As far as I know :

I have a GZE from the Mk1 Mr2 from japan. 1989
140 / 145 bhp.

The pulley I fitted with my mechanic is 157mm
This way I did not have to put a 4age timing pointer or modify anything else.
Its a fairly small upgrade.

We changed the oil and the cooling liquid.
Fitted an oil cooler and oil relocation kit.

As far as I know I have 4age injectors 4age waterpump etc.
Most of the stuff is 4age.
The block is 4agze as it was swapped by a pro.

It's weird... the only thing that comes to mind is that maybe in the oil filter theres some air or something... It sounds like that.

I only hear it when driving and sometimes it stops and then all of a sudden you hear it very loud.
It's not consistent but it is most of the time present.
When the engine is cold I dont hear it but when the oil temp is rising you hear it more and more...
Thats why I think theres air in the filter... but hey? I am a dumbass

There is no such thing as a '4AGZE block'. It's the same as the NA. Only difference is the pistons.

Your pulley sounds to be HKS size at most to me, which gives not much over standard, but that's okay.

GZE uses the same waterpump as the GE, no reason to be any different.

Not sure what you mean by the noise. I did have a look at the vid. Bit of an odd place to relocate your oil filter to though, seeing as it's miles away from the stock position.
