Hey mate I’ve just started a Trueno BZR blacktop turbo build with a bunch of MRP parts here in NZ. Just pulled the engine over the weekend and is my first build so will definitely stay posted for more tips and tricks!

Hey mate I'm rebuilding an 20v blacktop to dp you have some more advice? The block looks good and the cilinders all in other words looks great do I need to take it to the machine shop to polish it and go oversized or polish is just clean ?

@4AGEEDGarage

Жыл бұрын

Definitely take it to a reputable engine machine shop if you want the engine to last. If the honing isn't done correctly on the bores the piston rings won't seal properly which defeats the purpose of pulling it appart. My machine guy said always best to go with .5 oversize although if your running a used piston and going with a light hone, just get them to check the clearances. Make sure you have a proper 4age 20v repair manual too with correct torque specs and clearances.

How can I get a black top crankshaft to buy

Was just doing searches on the 20v silver/blacktop as I want to learn more on this as I know they are awesome engines but not a large community for me to get any details on. Are you familiar with the amount of hp the 20v silver top comes with stock?

@4AGEEDGarage

3 жыл бұрын

Hey, they are good engines. Only know the amount of HP Wikipedia says (153hp) at the crank, known to be alot less though than it states. This page has a good write up on comparisons www.sq-engineering.com/tech-articles/difference-between-silver-and-blacktop-20v-4age-engines/

Good video, thanks for the detail. Prior to the rebuild did it consume a lot of oil and blow smoke from time to time? Are stuck piston rings/excessive blowby a thing on 20 Valves?

@4AGEEDGarage

Жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply. Yes it had excessive smoke especially on deceleration. Prior to the rebuild I replaced the valve stem seals but still didn't fix my smoke issue. Was a higher km engine with 273,000km when it was rebuilt.

@@4AGEEDGarage no worries. Thanks for the info. Do you think that the engine didn't receive timely oil changes before you go it to cause that oil burn? Maybe the wrong kind of oil was used for a long time?

@RolanTHUNDER

Жыл бұрын

@@4AGEEDGarage Ah I see. My engine is totally stock and untouched yet somehow the oil burn has become excessive. I also installed new Supertech stem seals. She pulls hard and sounds awesome though. I don't get smoke on decel, only on accel at certain times. Oil is disappearing off the dipstick too quickly though. Rear main is leaking badly so that contributes to it. I want to run a TRD head gasket with everything else stock including head bolts when I get new piston rings to install. What do you reckon?

Im doing the same. I think of eliminating the vvt solenoid for an adjustable one what do you think. Going to be running the engine stock except for the conrods and am going to be running coil on pack.

@4AGEEDGarage

Thats cool, nice project building an engine and senseofachievement. For what reason would you want an adjustable vvt solenoid? The factory one works fine. Conrods are a good idea on a blacktop. Any particular reason for choosing coil on pack? You won't gain any power from them on a stock engine and probably need aftermarket ecu to run them properly.

Quite thin, I was planning on using these however my engine machinist highly recommended not using them due to the amount of kms the engine had done 273km. He said they get fatigue over time and would hate to see me spend all the money on rebuilding and have a rod break/twist destroying my engine. If your rebuilding try find some Silvertop rods, I just got MRP ones because I needed them quickly plus are lighter.

@@RolanTHUNDER Ah, mines just tired and runs rich due to stock ECU. It's done 210k KMs, will probably do another 50k but I've been wanting to do it for a few years now, plus respray, suspension refresh, etc. just the cost was always a barrier. You can easily spend $5k plus and only make 30hp more, but the engine response and sound of ITBs is just phenomenal with a light chassis. These older engines and corollas are slowly going up in value now too.

@@4AGEEDGarage Ah ok, that's not too bad. I suppose though you didn't add Cams or a standalone ECU and CoP conversion + tune, so that adds an extra grand or 2 lol.

My blacktop has no issues besides the common VVT tick so imagine internals are ok.

how hard was it to rebuild the blacktop? could the average bloke do it by following instructions/ help from people?

@4AGEEDGarage

2 жыл бұрын

Hey, it wasn't that hard really, I would say the hardest part which wasn't really hard, was the plasti gauge part to measure bearing clearances, just time consuming. I would say and average bloke could definitely do this providing you take you time, get the machine shop to do their part and do the crucial parts with machining, ring gaps and clearances etc. I have never rebuilt an engine before, I'm not even a mechanic but just followed a couple of manuals, youtube and done research not that there is many videos I found of step by step process. My videos will obviously give you some idea what is involved and the extra things I did.
