Making the BIKE CARB 4AGE AW11 road LEGAL

- The bike carb 4age aw11 is finally on the road! It's still far from perfect but the bike carb 4age sings its first real notes!
Before the driving there is a pretty big intro where I bring you guys up to speed on what has been going on with the aw11 recently and why it wasn't driven sooner. All the details are in the video, but to keep it short the main problem was a fauly ignition coil pack that had me running around in circles and troubleshooting the carbs and everything else instead of it (as it was brand new). The other problem was a newly discovered leaky radiator. I tried to get a guy to weld me up a new radiator locally, but that failed miserably. Somehow I managed to find and order a brand new radiator from the Netherlands, and it will arrive in week. But here's the problem I went ahead and finished the paperwork for the temporary plates so the car would be ready as soon as the newly locally welded up aluminum radiator was done. The temporary plates are the only reasonable way to get the car on the road and onto a technical inspection after which it received the regular plates and becomes road legal. My plates are valid for 2 more days, I have a leaky radiator and I have to go to have the car inspected, because once the temp plates expire you have to pay a tow truck and that costs way too much money. So the only way out is to install the leaky radiator and hope the staff doing the technical inspection don't notice it. So that's exactly what we will doing in this video.
We also don't have an alignment, no front sway bar, the carbs aren't tuned but none of that will stop us. We are going all or nothing! Watch the video to see how it went.

Is the AW11 too much to handle? How about a model instead :) : amzn.to/2BPp1aE
A great book on MR2 performance and tuning: amzn.to/31OlRyb
AW11 Haynes: amzn.to/2Pqz0Ls
My AE92 used to rev hang like that. It turned out to be the choke was sticking.
Congratulations, man! The car sounds awesome. And the automatic weight reduction feature, where random parts fall off every now and again... pure genius. :D
Good luck with the finishing touches. :)
Hi, I've owned these car's for 21 years, I currently own 5 😂 although only 2 are road worthy, when doing any work on the cooling system you have to take particular care in bleeding air out of the system which can also affect idle. My main AW11 is a JDM Supercharger enjoy.
had this same issue as well... had to bleed the system like 5+ times !
So glad I just found this channel. I'm a huge fan of the AW11 so it's great to see content being made on this car. I have so much to watch!
Congrats man! So cool to see this car driving on the road! I will have to keep an eye out for a bad coil pack on mine as well. You can definitely hear the 2 cylinder misfire in the first drive footage. I'm glad you were able to get it all sorted out and not damage anything! Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to more driving content to come!
I cried tears of joy today... I can't believe it that it was running on two cylinders, and I completely understand the second guessing of everything you've touched. I do it all the time. Had to put a thermostat housing in an 07 passat last week, whilst the customer hung around the shop. The feeling of unease was palpable. Love ya bruv, the carbs sound good! Time for a fine tune!
"Look what I own, it's an ancient piece of carbage, from the 80s" That cracked me up
Sadly "Made in Germany" no longer means quality. :/
It does. But if you buy from a cheap importer and dont question why the "Quality" you expected is so cheap then yeah... I dont think you should say German quality isnt good.
His part was from germany, a dude that he doesnt know made this part. This dude might have not had the skill needed to make the part!
a lot of stuffs still in good quality but as china could make a good stuffs, germans could make crap stuffs too
Yeah Hamburg technic is absolute shit
@29:00 "LOOK WHAT I OWN, IT'S AN ANCIENT PIECE OF garbage" XD lmao
every aw11 owner ever when rolling up to anywhere
@@jamesrobertson3853 true, not garbage at all, just jokes.
On a sidenote, if it can do 250 that probably wasn't really standard anymore. 3sgte swap maybe?
Really different roar with the 4 pistons working, dude. Better, of course, even with the not so good mic. The subtitles about caring about Earth were just funny, just appearing while talking about being good on having more emissions license! Really enjoy these spontaneous videos and your editing after. Well, I have a different approach on environment but it requires some beers to talk about. Seeing all the road (videos) until here made me taste a little of your excitement. Great job so far and congratulations dude, even knowing, by the list of videos, just like the 3rd person game POV drive, which I've seen, that you made improvements. I wish you all the best. I salute you!
