20V ST performance parts?

[Rizzi]

AoA PW community..

just wondering if there's a possibility to source a 20V (silvertop) VVT pulley from Bilal Gunj or anywhere in Lahore and even a low boost turbocharger for it..

If I'm correct , I think I'll require a different gasket in order to reduce the compression ratio? (or to sustain the compression that will form with the addition of the turbo? not to sure on the boosting application :S)..

also is it correct that 4Agze pistons will fit in the 20v ST ?

Basically just looking for any parts that can help with increasing the performance on my Levin back home.. So far only got spark plugs, ignition leads and hid for it . . .

Thanks for the advice...

-Australia has much bigger market for 4age parts and in better condition than the bilal gunj
- t3/t4 turbo
- new thicker metal head gasket to sustain boost pressure, to reduce compression ratio. actual engine isnt designed to run on turbo. so if you decide to turbo you will still be on low boost and maynot sustain engine damage in case of boost spike
- yes.
- well if engine is running good i wont recommend opening it,so do the experiment on a spare engine block.

As for performance on drag strip.. use ITB. yr car as stock designed to perform on street use not drag.
add a injector cooler
tune with a standalone ecu

plus there is lots more like using TRD performance parts for 300 plus horsepower gain.

ITB shown

you will have to use manifold air pressure sensor instead of air flow meter ..though

Thanks Levin, you highlight some good points..

I've been browsing a fair bit of sites back in brissy , eg. twincam.org.au , 4age.net, toymods.org etc

you're right about the car being designed more for track performance than drag.. which is good in a way because I can go abouts in the city area and cops won't look at me much as its a pretty civilized car under 3500rpm..

see the thing is , where I had my Levin imported through, the other fellas who bought it from there are reporting a diesel like sound from the engine=which is turning out to be a dying VVT pulley which is pretty costly there.. mine has done about 71,324kms and for the hammering I've given it in the week before I came to Pak. didn't notice anything .. but I thought just incase I'll get a spare VVT pulley from here.. can always sell it back there..

apart from that .. really just looking to get any NA mods to increase its (already tweaked) setup..

eg. extractors/headers, cold air intake, spark plugs, exhaust (done that with stainless steel from catback) and any others that are suggested worthwhile

I'll shuddup now.. lol

ok.. engines are in peshawer/islambad,, ther is hardly any good engine here in lhr.

[levin]

rizzi, thks for pics quite educative.:),, and yes parts you require all avaliable easy and cheaper from peshawer from 2nd hand stock engines.

[Rizzi]

^^ no worries man, if they helped out cool

thanks for the tips, I'm not too sure I'm going to be anywhere near Isb/Peshawar, but it's something I'll keep in mind

Thanks again.

rizzi:

pics interesting because i noticed the exhaust i designed for my car is similar to one you have,, not the twin exhaust type

[levin]

there is a pipe opening attached to afm thick rubber intake,,on other side (i marked with red arrow) where is that rubber pipe going?..can u take a pic of that side

[Rizzi]

lol, this is pretty surprising.. but like searching up for some parts I did take a pic of that side when I bought the car.. so here's the pic.. pass me your hotmail and I can forward you better pics .. instead of resizing and downgrading quality :S..

[levin]

rizzi:i sent you email to reply on.

THis is going to crack up a few but here it goes

These seats, are they possible to source in Lahore? cause I wanna get seat covers for them !! in Brisbane bloody 1000$ minimum for the same stuff (exactly same) that we get done for 3500-4000rs here.. so yeah anyone know where I can get this seat here, so I have measurements to give to seat cover maker ? or should these fellas be good enough to look at the pics and make them ??

@ Rizzi

I have about 4 engines in Bilal Gunj, all silvertop. I would recommend you take one back if you can afford the shipping and get into australia. Since you don't need any wiring, gbox, etc, you might be able to get a good deal on the engine and you could use it for turbocharging experiments.

I read an article on the internet where this drifting chap in Japan had installed two parallel running toyota ct-12 turbos on his 20V! Those turbos run for about 2-3000 rupees here.

Cheers

OOPs! I meant I have 'seen' the silvertops at Bilal Gunj.

And yes the seats are available here but you will have to do a shop by shop search.

If you are interested in performance parts, then I have a set of brand new headers lying with me.

Cheers.
