i'm planning my AE71 - 4AGE project

 

what version of the 4AGE will i need? from what car?

 

i'm planning on buying a complete AE71 with 5 speed, and just dropping the new motor in.

 

any ideas?

all depends on your budget, future intentions & mechanical ability..

ok, ok, ok...

play nicely.

 

i've asked on toymods, and i've done the google seach, and its all confusing.

 

i'm building a drifter. nothing special, so are the 100KW RWD AGE's easily available? expensive? and whats the description of them? silvertops? from a AE*** ????

 

i seriously have no idea, just thought some1 on here would have a quick answer for me :D

ok...

 

so a 100Kw is a FWD engine, and needs to be converted to suit RWD...

now quicky for a noob like me, that means that:

 

manifold needs to be changed..

any thing else thats going to piss me off?

soo...

custom exhaust

 

engine mounts? doesnt the AGE bolt straight into the 4AC engine mounts?

You will also need to run an external thermostat, you will need to look at upgrading your fuel system, fuel pumps / surge tank etc. RWD intake manifold, Custom accelerator cable, engine mounts from the 4A-C can be used, also the sandwich plate between the 4A-C engine and gearbox, spigot bearing for crank, diff upgrade if you want to "drift" it.. and yes, for a N/A application, the 100KW 4AGE is good, being a 7 rib block its a very strong engine. I'm sure i've missed lots of things, its all dependant on your application, so this is very generalised..

silver top 20 Valve cheapish and awesome engines. and stronger than blacktops.

 

turbo later on down track = good!

Did you want that in 5 Rib?

 

theres no such thing, you can have a 3 rib or 7 rib block and thats all there is between all 4A variant short engines

ive got a RWD small and bigport manifold :D
