Throttle response is so important in a daily driver! Switching between a car with Drive by wire and another with a cable I noticed drive by wire feels a bit more like driving with cruise control buttons.

Drove an 04 f150 for work, that pedal had no resistance to it really. Nothing beats the real feel to the air hitting the butterfly to give you the feedback of where you're at for load and revs right though your right foot

When the filter is that close to the inlet, the cost in power is shockingly high. Carb size is based abound torque, not the power. The trouble with bike carbs, when fitted to a car engine, is they are designed for a low torque engine that will have positive air pressure in the air box at high speed, when load demand on the engine is at it's highest. Lots of problems to sort out, so may just as well fit a pair of Webbers. Same idea on the prep. I've spent too many years getting things to look pretty. We used to polish all alley castings, even the gearbox. The last time we did this the casing split off the start line, never again, I just want to race🤤😆

I wouldn't have thought it makes any difference in terms of power where the filter sits. I'm not saying it doesn't, just that I don't understand why it would. My thinking is, there will be a pressure drop across the filter material, such that the volume of air between the CV valves (or butterfly for ITBs) will reach a steady state in terms of pressure (assuming a steady load on the engine). The bigger the volume, the longer it will take to reach this steady state granted, but where surely talking fractions of a second unless you've got your filters several meters away which is just silly. So once the air pressure behind the filter has reached a steady state, how can the distance have any impact on total airflow (i.e. power)? The only thing I can think of is maybe you use a larger surface area of the filter the further away you are from the trumpet, but I think this would only have an impact if you are really close to the trumpets. Once you are circa one diameter away I guess it stops making a difference. I find more often than not there's something I haven't thought about which is why I like to ask the question. Good way to learn.

@@richardschofield2201 You answered your own question. Remember that the air intake had sufficient force to suck part of the ait filter in. As a rule of thumb those foam filters need at least 25mm from the edge of the ram pipe. Interestingly on a metal case filter (like a K&N) the solid cover can act as a pressure wave reflector, with positive results

You could also either move the fulcrum of the throttle pedal closer to where it grabs the cable or move the cable attachment point closer to the fulcrum to give you more pedal travel for the same length cable travel

Sounds like your bike carbs were hot from the heat soak, I would just put a kill switch to the ignition and crank a few before enabling it to get any fuel vapor out. Back in the 80's my dad put a tin shield and spacer that wasn't good at conducting heat between his carb and intake to help prevent vapor lock on a small block ford. Oddly enough your dyno numbers after the bike carbs and tune are exactly the same as my 96 Miata 1.8 from factory. Can't wait to see the new one in action, that throttle modulation returning will be a godsend.

Regarding MPG stuff, I converted my 1983 Toyota Starlet to fuel injection and rebuilt the engine with a slightly uprated camshaft. My fuel consumption is 6 L/100 km in the city if I drive it nicely and 6.5 L/199 km if I am thrashing it

Very excited for the build! I hope the delays won't be too bad, I know how that feels lol!

@@d4a hahahaha, Italians man... On another note, I've seen stock cam 4agtes rev to 9000 with a gtx2860r and adjustable cam gears. It was a bigport engine as well. The guy only ran about 15 psi of boost, so he needed the revs to make that 300hp. It looked like it had a really meaty power band though, since boost came on relatively early and held steady until redline, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the 4a-fte will handle the boost as well. Might even make more power than the 4age bigport in some places, though I expect that the lack of adjustable timing will hurt in some places.

Hi slav brother, first i wanna say , i visit your country in 2018 and it was great. Very beautiful nature. Second - i run my daily driver opel C20XE with bike ITB's, not carbs but EFI. No problem with pops and bangs. I guess your issue is related to how carbs works. After you turn the key of, you shut your spark, but fuel is still runnig in intake manifold. When you try to start the engine afterwards this fuel ignites and makes a bang in the manifold. I have to say there is significant improvement in the power of the car, i can tell that because my fuel injectors become too small and cant deliver enough fuel after 5000 rpm now(they are stock c20xe injectors). For your other statements i can say that you are completely right. ON/OFF throttle feeling can be inproved with EFI, but carbs are no good for daily driver. About fuel economy - with gentle throttle my ride(approximetly 190bhp by my calculations) burns 10litres /100 km, so i cant be unhappy. I would be happy to discuse those and other things with you. Keep posting good videos, thank you!

Most carb people I know tended to reduce the number of carbs for tuning purposes. Each cylinder ultimately has different needs throughout the power band. And dialing in each carb was a huge P.I.T.A. Really, a similar but better setup, would be the ITBs and fuel injection! I mean, if you REALLY wanted to be anal? You can put an afr sensor on each exhaust port to give each cylinder what it wants. The content is definitely interesting. I’m watching someone else putting the 2ARFE and the 2GRFE engines in MR2s. I’m playing with a 1NZFE until I get a garage, so that I can do a 3ZRFE swap. 🤣

Sweet! working in flip flops, my kinda mechanic.

I was waiting on an update for the 4AFE Turbo engine. Thank You.

Looking good! I'm pumped to see how it turns out when it's all installed and you get started on the tune.

Great to see this coming together. I'm looking forward to seeing the practical application of the theory you've described so well in previous videos.

Love the videos, purchased a labour of love - aw11 targa/supercharged/auto and am working to modernise, manual, and bodily restore the car. Should have listened to your video about these but am hooked on seeing it returned to its glory.

A hoist definitely makes a world of a difference.. I pulled my N54 engine with an engine picker in a cold hanger and it was not fun.. Everything definitely took twice as long. Hype to observe this build, all the best with it! Thanks for another great upload

Carbs are great, if you want to be tuning/tweaking them all the time and this goes for a bike or car engine that is not OEM, it is custom and that's we love it , especially cold start ups ITB's are always finicky, they are complex even to this day, they don't work like a unit like anything EFI, you'll find the new set up you are building to be more reliable simply for the reason you'll data to review and work with and it just makes life and tuning more reliable, especially with stock cams and they were decent from factory already, look forward to the rest of the build and the start up thats always great moment, more smiles to the mile 😎

Actually carbs aren't that great can't get equal fuel to every cylinder and run way to rich have cold start problems etc

That was an interesting update. I used to do a lot of motorcycle carb work, the newer the bike the more difficult it is to get working properly without the stock intake system. Honda's with 3 jet carbs are the most difficult (3 jets are pilot, primary main and secondary main) The problems are usually around transition points, fix jetting at one rpm/throttle position and it may get so bad engine stops running somewhere else. Motorcycle carbs can also have fuel problem as float bowl heat up, always an issue on short stops as fuel evaporates and fills intake system. Best thing to do is start with throttle fully wide open and let some vapor escape, be ready to shut throttle quick as engine fires up. There are various other things I do to improve fuel delivery but it involves modifying internal parts of carbs.

Your bit on the throttle cable reminded me: I used to drive a 'vette. OK OK OK, full disclosure: it was a Chevette. It was the first car I bought after losing my right leg and it was a manual. I tied a rope to the throttle cable and attached a handle so my left thumb could help steer while providing a solid base from which to pull. Other than braking my left hand did most of the work. Way fun way to drive. :-)

Another parts source option for the E51 (AW11 supercharger gearbox) is the ST205-GT4 (E154F) gearbox. I got one and transferred the internals into my MR2 superchargers' E51 case -- I think the Caldina GT4 manual boxes should also be a good source of a replacement internals. The bonus is you get :- triple cone second gear synchro and doubles on several other gears). I did this with my AW11 and the shifting is so good!

I simply cannot wait for the next series! I have a project that is going to be powered by a 4g63 turbo. I have a computer, all the supporting parts, and the fitting of the engine is underway as we type. I am pretty nervous about the initial setup and tuning of the project, I hope that you will continue to guide me as you have since I found your channel last year. Thanks for what you do!

Good to see someone giving the 4AFE the appreciation it deserves. I personally have a Toyota S engine powered car and I'm in the process of retrofitting a 5SFE engine because they're so cheap and attainable, I've been telling all my friends who are looking for 4AGE engines to simply buy a wrecked 7AFE powered Corolla because you can get a good condition engine for such a good price. Sure the FE heads aren't perfect but they're a whole lot better than people give them credit for.

Hey man I don't know about shipping but if you need any interior or body parts or dashboards a guy dumped a bunch of aw11 stuff off to me years ago and I want it gone. It's free to you just split shipping with me. And this is all dope!!! I'm usually a 4age guy. I have a 4ag in my ae92 wagon with a "custom" single Weber side draft (actually I saw the video where you were checking gze Pistons on the 4afe head and figured I could put a 4age head on a 4afe bottom end). I love this build series and you are giving me a bunch of bad ideas!!! Thanks for the content!!!

Great to see the updates. Smart to update to an e51 transmission, but it is a pain (as you confirmed). Mounts and the car body itself are different on the SC versus the NA model of the MK1. Another option for those considering staying NA….the ITB’s of the 20V 4AGE. The improved throttle response is driven by eliminating a large intake manifold, further compromised with the VTIS of the large port 16V 4AGE. This allows you to get the noise and throttle response of the bike carbs while maintaining the benefit of computer controlled fuel injection.

Best mod for any machine, though expensive, hands down is a helical diff. Glad to see you're sticking with it. =]

thanks fot the bikecarb recap. Looking to potentialiy do something similar on mine

To overcome the throttle pedal travel issue, could you not bolt on an interim step-down wheel where the pedal actuates a 'car sized' wheel with a 'bike sized' step down tethered to the carb throttle wheel. Possibly would help to smooth out the initial resistance also as you've have more torque over a wider travel. You could also mount it anywhere.

I know it's a bit late to the game now, but did you look at your pilot jet settings for the hot start issues? Seems like turning the pilots in 1/4-1/2 turn could help that low engine speed fueling.

Let’s say you’ve got any random supercharger and you want to mount it on your engine. How do you align the v-belt to your supercharger pulley and how do you make it a mounting bracket?

Most stock Japanese cars from some time after the 80s had dispensed with progressive throttles and are almost impossible to drive smoothly. My 2003 Accord is like that, as well as a friend's 2012 Mazda. I noticed it at the time and was told it's for a "sporty feel." Right. Moving on, I like the mesh on the carbs. Ingesting various animals into the engine also makes smooth driving a challenge due to the mixture ratio being hard to calibrate and the smell of burning flesh can be a distraction and safety hazard as your mind shifts to thoughts of lunch. Well done. 😉

It probably would have made more power with bigger carbs. quick search says the are 34-36mm somewhere. a 37mm runner dropped the power from 150kw to 125kw one of my setups. would have gained a little bit before it fell over due to higher air speed earlier

I read "Out with the old, in with the new" in ChrisFix's voice.

just a little question on carbs : I heard that you need to mount them flat in order that they work perfectly, but it seems that it was not the case on your engine. Have you heard about that on your side and finally it doesn't matter, or it is something you were not aware? or is it something you need to take care on carbs for cars and not with carbs for bikes?

@d4a

Something like a side draft weber must be flat. But most bike carbs are cv carbs and they usually sit at about 45 degrees. This is of course model dependant and different bikes mount their engines in different ways and thus design the carb float and float bowls to accommodate for that.

But with a supercharger you’re going to need a blow off valve because the supercharger will drag on the engine during high rpm and closed throttle condition. But if you have throttle before supercharger it’s not a problem
