Hey i have a ae102r with a 7afe engine no modification and lately it has been chewing through oil, so i am looking at what my options are to remedy this problem.

 

Has anyone had experience with this type of engine/car?

 

I would like to gain some power if possible but if its going to be a huge job ill just get the 7afe re-built.

 

I'm wondering what engine swaps are possible both legally and practical.(I live in NSW)

 

NOTE I'm trying to be realistic i drive this car daily!

Rings or valve stem seals are worn if there is blue/white smoke. Black smoke is unburnt fuel.

 

What year is your car as a blacktop 20v 4age might be an option ?

7afe low blow turbo, Toyota did a factory version called Corolla Sportivo.

had a massive 115kw. hold on.

Its a 96 model

The smoke isn't blue but the lack of oil in the car and the lack of a leak leads me to believe the oil is getting burnt

But i know its getting over fueled too.

 

 

What else is involved in doing a swap/mod?

Is it like mass wiring and engine bay mods?

Or are they pretty much a bolt in and hook a new computer up?

 

The turboing my motor is a option and it could be better cos i can fix the motor now and turbo it later.

 

also i heard you can bolt a 4agze head onto a 7afe block and make a 7agze motor.

 

I haven't had much experience with engine swap/mod so any advice would be appreciated.

7AGE, just putting it out there...

a 4agze head is the same as a 4age head (of the equivalent motor. bigport,smallport) the pistons is the only difference between them.

The only hard bit is getting/finding a suitable cam belt

Either a Peugeot or Porsche

A 20v blacktop is an option as they went up to 98 i think ?

 

You can pick up a rebuilt long motor from a Repco motor trader and just swap your manifolds and mounts etc over, Not sure of a price as i haven't done a 7afe but it would be cheaper than a engine conversion and its the stock engine for the car so no mod plates till you turbo it.

 

Realistic as a daily ? get a trade motor and stick that in and go from there.

well really a front cut would be your best option cos you get engine computer breaks basicly everything forward of the dash in one package deal-eo

 

or you can search arround u could probably get an engine lume and ecu for 800-1500 bucks if u looked hard enough

 

don't go out and buy a engine straight up if you wait someone will always have a nother engine they wanting to sell generally cheaper than the last
