Installing 4AGZE in AE86

[PetzK]

@Veiss: the supercharger just needs to be rotated a bit to get it out of the way; at most a new bracket to be fabricated... what says the ECU to the TB being after the SC , and what about the other sensors and bypasses?

[Veiss]

XJS:
I can't tell you what has been done to the ecu, but I can try taking some pictures of it unassembled, but it's going to be a couple of weeks before it's possible. I have also soldered a diode (I think) on a cable to the MAP sensor. I'll post pictures of the lot when I have the oppertunity.

PetzK:
Have you seen such a conversion, I havn't, and I would like to see one if you got link or pics.
I don't think it's as simple as you say.

this is the link where I got my 'inspiration'; asked the guy some questions, but unfortunately didn't get the answers I was hoping for...

I thought that it wasnt possible to install the top-mounted intercooler in AE86..

Not the best place, i agree. Just above the exchaustmanifold...

Hehe, no that's just plain stupid to do that...

It would be just a bit smarter, if there was a scoop in the hood...

[Knudsen]

If it can sit there as it does, it can sit as stock in AE82. Its just a question of making the correct intake. I think ill give it a go, mounting the IC as stock. Cant see why it shouldnt be possible, its just a small fabrication of brackets.

i think knudsen ideia is not so bad
as placing a scoop in my AE86 is out of question (i think is ugly)
i'm planing to have the "original" top mount at least for a while.. and i was thinking in an inprovised air duct from down and front.. and lifting the boonet a litle bit for the hot air extratcion..
this is not expensive as a "new" front mount intercooler set.. and it just might be enough for a stock gze

[Knudsen]

I think the guys who have experienced that theres no space for the topmounted IC, just have tryed to close the bonnit after installing the engine.

I have allready a strutbar, and it sits about 8-10 cm over the valve-covers. I dont know how thick a GZE IC is, but it cant be that much thicker than 10cm.

[So7urno]

Yes i notice that... but i want to try it any way for 2 reasons (a bit less lag due to smaler pipes, and much cheaper)
i dont have the AA bar instaled yet.. but that top mount example (on the side so it can fit under the bar) might work if improoved.. i will try to make a nice air duct to avoid hot air from engine as much as possible..

So7urno Wrote:is the poor intake system one of the strong reasons for the poor diference of power betwen mid rev and high rev?

any one knows how to answer this?

Incase that we have talked in each our directions, the picture i posted wasnt my car...
