Thanks, I'm interested to know what process you're using to determine what alternatives there are compared to stock parts from the Toyota Electronics Parts Catalog? For example how did you determine that this 4AGE crankshaft is compatible with the 4AFE engine. How do you find companies like MRPLTD, and what criteria do you use to determine if their parts are of reasonable quality?

Great video as always! I'm curious, did the shop rebalance the rotating assembly after notching the pistons for the oil squirters? While it's not a lot of material removed, I'd worry it's significant enough to require rebalancing.

Hello, what is the thread on those banjo bolts for the piston squirters please? I have modified a Ford Pinto block and fitted a set squirters to it, but I would prefer to use valved banjo's instead of the straight through ones.

I usually paint the block any color but black so that any leaks are easier to identify. Great to see a vid of him actually doing something instead of a white board.

When we built the last complete engine I did, the biggest thing was having a plan in place & following it. The engine, a Buick 3.8L/Series II, is on Ward's list of best engines. Machining was fully done, used ARP attaching hardware kits (both stud & bolt). Factory rods are powder metal forged units, Mahle pistons with better ring sizes & longer skirts. Cometic headgaskets. Intercooler (water-to-air). Eliminated the CR balance shaft, Closes double roller chain & tensioner. Upgraded oil pump. It's been 8+ years and it has had exactly 0 hiccups.

Super exciting to see this engine build finally coming together! Can't wait for the first test drive video!! Awesome work, D4A! Love your content.

13:10... this is what I did with my Chevy Ecotec build I have never had any issues after notching for my oil squirters 14:40... as long as your mains measure 0.0005 within tolerance you do not need to align hone...for main studs...

hold on. you didnt mention about balancing the piston weights after you added the notch. i hope you did it without mentioning. this build reminds me about my very first engine build but i did N/A 4A-F. a mechanic helped me to torque down and assemble it back to the car. it was such a struggle to tune the engine since i use 4A-GE pistons but managed to make it runs smooth and torquey. what an experience for a mid-schooler me lol

He balanced the pistons when they arrived and its only a small notch. I'd say they'd still be within 1 gram of each other which for 6000rpm will be fine. If you're going 11,000 then maybe balance them better....

I like this built ❤ it's always nice to see someone using f-head for performance purposes 💪

For increased reliability use full groove main bearings, this guarantees 360 degrees of oil supply to the big end bearings and reduces pulsation in the oil supply to the bearings.

Looks great! Every boy's dream of building a powerful engine. Love your detail, as per usual. Gotta say though, I find you're very adventurous for adding on those oil squirters and notching your pistons for clearance! Not something I would have the guts to do but I'm very impressed by your intuition.

Awesome to see the build coming together! You must be getting excited seeing all these parts actually going into the block!

I’m so excited for this build, this will be an inspiration for me for when I build my own.

So good job full of details. I am so excited for this build. Can't wait to see it fires up. Go go go.

Awesome bro, love what you did with the 4afe block and the adding of the oil squirts, block came out boss man I use to have a strong 4afe normal aspirated In a Toyota conquest body many moons ago

You are awesome. The content you are creating helps someone like me in understanding engines better. Thank You. Keep it up. Subscribed.

It's always best practice to align hone when changing to studs or adding something like main girdles. Hopefully you don't get any distortion in the block. Good luck with the rest of the build!

Great vid and explain. Also it's very good that you show us the parts & costs. Thanks. Up to the next

All your videos are highly informative and educational.

Man, how did I only just find this channel, this is great.

for me. it was extremely well balanced, no stroker, stock rods and pistons{.080 over} and headwork done by a specialist. then not touching anything without asking the tuner first. reliable as hell.

About 20 years ago we raced a stock block 350 Chevy and those blocks aren’t the strongest but they do well one thing we figured out is if you run a lightweight rotating assembly it puts less stress on the block and we had a 350 that turned 8000 rpm and ran 1050 in a 3400 pound car and that engine ran for years never broke a block 28 grams at 7000 rpm is 700 pounds of force so when you take 6 pounds or more off the crank lightweight everything else you can get away with a lot more as long as you don’t detonate it

Very nicely detailed step by step on building the engine block. What process was used for the block weld repair, and why was it necessary?

Terrific and thoughtful presentation! Thank you!

Thank you for the great content. It's educating and enlightening. Spasiba!!

Good Job there is many thing to think of when use a block not ment for the power you make. Look forward to see it finish and tuned on Dyno. Thanks for uplode.

Great stuff! Looking forward to see what this beast can do. 👍

Forged Pistons run cooler so people say you don't need squirters and delete them. I think it's still a good idea. They still cool and lubricate the pistons no matter what material they are. With squirters and Turbo oil feed, you just have to make sure you have a good oil pump or modified oem pump.

When it time for the first startup plenty of us would like to see it live!

