that looks very much the same stickers that Queanbeyan engine services used to use.

Like the only real engine guys that have been around for ever in canberra are phillip head services, belconnen engine services, queanbeyan engine services and QIM engine reconditioning they are the companies been around 40+ years no one else that i can think of id trust. I know autotech does engine work as well along with a few other places but i have always used phillip head services (brian) or timmy at queanbeyan both are great guys and do top work

i don't personally have a 4age swapped in but i can help advise what to do weather leave it stock or build it.

big thing is ask every single question you can and learn as much as you can before you jam it in there so you don't end up blowing more money and not understanding it all.

next thing is get all you need to put it in at once and make a big stab at it, it will help with motivation having it all there verse waiting for parts weeks and weeks

The answer is quite simple from having my car off the road for so long and you snowball into changing everything and anything you can along the way, the best advise i can say is leave it stock and get it in the car working and on the road

or unless you have some nice deep pockets and want to throw an easy $5-6k or easily more into rebuilding and making the engine an angry street motor I'm pretty sure you like the rest of us want to drive the car the money you will save just by putting it in and enjoying the engine for what it is will have it on the road a lot faster and more time behind the wheel, there is no reason at all you cant build it into an angry street motor later down the track but I'm pretty sure you would rather be out driving it, a stock 4age in a 1200 is damn fun and will give you all the joys you need then be silly with it when you have the savings

haha wish I was talking Chinese as this is technically a message board/forum the only way to input pictures, videos, tables ect. is to use the html language (website design code) to insert your media your wanting...

or the next option is just upload your video to youtube and one of us here on the forum can convert it to a format in which you can watch the video here on the forum verse going to the link of your video

cheers guys, yeah think best bet is going to be get it compression checked and check the combustion chamber against the closed chamber h89 make sure its all lined up, henceforth ensure this deck clearance is correct and match headgasket to get the most out of it..

Still a decent little win to have the block bored 1mm over and oringed better than me having to do it :)

it had a H75 head on it for some reason and the combustion chamber on the head has not been modified can get pics if you boys would like to see the head that came off it

easiest way is upload on youtube and if you want to submit it here for other to view use the embeded html format to insert your video

example;

[flash=][/flash]

[flash=] ENTER YOUR YOUTUBE URL HERE [/flash]

then just enter in the height width values you want for the size of thumbnail so at the start enter;

[flash=425,350] Enter your url here [flash] (make sure /flash at the end i cant enter it or it thinks it a video

Hey boys i have picked up another A15 and opened it up to inspect it all and have come to notice the pistons in the engine are 1mm over bore 77mm and the block is oringed

now the question is that the pistons have a very minor dish on them and almost look early a-series what im wanting to know is are they are higher compression verse the quelsh ofset stock a15 pistons and will it be alright to put on a H89 head on it as the pistons come a around 1mm above block height as well im just a little confused verse the normal stock pistons

wanting to know if it will have a higher comp and the h89 head will be good on it

here is the A15 opened up and the other picture is a standard A15 piston

Hey boys,

I'm looking for a decent log style intake manifold to suit the fun little draw through turbo setup I am doing.

Someone must have one just laying around to suit an H89 oval port manifold, not really wanting to use a crappy stock manifold looking to make it very neat and nice clean setup the stock manifold does not do this for me.

Please shout out if you have something laying around :)

You may be right i cant tell what the flow is going to be an limitations of the amr500 its only a 500cc charger really

Well around 10psi is close to the 16000rpm limit of the charger so its hard to determine what it would be making still 10psi of forced induction would certainly make more power

Being my a15 is already 20tho over, cam duration 239@50 ported and polished head with springs and matched manifold on twin 40dcoe carbs electronic ignition ect ect. It's a fun little car but when your mate rocks up with his t28 turbo A15 you start to think some boost might be a good idea

Be nice if someone is running an amr500 blow through to give me an idea

Backspacing is the distance from the back lip of the rim to the mounting pad in the center of the rim

So if you measure off the hub face backwards and work out the distance to your strut will provide you your backspacing and from there work out the total width of the fender to the strut for your wheel thus you will know what size wheel will fit and convert your backspacing to offset and will get your desired size wheel (of course you need to take a little off because you don't want your rim directly on the fender or strut)

Generally backspacing is in inches

So for example a 3.5 backspace on a 6 inch wheel is a zero offset
