4Age question

[tweek]

I am just wondering has anyone ever fitted a supercharger to a 4age?would it bolt on??i know you would have to sort out mapping and have to deal with det and pinking etc but i will be using 104 octane fuel so i am hoping this will combat it just want to gather info on this
cheers if ye can help out

I think it is normally reccomended to change the pistons to lower compression, like on the 4AGZE. But if you're sure about the 104 octane it may not be needed. I did see a 4AGTE survive 10:1 compression ratio on (presumably) 98 octane.

i am currently running on 104 octane and i am managing to get 41degrees ignition on full trottle without the knock sensor picking up anything and yes the knock sensor is working correctly as far as we know my engine is running forged pistons but not confirmed yet

anyone have any bit of advice to offer?
will the supercharger bolt straight on or do i need some adapter plates or anything?will be talking to a few people during the week about this so hoping to have as much info as possible before i ring them

Where are you wondering about? The supercharger bracket, this bolts in place of the alternator bracket and the top of the supercharger mounts onto the intake manifold.

find a 4agze, take off charger + brackets, go home and fit to engine = profit.

You'll need to check that the belt lines up well, I think there is a slight difference in alignment between fwd pulleys and rwd. As jdm86gtz said, will move your alternator.
