Couldnt find an answer so ..

 

Quick question as i need to hit wrecker this arvo.

 

Starter motor for 4Age RWD ( converted ae82) with T50.

 

Will a rwd 4AC starter motor fit this ^^ and work?? ( ... local guy has a 4AC AE71 in the yard)

 

**edit ... big port / small port ... same starter ??

 

thanks

i am of the understanding that the starter motor must suit the gearbox.

 

so a starter off an ae71 or an ae86 is good for a t50. but wont work in a FWD gbox, and visa versa?

 

edit: my understanding is wrong :(

Thanks, using T50 so will be OK

No, any 4AC starter will work in a bigport 4AGE, irrespective of whether it is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive sourced

I was told the same thing. Fairly sure my starter motor was listed under AE71/AE82/AE86.

well there you go, why did i spend months tracking down an ae71 one :(

Smallport (AE92/93) starters are different. They're more powerful than 4ac/bigport starters.

There 1.4kw instead of 0.6kw if I remember correctly.

The AE93 units will fit.

Good info ^^ thanks :thumbsup:

The AE92/93 4AGE starter mentioned above and detailed here is reasonably difficult to source.

 

A few sections cut from a thread I made on Toymods in 2008.

DO NOT RELY ON THE AFTERMARKET PART NUMBER BELOW WITHOUT CHECKING TO YOUR SATISFACTION BEFORE ORDERING. THAT PART NUMBER WAS CORRECT IN 2008 AND THERE WAS EVIDENCE IT HAD CHANGED AND SPECIFICATION ALSO CHANGED.

 

recently asked to identify the source of my reduction starter which C2888 quickly looked up on his EPC as 28100-15190 STARTER ASSY 4AGE..AE92 12V 0.8KW.

Once I posted pics there was scepticism as to whether it really was a reduction starter. So to clarify see below. The advantage of this starter is that is significantly lighter and much less bulky than a conventional starter. 2.855kg vs 4.335 kg. It is much easier to get in and out of the bellhousing, plus it makes a nice noise .

This is a direct comparison of the reduction starter (bottom) and a conventional 4age starter (top). Note the external thru bolts for the reduction starter.

 

 

 

This one compares the size and layout of the starter drives, again bottom is reduction.

 

 

 

 

This one shows the actual reduction gears which sit within a nylon? outer fixed gear. The three small reduction gears are fixed to the centre plate which is continuous with the starter output shaft.

 

 

 

Have had a couple of queries about this after it was referenced on another forum, so have reloaded the photo's.

 

Also note you can buy them remanufactured in Australia. OEX enduro part number RXS462. These are apparently available through Repco. I got mine at pickapart. I have yet to use it, but it certainly looks identical externally, just lacks the heat shield.

 

I also notice that the 20 valve starters look to have the same design albeit with an altered chassis section to bolt to the 20 valve. A 20 valve starter will not bolt to the 16 valve unless you swap the workings into the 16 valve chassis. By chassis, I mean the section that adapts the starter to a given bellhousing.

Good stuff Parrot

The fwd ae82 4age starter will also fit the t50, used one on my conversion, works fine :)
