Sound like a very happy motor. Full song reminds me of a big turbo E85 CA18DET I built 15 years ago. VVT is a wonderfull thing and makes wonders for the powerband, some guys are locking them up and I allways thought that's the dumbest thing ever.
Sounds amazing! Looks like it goes even better. I really enjoy your scientific approach to vids. Ive got a fairly serious ek civic with na honda b18cr in auckland if you are interested in consulting on or dynoing it in the future for cash for your future projects.
I've been enjoying watching your videos and trying to learn some stuff. I think what would be really valuable to me and potentially others is a summary/talking video, like a, "what I've learned so far and my theories" about all the things you've tested. Be great to build a bunch of discussion in the comments too 👍
Nice mate, new engine is making the same as my bigport with stock cams on 1 bar. its very obvious the vvti helps with lag on your setup compared to mine. thanks for putting so much detail in your videos!
So many places that little motor would be fun, early 80's Corolla, 60's/70's Lotus Europa, original MR2... the HiLux must be wicked fun. And all that work, yet you can tell from the sound alone that it's a Toyota 4-pot, just something unique to the exhaust note.

Absolutely awesome numbers to see all over the graph. giving me ideas on my next engine build for the driftcar down south - this is exactly what I need. Will you be making a VVTI kit for the public?
@@Garage4age Any chance you'll do a dual vvti 20v kit? Also I thought you might be interested in a youtube video by hawes_power where his gt4 dynod up to 60hp and 100nm gains across the whole rev range with earlier peaks by swapping from a built 3sgte to a 5sgte beams dual vvti - same turbo, same boost, same pump fuel, just better head, extra 200cc and dual vvti. I think this shows potential for a boosted dual vvti 20v 7a.
@@TurnerJustis unlikely will do it for 20v. the vvt on them works ok for a basic on/off setup. plus it would actually be harder to do vvti on a 20v than 16v. exhaust side vvti isn't a big advantage. most of the gains are on the intake side.
What are the advantages of running the itbs in a turbo setup instead of just a single throttle body? And thanks for all the great videos, really useful information
Hey, thanks for the donation. Mostly so the engine runs nicer at low rpm and idle. With a big plenum single throttle intake and or bigger cams, engine will stall out easier and not run down to as lower rpm. ITB's will run a lot better down there since plenum is on the other side of the throttles. An engine with bigger cams will run nicer with itb's than a single plenum regardless of plenum size or if its na or turbo.

Impressive power, especially if the RWD and huge tires losses are not calculated out. It is a fair bit easier to get that power at the wheels in a corolla then a hilux.
Yeah all the numbers are at the wheels. Also running it up in 3rd gear, which usually shows less power than the 1:1 gear in rwd box. 4th would be almost 300kph due the big wheels and rpm, even with 4.88 diffs. which is way to fast for the dyno let alone the driveshaft.

Thanks for doing all this awesome research! I currently have a 4AGZE, similar to your old engine minus the ported head and with a big SC14 setup. I am approaching the crossroad of switching to turbo. I was thinking about a set of Kelford Turbo (HV) cams, 1SZ solid lifters, appropriate springs and then was heading down the route of a G25 (well PSR version) to try and get some response as I a really enjoy the instant torque hit of the SC14. How big is the turbine on your gtx2860? I'm probably also going to employ an antilag strategy as my application is an offroad buggy....which is why the instant response is so addictive. For the sake of information.....200kW is probably more than enough in a small single seater buggy between trees 😅 Interesting to see you had been pushing the 4AGZE rods and standard cams so far. Do you have a video detailing the porting and modified headwork somewhere?
