Re: Info on swapping a 20v into an '87 FX16 GT-S?

I'd suggest start with BT 20v if you wish to keep N/A power. if going turbo, both types have pros and cons. ST bottom end only requires gze pistons or forgies to handle reasonable boost. BT should should also swap in redtop or ST rods as they're stronger. have accomplished this many moons ago. ae101...

Re: LEEN J160 6 speed for rwd "A" powered cars.

Can you please post gear ratio information on T50 versus the rest of the adaptable 6 speed transmissions? Oh.... we still aren't sure... but the FR-S likely uses a version of the AZ6 :shock: The FR-S ratios: 3.626 - 2.188 - 1.541- 1.213 - 1.000 - 0.767 Note the FR-S gears 1st, and 3-6 are in fact t...

Re: LCA questions

access to a wheel alignment machine.. lucky for some!
could also be a bent strut. compare the distance from the rim to the strut and see how similar they are.

Re: LCA questions

it's pretty obvious there's chassis ripples in the 'drivers side inner fender' pic. the wrinkley panels at rear of wheel arch about where the firewall is. this is usually a strong area of the car so it must've had a hard hit from underneath is my guess? are there any bent chassis rails underneath or...

I have both engines in my shed. they both measure within 1mm of offset using a ruler from the oil pump housing in two diffe...

Re: 4age FWD to RWD

ga_goosh, so you've measured a difference in offset between rwd/fwd crank pulley or are you assuming because the water pump pulley is different? The belt still runs the same offset between rwd/fwd which is why you can use a rwd setup on a fwd engine without changing the crank pulley. the rwd pump pu...

Re: 4age FWD to RWD

A write up mentioned fwd pump is prone to fail over 5.5k rpm even with efan I believe. As you mentioned Rwd has more ribs, more reinforcement and balance maybe..bbq sauce. so someone is saying all ae82, aw11, ae92, ae101 and ae111 4age's will break the water pump above 5.5k rpm :lol: Sounds like th...

Re: 4age FWD to RWD

Regarding Oil pan/pickup. They looked the exact same other than oil cooler line fittings and filter plate which I swapped rwd fittings/plate(not that it matters)...and for other reasons kept fwd oil pan/pickup. Bad? Thats because they're the same between rwd/fwd bluetop. even the epc says so lol. h...

to describe in a different way, the difference of the 20v water system vs a fwd 16v - The 20v has thermostat on the back of the head and routes the cold water through a channel inside the intake side of the head, then down to the water pump, through the block and up through the rest of the head.

I have read a ton about swapping a 20v into these cars but I'm still confused a bit on what needs to be completed for the swap. I have a 1981 te72 corolla with a 3tc and 5 speed transmition. To my understanding the 5speed te72 come with t50 transmitions. Is this correct? And besides the water pump ...

if you're dead set on the live axle.. try the ae95 4wd wagon which has a T series drum rear with 4x100 to match the fx. im thinking easiest would be to do a rear floor pan transplant which would then retain the oem ae95 diff mounting points. then cut out and transplant a driveshaft tunnel from whate...
