Still looking at power upgrades for the 4AFE--

this is becasue of the 4WD gearbox cut out in the block issue with the AE95R- my car

 

I have been trying to find pictures of the 4AGZE block to see if it has the cut out in it-- no joy as yet

the wreckers I went to today didn't have a ZE engine there for me to compare.

 

If a 4AGZE has the cut out it might just be easier to get a front cut and do the whole changeover thing, ECU, etc-- any help on the ZE block having the cut out would be nice

 

 

failing that

 

I was thinking how hard would it be to graft a ZE topend to my 4AFE

 

so in reading up here there seems to be 2 types of ZE-

TPS and MAP

 

which type is more simple - the grunt will be great from either type compared to normal 4AFE performance

so I'm looking for the simplest to fit

 

I have a series 1 4AFE from a 1988 AE95R

 

The increase in torque will be most helpfull in getting the 4wd to move better

 

so any help will be great -- or would a 7AFE conversion be easier?

 

thanks heaps in advance

4AGZE has been done before with block mods, needs a few mm shaved off here and there. Rumour is the 20V block has the notch you're speaking of. A GZE head and factory manifolds / charger should work ok, pretty low compression though.

4wd 4agze has definatly been done. have a look at the 4wd corolla wagon on toymods( i think? mighta been ae86dc ) on airbags, 4agze and respray!

Speak to Kebin (his name is Kevin) on this site. He has a 4agze in an AE95

 

Beautiful car too and i beleive he did most of the work himself

4AFZE - the bottom end may not last too long on boost, its not desgned for it. It's a bit $$$ to do properly, but have you considered a 7AGE? They are torquier (is that a word?) than a 4AGE and use a 7AFE block, so might bolt up to the AE95 gearbox without mods.
