gidday i want to wack a 4a-ge (20v) into Ke70 a corolla, anyone had any experience with this?

 

this is my list please correct me if I'm wrong

-ae71 hydralic cylinder/pedal box

-ae71 crossmember/gearbox mount

 

what engine mounts?

 

 

what gearboxs come on these things in rwd variaty?

 

any advice/help is appreciatted

 

cheers,

arh so ill assume you were hinting at something

 

so do you mean the 20valve has its dizzy towards the flywheel and the 16valve near the exshaust manifold?

Bingo

you seem to know what your talking about

 

so what halfcut/4a-ge model would you recommend for this?

 

and how much power do they put out?

 

anyother things i should consider/words of advise?

 

cheers,

I don't know everything (or even close to anything), but I will try to help out where I can

 

It might help if I knew what application you have in mind for your car after the conversion?

 

Drift, Track, Street, Strip??

drift and street

 

whats your opinion?

Nick... very tolerant, you haven't even used the "G" word yet..... :jason:

maby this might come in handy in the future.?

ive tried google, other forums and they all said try here

 

ive also searched this forum

 

which came up with nothing

go the mighty 20v!!

 

theres 2 ways u could do it...

get a halfcut and use the factory ecu etc. this means ull need to do some panel work around the firewall toclear the dizzy

 

option2

buy the engine and loom and use an aftermarke ecu

u can then use a crank angle sensor (like 4agze) therefore having plenty of room by the fire wall. id go this way. as it allows better tuning and more scope for later on, like a turbo!!! :blinks:

 

ae71 crossmember would be a good choice.

 

as for a gearbox and t50 box is easy enough. its the bellhousing thats hard..

how about going w55 and turbo.. mate of mine has a ke70 with turbo 20v. it excites me :jason:

ive found plenty on the ae86 conversion

 

so theyre the same?

 

what halfcut? 4age come in rwd?

 

cheers,

Is this where the "G" word comes in again?

 

Look here. and start reading!

oh no not again, i clicked on the http://www.billzilla.org link, and i have been hooked into reading the 4age page again :blinks: when i am supost to be doing an art project... but oh my those pages are so intresting to read !

 

:jason:

overdose, a little tip...

 

generally people on forums are very keen to help. for a lot of us thats a major part of it. i love helping fellow enthusiasts. iv found that if you do a bit of research and don't just ask every question you can think of youll get more help.

ie, show your doing the work and ull get more. some people get annoyed at people expecting to be told all the secrets (some learned at great pain and exspense)

just a little tip, please don't misunderstand this as a flame :jason:

 

id be happy to answer any specific questions u have. thats is providing i know the answer!

oh and for the half cut question.....

ae101 will get you an 20v silvertop

ae111 will give you a black top

 

as to which one u choose will depend on what u want...

if u intend to go turbo start with the silvertop.

 

the best combo would be silver top shortblock, blacktop head.

the silver top has stronger conrods.

 

if you wanna go n/a then black top would be the best. if you aim for more than or constant 85-9000rpm then ull need the silvertop rods

oh this stuff is intresting :blinks:

 

i can't wait till we start the conversion pages !

 

i reaaalllly want to read on about the 20V, but i have to go back to art Grrrrr - Cyas :jason: !

who has completed this engine conversion, and what was the approx total cost of the overall swap?

 

i'm interested...
