  1. i think they have the coil built in distributor. easy way is there a coil lead coming out of dizzy cap?
  2. if ya got a manual speedo cable in ya pile of bits i'll have it,my car was originally auto so didn't work with 5 speed. and guys,next year we can watch other makes takin it to the v8 supertaxis. hear nissan has already signed drivers and chrysler is keen too. v8 aurion??? :yes:
  3. nah,it's ok. one of my outlets cracked when doin my conversion. might just put a new one in eventually. pretty low on the list of things to do to mine...
  4. other option would be to just buy something already engine converted(not necesarily 4age). could get something regoed to use as daily as well. have seen one with 4agze for $8000 and 4age's for as little as $3500. worth lookin around. and if ya ripping all that a/c dash stuff out can i have the heater core if it's any good? mine leaks... :)
  5. 4age conversion is very easy,i did mine over easter last year. first motor wasn't so good but got another front cut for $400. i think japparts in lambton had a couple of fwd 4age corollas there. mine ended up costing me about $3000-4000 to convert. would love to turbo mine but funds aren't there at the moment. if ya need any help just send send me a message,am in newy too. this is my engine.
  6. I'd say double check for vac leaks,spray some aerostart around manifold and see if it's sucking air anywhere. If it's a cut and shut like mine it could be cracked around the welds. I also had to take the breather between rocker cover and manifold off cause when they modded the fwd manifold it is open and is a massive air leak,caused mine to idle really high. Luckily apart from the first motor i put in havin dodgy rings mines been ok. just had oil leaks. dizzy still leakin,can't get a seal locally. I've got a spare computer,map sensor and coil/ignitor if ya get really stuck. Shame i'm too far away to help.
  7. i'll have a look in my box of bits in the shed,i know there is a computer and may have a map sensor as well. i'm in the wrong state but if ya get really stuck could maybe post em up for test purposes(would need em back though). i'll let ya know what i have tomorrow. water level ok? my gti used to hunt when level was low causing coolant temp to have dramas.
  8. just one muffler after diff,no cat. might get a hotdog put in under car where front muffler usually goes and see how that goes. :hmm:
  9. what size exhaust and what mufflers has it got. not 100% happy with the sound of mine. mine sounds a bit tinny,not as throaty as i'd like. could be the standard exhaust manifold,have 2.5 inch primaries and 2.25 inch exhaust from there. maybe another small muffler or thermowrapping primaries might help. what ya reckon?
  10. got a tvis plate between manifold and head? if it does,prob bigport. looks like a bit of work to do.have fun.
  11. pulled my spare dizzy apart today,got inner seal comin tomorrow for a coupla bucks, 6200 bearing for coupla bucks. hopefully back together tomorrow and back in car and oil might stay in the engine. :P
  12. hey there,the distributor on my 4age is leakin a fair bit of oil now so it's time for a rebuild. have seen a write up about it using a rebuild kit from a place in canada called kbox.com. does anyone know anywhere in australia that i can get a similar kit. the kits only about $30,just wondering if anyone has sourced anything locally. thanks guys.
  13. my ultimate dream car is one of these motors with itb's in a black '72 corona mkII. just gotta win lotto and it'll be a happenin...
  14. hook them up to cooling system.I think one of mine goes to pipe out of back of w/pump,the other to a tee piece i have in other heater hose. hope pics make some sense.
  15. yep,looks like the two water pipes on t/body not hooked up. didn't have mine hooked up originally and it idled really high. the two pipes sticking out the bottom of t/body that are blanked of need to be hooked up to cooling system or you can take the fast idle unit off the bottom of the t/body and blank that off. hook up the pipes,works relly good on mine now.have fun...
