4AGZE Engine

[onewish]

Hi Everyone!

I'm gonna being doing an engine conversion for an AE86... An AE92 MAP sensored 4AGZE...

The engine is not in the car yet but what I wanted to know is, what are the recommended things that should be done or consider changing/fixing/checking before putting the engine into the car? Let's say seals? gaskets? etc...

It'll just be a standard supercharger engine setup.

I don't know the condition of the engine though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers! =)

you should:
- replace rear main seal
- check clutch condition, or fit new clucth
- replace timing belt and tensioner.
- check condition of water pump ie leaks or free play
- compression test while engine out of car, saves finding out its buggered after you have fitted it!

and a general check over for oil leaks and broken wiring plugs and the like

(i can cut and paste too, refer toymods)

if your going to be running a front mount intercooler, id consider changing your inlet manifold, (Mattyshop has done a tech article on it).

The idle on these things is hard to get right when you have a front mounted intercooler.

Not a neccesity, but can help to iron out the little annoyances

some to add to the list -

-machine flywheel
-definately replace clutch as the standard won't last long
-i recommend a surge tank or jap spec efi tank or cornering can be a pain
