How much power can a 4AGE handle?

How much power can a 4AGE handle?

Registered. I’d say your fairly safe boosting a 4age to around the 190-200hp range but thats going to require spot on tuning the slightist case of detonation is going to shatter your ringlands so don’t skimp get good injectors, a megasquirt , good wideband and a great tune.

What is a turbo log manifold?

A turbo manifold is a series of runners, or pipes, that collect exiting exhaust gases which can then be channelled into a merge collector. A flange is needed to bolt the turbo to the manifold, and this is welded/cast to the merge collector.

What are turbo manifolds made out of?

Mild steel, or carbon steel, pipe and weld els are on average about 35% cheaper than their 304L stainless steel counterparts, handle the thermal expansion of a turbo manifold well, and can be welded up with a simple MIG welder with ease.

Is the 4AGE a good engine?

The 4AGE is a great engine. You’ll still get at least 30 mpg, which definitely isn’t bad, but the engine alone is not so finicky as to be unable to be driven on the road… remember, in Japan these engines came in a lot of daily driver cars.

What is a black top engine?

A Blacktop engine is an interference engine unlike all other A series engines. Although the pistons are initially interchangeable physically they aren’t practically as a Silvertop with Blacktop pistons has a very high compression and quite low when the combination is reversed.

Are 4AGE reliable?

Yeah, the 4AGE is definitely good enough to be a daily driver and should last for many hundreds of thousands of miles. Throw some good hardware on outside the engine and you’ll definitely see more power than a blacktop would have given you for the same price.

What is the best material to make a turbo manifold?

321 tubing, stabilized with titanium, is an excellent choice for most turbo applications due to the increased material strength at high temperatures. For systems with higher EGTs one should consider using Inconel.

How thick should a turbo manifold be?

The most common pipe size wall thicknesses, or schedules, when building a turbo manifold are Schedules 5, 10, and 40. Although there are many other possible schedules, depending on the nominal size and type of material, these three are the most common when talking about turbo manifolds.

Do you need new headers for a turbo?

no need for a header. and make sure the exhaust is at least 2.5″ in diameter.

Can you use headers with a turbo?

You technically can. It would have to be a custom turbo system that mounts the turbos somewhere in the exhaust after the header collector. Something like the STS turbo system. But most (if not all) aftermarket companies utilize the stock exhaust manifolds, because they work properly with most people’s power goals.
