Thread: oldeskewltoy... says Hi!

Thats me... the above photos are about 2 years old now.

As for old photos of me... (from 1976) below is me and a friend, I'm the one who was working....



I'm pulling my first engine... the car is a 1968 Volvo 1800S, I'm using the "tools at hand" a come-along, and basketball backboard


I've spent most of my life in the automotive industry, having worked as a tech for VW, Toyota, and of course Datsun... yep, I worked for Datsun a LOOOOOONG time ago.

More recently (past 5 years) I've been learning the "black art" :teehee: of cylinder head porting :eek2:

I've got some special equipment, one of which is a flowbench.



For those who do not know what a flowbench is, it is a tool used to measure a cylinder heads ability to pass the air and fuel charge - both in, and out of the head.

The above photo shows a Toyota largeport 4AG head, below is some testing numbers generated on a largeport 4AG head



As you can see from the charts, porting actually can improve the cylinder heads performance without any other modifications.


One of my earliest clients (owner of OST-005) has moved on from his 4AGE powered MG, he is now racing a P10 Primera/G20, and he asked me to look @ an SR20DE head.......

More to come.......

Dan, it was OST-008 with the HKS 264/256 package.
I had this permanent-blowing-ultra-unreliable AE86. Do not understand why all people admire that pile of crap that much
It handles great, looks like a car from the 80s - designer teams were finally alowed to use a ruller.

But hey - thank you for helping me out. I like your attitude and the way you support me!

To moderators.... I know I'm a newbie on this forum... can you at least allow me access to this thread...

as I'm the head porter, and I'd like to show what I'm doing....

hmmmmm, I did confuse you... you swapped me the HKS crank then...... darn its been a while.....

@BenFenner

Welcome oldeskewltoy. It looks like you're replying in the other thread now, so I assume all is well.

Welcome to the forum.

thanks Ben and Kyle.....

a few more details about me... my car is a 1983 Toyota Corolla sport coupe..... aka Surreptitious.




She is powered by a 170hp(145whp), emissions compliant (Oregon), n/a 4AGE.




The power is routed through a J160 6 speed (Aisin Industries AZ6)





Here is a brief ride... video sucks, but the sound is pretty good
