So I was thinking somewhere along the line that since I still have the long block from my 7AFE and the 4age. Im planning to turn the 20V head and mate it onto the 7afe block and make a 20V 1.8L Hybrid engine. 7AGE 20V turbo. Dyno #'s are unknown and im not sure if its even possible, but considering the fact that 4age 20V internals are hard to come by, if not even next to an rich $$$ impossible. So if I do plan to do this, I need a good daily driver car and some funds, but when I have both Im gonna attempt this and see what turns out.
-------------------------- 1.) Heres my plans, forged turbo pistons of 1.8L. + Using the 1.8 block I can find many support and hardware that will fit this American Block. + I get to keep A/C, P/S on the old 7afe engine. - Using the 1.8L, I will lose those high revving power of the 4age block, but will compensate it with the turbo. The 1.8L is more of a block made for combustion and not performance, so the Turbo will use it as a power house for HP figures. ------------------------------ 2.) 4AGE 20V head, Using Toda's website I can find the short block parts elimanating the need to search for the long block internal parts. + 20V head, 3 Valve intake and 2 exhaust. Elimante VVT with cam shaft that will cover the 3rd valve when VVT opens. So I get 3 constant valves and VVT running during the whole operation. - Timing belt issue, oil issue, what am I gonna do for spark? ---------------------------- 3.) Megasquirt EMS, something cheap yet something that will work with the hybrid systems. + can be tuned, cheap and effective + Spark could be Ford EDIS system. - hard to build, and no support on hyrbid issues. - Ford Edis, will provide many failures, or trials and errors. ---------------------------- 4.) Turbo system, + More power for the combustion of 1.8L - Must build my own header that will support the 20V head for turbo apps. ---------------------------- 5.) Time, wat am I gonna do?? Im in school and must also work! ------------- What do you guys think? Is it possible. I have the two engines now and when I can find someone who is willing to sell me a complete 7afe engine with everything still attached to it. I will begin my experiment. But if I can find a daily driver now, I will take out the 4age and see if it will work with the 7afe block. |
