There isn't much of a gap between the 8.0 and 8.9:1 compression ratios. You'd be better of with one of the later motors, either AE92 or AE101 as they have forged pistons and will cop more boost. The bigport head is better for higher power, but for a streetable setup the smallport head won't matter - you could still make 350+hp at the engine.

oh yea before i forget will a 4age timing belt fit a 4agze?

I'm pretty sure they do, but why wouldn't you buy a new 4A-GZE timing belt anyway?

auto1 said they can only get 4age ones in not gze

Well don't deal with them, because they're obviously shite. GZE's are far more popular than regular 4A-GE's because of their massive power potential due to the excellent standard bits. Try somewhere like SSS Automotive, or one of the many Jap importers you have there in Qld. Hell, if we can access one here in the NT with only one importer, I think you should be able to find one there if you bother to do a bit of research.

i only deal with these people for trade prices thats it.might head to toyota tomorrow and see what they say. :)

For a GZE??? They'll probably tell you there's no such thing. They were never brought to Australia by Toyota in any model. Toyota (to date) haven't sold a supercharged vehicle in Australia. It looks like the Aurion will be the first, followed by the Hilux.

adams right go to a place that deals with lots of imports anyone else will tell you your car/engine doesnt exist (wankz0rs)

Oh yeah, all A-series motors used in Australian models had a distributor, so if you're CAS has problems, you may need to switch to a distributor or look to after market suppliers.

meh theres plenty of people selling good CAS or wrecking working ones on twinspam.. you just gotta wait fir the right part to pop up...

I've heard a rumour that the 7M-GTE came with CAS and that it can be altered to fit the 4A-GE. But I very strongly doubt the source of this rumour.

wouldnt surprise me tho... good old toyotas parts interchangability

To a point, yes.

 

Man I want a nicely done up old-skool styled Corolla coupe/2-door. Thought you might all like to know that.

Find out a mob called ichiban, i know they sell half-cuts and engines alone cheaper than most places, but have not known what conditions their bits are..hope this helps.

 

At Tafe, tryin to drop by when i get a chance, catchas

ive found a 2 door EE80 like a ae80 but with 2 doors and a 2e-FE engine in it

 

thinking about buying it for a replacement when i build rolly a 1.8l engine and stick her on the track full time (yes I'm going to turn it into a circuit basher)

 

how cool would a 2 door be?

 

lighter too :laff:
