By a workshop, i'd guess 5k?

And it doesnt really matter which ae86, as both use the same gearbox etc etc .. but the import one would be better (EFI fuel-tank and stronger diff are definite pluses for a GZE swap)

[hermit86]

is that including the engine mate?

[70XIN]

Yeah definitely ~$1500, then SURELY no more than 3500 to install.

If you did it yourself, you could probably install it for a tad over 1k (depending on how well you know your exhaust shop for intercooler piping/exhaust stuff etc)

As a guide, my ae92 map 4agze straight out of a front cut cost 1600 with the fwd gearbox etc. Front/halfcut is 2-2.5k.

If you already had a 4age converted car, it doesn't cost that much extra to do, just mainly cooler piping work. The main cost of it is getting it ready for a 4age engine as you would need fuel setup, exhaust and wiring. I'd budget 4-5k for a good job.

IMO, this case its probably better to get an adm converted/converted already as you can see the job done before hand, but most jap converted ones ive seen are quite rubbish.

well im faily good with a spanner,had ae86's before back in ireland and done plenty of conversions before on cars,just dont have the right facilaties to do it here so be handier to pay some one,just need to find the right car or even may get one with it done already.who would be a good crowd to get to do the conversion?

[ae86]

out of interest what is there that exactly needs to be converted if you have an ae92 cut there, with loom and ecu, and u got jdm 4age setup all ready in the car ? cooler piping, exhaust piping, what else?

flipping/spacing the intake pipe, fiddling around with the loom/lengthening etc, some people have troubles with the supercharger bracket or something fouling but thats no longer than 5minutes work, and finally making an alternator bracket. thats about it really

I think it should read ALL people :P I should finish my guide so people know what to do :)

[ae86]

yeah a guide like the 20v one would be great gze and gte would be most helpful nikko :)

Sam Q was talking about making an alternator bracket setup for the gze conversion last time this came up. I'd be interested to hear whether he got that done or not cos i'll be chasing one for mine soon.

Easiest and neatest bracket to use is off an AW11 4agze. You will need a regular 4age alternator though.
