    Default 20v conversion in ae86

    i am thinking about doing a 4age 20v conversion in my ae86 instead of a 4age 16v.

    i want to know what is invovled in doing a 20v conversion into a ae86

    i have searched the forums and i have found that you have to make up the cooling system and hit the firewall for the dizzy to fit. i dont want to hit the firewal, i have seen members cars running coilpacks what do i need to run coilpacks ie: what kind of coils, do i need a ecu etc....
    also about the loom what needs to be done?

    so i just need some helpfull information regarding a 20v conversion for a ae86

    Half this forum is about doing what you want to do. Just sit back and read through all the other tech questions, and come back with your own queations in about a week.

    RWD water relocation kit
    RWD plenum
    ECU with an egnitor box + 4 coils usually suplied by the ecu company
    RWD extracters
    if you have an adm sprinter ya need a surge tank and fuel system low volume pump and a high volume pump
    somone to wire up the ecu and tune the car

    there is more but its a start

    i did a 20v conversion in my car, i wouldnt do another one its just a waste of money.
    go 16v small port, put cams and aftermarket ecu and it will go better than a standard 20v for the same money and alot less messing aroud.

    Cha ching.

    I totally agree, IMHO converting a FWD 16v to RWD setup is a pain. 20v to RWD is a whole nother level, and there is still greater aftermarket support for the 16v.

    I have yet to have another 16V even come close to mine and mines almost stock. I have had someone who had a 16v with cams on this forum also confirm I had more power everywhere. 20V's need an aftermarket ecu though or else its just a waste

    i thought it was fairly straight forward to convert the 20v to rwd. maybe just a little expensive but you could prob do it a whole lot cheaper than how i did mine. come to think of it i prob could have done it for half the cost if i had not been so picky.
