When I imported my ae111 with the 20 valve and 6 f box, it came with some nice gas. After 6000Rpm it would spit fire like crazy and had the amazing popping sound. Sweet!

Does the toyota efi system for the injectors on the 4A-ge run seqential or batch fire ?

Aarong420 · Postby **Aarong420** » March 18th, 2007, 9:55 pm

my own dont pop

even with a 2.25" strait pipe. I fine it real sluggish doe. sometimes when i have my foot on the gas in one place, it would all of a sudden start to go faster. maby the injectors need some serious cleaning...how to clean the side feeds?

Aarong420 · Postby **Aarong420** » March 18th, 2007, 10:00 pm

good question.
i gotta clean mine, is there any way i can take them out and run them on some sourt of set up? since there side feed i cant seem to find a way to build pressure around it to clean it like top feed injectors.

^^^octane did you use the hks kit or you put down a 'reliable' frankenstein?

Yeah, I get the popping now and then, delicately... not loud and scaring the sheit out of people... and mine is auto and doh get regular roughing up. I also get it with the ZE - without boost. I do believe the engines run slightly rich.

yes it supposed to work
pros u ll prolly get a lil increase
cons it ll cost some change remember youd probably have to use the 4age harness for it to work

imho id go with a full swap

the 4afe and the 4AGe has the same bore and stroke , except the 'G" in GE stands for wide angle sports cam . the Fe is narow angle cam drive tuned for economy not speed.The first generation engines have narrower crankshaft journals as compared to the later type and GZe's that have a 2mm thicker journal area. :idea:

intelligent of toyota to give us a widder bearing suface to whelp with an oiling area for hi =Rpm pulling, not mention clearances.

What could cause a 20 valve to just suddenly start to idle poorly and cut off all the time? You have to hold the brakes and press the gas a lil so it doh cut off when driving

When it idling by itself, it at like 2-300rpm. If you hold the rpms till 900 or 1100, it sounding like it have aftermarket cams :lol:

Anyone? Plugs?, Gas Filter?, Plug Wires?, Air Leak?, Airflow?

Also inside the car, when you driving and let off the gas, you hearing air releasing like it inside the car.

this might be a hunch, but when my 20 valve was operating like that, it was due to a stuck valve and a broken spring. do a compression test on every cylinder, and check to see if you are firing on all cylinders.

TeamH2O · Postby **TeamH2O** » March 20th, 2007, 11:42 am

fixed it! was the air sound i was hearing, a nipple on the big silver plastic kinda air box intake was broken off, used steel epoxy to stick it back on with a new vacum hose and it works perfect.

Aarong420 · Postby **Aarong420** » March 20th, 2007, 12:02 pm

sounds like a nicee setup there dude...
where did u get the HKS gasket to buy?, and do you know how much if any, does it drops the ratio?. and are u running some kinda piggy back or standalone?

Stuckindmud · Postby **Stuckindmud** » March 20th, 2007, 1:01 pm

Toyota are not well-known for fantastic frankensteins....at least those that last. Go with the full swap.
