual charged beast LOL.

whats up with the hacked up radiator support?

Thanks for the comments The intercooler piping was pretty interesting, and I wasn't sure at first how to go about setting them up, but it turned out extremely well. I've got some plans for the radiator support, the car is, in reality, far from finished, but I wanted to show what we've been up to with it.

hehe tweek, looks like that thing would be a fun ride...
who cares if its clean or not, if its FAST, it dont matter

Yeah actually, I forgot to mention, it's running the E58 with LSD, so it should get really good traction too. I'm looking forward to running it on the dyno, but I'm not sure if that will be sooner or later, since the short block needs to be replaced or rebuilt (bad compression numbers).
