Rolla Newbie Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Hi guys, I am looking at one of these as a little camping wagon but I have no idea what it is worth? It has 408K on it, and is in average condition, except for the head gasket. Are there any other drames to look for. I cannot find much on the 4AFE but I guess it is the baby version of the 4AGE. Thanking you for any help. Paul Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 4AGE = Wide Angle head 4AFE = Narrow Angle head GE will rev better than the FE Pretty much the same motor so the head gasket won't be a great drama to do.. Quote
Rolla Newbie Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Posted April 28, 2007 Can you swap heads? I am new to the 4A f/g/e circle. Or is it simpler to drop in a 4AGE etc? Cheers, Paul Quote
Des Posted April 28, 2007 Report Posted April 28, 2007 Just drop a smallport 100kw 4age in it, It will be fun to drive and has alot more power & torque. 100kw 4age's can be picked up for just under $1000 in good nick. :) Quote

Kebin[RL] Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 If your going to convert then only stick with a gze for noticable gains! Quote
bullet79 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Posted July 20, 2007 yep.. GZE got kick ass too... go for turbo CA18/SR20 nissan for more excitement Quote
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 id forget the turbo nissan motor. for the hassle and $$$ its just not worth it. thats a $$$ conversion there.... 4agze would be a better idea, but i think youll find the 4afe fine Quote
towe001 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Can you swap heads? I am new to the 4A f/g/e circle. Or is it simpler to drop in a 4AGE etc? Cheers, Paul Yes you can but you'll more or less need the complete 4age motor to do it. Far easier just to swap motors etc. Head gaskets ARE different. The silhouette of the gaskets are similar but its the little things that make the difference. So is the head bolt torquing. Could always swap in the 7afe (1.8litre) block for something little different. Might be able to get away with using the 4afe ECU. But i've heard that the 4wd's g'box isn't as strong as the FWD g'box Quote
Kebin[RL] Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 But i've heard that the 4wd's g'box isn't as strong as the FWD g'box Same box as celica gt4 Quote
towe001 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Well well good ol' toyota interchangeability, just like the c52 - not only used in the corolla but found in the starlet too (some also have factory fitted LSD's) Quote
Mr Revhead[RL] Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Same box as celica gt4 no its not. the ae95 uses the E57. the GT4S use E15# series. theres quite a few differences. i think the main worry strenght wise is the transfer case. Quote
phife Posted July 31, 2007 Report Posted July 31, 2007 People say the box is weak but ive never actually seen or heard anyone confirm this as fact. Quote
towe001 Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 You could always see for yourself if its easy or not and get back to us with your findings :D :n: But seriously i'm only kidding Quote
