This engine is the 2jz of the brazilian car culture. The engine block can take 8x the stock power with no serious modifications. It's reliable, powerful and ease to service. A great little engine. In brazil it is known as the "AP" engine, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0.

[@mrchilli8901]

Im guessing you are talking about the fuel injection version

[@renatorodrigues1189]

@@mrchilli8901 nope, any version after the md270 engine, the ea827, the iron block is very resistent and tuner friendly.

[@granbombarde16]

Mithic "Alta performance" engine, in had a VW 1.8 pointer with the AP and made more than 500,000km i gave it yo my dad and nowadays its still working

O motor q estraga projetos, só Tem Essa bosta Pra fazer projeto

[@fuhrer8026]

​@@GuilhermGs7 Qualquer um pode fazer o projeto que quiser em qualquer motor isso não significa que vai ficar bom ou que vai aquentar o motor AP e mais preparado por sua simplicidade resistência se fosse uma bosta não seria um dos motores mais preparados do Brasil vai em qualquer arrancada que você vai ver essa ''BOSTA'' de 1000cv 800, 700, 600, nos turbos e nos aspirados podendo chegar nos 300cv com nitro metano com álcool chega nos 200cv

[@keshwinbhana5115]

The 1.6 and 1.8 in South Africa when boosted kill some serious street cars this engine makes big power and also in natural aspirated with a good cam and exhaust they sound amazing one of the best engines ever

Thanks mate!😊 the carb is holding up great, have had some issues with the fuelpump, so considering an electriuc pump🤔

@@BobSmith-mc7uq 1000hp in ap engines in brazil is "normal" usin 65~87psi of turbo, and all internals forged, fueltech etc. the limit is 1200hp, the block crack´s in half, ap is the LS from brazil, any performance parts is avaiable, include billet block´s for more than 87psi of turbo uses.

[@FaskaRestoration]

I Love your Restoration Videos. They are very "simpel" just a nice Restoration no turbo no mods. Very satisfying. Btw. You used the wrong bolts for the valfe cover, so if its starts leaking its probably because of that.

[@Fredholm2]

Thank you, that means a lot! I really enjoy doing the basic, and find it a god start or good practice for any later mods that may come! Thanks for noticing, I will get my hands on the right bolts :)

[@ahmedm9557]

30:39 the best way to apply the silicone you have to put it from the in side to the outside❤

[@denchik9978]

Да, старый, добротный, проверенный времянем не убиваемый двигатель.

[@smoll.miniatures]

Thread 2 nuts on when inserting the studs. They can then be loosened from each other after instal and can be easily removed without vice grips

[@kalmaar125]

the camshaft cover goes with rubber seal not silicone. sometimes need to take it off and rubber seal is good for this.

I used Mobil 'mobilith sch 220'. That was the closes thing to assembly lube they hade at my local autoshop/partshop. You can use engine oil if it's not going to stand still for a long time before starting it. There are many other good assembly lubes, like redline. :)

wy not upgrade to an electric fuel pump? are way more reliable. Aftermarket rubber top seal is better to not have leaks the rubber end seal also needs a bit of silicone. To be sure i would use an alignment tool.

You should get oil preassure with the starter motor after a while. Not a lot but some oil should get into the oil filter. You could also get a cheap oil preassure gauge, just to be sure :) Good luck with your engine!

That's an easy way to burn up Valves by using assembly lube on them....should always use motor oil