This is awesome, I did the same as you with a 3SFE, with maxpeeding rods, 3sgte pistons and crankshaft with arp, my isn’t done yet, i need to machine the head because a high compression, the 3SFE look too similar to the 4afe.

Loved the video, great job, very detailed and informative. Thanks :)

Wow thanks for al the use full information! Im building a 7age engine(also turbo charging it) and happen to have almost the same setup you are using! 4agze pistons with max speeding rods 😂💪🏻. I assume i can use most of the modifications you use and i think im gonna use your video as a base line for my build! Just waiting for a crank sprocket to correct the timing for the conversion and then i can start building 💪🏻

Amazing video, very educational 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

That's very exciting and of course, informative!

Always great content. We appreciate you 🙏

A real world self build engine, all be it, by someone with good knowledge. Good price for bore, hone and decking, I charge €500 for a four cylinder 🙂👌

Great fun old Toyotas I love the way there's so many interchangeable parts with different engine's & cars throughout the range in the 80s-90s my old mr2 mk1 fitted with supercharged engine also fitted a bigger supercharger from a different model can't remember which then found that gt4 st165 brakes fitted was a track weapon

Thanks for all your tutorials. Did you chemically clean the coolant passages in the block? Scale is an effective insulator. More important for the head but significant for the block none the less. Hydrochloric acid works a treat in cast iron blocks.

Worth a mention here, the thickness of the wrist pin is critical to a good build. I run .200 wall pins and even .250 wall pins on 1000+ hp 2jz engines. Its a lot of added weight but the piston isn't strong enough to support itself and a flexing pin.

Its also a good idea to start with a block that has enough rigidity designed in. A block that was never designed with higher horsepower/kw output in mind is not going to take well to forced induction. One good reason for align honing the main bearing bores is to ensure that they have a common centerline. Your bearing bores may be in spec size wise but there is also a tolerance for alignment.

Dude, you got that Slav squat on point!

Nice stuff I would love to hear numbers and calculations about expected torque the components resistance... ECT

Man im hyped up thx for making this video!

Finally! You probably don't remember my complaining on the way you speak... I allways thought that you are a ntive english speaker. Now I finally know that you are from Bosnia ;-) . And that explains a lot ;-) . Clue: Pretvarac hrde :-D .

Excellent video Bro. Keep it up.

Awesome video as usual! Quick question. Isn’t it necessary to line hone when using ARP studs on the main caps? In my case (VW 1.8t 20v) I decided against ARP because the increasing load you are supposed to use on the bolts meant a line hone was necessary and hated the idea the same as you.

Brilliant video...keep them coming 👏

One of best engines ever made.. Bever stop..

Thanks for this incredibly useful video!

Cylinder heads usually require the most attention. Can also be very complicated as well unless you stay with standard.

Hey, great prduct presentation... ques.. can yiu say if the oil squirters can be installed in the 7afe block. I run a 7age 20v which I'm going to do a refresh on.

Me and you are aligned. But I'm actually doing the turbo on the 4AGE. I'm using the MRP turbo kit from New Zealand, and a Borg Warner 6258 efr. Thank you for showing the oil squirters machined in, I really didn't know how I would get those in. I was considering just using e85 to cool the Pistons but now I might be able to get away with just using oil squirters

Shipped a full 5.0L crate motor from east coast to FRA by air for $650. But that was two years ago. Not surprised if that price has doubled by now.

Thank you for the awesome info...I'm trying to come up with one engine from a Toyota 4E & 5E engines...what are my odds

You notched the pistons, did you weight them all and match them up? What was the piston to deck height like as the block had been decked. There was some good and interedting stuff as well.

I'm planning on upgrading the turbos on my gen2 3.5 ecoboost with a pair of Garretts that were designed for this particular engine. The crankshaft and con rods are forged but the pistons are not. Will the pistons need to be upgraded or should they be able to handle the increase in power?

I wish I had you knowledge I’d be working on engines right now :)

Quick stupid question, when you ground out a little half circle into the piston for it tp clear the oil squirters, wont that knock the piston/rotating assembly of balance?

Interesting! And nice project ! :)

Superb video.

Great info...thank u

This is gonna be a great build in the end

Great job! It's a very interesting video, but why you didn't buy a used 4a-ge block?

Cool video! I have a problem with my engine, it shakes the car when turning the car on or turning it off. What are possible causes? Tnx

cool stuff. I am getting my 2azfe engine built with all the goodies. Even "converted" it to semi closed deck from cylinder support system. Only thing I am waiting on is the arp studs and bolts. Been waiting for months and still no actual date for delivery :((((( those are the only think I have been waiting for

Where are you from dude, that pretvarač hrđe is very familiar...

I have a question. Did you grind the same material off all the pistons? Did all the weights still match so that everything was balanced again afterward?

Do you have any additional advice for assembling a turbocharged hauling motor for a truck?

This is going to be fun to watch :-)
