troy's 90 sw20 and 89 s/c aw

[Troyhaima]

yea thats somthing i havnt decided on yet. i put them on marked up the holes then took them back off so it dosnt look as stupid as my last on looked. (muilt coloured)
im thinking on keeping it the same coulour but ill see what i do. this car may stay standard for long time yet. mate has just offered me a black top 20v for the aw. so tempting . then kowing me ild propably start doing work too the engine w=before it would go in.

[Troyhaima]

finally got the aw back on friday all ready for the road. got a hold of my mate and took it for a drive up to the port hills.



found out i had a bit of a problem though. i was told that will driving all my mates saw was large clouds of blue smoke being left bhind in the corners.
so once got home and let it cool down checked the oil and it wasnt even reading. maby thrashed it around runapuna too hard .
on sunday mate called me up letting me know he had a friend with an ae111 with a black top in it. so now ive got that sitting here at home. taking engine out of that to replace the silvertop.
so if any one needs any parts for a ae111. let me know cuse im parting it out.
thanks for the help with the car simon

The AW11's seemed to be using a bit of oil that track day. Simon was using more water & oil that petrol!

[Troyhaima]

dont think it was as bad as it was saturday. saturday any time you put your foot down it just plumed out blue smoke with 15w 40. now iv got 20w 50 in it lasting longer but still see smoke when im heavy on accelerator

[Troyhaima]

hey guys just brought some bucket seats for aw. rail wise should i find some old aw rails and fix the seat too that. or dose some one make some?

[Troyhaima]

well finaly decided to grab some photos of the bucket seats and the lavin that i brought for its engine.




about a week ago my mate with his blacktop aw all of a sudden stoped working. played around with it. had spark, fuel and timing corect. so ended up toeing him across to the other side of town. having a good larugh through the hand helds with him telling me he was strugling to see at times cus of all the blue smoke.



this week finaly got the use of an engine crain and started to take out the engine. so i can get rid of car and put aw in garage and start the transplant.





am so pleased i brought my battery impact driver home. made the job so much easyer. also is that an aftermarket clutch on there?

[JasonFriday13]

Yep, looks like an Xtreme clutch to me.

[Troyhaima]

hmm am going to have to play around see if i can fit that into the aw gearbox

[Troyhaima]

well i got a full week of last week to start doing the engine swap on the aw. went a hell of a lot eayser than i expected. took me and a mate over 2 full weeks to do turbo engine swap in a sw.
monday: got engine all unpumed so it was all ready to drop the next day.
tuesday: droped engine, split gearboxs apart, measured up the flywheels and cluch to see if i could use the exceedy that was on blacktop. measured up all the same so swaped them all around and put the gearboxs on other engines.
wensday: didnt get anything on aw done since was getting rid of the levin and silvertop and gearbox.
thursday: with a lot more room got the motor back in and all plumed up ready for new loom.
friday: played around with the seats trying to figure out how to do the sliders. as well as putting on new stearing wheel which has given my knees a lot more room now. also got ass end sitting up in air hopfully letting air bubbles out of the sistem
now one good thing is the guy who picked up the levin. has got a mate who is a tuner and automacanic. hes coming around this sunday to help me thought out this mess and put in the new loom

[Troyhaima]

so last week end got my car wired up on the sat and sunday. then got it fired up on the monday . then tusday drove it a 1-2 km down the rd to exuast place with no exuast on it. Dam was it loud.




so much nicer than it originly was.


then got a full new exuast made up for it on the tuesday. using the headers off the levin






only problem at moment is at moment at low rpm half foot and futher it boogs down in power. so need to find out if its over or under fueling.


also i may have brought my self another mr2. . its 86 with the later year tail lights and center consol. other wise its pretty stock. well maby it is a supercharged engine in a n/a body. before i brought it it was a twin charge set up. was removed before i brought it. so at moment am putting the original injectors in it to hopfully stop it over fulling. at moment has evo injectors in. also has a after market fuel pump. which is bloody noisy. brilant car. but my bigest problem is that it hasnt been on the rd since early 2012. so a project car at moment. hopfully get it on rd at some point i find whats stopping it from being on rd. will grab som pics at a later date.

pics of new car






busy changing over the fuel injectors. left one is a 4agze. the right is a evo injector



after market fuel pump. bloody noisy


some stuff iv found lieing around in engine bay. any one know were thes plugs go or if they are not needed


and these pipes any one know were ther meant to conect. im gessing big ones join together?

[rocco26]

Hi Troy,
Why are your photos so hard to view ? Are the files too big? I don't want to rain on your parade,but are you doing something wrong?

[JasonFriday13]

In that plugs photo, my guess is that the blue one is for the factory air bypass valve (this is usually bypassed for running higher boost), the yellow one for the supercharger pressure equalisation valve, and the brown one is for the fuel pressure regulator valve. (I found this out from Mr. Google).

Looking at your photo a bit more, I see that the abv valve (blue plug) is already bypassed (there's a cap on the intake pipe where the hose used to be). The manifold pressure hose goes into a tee and then straight to the fuel regulator, which bypasses the fuel pressure valve (brown plug). The other end of the tee goes somewhere, I can't see where in those photos. Also there should be a valve bolted to the top of the supercharger, this is for pressure equalisation but it looks like this has also been removed (yellow plug).

Standard engine bay for reference:


And in that last picture, yes the two big ones join together.

[Troyhaima]

sweet thanks for that. yea reason for shit photos will probably cuse its off the phone. never looked in to getting a camera yet. maby something i should look into.

[JasonFriday13]

The quality is fine, it's just that one hose that disappears off the end of the last photo. Not a big deal since you were photographing something else.

I take it the car was running before you did this work? I would say don't worry about those plugs, just cable-tie them to some other wiring.