gen 2 gtx2860 is still really good match for low - mid 200kw at wheels. have tuned a pulsar g25 4agze engine, came on around 500rpm later than my old engine, but it did have some aftermarket cams, so results may vary. The g25 would be my next step, but would run the 2860 if dont want to go past 250kw. I probably wouldn't even bother with cams if your goal is around 200kw, a stock smallport ze with do that no problem, but will take more boost. around 18psi on a nice turbo manifold and intercooler setup, with stock head and stock na inlet manifold. done one not too long ago with same turbo as im running. cams can actually make the turbo come on later if you go too big. no vids on the head work sorry, the head on it was quite aggressively ported, probably almost too much for stock valve head tbh. was a hand me down from my na engine before i went to a big valve head. something the 10 year ago me did.. the one on the new engine is a bigport head and was modified not to lose power off the bottom. but yeh not as good as the other one up top
@@Garage4age interesting! thanks for the tips. I just figured G series was the new hotness, but good to have some real world experience. Any idea how big the cams were on the PSR G series thing? That definitely is the beauty of the turbo application, so easy to cram more boost in. The SC14 just makes whatever it makes, spin it harder and it just makes hotter air :p
@@ae86racer007 it had hks cams unsure if 256 or 264 version. nothing too big either way. G series newer tech yeah. but is still a bigger turbo with bigger wheels than the 2860, Any half decent turbo will make a stack more power on same boost as a sc12/14,
@@Garage4age I am starting to see that! Just going to need some ALS to keep it woke at 3000rpm :D Garretts Boost Advisor did favour a 2860 over the G25....G25 is on the bottom of the efficiency Island, 2860 was pretty solid in the primo area :)
Is quite a few reasons why i done it like that, some as silly as that was the cams i hanging around. when pared with the exhaust cam out of that set it looses about 1000rpm on spool up. with the combo it has combine with the vvti it runs like factory at idle. good for slow speed stuff. if i acquire a slightly bigger exhaust cam i will try it.
@@RocketRaspeed there is a video on my channel, where i tested the same cam combo on the na version of this engine, if you haven't seen it. it does basically the same thing as here. but yes im interested to see how big i can go on the exhaust side without loosing power off the bottom, or running rough.
Please get your hands on some bike carbies and show us mere mortals how to get 150hp out of a light cam and which carb is best that would be a fun video i think
Someting tht poped out from yota "atlantic racin" so its blk top 4ge w 7a bottom not blue 4ge botom?? Idon know its been so while ive f w 4age n yota family, Nice high rev, mechanical tuned buld up
I caution against reving this past 9 grand with the stock crank they start flexing and the rold bolts You WILL break them. especially with long rods they will survive a few dozen pulls to 10 grand but really you need to work on the bottom end if you want to rev there. also more boost there is a guy making 600hp out of 4age in his pikes peak car
The long rods will make it easier on rotating assembly, not worse. thats the whole point. less side loading and vibration, which is a bad day for the bottom end. As per the video I'm not chasing big power. just wide powerband. If i wanted big power, the combo of parts would be different
Hey mate just wondering if you’re worried about the shim over buckets crapping the bed at high rpm? I watched a video of a guy talking about 4a’s and he mentioned Toyota switching to rockers for the 2zzge head because longer duration cams and higher redline. Cheers
I have swapped to 1sz shimless buckets on this engine. You will find 2zzge uses rockers for the vvl system, rather than them switching to them for rpm issues
How do you keep the bottom end together when revving so high? I do not see a girdle or ladder caps to keep the crank happy. Is it only because you are doing quick pulls and not sitting at those rpm's?
Hey I know this probably isn’t the best way to ask this question but how did you do this swap I have a 87 4x4 and have been trying to figure out how you did it for years since I saw one of your videos and now my motor is out and I’m debating on a 4a 16 or 20 valve or a 2JZ and I have really liked these motors so any info would be very appreciated
Please recover all the torque beyond the current peak by turning up the boost. You are moving past your knock limit rpm and assuming you have the fuel there is no reason to limit it to a number. Flat line the torque so you stay in the drive line limits.
