Teddy Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I thought i should post up the articles we will be following / going by when we do the transplant. General Transplanting of the 4A-GZE guide 4AGZE into a Sprinter / Ae71 some info i have gotten from various people... Karl W... " currently run T18 gbox, tailshaft and diff. The T18 box has the 20 pline output shaft opposed to the AE71 22 spline, but both being 2 piece shafts it should be ok to combine the two pices. You will also have to use a 4age flywheel + clutch as the GZE doesnt fir in the T50 bellhousing. My PERSONAL opinion is screw the whole T series idea and get an F series or G series from Crown or Hilux respectively. Then get a W58 + custom bellhousing + modified tailshaft and NEVER worry about snapage. You will need to install a pilot bearing. FWD motors don't have them. Cost ~ $2.00 Fuel pump - an intank or JE camira external will do the trick..... plenty of info on doing that. Wiring.... well there are only a few wires from the engine loom and ECU which connect to the body. # 12V permanent # Ignition [EFI MAIN] (relay required - the toyota "silver can style" in the relay box at the battery works well - even labelled too! # Circ open relay # Fuel pump wire # Earth, i think # Brake lamp thats about it i think" Mr Shin... "Here's an old photo of my KE70 4AG when I was halfway through doing it, hence the reason it's so messy! http://www.comcen.com.au/~sheehan/Grey%20Whitey%20 006.jpg On the RH tower you'll see a black can with hoses going to it - that's a fuel pot I spent all of about 30 minutes making from a piece of old tailshaft, with a pump on the bottom of it. It's fed with an old Mazda electric pump I had lying around. Cheap, nasty, but effective way to get fuel to your engine, and I even managed to get a RWC with it Oh, and if you run out of fuel with that setup, you're OUT - when I did this once, there wasn't so much as a single drop anywhere in the system " Chrizer (From Rollaclub) "I Have just completed this conversion Ive herd rumors that the supercharger on the Ae101 needs to have the bracket bent up a bit so that it clears the engine bay in the Ae71 - is this correct or not ? No, all that is need is to cut the bottom tag of the supercharger cradle to fit the engine mounts, the S/C will clear everything. 1 more thing - are there any real Delmer's / things that need to be custom / changed when it comes to doing this conversion? You need to convert the cooling system to rwd. I ran hoses from the back water outlets to the front. Follow WITZL's tech article in the FAQ section. Also the top mount intercooler will not clear the bonnet, so that needs to be modified or front mounted. The air intake needs to be spun 180 degrees. You will need to make a custom alternator bracket because it sits too low and hits the swaybar. Any other problems just pm me. " Jason and I have decided on a few more things. The intercooler will be placed at the front instead of the top of the motor (factory stock position for intercooler is on top of the motor) and we will be upgrading to the T series diff and tail shaft when we do the conversion, instead of using the Ae71 stuff then changing it later on down the track. :insane: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted November 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 (edited) Hmm I must have missed the transplant guide, thanks. Good read. ECU looks like fun to hook up, by the looks of it, pretty simple :insane: bring it on just a load off... the Ae101 does have MAP don't it???

demuire Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Car looks pretty clean, rust doesn't look too bad. If you're lucky you might even be able to get "repair panels" to fix that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 we didn't find all the rust when we viewed it at the owners house, since then i have found it all - but it really is nothing to complain about - its a good buy !! ! !! ! ! :insane: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