That first drive when your project hits the street. It's always a nervous exciting experience! One eye on temp guage the whole time, praying it all goes to plan. I'm happy for you man! Looking forward to seeing you iron out the bugs. Can't believe you passed the road worthy test with no horn? Lol.
All they really care about is breaks. They also saw it was a restoration project and I did promise it will all be perfect and explained the situation with the temp plates and they were thankfully very understanding.
It is really nice to see your genuine sense of happiness when you're giving the car some throttle and getting over 4K.
If the radiator end tanks are still workable condition, a radiator shop should be able to use a generic length core and make it fit. My friend and I ordered a "direct fit" radiator from RockAuto it was all sorts of wrong. We went this route and it worked. I find with many of older Toyota's the aftermarket parts do not fit or work properly.
Yeah a lot of the aftermarket stuff for Toyota's is just utter garbage.
Say MOT fails you on all sorts of suspension items, you buy new ones from rockauto/europart or whatever, they'll be good for 2-3 years and then it's online shopping time again.
Congratulations mate ! Apart from a few little issues, those bike carbs sound amazing ! Now you've got me thinking about putting them on my 99' Corolla, i'm going to have to go over the bike carb installation part of the build again to see what i need. Cheers from Australia :)
Thrilling to watch as always. Thank you for sharing your adventures :) Love the ending !!
So awesome man! Reminds me of my Super Red 1989 Supercharged MR2. Sounds great and I can totally relate to the frustration as well as the feeling of triumph when something goes right. Looking forward to more vids. BTW your English is amazing.
Awesome! So glad you got to drive it. Hopefully mine will be back together to drive tomorrow!
Hi man, congratulations about the project, and best regards from Bulgaria! I was very exited when I saw your registration plates from Bosnia and Herzegovina, I just didn't believe it! At the very first time I suspect that you're blugarian, because of the red/white bracelet on your arm... In Bulgaria we call it Martenitza, and I didn't know that tradition is available in other countries...
Wish you all the best mate, and keep going!!!
Your excitement punching the throttle in the tunnel was great! It’s how I feel every time I take mine out :) but unfortunately mine is off the road pending a new radiator too. It started dying about 600km from home on a 2,500km road trip, but worked just well enough to get me home. Seems like we found around about the max life of those radiators!!
Thanks, glad I managed to convey the excitement :) 30 years is really impressive honestly. If you look at newer cars and the aluminum radiators they come with, the average they last is about 10 years if you're lucky. I've seen many go out after 4-5.
YESSSSSS SO MUCH LOVEEEEE. I love getting updates on this build!
New D4A vid is always a thumbs up :)
Svaka cast kolega! Odlican projekat
Pa nisu u nas samo rajseri ima i u nas ljudi sa znanjem.
Always love your content
If money wasn't so tight I would do the same build, but it's definitely on my bucket list!!
It really sounds amazing, especially in the tunnel! Funny to see you have a similar thing with temporary license plates for inspection: I had the same when I brought the Trueno to the inspection. The difference though is that I had to print them out and glue them to a piece of cardboard
Do you really have a trueno?
your videos inspire me to bring my MR2 back to life
"Shit, this thing is good! I built something that is good and aggressive! and fun! and exhilarating!"
*taps steering wheel out of joy*
Part: *fucks off*
39:25 So good to see finally beginning to enjoy the car after so much patience and hard work. I felt it too, lol
Love this video great job so happy for you
NICE!!! good job on that radiator find.
bet you slept good that night! Great Success!
@28:00 i can see it was all worth it from your face ^^ Car sounds AMAZING!
Thank you! This is only the sound from the cabin captured with a cheap mic, it really sounds special in person. I will try and capture it properly in future vids with better mics.
driving 4 answers A cool trick that people don’t realize or know... record your sound on a iPhone or a good smartphone (while you video) and then combine the audio with the video file later ! The microphones in smart phones or even older cellphones are much higher quality than the $15 ones you buy off Amazon that are supposed to be for using with action cameras. Ideally you can buy a used ZOOM brand sound recorders ... I have recorded concerts with those before, they are a proper musician spec audio company and used they go very cheap... Your audio is pretty bad to be honest ! Recording sound takes some research and patience. Try the cell phone for audio as a test, put the phone close to the rear as close to the engine as possible... then listen to your result with headphones, again iPhone headphones are overlooked by regular users however they are actually a high quality product ... experiment with positioning
@@alexjapanski6806 I have a brand new Zoom H1, but I didn't use it for this video because my focus was the first drive and technical inspection. I could barely make the video so I went for the simplest setup possible, a complex recording setup would have distracted me even further. The mic on the DSLR is a Rode Video micro, it isn't 15$, but it isn't a 100$ either and it's a directional mic that is great for capturing voice (which you can hear really well) but pretty bad at stuff like engine sounds. Smartphone recording only works with really good and expensive phones. I never owned an expensive phone because I break them every 2-3 months or so :)
man this brings back memories of my old 1985 4a-ge mr2
I have a blown head gasket on mine and I’m waiting on having that same face expression you had while driving that beauty !
Congrats!!!
Vidi se da je mnogo ljubavi i truda uloženo u ovu tojotu svaka čast!!! I čoveče taj zvuk je seksi o.o
Bro, that was perfection ^^.
16:29 - 16:37 It's funny how the NRF is indeed a Dutch company but the language is shown in Danish XD happy to see another aw11 hit the road again!!!
Dat was inderdaad vreemd om te zien.
Congrats friend
I had the same problem with the gsxr carbs I have installed on my samurai. The reason is that on the bike you have a wire for the throttle closing, which you dont have in the car. One way to fix it is increasing the stiffness of the return spring, by cutting it, only a bit is enougth. Hope it helps
braaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
Congratulation 👻😃 it sound sweet 😍 But dude, I really miss your intro 😳
There will be a new better one soon!
Nice work. I know that feeling but the wipers falling off, now that's a new one. LOL. I got my clutch changed and the master and slave but it's still slipping so I have been putting that off. We have adjusted everything too but it may just be the clutch I got, who knows. It's the first time running into this.
svaka cast , ovo je san , pozdrav od vlasnika 2zz corolle
19:16 "Up to speed" haha do you watch Donut Media as well?
I love this kind of videos of people restoring cars and dealing with the car when it fights back.
Oh man that first drive it sounded like a friggen subie boxer engine hahahah. Pretty much exactly what happened when the 7M in my supra stopped running after 20 minutes due to trigger signal loss and I redid all the wiring I had done multiple times and 6 months later I decided to check the CPS sensor which was a brand new hall-effect sensor and what do you know it was kaput.
i think you should do a MR2 car meeting with the community , it sound so amazing please drive save
Sadly there aren't many sporty toyota's you could literally count them on your fingers a lot of guys run GTI's or perhaps a BMW it's not even rare to see oldtimers.
It reminds me of my old 91 crx that ended up being about 7 different cars all smashed together. So much fun
Nice. Hope, soon you gonna finish what left.
Just one small stupid question - where goes little black hose from intake manifold (from side cylinder intake canal 1:28)?
Thanks. It goes to the brake booster.
It's impressive it ran so well on 2 cylinders
4age engines respond really well to longer intake trumpets. You should put the longest ones you can fit on your carburetors and you should notice some really good pickup!
wow we all didnt noticed it during the first start up
because from the carbs induction noise, it just sound the pistons are fine
but you had like half the power of the 4AGE with 2 and 3 cylinders not working
who knew the coil was broken because the Nodiz didnt flag any issues.
Singapore is very strict with these kinds of inspection
Bike carb conversion will be consider custom modification and wont be allowed on the road flat out
But for an track use only car or if you want to turn the car into a garage queen. It prob fine but will be a waste not to be able to drive the MR2
getting closer to being ready for the road and long trips
make sure to play some muffled eurobeats when driving
*running in the 90s*
That's funny, expecting to make next level power and running on only 2 cylinders. You looked pretty distressed.
Sounds great though. Hope nothing else falls off. The echo in the garage made up for the missing cylinders. I could definitely hear it outside.
Oh man, it's almost hilarious to find out why your car was "running rich".