Hey. Yeah that would be the plan if wanted more power. But it already has more than enough to do what it needs to do. Rolling over at the end will stop it going into the limiter as hard in mud holes and the likes
Ive tried the same cam combo a few times, both na (is a vid of the na test) and turbo on old engine in the hilux. only reason i didn't run with it on old engine in hilux. is it has to run super nice down at idle to do slow speed 4wd stuff. which the itb's and vvti solves. I should be able to run a bit bigger exhaust cam (have nothing in between here to try). but running the 278 exhaust cam out of this 284/278 set kills the boost threshold by about 1000rpm, for a bit more top end. which is a no go in this thing. Current setup, runs super nice. you would never suspect it pulls 10k rpm
Is there a measurement of the area under the power curve that would effectively convey the increase in usable power from this setup better than peak power?
Yeah was going to if needed. but don't really notice it rolling over when driving it. it doesn't drop below the peak power of the old engine. will leave as is, so smashes the limiter slightly less haha. If engine was in something else would put a boost ramp in it
I have quite a few cam timing videos if thats what you mean. 4age vvti: ua-cam.com/video/B1mAesApxv0/v-deo.html k24 : ua-cam.com/video/rX6rAjI-VW0/v-deo.html 4age turbo ua-cam.com/video/bnIsNwdKnCw/v-deo.html this one is not variable but you can see what the settings would be if it was
@@Garage4age I watched these videos,I think they are very useful. I asked the question a little wrong, I’m interested in how the timing of fuel injection itself is affected, maybe your ecu doesn’t have such a function, I can’t know for sure, in mine ecu has a map similar to an ignition or mixture composition map, only there you can set the timing of fuel injection, for example, into an open valve or into a closed valve, etc. ,exactly the moment of opening the injectors,That’s what I meant
@@nivagarage301Ah you mean injector timing. some ecu's call it different things. I did a little bit on it in this video ua-cam.com/video/lt7JpXEfH-4/v-deo.html Isn't usually much in it power wise. generally just adjust till afr is the richest, meaning the fuel that is injected it getting burnt/properly burnt. then trim the fuel back to the correct afr. can make the engine run nicer at low rpm, sometimes is a little to gain in the top end on an aggressively cammed setup, but only if have big injectors that are running at lowish duty up there. i may do a video on it at some stage
Cheers. Does the Hilux feel more alive with the new engine? Have you considered tuning with rising boost curve? Add extra boost after the torque peak, so the engine would make more power without self destruction.
yeah huge difference in how it drives with the massive powerband. its already got more than enough power, but yeah thats what i would do if wanted more. its quite high compression mid to high 10's. It's not running any form or boost control atm. just spring pressure
I think they may have moved the pin height up in the piston a bit too, so even better rod ratio, pretty cool kit. but would be out of my budget. my setup takes factory 4age piston pin height and 7a deck height. so off the shelf pistons work
It ran a big end bearing awhile back, due to oiling issue. so i threw a new crank and bearings in it. rest of it was built over 10 years ago, and used to be in my drift car. still runs perfect and doesn't use any oil
@@sachadohc2912 98 ron e10 pump gas. 0-40 petro-canada in everything at the moment as got a bunch of it for a dyno job. otherwise usually 10-50 penrite
Few reasons. Had that cam hanging around already setup for the vvti. using the exhaust cam from the same set makes the turbo come on 1000rpm later, but does make a bit more up top. I dont have anything smaller hanging around to try and is probably a better combo. but this works well for the hilux. As with the vvti on the inlet and small exhaust cam, get factory like idle, hard to stall out and the massive powerband. all good stuff for 4wding. Almost everything on this engine is recycled from other projects, so some things are a compromise
@@Garage4age That's interesting. Thanks for responding. Having more torque lower in the RPM range is definitely better for the offroading I do than peak power numbers at high RPM. Is it overlap that causes the turbo to come on later? Do you think you'd see benefits from a bigger intake cam without the turbo? I have a Nissan D40 with the VQ40 and it has variable timing on the intake cam. I am trying to figure out if a bigger cam would be beneficial. I am concerned about shifting the powerband to the right and losing low end torque. I'm in the process of swapping to a solid axle in the front and will be running 37" tires. The purpose of the truck is offroading, but it will be street driven to the trails. My current thought is to just leave it alone, but I'd love to her your opinion. It will be NA, no turbo or supercharger.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony Take a look at this vid Its basically the same engine in NA form with the same cam combo, comparing against stock cams both sides and big cams both sides ua-cam.com/video/-Inv1TkANls/v-deo.html A good part of how well it pulls off the bottom with big cams is the exhaust setup. Which is pretty well dialed on the na setup. the turbo essentially destroys all of that. since is creating pressure on the exhaust side. So yeah results will obviously vary from setup to setup and different engines. but just changing to a bigger inlet cam with the vvti to make it run nice would be a safe bet
@@Garage4age I'll check that out, thanks. I'll have Doug Thorley long tube headers (1.4" primaries, 22" long) on this truck and I plan on building the exhaust myself. Nothing too crazy, but I'll use mandrel bends and try to keep the diameter sensible. As I understand the velocity of the exhaust gas is key to scavenging.

