Ae86 build 4age 20v questions

[z_brutalis]

hi im considering going from a 4ac to 4age 20v silvertop
ive read the guide on installing it and the parts off the 16v that need to be changed over like waterlines ect.

couple of quick questions

1. is there a method to install the engine that does not require me to demolish my firewall
2. do the engine mounts need to be modified if i use a gearbox spacer
3. do gearbox spacers exist lol i saw someone mention it once not sure could be dreaming.
4. is it possible to use an alternative ignition as to avoid cutting the firewall and if so examples.
5. with itb's installed what engine management do i need to run it
6. would it be a cheaper option to go carbs on it.
7. cost of the engine aside does anyone know how much it costs all up to install a 20v engine

and does anyone in melbourne know where the hell i can get someone to do an engine swap from 4ac to 4age i haven't found anyone.

i said that that's the engine i wanted in my 86 after seeing a couple of 20v's installed

are these serious questions?

if so, searching "rwd 20v" anywhere on the internet will give you some answers

1. Yes. You just need a dizzy relocation kit, or aftermarket ECU and coilpacks.
2. No
3. Yes, they are just a 1cm (or so) thick piece of alloy, with 2 holes drilled in them. Available on yahoo japan, easy to make or get made.
4. Yes. There are dizzy relocation kits, as well as ways to remove the dizzy altogether and run coils (aftermarket ecu)
5. Ummm
6. No?
7. Price depends wildly on whether you use an aftermarket ecu etc, what parts you change or refresh, whether you DIY or not. If you pay a workshop, anywhere from $4-7k.
