Bourkey Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Chop chop. My 4EFTE conversion in my black SR was up and running in three days man!!!! Only kidding bud. Take as long as you want. As long as when you finally turn the key and it starts first time it will all be worth it. Oh yeah make sure you tighten the screw loads on the fuel pump thingy under the bonnet as I had lots of petrol come out of mine when i turned the key. I laughed afterwards.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 hey good news, as of september the car was running for 75miles and then spun a bearing lol oops, fixed that and then it started rattling so i came to the conclusion that the oil pump had failed. so whilst the engine was out my bro stacked his other corolla gti, so i stole that engine a ran it on the wrong ecu for 3 months and now where changing the ecu for the correct one but for this i had to change the dizzy and when i did that the main coil lead snapped so im now waiting a new one! lol oh well the other engines getting a rebuild and itb's etc etc so all worked out well in the endp.s with the 1st engine in it went like stink!!it was fun whilst it lasted but was prob my fault it broke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Awsome love the revvy 4AGE's lets see some pics/vids ;) ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestarlet Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 look well and probably goes well for being N/A!! you could aways keep an eye out for black top or silver top engines in the 4age range or the posibility to super charge it in the future!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
c2888 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Another 4age powered Starlet, I like it!They always seem to go a lot harder just before they let go ;)Good work, bring it back to life and show us some updated engine bay shots Quote Link to post Share on other sites
200sx-Starlet-Jay Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 so whats the reason behind the 4age? i have no idea what the spec is on them or what they are out of?! are they a straight swap? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Out of a Corolla gti16 theres a pic of one above 1600 16v about 120ish bhp I believe (that particular model)Extensive work needed for the engine to fit, change engine mounts etc and then theres modifiying the looms etcIm sure Morgey will be back in a few months to explain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozinobi Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Im sure Morgey will be back in a few months to explain Lets hope so Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 lol yeah sorry i tent to drift off, yeah like sparky said corolla gti, and my 1st engine, from the white one above, was the later spec 128-133bhp and 112-114lb/ft not sure I've herd different thingsthe one i have now is the earlier spec 122bhp and a smaller but higher powerband and less torque yeah theirs alot of work and i couldnt have done it on my own, custom mounts, driveshafts a chassis rail has to be cut and I've got a ground up wiring loom, and because the 4age should have had a oil pressure guage my oil light is always on lol.tbh their isnt a lot of point of doing this swap becoz you get the 4efte with the same power and easier potential, but its N/A and luvs it to 7700 standard, and can be made to go over 10 000 rpm, but thats loooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaadssssss of £££ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 just spent a while reading this thred cant believe ive never seen this before, lovin how you have just dumped a bigport 4age in there. looking good what itb set up are you using on your other engine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 yeah its a bit old and i never update it, and the engine in the pics is actally a smallport but it spun a bearring and think the oil pump packed up,which is why i now have a bigport for a run around,and as the itb setup goes it will be stock 20v bodies with either a custom or a TTT (technotoytuning) adapter plate, with standalone (poss megasquirt but unsure atm) and some other bits and bobs like cams, head work, i know i deff will need uprated head and rod studs, and then maybe internals, but havnt desided yet.

morgey Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 rite just do do my usual once in a blue moon update,having been ragging the pants off a seemingly indestructible engine for the last couple of months, i have managed to break...my ecu, blew up a solder inside from putting sum quick fit plugs in the wrong sockets. luckily my dad fixed it in 30mins of him looking at it!! anda driveshaft... after showing off to sum dub geeks and getting a lecture off of my brother about having to rag the engine to make it move. well it went thru 1st alrite and then in to 2nd and BANG and a couple of clonks from the underside of the car later and a good ol walk back down the road later i found this...so im currently making a new set from the old corrola ones. and also rather than having a ratty old mildsteel water pipe rattling on my manifold i desided to get a nice stainless steel pipe custom made to fit around everything in the engine bay, makes it alot tidyer finish me thinks.old and newoldand newI've also desided to go a little bit crazy with my cam covers I've desided illuminous is the way forward,I've only half done of one at the mo.. the others going orange!!!and the origonals with 175,000miles and 20 years wear and tearoh n just incase you ever wondered how tight a fit these engines are in these bays this is my water pump pully and chassis rail, the gearbox is half that from the inner wing.so yeah ill be back in a few months maybe with a different colour set of wheels and some decent driveshafts, and maybe some Itb's on this engine lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 love this, your ditributer setup is and water pipe is pretty random, why are they like that,was the donor car an mr2?also i take it you did not need cut into the chassis leg to make the engine fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 The engine is more or less an AE86 design so they put the dizzy on the side as if it was on the back it would be against the bulk head,the same for the water pipe, mounted inline it would go straight onto a front mount radiator, the only thing they did was put a mount on the front (pulley side) and crammed a fwd gearbox on it and fitted it in sideways lol, the AE82 and AE92 both used this design. when they did the 20v head they redesigned the water ways for FWD see bigT-sr for his water pipe. and yes you do have to cut the chassis leg to make it fit, but only on the gearbox side, well unless you want powersteering etc, i have a half sized or single pulley on mine as it wouldnt fit otherwise lolAnd the donor 'CARS' were a bigport and smallport ae92 corolla gti-16 both kindly donated by my brother lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well sooo yeah no real progress on the starlet other than, some coilovers, braces, gt rear axel and some 11.1 pistons for the other engine. but in the mean time i brought a new car, stuck with the toyota but got a 2001 corolla instead, more space and an eco whore so all good.I put the starlet wheels on it after a refurb and borrowed some lowering springs from my bros old rolla gti, front still needs to go down but im saving for the starlet build sooo meh it'll be fineneway here it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Lets see the SR on coilovers then Rolla looks awsome on the Speedys to be fair, never ever seen that front end either Quote Link to post Share on other sites