@@ae86racer007 it had hks cams unsure if 256 or 264 version. nothing too big either way. G series newer tech yeah. but is still a bigger turbo with bigger wheels than the 2860, Any half decent turbo will make a stack more power on same boost as a sc12/14,
@@Garage4age I am starting to see that! Just going to need some ALS to keep it woke at 3000rpm :D
Garretts Boost Advisor did favour a 2860 over the G25....G25 is on the bottom of the efficiency Island, 2860 was pretty solid in the primo area :)
That's really cool! I guess with a small turbo like that there wouldn't be much advantage going with a larger exhaust camshaft?
Is quite a few reasons why i done it like that, some as silly as that was the cams i hanging around. when pared with the exhaust cam out of that set it looses about 1000rpm on spool up. with the combo it has combine with the vvti it runs like factory at idle. good for slow speed stuff. if i acquire a slightly bigger exhaust cam i will try it.
@@Garage4age That would be cool to see what it does.
@@RocketRaspeed there is a video on my channel, where i tested the same cam combo on the na version of this engine, if you haven't seen it. it does basically the same thing as here. but yes im interested to see how big i can go on the exhaust side without loosing power off the bottom, or running rough.
@@Garage4agestock bigport cam is 240 duration and 7.6mm lift that might give it a little more compared to the 232 with 7.1mm lift.
@@brownsworthy7323 hey. Yeah a friend is sending me some. I need to change to a better cam belt so will swap the 240 in then
Please get your hands on some bike carbies and show us mere mortals how to get 150hp out of a light cam and which carb is best that would be a fun video i think
Love it… more test run footage please 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀☮️
Someting tht poped out from yota "atlantic racin" so its blk top 4ge w 7a bottom not blue 4ge botom?? Idon know its been so while ive f w 4age n yota family, Nice high rev, mechanical tuned buld up
Very cool! Does it run stock valve springs?
toda springs. i swapped to shimless buckets also
looking decent! cant wait to see it spitting mud everywhere again if you take the cameras out for some bush bashing
I caution against reving this past 9 grand with the stock crank they start flexing and the rold bolts You WILL break them. especially with long rods they will survive a few dozen pulls to 10 grand but really you need to work on the bottom end if you want to rev there. also more boost there is a guy making 600hp out of 4age in his pikes peak car
The long rods will make it easier on rotating assembly, not worse. thats the whole point. less side loading and vibration, which is a bad day for the bottom end. As per the video I'm not chasing big power. just wide powerband. If i wanted big power, the combo of parts would be different
Hey mate just wondering if you’re worried about the shim over buckets crapping the bed at high rpm? I watched a video of a guy talking about 4a’s and he mentioned Toyota switching to rockers for the 2zzge head because longer duration cams and higher redline. Cheers
I have swapped to 1sz shimless buckets on this engine. You will find 2zzge uses rockers for the vvl system, rather than them switching to them for rpm issues
How do you keep the bottom end together when revving so high? I do not see a girdle or ladder caps to keep the crank happy. Is it only because you are doing quick pulls and not sitting at those rpm's?
