What are you wanting to see? I can take pictures and post them.

i found this car in NC in the engine sitting in the back. I bought it because the car was solid. It has 219613 miles on the odometer. The Engine swap was done by Toyota specialist. To mate to the transmission, a custom flywheel had to be made. Custom motor mounts were also made. An electric fuel pum...

That is a very wise statement. The 4age has a cool factor due to its ties with Toyota and the tuner scene, but the 22r has gobs of torque in comparison not to mention all of its WRC history in the celica. I also have talked with a friend who got his hands on the supercharger from a Previa van, it wo...

Thanks for the sound advice. I have a spare trans waiting to be called up from the minor leagues. I will change the fluid and check for the metal confetti. When having all the work done to get a 4ag mated to the trans I knew that the whole drivetrain would be unhappy with 100 horses at 7500 rpm. I a...

I just drove from Atlanta to Wake Forest NC yesterday (393 miles). it did great. I was running 75 the whole way and got 28 mpg at one stop and a bit over 30 on another. my tank is not original and doesn't like to fill so "full" is a moving number. BUT today I drove it to lunch and on my re...

finally got the electric fan to do its job and the engine computer is idling better now. It still likes to sit at just over 1k and slowly climb. The engine just doesn't like to warm up. If it is not over 70 outside it will stay at the Cold line after a 30 min drive of hwy and city streets. But i got...

the smog would not be difficult, just have whatever a GTS corolla would have in Cali and it would pass. as per the engine height, I have a full 1 inch drop. I am seriously looking to have a 4x4 fab buddy of mine make me some 2 inch lower mounts for the rear control arm, do a full 2 inch drop and cal...

One thing to remember. When you get the 4age in there and you close the hood for your first drive... the hood won't close. The front most part of the TVIS will be in the way. With a 1 inch subframe drop, you will need to do a "speed bump" as i did to my hood. look close at the white line b...

sorry for the lack of updates, I am starting to understand how a person's project car can take years to finish. My family is helping a lady with a few month old baby, that is not a 10 min task. So, my car sat for a month or two after I had an overheating issue. Turns out the air flow sensor got unpl...

here is a short clip from my phone of me pulling out of a gas station. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDAfOqU-nHE

The engine is using all stock 4AG-ZE components including ecu and harness. Only had all the 02 sensors on the car a few days and still have the idle issue which we think is due to a bad thermostat. we put a new one in, but these things can be bad right out of the box. I will upload a few videos to m...

Still trying to get all the kinks worked out with the exhaust. MR2 was the source of the engine. The TVIS intake is a little different from year to year even in the AE86 so some may work better than others but we found the rear wheel drive style caused intake hose to occupy the same spot as the radi...

the engine swap was multiple times more problem filled than John Lewis expected. I knew it would be a problem just cause of how many issues i have had with my particular wagon. So what would have taken him a week or two ended up taking about 2 months. If he did the same swap in another wagon it woul...

After buying a nearly rust free wagon with a busted trans and worn out motor and having years of engine issues, I now have a proper engine in Scooby. I drive my wagon everyday in Atlanta, stop and go traffic and at minimum I drive 50 miles a day. The 4th or 5th time having a 3AC repaired (the last o...
