Teh 4AGE into KE70/AE71 Guide!

[chris davey]

Good read I have a ke70 as a daily and would like to do this in the future. I think I will start with an ae71 though +1

Heheh cheers man, still yet to add the VL fuel pump guide and looming guide, but it's coming (Need to buy some batteries for my camera). I will include pinouts for various 4ag ECUs and some wiring diagrams from a few different sites. Original site names will be noted.

Also, pm'd man.

Cheers,
Kev.

I must say thats some awesome innovation using a tree for an engne crane - i guess just work with what youve got. Another thing with taking motors out with t-50's on, when me and daniel (aeeightysix) put his motor in we did it with the box off, although it would be easier with it on he didn't wany us risking the new engine bay paint. Mind you it was pretty gay putting the box back on under the car but the engine bay was saved

hey kev.
im doing a smallport turbo into ke30 and i need to see what your water pump/ remote thermo setup looks like.If you had any pics that would be tops. i had a look a the whitzls one and fixed mine up very similiar to that but theres a few things that are not comfortable and i cant bolt it to anything. i think i need to re do it.

[phrostbyte]

Hey Cuzzo,
I actually did this conversion with a JDM bigport 4AGE, which means that the thermostat housing was just to the left of the waterpump, built onto the engine. I'll take a photo of the conversion I did on my cousin's AE86 tomorrow afternoon for you. We didn't actually bolt the remote thermostat housing to anything, aslong as the hoses are clamped tight enough, it stays in place by itself.

i believe there a fwd to rwd 4age guide on the old forum (by the witzl)

[Cuzzo]

yeah there is and i have done that to the T but just want some pics of diff setups. just so i can make 100% sure i wont get air locks.

[The Witzl]

Cuzzo.... get a pic of your setup and i'll help where i can.

I didnt have my remote thermo-housing bolted to ANYTHING... the rubber hoses is what kept it in place! And it was fine too.... i never had a coolant problem, even when she was turbo!

[rthy]

i used zip ties, but a metal bracket would have been better

for those who dont know:


To all that knew Kev (phrostbyte),

I am sad to say that during the night, Kev was in a fatal car accident. I don't know the details yet other than he had a crash while driving my Corolla and passed away.

As his room-mate and being one of my best friends I am struggling to even write this. I can't imagine how his family must be feeling. He was someone who showed the most potential out of anyone I knew and it's such a waste that's hes gone now. He will be sadly missed as both a fellow car modifier and as a good friend.

-->Sam.Q


however I am sure Kev would of wanted this thread to continue so if people still have questions then I am sure others wil be able to aswer instead.

Ken_T's isnt held on by anything but the hoses, its fine, holds damn well.

jap spec 4AGE into a KE70 with the slanted front lights.

Ill tie him down and take some pics if anyone needs them for reference, also, we didnt do the wiring, its the only thing we didnt do however, because we just sat there scratching our heads, this is where Matt_ae86 came in, he walked up to the car, and without any diagrams, chopped, cut, shut and manipulated the loom.

he had it running, first time, in under 40 minutes.

Hi, I would like to know what throttle cable to use for the AE71 - 4AGE conversion, Using a Small Port Manifold.
Got no cable in the shell to start with.

Cheers.

[Ken_T]

You can use a KE70 throttle cable but they're too long so you need to loop it round the brake master. The proper cable to use is the one from a 4A-GE AE86 but you won't find one easily.

You can use a cable from a paseo or a ep91 starlet too. Right length and bolt in.