It also sucks to hear about your radiator troubles. I could have just sent you my radiator (I bought it new when I bought mine 5 years ago) if you asked lol.
Damn it, never thought of that. But the shipping would probably be pricy and still a bit of a risk, as they might bend or damage it beyond usability during shipping. I got a new one with a warranty, I hope it will end up being cheaper in the long run :) but thanks for being awesome and offering.
39:26 the emotion that made the build worth it
Ah da.. kud veće sreće od prve vožnje nakon što je auto slagan xy vremena, i onaj osjećaj kad ga poklopiš a on krene nabirat.. Doista moraš napravit takvo nešto da bi isti osjećaj doživio 😁
Smijuljio sam se cijelo vrijeme kad bi te vidio da se kesiš od sreće haha. Svaka čast i samo jako.
Hvala na prelijepom komentaru!
Awesome!!!
hey how are you I would like to know when you put ITBS on a 4AGE 16v engine do I have do any rewiring
Yay!!!!
ah yes the tunnel-excitement everyone enjoys in their newly built cars
My 86 had rev hang just like that.ah memories.
This guy is cool a teacher yet so typical
Damn it, second.
xD
Me and my wife watching your video ☺☺☺
40 mins. You are too good to us man.
I had a similar issue with throttle hang up/high idle. It ended up being a post carb air leak
Thanks for the tip!
Ooh, you can definitely hear it's running on 2 in the driving footage. But yes, barely noticable in the short startup clip.
Pre kvalitetan sadrzaj. Samo naprijed ;-)
👍
try adding a stiffer spring to the throttle pedal or the carb. hanging happened on my carbd rx7 in the past.
and lube the inside of the throttle cable. on my miata that was ITS issue with hanging. cable was gross. i just WD40 it. or whatever penetrating lubricant you have around there.
Thanks for the tip man!
i always drive the car to inspection with fake plates and have someone driving behind me so that a cop doesn't get suspicious and hope they don't catch me, works every time XD
been waiting for this video for ever
Stock ecu ?
svaka čast, kako napreduje kawasaki?
za koji mjesec kupujem sličnog, gpz550s uni-track
Nista jos oko kawija, fali mi vremena. Ali bice sadrzaja uskoro. Sretno s bajkom :)
@@d4a fala
Welcome to bike carb life, bike carb = problems ... the rpm hanging will be either the throttle cable with little or no slack at all, or the carbs throttle lever sticking, thrust me, i know, happened to me.
Or the throttle return spring!
@D4A, 17:10
You said you're getting a Copper radiator correct?
I've heard of galvanic corrosion, mixing dissimilar metals with each other can cause massive corrosion issues which will then cause cooling issues. I would assume your aluminum head and block would also corrode heavily. I'm a fanatic with automotive and computers, and when i say computers, i do love the idea of watercooling computers, majority of radiators for computers are Copper, while radiators for automotive are aluminum since the block and head are aluminum, might as not mixed different metals together with coolant. Computers use copper for radiators for the higher efficiency in transfering heat i believe but rather expensive, only time i've heard of using aluminum radiators for computer is either
1.) if you're cheap as hell and buy the crap from aliexpress and make a cheap AF watercooling build with UNKNOWN parts then its rather okay to do so as long as all your components in the loop are aluminum (Can probably have brass, nickel plated brass and so forth)
2.) if the AIO's (all in one) cooling units that are pretty much rebranded asetek design pump and radiator combos that are built and most likely cannot be serviceable are only aluminum because CHEAP for materials most likely.
Watch this video from awhile back if you got time, czcams.com/video/Evab4rhd48I/video.html
The original radiator is copper. It lasted 32 years. That's all the science I need.
@@d4a hmm okay. I could of sworn you said original was aluminum.
Glad you got it running, though you came close to losing it in the tunnel. First, I had to laugh at the "inspection"...no horn, sticking throttle, and a leaking radiator...hmmm. Get the throttle fixed first. On your wideband, you cannot use the stock oxygen sensor location to get an accurate reading...read the instructions provided with the wideband to locate your new oxygen sensor (must be downstream of the collector, typically in the midpipe). Then you can monitor and tune the carbs. You should have been able to smell the excessive gas if running only on 2 cylinders. A quick test is to disconnect the spark lead from each cylinder see when running and listening for the engine slowing down; it will not make a difference on a "dead" cylinder (no ignition, no fuel, or low/no compression). Simple diagnostic check.
