20V 4Age Into Ae71....what To Keep From Donor Car ?

[cam_459]

Hey guys i picked my self up a ae71 rolla for $900 bucks a while ago, i was in the process of fixing it up then came across a bloke at work wanting to get rid of a AE93 rolla with a 20v silvertop that he got from a half cut.

 

I plan on doing the conversion i just don't know when as i don't have the money at the moment for all the RWD conversion parts and labour for auto sparky to wire it up.. plus id already bought a new weber for the old 4AC before i scored this.

 

question is i have pulled the motor, ecu, harness, fuse boxes, intake piping etc....what else should i save from the ae93 ?? would the fuel pump setup work for the conversion ? or should i just do VL inline pump setup ?

 

i know there is alot of threads around on this topic and i have done alot of reading but still have a few questions, so any help is appreciated

 

regards

Just pull out and keep anything you think you could use or may need, and anything you could sell to make some money back

Keep the entire donor car until you've 100% finished the conversion into the AE71, that way you cannot forget any parts. I found that when I did my 4AGE swap I was constantly going back to the donor car to pull out some random part that I needed.

 

By the way what dampers does the AE93 have? If they are good ones I might be interested in buying them from you (only if they are the strut insert type, not the complete strut type)

AE9x inserts are a good short stroke option for ae86 struts. They are the same length as trd ae86 short strokes, tokico hts, and a few others.

 

Keep the car till your done and sell whats left.

 

At the very least keep the engine wiring, the loom that fires the starter and reverse lights, clutch and flywheel, maybe the box if its the 20vs original gearbox as they are a good fwd box that people will pay for.
