Things are a bit serious. Just been banned for a week for commenting on the daily stare. Thought I would Try it over here. Time for a new sticker maybe.

[midenginedmaniac]

Thanks. I have done lots of mods. The LED tail Lights and Leather Retrim being my latest. Hope the mods are not as sensitive on here.

some of your mods would probably be frowned upon by some of the die hard mk1 fanatics but as long as you stay out of the mk1 section you should be ok

not sure i'm understanding your reason for getting banned on the OC though? did you actually say something offensive or just something that one of the almighty didnt like?

[midenginedmaniac]

I wont say the word on here but if you have seen full metal jacket its the G word used to discribe the Oriental Folk. Did not realise it was such a bad word. I am so sorry.

what trd mods does it have?

[midenginedmaniac]

The worst type. Stickers only. I have no Idea if anything was modded in the 20 years of ownership but I have put nothing on.

[mikee66]

why the stickers then?

[midenginedmaniac]

When I got the car it had a model red car screwed to the dash. I needed a sticker and it was the one that took my fancy in the shop. I had no Idea who TRD were. Jimi Made me the bracket and put the sticker on it for me. Maybe I should get some TRD bits for the car to go with the stickers.

[mikee66]

i wasn't aware of any trd parts for the mk1?

[midenginedmaniac]

Here is the list. Plenty to choose from. I may have something already and I never knew.

Phase One: STREET PERFORMANCE

Results: Slight decrease in ride quality, improved handling,
improved braking 10-15 hp increase.

TRD Springs
TRD Adjustable Sway bars
TRD Low pressure gas strut inserts
TRD Brake pads
TRD Brake line kit (drain and install ford type fluid)
TRD Header and Exhaust System
High Flow Air filter
Recalibrate fuel injection system (See Engine Preparation Section)

Reset alignment:

Camber Front: -1 degree
Camber Rear : -1 "

Caster : +6 "

Toe in Front: 1/16 in.
Toe in rear : 1/8 in.


Phase Two: AUTO CROSS, STREET PERFORMANCE AND ROAD RACE
(Dependent upon class restrictions)

RESULTS: Decrease in ride quality (lowers ride height 1.5-2 in.),
dramatically improved handling, improved braking.

Instead of phase one equipment:

TRD High pressure gas struts
TRD Springs

Reset Alignment:

Camber Front: -2 degrees
Camber Rear : -1 1/2 degrees

Caster : +6 degrees

Toe in front: 1/16 in. ( 1/8 in. out for auto cross)
Toe in rear : 1/8 in. ( 1/16 in. out for auto cross)

All phase one Modifications, Plus:

TRD Urethane Bushings
" Front and Rear strut tower braces
" Negative camber blocks
" Front and Rear adjustable camber kits
" Engine Modifications ( see Engine Modifications section)
" Light weight fly wheel
" Heavy Duty Clutch
" LSD
" Performance Ratio Ring and pinion Set
" Close ratio transmission gear set

Section 3.3 (Summary)

Engine Components: 4AG

"The bottom end of the 4AG has proven extremely reliable in all
types of performance applications, and the stock connecting rods and
crankshaft will withstand up to 170 hp and 8000 rpm. For applications where
higher hp or rpm are desired, Carillo rods, our TRD billet crankshaft and
dry sump lubrication is required."

"The original fuel injection system is capable of delivering
sufficient fuel to support 140hp with only minor adjustments (see engine
preparation section). Engines that develop over 170 hp will require larger
injector nozzles."


4AG Engine Recommendations


Phase One: Street Performance

Results: Although there are no internal engine modifications, this
phase is no emissions legal. Modifications cause no reduction in low speed
drivability and there is a 15-20% hp increase over a usable power range
from 3000-6500 rpm.

TRD Exhaust header and high flow exhaust
Recalibration of fuel injection system (see engine preparation section)
TRD Spark plug wire Set
TRD Adjustable camshaft gears

Phase Two: Street Performance, Rally, Road Race

Results: With no internal modifications or decrease in drivability,
there is a increase of 25-30% hp increase over a usable power range of
3000-8000 rpm.

TRD Exhaust header and high flow exhaust
Recalibration of fuel injection system (see engine preparation section)
TRD Spark plug wire Set
TRD Adjustable camshaft gears
TRD Camshafts (272 duration intake 272 duration exhaust 7.5mm lift)


Phases 3-5 require internal modifications


4AGZ vs. 4AGE internal differences.

Strengthened block
Dished forged pistons
Connecting rod journal diameter increased from 40mm - 42mm
Piston pin diameter increased from 18mm - 20mm


This Catalogue also has listings for:

Carbs
Fuel injection modification kits (the second kit includes a potentiometer
and wiring required to adjust the injector pulse.) ,

12 different cams with lift from 7.5mm - 10.7mm

Short blocks with 12.7:1 compression ratios

Oil pump gear set (high volume for stock pump)
Oil pan baffles(for stock pan)

2 flywheels

As well as the aforementioned suspension pieces.
