I really find car builds like these more amusing to watch and very informative. Its just very subtle but full of detail and not super crazy. Nice to see an update on this corolla hope to see it in a small track next time around
I’m essentially living in the Elise now. The MX-5 is no Elise replacement. I wanted to get back to my Miata roots as I used to have a supercharged NA Miata.
I saved a video from 7 years ago, when I first started to fall in love with Japanese cars. It's been a treat for me to go back and watch you driving some 4age on camera. Crazy. It turns out that after so many years, I only still long for and love the sound of that video. I've been mocked for talking about it, as if it's not so heavenly like maybe I think it is. Well! Earlier last year, I watched more of the fX16 content, and I was very excited! I regret to say, it took me all up until now to subscribe. I think I'll be glad I did, because you're still doing it! I love it. Hope to see more
Surely you could get someone to weld on a bung for a radiator fan sensor relay straight on the radiator instead of having those janky inbetweeners? Don't know exactly what its called in english but its like a temp sensor but its a thermostat sensor, meaning that it doesnt let through any voltage until a certain temp, where it lets through the signal to the relay.
@@sushpants it was called thermostat switch, you can prob take the one from the adapter thing and if you know the thread, just buy an aluminium bung and find some guy near you that welds aluminium. This is the same method as I will do on my n13 pulsar sr20 swap later when I find a new job and garage again.
Been watching these videos for a while now... inspired me to get a 4door twin cam 16 ae82 here in Australia. Currently painting it, and I've now swapped to a silvertop 20v but am stuck in the wiring. Appears to need the body loom and the loom for computer/ignition spicing in. I ve added the original Ae101 loom to engine plus the silvertop computer in passenger footwell, but from here I'm stuck! Did you have any tips or diagrams for your conversion?
YYYEEEEEESSSSS NEW POST XD Keep up the good work I love your vids hahahaah Not to mention I was doing 4AGE 20v iTB sounds before I stumbled on your new vid, hahaha I have summonned thee I guess XD
Cheers. If you haven't gotten the Li-Ion battery yet, I'd recommend going for a LiFePo4 one, they handle temperature better than the ion ones and most importantly, they don't burn. They cost about the same but if I recall correctly the LiFePo4 ones are a tad heavier, still far lighter than a lead acid and far safer than a Li-Ion.
Man I really hope you answer my comment as i am having a hard time right now. I have a 1995 trueno sprinter with the blacktop 20v 4age and I am getting excessive vibration and my mechanicly inclined friend said it could be the crankshaft pulley? Does this sound right? and do you have any recommendations of a how to on removing the pulley with engine in the car. Please man I would hate to have to let this car go

I’m not familiar with that auto trans but the blacktop came with an auto trans you might be able to use instead. But your really need the 6 speed for the blacktop to shine.
I like that work light, what is it? I've been running an Anti-Gravity LiFeP04 battery in my Celica for about 8yrs, worth it! 3lbs with brass terminal adapters, but you gotta get a tender setup for that battery, I use a CC/CV buck to drop 19V laptop charger down to 13.4 volts to float the battery when I'm not driving it.

It’s flexible heat blanket for a Miata header. I got it from Good win racing. I originally had one on my supercharged NA Miata and it worked great. It’s held on with metal zip ties.
Depending on where your cluster temp sensor is located, you can put in a T or Y fitting for that fan controller sensor, or tap the manifold. It looks a lot cleaner than cutting a hose.
@@sushpants (Lower hose may not be ideal as it’s the already cooled coolant from radiator to engine, better to get proper engine coolant temp reading from hot side at upper hose, or behind the head cuz 20v)

@@sushpants Oh I didn't realise you got the atom damn. Sounds like the exact same situation as I found myself in after buying a Haltech E750, ran out of I/O and had to buy an expansion box which ended up costing more than it would have to buy an E2000 instead from the get go xD

Thank you Renz
@@sushpants missed your videos..hope to see more soon
I have a big one that I’m finishing up right now. It should be done by this weekend.
Missed u sushpants gotta post more often your content is awesome
Thanks man!
June 2021 was the last time we saw this car in action. Hopefully, we see some more soon. 👀
So you sold the Elise for an MX-5?

