quick question

[YAZE]

just wondering, i have a smallport FWD 4age that i want to put into a ke70. Can it be done? Or do I need to source a RWD one, i know the cooling system has issues that will need to be sorted, but aside from small bits and pieces, is it possible?

Cheers,
YAZE

no such thing s a RWD smallport engine.

pretty easy to covert to rwd tho.

youll need all the normal parts for a ke70 to 4age conversion.

and then all youll have to do is do something about the intake manifold, and the thermostat situation.

its pretty simple really, either buy a jdm rwd intake manifold (heaps of the sponsors have them in stock) and an adaptor (big port to small port, pretty sure kaizen has one in stock) for the neatest set up. or just take the manifold to a fabricator, and have them swap the throttle body end for end.

the water situation is much the same, you can either get all the jdm ae86 rwd water pump/neck/alternator bracket gear (expensive) or just hook the remote thermostat up in the same order as it is in the ae92sx, but position it beside the engine, to suit rwd with some random hoses from supercheap/wreckers.
