I am guessing that this is an old conversion by now but that is why I have decided to ask the experts. I was just wondering if anyone could give me a simple straightforward list of what I will need. I have the engine, celica 5 speed, and front struts. What sort of diff would be advisable, fuel pump etc. thanks for any help

you'd be right in guessing that this is an old conversion....

 

Ok...firstly, get rid of the celica 5 speed, i think it will bolt up but will leak oil like a bastard, and i don't know of a way to fix it.

You should get hold of either an AE71 or AE86 box, as they are made for 4A series engines, not T series.

 

When you say you have an engine, do you mean just an engine? or do you have all the assisiated bits and pieces?

it makes it so much easier if the engine is in a car already, you can just swap it all over. what sort of 4AG is it by the way? because it can make a big difference in the work you need to do.

 

heres a basic list.

 

>engine mounts

>VL fuel pump or similar

>custom tailshaft

>computer and all sensors

>RWD inlet manifold (if its not a 20v)

>RWD exhaust manifold

>custom pedal box (to convert to hydraulic clutch)

>hydraulic clutch master/slave cylinder/lines/actuator

>Lift pump and surge tank or mods to the fuel tank.

>EFI fuel lines

 

A list of parts isnt really the best thing here, most of the work is modifying original parts, cutting grinding etc.

the standard diff should be fine for NA with a normal clutch. for turbo, you would want a hilux diff or similar, which is a few grand worth of engineering.

 

don't do it if its your only car, despite what you might think, it wont take a couple of weekends, it will take MONTHS, i started mine about 8 months ago, almost finished.

 

Any more question?

This topic will get locked unfortunately.

 

Why? Because its been covered before. Do some research dude!

I'm thinking i should write this topic up and have it pinned in the conversions thread, this is about the 5th time ive covered it.

That would be a great idea. Should just have a whole sub-seciton on tech/conversions with tutorials etc and stuff like this can be deleted without warning.

that sounds like a really good idea :D you could just add it into the FAQ

Teddys done one for the KE70/AE71. Its essentially the same deal for most corollas.

If youve any more querys ask SPECIFIC questions :D

It is a smallport 4AGE, it has a port and polished head, adjustable cam gears, just need to replace piston rings, it has full wiring harness and loom and standard ecu. Where is a good place to be sourcing out those sorta gearboxes. Also, I am sorry for bringing this up but I am new to forums and I was just trying to get a little help, sorry for making you repeat yourself. thanks anyway though much appreciated ;) :P
