Should easily get off the shelf. Search for ae86 extractors/headers. Kaizen garage on here were selling TRD copies on here I think.
Cheers dude!
Little update,
Got a Tacho Cluster for her today. Should be sorting out the clutch tonight. At the moment just dressing up the motor before it goes in.
Cheers.
130psi is rebuild territory. Minimum should be 142psi across all 4 and max factory around 180psi. Most second hand bigport 4ages i've had have been at least 160-170.
Which importer you get it from? (pm if you like)

yeah 130 isnt what you want if your looking for some longevity in the car.
Unless it's had gze pistons put in..? I'd be doing a leak down test and confirming before I started stressing.
Thoughts?
Oh and very neat car btw :p
Were they wet or dry tests?
The wrecker said the engine has been sitting for a while. So we will get it in there, run it up and test it again. Will be all good I'm sure. I'm happy with what I got, just keen to get it in there. If anything pops up, will cross that bridge when I come to it.
Sorted out more parts for it this weekend.
- eBay 52mm Radiator
- AJPS organic HD clutch
- Stainless Extractors
- Lukey 2.25 stainless muffler
- Single wire O2 Sensor
Now its just the wait for them all to turn up & getting it all together and in there. Hopefully the xmas freight it kind.. Haha.
Cheers.

These were dry (wet go higher, say 170-190). The place you got your motor from will usually put some wd40 in the bores before compression testing .
Just make sure you get the motor in fairly quick if you want to do it that way. It was very hard for me to get a replacement engine from them after finding out it was a dud from the first turn of the key after a 6week conversion
Hope it all goes ok!

It's all good mate,
Hopefully the conversion will be done by Jan. It's a catch 22 really. I could of tried to get one privately, it will still would've been a lottery with anything second hand. This way I got to find out a little more prior to purchasing the engine package. Will see how it goes, if it flops. I'll be building a turbo 4AGE quicker than expected.. Haha.
Cheers for your help/info!
I got a smallport from the wreckers, did a rebuild without questioning it.
All up cost me $700 with help from a good mate of mine.
