Re: 4afe swap lots of pics

I plan on doing a 4af swap, did you have any trouble with the hight of the engine to the hood? or when you welded the mounts did that take some hight off?

Re: 85' 5spd hatch project.

c0z, finished a 4a-fe swap a little bit ago, I wish he'd post up some pics soon, because that would answer alot of basic questions. The cutting of the firewall was sure to happen, but the engine sitting up higher was news to me... I should have known that seeing as the 4age needs hood mods to fit ...

Re: 85' 5spd hatch project.

deal, I've also just checked out on the "telling between A model engines" post that swapping the 16valve 4af engine is much more difficult than the typical 4a/a-c sohc model, but how so if its carbed?

Re: 85' 5spd hatch project.

So I've come up with a plan. I've found a 4a-f motor with 115,000miles for $220 and I've heard its basicly simple to swap into the tercel. I have to cut a hole for the distributor, use the flyweel out of my 3a motor that fits the bolt pattern of the 4a-f, and get a custom exhaust. I I'm guessing ...

Re: 5spd fwd transmission?

I've found a company that does custom wirework that will build a plug and play wire harness for 4AGE's to what ever your project including toyota plugs/adapters. they even do silvertop 20v swaps. It costs a bit at $550, but making the swap a hell of a lot easer, and not pumping $1200 into carbs ...

Re: 5spd fwd transmission?

Ok guys, here it goes, I'm an r'tard... I totally thought The earlier 4age came carb'd not efi. I really didn't want to mess with wiring, and a carb kit is around $1200; I'm seriously rethinking this plan. :( any thoughts of a 4AF, thats carbed right?

Re: 5spd fwd transmission?

I dont mind not having rwd, so get a newer transverse engine and swap the intake manifold/throttle body off a rwd 4age. I really didn't want to mess with Efi wiring, I might just try to find a carbed rwd 4age engine for the swap... :( As the Mr2 front brakes, is there any disc convertion for the ...

Re: 5spd fwd transmission?

you would be better off with the RWD version of the 4age in this model Tercel.
I would love to make my terc a rwd, I just dont know of parts that where swappable for this model.
I've removed the backseat for more storage room plus I'm about to throw in $200 of second skin sound dampening. I want ...

85' 5spd hatch project.

I've seen people swap the 4age into 4wd tec's, and I know the 85fwd from firewall forward is basically the same as the 4wd version, but what about the transmission? Will the 4age line up with a fwd transmission? :? This so far is my only hesitation to poring crazy amounts of money into my little ...

4age efi conversion to carb?

Does anyone have any info about converting a 4AGE efi to carb? I've read fom some other guys that the wiring/ gas tank is alot less intence when swaping into the tercel. I know synthdesign is doing an efi convertion and it looks like alot of extra work than the carbed version. :)
