So its a smallport with TVIS???
RWD mani???
Car -ae71 pano
motor - 4ac soon to be 4age
use - not daily but street driven
problem - I bought a 4age but is missing a few things
occurs/started when - I bought the 4AGE
personal situation - want to swap the engines ASAP
Okay, So I bought a 4age engine package. Its a smallport (has TVIS and black cam covers) and an ADM t50 to go with it. The problem is it did not come with a few things that are needed to make it run, those things being:
-starter and mounting bracket
-alternator
-flywheel
-clutch/pressure plate
-also the belt that would go around the water pump etc.
so my question is:
"what can I use from the 4ac and t40 that I already have to complete the the 4age and what will I need to buy?"
also "where would I acquire the parts I dont have but need?"

If it has tvis, its not a smallport.
Not too much you can use from the 4ac, you could use the starter and sandwitch plate (between the engine and gearbox).
-alternator, find one on these forums, 7m also fit
-flywheel, find one on these forums, 200mm would be the easiest to suit a bigport and try and get flywheel bolts and the bolts that hold the clutch plate on with it
-clutch, buy a new clutch kit from a brake/clutch shop, probably a heavy duty clutch kit to suit an ae86 (adm). That way you get new pressure plate, clutch plate and throw out bearing to suit the gearbox.
-belt, 5PK825 or 5PK830 from repco

yeah RWD manifolds, on inlet manifold think it has tvis written on it, I'm a little confused atmdont have it in front of me
might just be a jdm bigport manifold ? pull it appart see if u got tvis plate between manifold and engine
What you have is a red-and-black top engine, or cam covers at least. Smallports are redtop as in both both cam covers have red writing.
They are a goofy bigport with 7 rib block and 42mm crank but 9.4:1 comp. ratio.
^^thanks that makes sense
Had another look at it this afternoon and definately bigport. I was just confused because when i bought it i was told it was a smallport out of a late model jdm ae86.
so knowing it is bigport now does that change the parts I need to get?
No. Maybe the belt length is different between smallport and bigport.
there might be a t3 big to smallport adapter to use a proper rwd manifold?
pictures will really help yo cauz