Hey I know this probably isn’t the best way to ask this question but how did you do this swap I have a 87 4x4 and have been trying to figure out how you did it for years since I saw one of your videos and now my motor is out and I’m debating on a 4a 16 or 20 valve or a 2JZ and I have really liked these motors so any info would be very appreciated
I can't imagine put dat thing in da AE86.🤯🔥..
Please recover all the torque beyond the current peak by turning up the boost. You are moving past your knock limit rpm and assuming you have the fuel there is no reason to limit it to a number. Flat line the torque so you stay in the drive line limits.
Hey. Yeah that would be the plan if wanted more power. But it already has more than enough to do what it needs to do. Rolling over at the end will stop it going into the limiter as hard in mud holes and the likes
Here i was thinking "you need the BIGGEST exhaust cam to get high rpm".
Ive tried the same cam combo a few times, both na (is a vid of the na test) and turbo on old engine in the hilux. only reason i didn't run with it on old engine in hilux. is it has to run super nice down at idle to do slow speed 4wd stuff. which the itb's and vvti solves. I should be able to run a bit bigger exhaust cam (have nothing in between here to try). but running the 278 exhaust cam out of this 284/278 set kills the boost threshold by about 1000rpm, for a bit more top end. which is a no go in this thing. Current setup, runs super nice. you would never suspect it pulls 10k rpm
Not going to swap the old head on?@@Garage4age
@@Clickeral Will leave as is, it already makes more than enough power for its intended use
What an incredible power range it has! Maybe next step would be a decent silencer 😅
Is there a measurement of the area under the power curve that would effectively convey the increase in usable power from this setup better than peak power?
Awesome job!
A 35% increase in the RPM range ratio with the turbo spooled and more power throughout is respectable.
Is this called a 35% increase in bandwidth?
exhaust wrap vs spool time pls )
Is there any mileage in feeding in some more boost later in the rev range to keep the toque from rolling over up top?
Yeah was going to if needed. but don't really notice it rolling over when driving it. it doesn't drop below the peak power of the old engine. will leave as is, so smashes the limiter slightly less haha. If engine was in something else would put a boost ramp in it
@@Garage4age makes perfect sense
god i wished you lived here, id throw money at you to build a motor for my 86
284whp on big tire like that is a lot. That could bd 330 on small tire.
I would like to know how to put vvti cam shafts on my 4age for my NA AE86. is there any guide or something?
Hello my friend,make video about phase timing (ECU)like you have about ignition timings,if it possible ❤
I have quite a few cam timing videos if thats what you mean. 4age vvti: ua-cam.com/video/B1mAesApxv0/v-deo.html k24 : ua-cam.com/video/rX6rAjI-VW0/v-deo.html
4age turbo ua-cam.com/video/bnIsNwdKnCw/v-deo.html this one is not variable but you can see what the settings would be if it was
@@Garage4age I watched these videos,I think they are very useful. I asked the question a little wrong, I’m interested in how the timing of fuel injection itself is affected, maybe your ecu doesn’t have such a function, I can’t know for sure, in mine ecu has a map similar to an ignition or mixture composition map, only there you can set the timing of fuel injection, for example, into an open valve or into a closed valve, etc. ,exactly the moment of opening the injectors,That’s what I meant
@@nivagarage301Ah you mean injector timing. some ecu's call it different things. I did a little bit on it in this video ua-cam.com/video/lt7JpXEfH-4/v-deo.html Isn't usually much in it power wise. generally just adjust till afr is the richest, meaning the fuel that is injected it getting burnt/properly burnt. then trim the fuel back to the correct afr. can make the engine run nicer at low rpm, sometimes is a little to gain in the top end on an aggressively cammed setup, but only if have big injectors that are running at lowish duty up there. i may do a video on it at some stage
4age is the best sounding engine
I the words of one of the wisest man of our modern ages : "poooOOOOOWEEEERRRRRrrrrr!"
