also how much does it cost for a ported head for a 4k these days? i know theres a place in philip

[KENut]

I think Vince may have wanted a KE70 hydro pedalbox at some point. Not sure if he still does or if he wants one for his new project.

Might be able to copy the AE71 hydro bit to earlier models anyway. Probably could mod a KE70 one to fit earlier models but not really worth it imo.

So the KE30 one will fit yours Tom yeah? I don't think you want to bother with a KE70 one, just thought that might suit Vince.

 

can't remember how much a port is, but I was talking to my engine guy about it. I should be swinging past there tomorrow so I'll try to remember to ask about it.

yeah I'm pretty sure a KE30 will fit no worries,i just gotta find one :jamie: but that would be great if you could find all the prices cheers :)

Ok the engine guy wasnt at his workshop today, so I'll have to go there some other day, hopefully this week.

Looking at selling my 4age and what rwd conversion parts I have. Sort of an EOI, not too worried if this stuff doesn’t sell, but really it’s just taking up space and I’ll probably never do anything with it. There may be parts and/or details I’ve missed, these bits have been sitting in my shed for the best part of a year.

If you are interested in anything please feel free to send me a pm. Canberrans (and close-ish) get first dibs, thats why I have posted here first. Not too keen on sending large stuff like this.

 

4age

3 rib bigport 40mm big ends

Comes with new gasket kit, head bolts and big end bearings (bearings are installed) all quality parts

RWD water pump, this is virtually new, absolutely no corrosion on the impeller

RWD water fittings, the one that bolts onto the head and the pipe from the pump to rear of engine

2 bigport heads, both seem pretty good, one I have dismantled. Both have 3 or 5 (can’t really remember) angle valve seats on the intake (not sure if this was a factory thing). One of the heads has had the combustion chambers cleaned up a little, to get rid of those nasty hot spot areas. The other is stock.

Basically, the engine is 50% assembled (thoroughly cleaned). If you want a really tight engine you may want to bore it/new pistons. But the pistons and ring lands are fine, I was going to build this, get it running then go full house essentially. So put head on, fit manifolds and accessories and you’d be off and racing.

 

AE71

Sunroof – genuine ae71 item. I lost 1 small rubber strip, should be an easy profile to match though

Pedal box – yes a manual hydro, needs sandblast & paint

Crossmember – 4a x member, needs sandblast & paint

Tailshaft - T50 to borgy diff

Steering Column – pos really, good for indicator stalk etc

Steering Rack – needs rack boots, untested

Front Suspension – just stock, complete struts with brakes lca swaybar etc. Shocks most likely fubared.

 

S 13 5 spoke Alloy Wheels – these ones actually look nice, unlike most S13 wheels. Very good condition, just need a clean. All centrecaps, 2 directional tyres, 2 very bald tyres.

 

VL Spoiler - has built in LEDs!

 

Also, I may swap some of these for parts of interest. PM me. Thanks

Hey everyone. As of today, I've started researching on how the funk this electronic dizzy of mine is supposed to be connected.

I've just decided that I'd rather take it to a auto electrician so I won't blame myself for stuffing it up. Any recommendations?...

Or has anyone done the swap?

Hey Everyone,

I am a definite newbie to the world of corolla's but am in the middle of a conversion from a 4-ac to a 4-age in a AE71 wagon using a 1987 fwd rolla before I try my hand at doing it all in a KE55 coupe I have been given.

 

2 questions to ask.

 

1. Is there someone that can "chip"a stock ecu in the canberra region and if so what would I be looking at for this pleasure?

 

2. The control bit that hooks into the ecu on the butterfly's under the TVIS of the intake? I think mine is broken and need to find a new one. Is there a corolla parts specialist around that I could go to. (I am not sure what to call the part all I know is it is under the intake manifold and works under vacuum to open the butterflies better at the higher rpm under instruction from the ecu.)

 

Should be on the road in the next two weeks and cost of conversion is expected to be just under $1000 including buying the engine. ( I know the engine will need a rebuild in the next 40K but that is fine as I hope to have the money for a full re-build and blueprint by next year.) Will post some pic's when I can get some. Sorry I don't have any before shots but only care about the results.

 

Cheers

Moses

Hey Moses, sounds like a cool wagon, I'm sure we'll all want to see some photos :)

Welcome, and it would be good to meet you on a cruise some time.

 

I'm not sure if you can 'chip' a stock 4age ecu as such... but have a search around for sure.

 

The TVIS control thing? Do you mean the cylinder sorta thing, cos I've got 2 of them.

[Moses_33]

Thanks KENut,

I am not sure. will try and get a pic in the next couple of days and post it. Will try and ghet to a cruise one day but family life keeps me busy and I do a lot of overtime. One day!!

 

Cheers

Moses

[chappo12]

so hang on your not gonna do the converssion then

[KENut]

Not at this stage. 4age would still be slow, still weighing up options. Unlikely I'll do any conversion, I think I'll just finish the 4K and suspension with this corolla.

 

PS everything still here, want it gone. Also, I have 2 complete gasket kits for Holden red 6, unopened brand new with receipt! Unlikely that anyone wants it on rollaclub but yeah

Will probably move my ad to the for sale section this week

I've been looking at this unit for a while, but just havn't got space to put it.

Mark (0429 880235) wants to sell his wifes previous shopper, whick is now archived.

its a solid '81 KE55. No plates, but V. good all round. The only thing needs fixing is the

radiator.

Back end is solid. front bumper not real good, but it has a real cute set of HEADERS.

rubber good. mark is asking (negotiable) $400.

I could wreck it for similar money.

Any interest call mark at above number.

If nobody wants it i'll buy it myself and park it on the roof.

mick

(car in rivett. been under a tree for a while, onboard vegetation free. NO BATTERY)

[JiP]

Wrong section bud. Plus we don't charge by the letter. You can make real sentences here.

[Tommo]

hello everyone still trying to hunt down manual gearbox,don't even mind if its a 4 speed cheers,been lookin everywere :bash:

[Moses_33]

Hey everyone,

Kinda stuck with my conversion at the moment. I think I have a stuffed dizzy as I can't get spark or pulse through the injector's. Everything else seems to operate ok at this stage. Does anyone have a spare dizzy for an early model 4-AGE (1987 model) that they would like to part with. I have tried Pharley's and he is trying to find one but is not sure if he has one yet.

 

Cheers

Moses