You look like Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris at the same time lol (sorry I didn't mean to offend you if that offended you)

Odyssey ODS-AGM16LMJA Powersport Battery (PC680MJT) ( save some weight you might enjoy)
That was the battery I was looking to put in. It’s going to free up a lot of room in the engine bay.

thats funny i used sika urethane on my RMM on my glanza V worked amazing
Maybe I need to try a different urethane mix besides energy.
would you ever want to sell the rhd fx? if so how much would you part with it for? tried to find an email to contact you at but i cant anywhere!
The RHD FX is really special to me so I won’t be selling it. You can DM me on Instagram.

I'm going to post a video on my motor mounts. I solved this problem long ago. Pulled my ae82 down to the shop, gonna get it back on the road.
Hello, awsome information, thank you
Any suggestion on a cheaper alternative to control ignition on a cop system?
Miata? Omg omg.
Yay uploads
Where do you shop online for parts
Depends on the parts. Rock auto has been decent lately.
Can’t believe I didn’t know about this channel before! Glad I found it!
Brrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrr
Thanks for sharing an update 👍🏽 love the outro music
I know this is going to be good!
love your videos man... !

Is it vibrating all the time? Motor mounts would be the first thing to check. Do you have an aftermarket crank pulley?
its such a weapon..
Thanks Jackson!
Dude, you have a flexible thumb! I also blame you for the 20V purchase that is now sitting on an engine stand in my garage.

Love the car man. Those ITBs sound so sick
Thanks for the update ! super interesting stuff
hope the corolla will be on the road soon...
Watching your videos gets me hyped to get my AE111 on the road!, Cheers!
IS BACK!!!!
I filled my mounts with window weld too and it is too soft, the engine shakes when i shift gears but maybe it depends on the brand (i didn't use 3m)
Nice!!
Why dont you use the ecu to trigger the radiator fan .
Lack of outputs on the atom x ECU which is why I recommend going to monsoon over the atom.
Where did you buy that exhaust manifold insulation from? Is it bolt on?
It’s flexible heat blanket for a Miata header. I got it from Good win racing. I originally had one on my supercharged NA Miata and it worked great. It’s held on with metal zip ties.
@@sushpants Ok, thank you for this information 👍What are main benefits of using this heat blanket?
nice setup, is it possible to get a zip copy of you tune 4age 20v map for the atom x ecu
Big cams and a stroker kit next?? :P
Big cams for sure but I like the high revs so no stroking.
How are the super pro bushings?
The lower control arm bushings are great. I have a full set of bushings I need to install from super pro.
Depending on where your cluster temp sensor is located, you can put in a T or Y fitting for that fan controller sensor, or tap the manifold. It looks a lot cleaner than cutting a hose.
True, I’m going to stick in-between sensor on the lower hose so it should be out of sight.
@@sushpants what have u done to distributor? U delete it and install something else ???

haha i done that engine mount trick to all my 20vs engine mounts and its awesome
Any tips or guides on how to wire a 20v into an ae82? Put a silver top and harness in mine but unsure how to connect it to the ignition and body loom.

@@TitillatedGoat thanks for the reply, I have the fuse box and loom from a Levin too fortunately! ...switches it is then :)
You can actually just use a DPO on the Link to control the fan based on coolant temp btw
If only I had some more outputs on the atom *sigh . It’s why I recommend getting the monsoon.

Try to add turbo to this engine and see how it can be
This engine is tuned for naturally aspirated performance already, a turbo would ruin its characteristics without a lot of extra work.
Sounds like he wants to drive it, not have a perpetual project.
It would be good at making power with a turbo but lose the responsiveness and that’s really what I’m chasing.
