Re: AE86 4age 20v - First Build Ever

Thanks for the information, I like the set up you have. Just came back from the mechanics today to do a check up on the work they did. I managed to ask them a ton of questions with two student interns there that were really helpful. Most of the issues with the car are small, everything is mechanical...

Re: AE86 4age 20v - First Build Ever

That looks pretty cool!!! The adaptor plate is welded? Also the piece that goes from the adaptor plate to the rest of the engine, is that stock? It seems modified or new. I do like it, I will consider going in that direction. Also, I like how your coolant piping is going in around the passenger side...

Re: AE86 4age 20v - First Build Ever

When dealing with someone else's work the easiest thing to do is start over from scratch. Take nothing for granted. Assume nothing. Anything which you have not verified for yourself is suspect. Even if the previous owner was skilled and knowledgeable, they are still human and capable of making mist...

Re: AE86 4age 20v - First Build Ever

Thanks for the replies! I found a wiring guide to the engine bay and the black connector is for the VVT. Here is the diagram that was easiest for me to read. http://qrgarage.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/wiring-diagram-4a-ge-20v-en.jpg props to http://qrgarage.ca/ for this, not sure where they got i...

Re: AE86 4age 20v - First Build Ever

Minor update: worked on it briefly this morning and got the coolant piping in. The metal pipes that were in were rather rusted on the surface so I derusted and painted them black, also painted all the clips orange though the install kinda scratched parts of the clips - no big deal. Engine compartmen...

Re: Favorite non-AE86?

AE86 4age 20v - First Build Ever

I just bought an AE86 with a 4age 20v already swapped in for $3000. Pretty sure I may have overpaid but since I have no idea what I am doing you all can be the judge of that. For over 14 years I've wanted an ae86 but lack of money and availability had prevented me. I should start out that I am compl...
