g'day all,

I have recently just aquired a ke70 corolla, the stock 4k motor is siezed, although apart from that the car is in very good condition....

i have always wanted to put a 4age into it, except i want one which isn't fuel injected is this would just be to much of a hassle (wiring loom etc) and i have a fairly limited budget (3k). it been very hard to come accross one which isn't fuel injected and i have had no luck yet as such. I was hoping to do a diy job on pretty much the whole thing as my dad still has his hoist, rattle gun and many other tools.

 

BUT... my friend has recently come across a turbo from a charade which is not fuel injected, and we were wondering if would be a better option to rebuild the 4k, get a custom manifold made up, and slap the turbo on. could the 4k handle it?

 

The other option, as advised by my dads boss, would be just to get a 7k motor out of a hiace, as it slots straight in, and simply do a bit of headwork to it, lumpy cam, port polish etc.... :jamie:

 

If anyone could point in the right direction, as a 4age would be a dream come true, but if this is not the most economically viable option then what would be? any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, or if anyone knows of a place where i can buy a non fuel injected 4age this would also be of great help.

please, please help me guys....... :wink:

regards, Yani

oh god here it comes

The 7K would be the better "bolt in" option but you could always buy a 4age and convert it to twin carbs and get yourself a T50 (probably cheaper option), A series x-members, and AE71 diff (i have missed a few small things but these are the basics) All up you should have change from 3k and a happy running 4AG.

do the 7k if you don't want EFI, and your budget it $3k.

Another 1k for crossmembers, Pedal box, Gear box and little bits and ya pretty much set.

Batesy_TE70 did this to his last one.

3T with TA22 engine mounts, AE71 pedal box, TE72 T50 gearbox, custom gearbox crossmember.

get the cam reground and run a 32/36 down draught weber, and a 2 inch manifold back exhaust.

When setup correctly it will pull nicely,they have a lot more torque than a 4/5K.

sorry man,

my dad has found a whole engine for 1k....

don't need any engine at the moment thanks anyways though sorry to stuff you around. :lolcry:
