haha yeah the car does lack air con, and apparantley has a few small electrical issues, but it's mostly good :( I'm still thinking about it though...I'm looking for jobs everywhere so i can actually afford to keep the thing on the road :S

hmm, good idea. ill have to have a play around with it :y:

plus, the 4AC is only SOHC, 4/6AFC are DOHC

ok, I'm not that good with identifying toyota engines, apart from the main ones [JZ, UZ etc.] but is that picture trev posted a 4AFC? so that means the engine is actually a 6AFC in the rolla I'm getting...thnaks guys ;) edit: just realised the picture posted is a single cam, :y: with the TWIN CAM engines, are 4AFC and 6AFC very similar except for the 200cc displacement difference?

infact, just looking at the 6A pic, when i saw the rolla the other night [i havent actually bought it yet, still in aunty's possesion] the pipe seemed quite a lot shorter. is the pipe on the 6A longer than the 4A, then?

that pic is not actually of the rolla's engine, just one i dug up somewhere else. i noticed after i posted it the 6A on the engine sticker :y: fairly similar despite the displacement difference, aren't they? alright, i'll remove it and see how i go for a bit. if it's not heating up in the mornings, ill replace it ;) thanks for the help so far.

yes, before the air filter. you wiould be able to pick it in this pic.

Some of you may know in the 4AFC engine there is a short bit of piping going from the top of the heat shield over the exhaust manifold, to the intake pipe. I have done a bit of research and found out what this pipe does. It's designed for the colder European climates, because the weather can be so cold, the engine would struggle to warm up. Getting that extra bit of heat from the exhaust and warming up the air going into the engine helps the engine to warm up. I've come to the conclusion that Melbourne doesn't get THAT cold, so when I get my AE92 in the next few weeks, I would like to remove this pipe, and plug up the hole left in the intake. Looking for advice from anyone else who has removed this pipe, were there any problems you incurred? Does the engine run differently on cold starts? Is it a fairly easy and straight forward process? Thanks in advance for your help. Luke.

haha yeah I'm a member of a few other forums, and I always make an effort to spell properly. now it's just habit, heck I even spell properly on MSN :lolcry: Thanks for the welcome mate :fuzz:

Hey guys. Name's Luke, I'm 15 and live in the South East [Mulgrave, for you who know]. I should be aquiring my aunt's AE92 (4AFC) in a few weeks, so I thought I'd join and get some know how on the thing :lolcry: look forward to seeing some of you around :fuzz: Luke