Would it be better to just start with a Beams motor ? Will it make more power?
Супер! Молодец! Когда нибудь и я турбо поставлю
lol love the END !
Cheers. Does the Hilux feel more alive with the new engine?
Have you considered tuning with rising boost curve? Add extra boost after the torque peak, so the engine would make more power without self destruction.
yeah huge difference in how it drives with the massive powerband. its already got more than enough power, but yeah thats what i would do if wanted more. its quite high compression mid to high 10's. It's not running any form or boost control atm. just spring pressure
Same geometry as the OS Giken long rod 4AGE 🍻
I think they may have moved the pin height up in the piston a bit too, so even better rod ratio, pretty cool kit. but would be out of my budget. my setup takes factory 4age piston pin height and 7a deck height. so off the shelf pistons work
Hey man how would I contact you about coming down to get my little yaris tuned? not a 4a-ge but I have heard you mess with 1nz-fe from time to time.
Hey. Can send me an email garage4ag@gmail.com
that's a very angry sounding a series! 😁
Seems kind of an odd choice for a lifted truck with big tires, but I’m sure it’s a blast!
when are we getting a VVTI how to?
Fkn Sick men❤! How long the old engine as last of abuse ?
It ran a big end bearing awhile back, due to oiling issue. so i threw a new crank and bearings in it. rest of it was built over 10 years ago, and used to be in my drift car. still runs perfect and doesn't use any oil
@@Garage4age wow impressive what fuel do you use and what oil grade in both aplication n/a and turbo
@@sachadohc2912 98 ron e10 pump gas. 0-40 petro-canada in everything at the moment as got a bunch of it for a dyno job. otherwise usually 10-50 penrite
@@Garage4age as usual very impressive sir !
Why not fit a larger exhaust cam too? I guess maybe it's not worth it?
Few reasons. Had that cam hanging around already setup for the vvti. using the exhaust cam from the same set makes the turbo come on 1000rpm later, but does make a bit more up top. I dont have anything smaller hanging around to try and is probably a better combo. but this works well for the hilux. As with the vvti on the inlet and small exhaust cam, get factory like idle, hard to stall out and the massive powerband. all good stuff for 4wding. Almost everything on this engine is recycled from other projects, so some things are a compromise
@@Garage4age That's interesting. Thanks for responding. Having more torque lower in the RPM range is definitely better for the offroading I do than peak power numbers at high RPM.
Is it overlap that causes the turbo to come on later?
Do you think you'd see benefits from a bigger intake cam without the turbo?
I have a Nissan D40 with the VQ40 and it has variable timing on the intake cam. I am trying to figure out if a bigger cam would be beneficial. I am concerned about shifting the powerband to the right and losing low end torque.
I'm in the process of swapping to a solid axle in the front and will be running 37" tires. The purpose of the truck is offroading, but it will be street driven to the trails.
My current thought is to just leave it alone, but I'd love to her your opinion. It will be NA, no turbo or supercharger.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony Take a look at this vid Its basically the same engine in NA form with the same cam combo, comparing against stock cams both sides and big cams both sides ua-cam.com/video/-Inv1TkANls/v-deo.html A good part of how well it pulls off the bottom with big cams is the exhaust setup. Which is pretty well dialed on the na setup. the turbo essentially destroys all of that. since is creating pressure on the exhaust side. So yeah results will obviously vary from setup to setup and different engines. but just changing to a bigger inlet cam with the vvti to make it run nice would be a safe bet
@@Garage4age I'll check that out, thanks. I'll have Doug Thorley long tube headers (1.4" primaries, 22" long) on this truck and I plan on building the exhaust myself. Nothing too crazy, but I'll use mandrel bends and try to keep the diameter sensible. As I understand the velocity of the exhaust gas is key to scavenging.