It was surprisingly easy to catch it in the tunnel , there was really no "snap" in it, pretty predictable. It just surprised me a bit as I forgot I had no alignment for a moment. When it comes to the sensor location, I always read instructions don't worry, I know this isn't perfect but it still gives a reading that is a reference point to see in which direction I'm going until I have a new header made. Some people install 4 of these sensors, one runner each and monitor each cylinder separately, so it's not a useless location. Spark test also familiar with, but as I said in the video I only tested cylinder 1 and assumed all others were firing, which was stupid of me. Technical inspection is all about the brakes, but definitely far less strict when compared to USA, UK, Germany, etc. They did turn a bit of a blind eye seeing as it's a restoration project and I did have to promise to fix up a bunch of things asap :)
Is that a 900 or 750R in the back.. I used to have 900 awesome machine
Gpz 750r that I bought recently and will be making road worthy again, it's a piece of junk right now. There's a video about it on my channel
Is it legal to drive with these modifications? Because in our country only changing the steering wheel requires like lots of money and paperwork and hassle. It's a nightmare
I live in the Balkans :)
Yahoo
Seeing that it was rich on full throttle and on idle look at the main jet and idle jet. I'm not experienced with your carbs but it looks like a jetting issue
7:14 me everytime I drive my car🤣
Hahaha!
How old are those t1r tyres?
4-5 months, driven for the first time in the video. They're just dirty
They looked so shiny i thought they were old. Those are very grippy tires, i love them. Shitty on the rain though.
Maybe its because he said something beforehand but this is the first video of this car Im watching.... and immediately I can tell the car is not running right. Having owned a few 4AGE cars you can tel the way its shaking and sounds like a boxer with a UEL that somethings not right. (I mean before he replaced the coil)
Baaarp baa ba ba barrrp
Check your throttle cable might need to be lubed and it’s sticking
Is a bike carb conversion the same as ITB conversion?
Nope, check out some of my older videos, it's all in there
@@d4a thanks
A temporary fix is putting jb on the outside near the radiator leak
Brate znao sam da nisi sa engleskog govornog podrucja, al da si iz Bosne, hahahah, i to Sarajevo. Veliki pozz

36:00 I want one 😀
Hit me up if you need car parts to be sourced! I can maybe help because I travel a lot between Finland and Poland.
when i put my 4age bluetop back in after re doing it... i had this same rpm hang issue... it was the throttle cable being too tight...
great vid !!!

congratulations!!!
Only thing, better 2 episodes of 20min than 1 for 40min ;)
disagree
Hurts to see you so frustrated, really!
Does the car have obd2 port. Pretty sure the scanner would have told you that only 2 cylinders were working
It's running NoDiz. NoDiz can't tell whether a bank of coils is firing or not. It can tell you that it is firing the coils but whether or not the coil itself is actually firing will always be a mystery until it is tested.
Couldn't have explained it better myself
There were no "OBD" ports when that car came out, you used a jumper wire to pull codes back then...
chimken
🤣🤣🤣
AFR gauge does not sense fuel, it senses oxygen. So your logic is wrong in this aspect - if you have misfire wideband will always show lean condition because of a lot of fresh air in the exhaust.
Also it doesn't sound like running on 2 cylinders to me... Neither on Lambda clip, nor on first drive clip... Still watching the video...
It didn't sound like running on 2 cyls to anybody :) but it was, I tested for it later, plain as day. Engine dies when you remove spark plug wires 1 or 4, absolutely nothing would happen when you remove 2 or 3.
@@d4a Yes, for sure! Engine tone definitely changed when you fixed it and power came up accordingly, but it's not strange that you missed it in the first place because it really sounded fine to me )) Usually when 2 cylinders on 4 cylinder engine are missing engine really struggles on idle. Maybe your "high idle" issue also contributed to this...
Respect cuz the norm "driver" would be shook to drive a real drivers car...... Can't fix it? finance a Camry
