hey everyone i have scrapped the ca18 idea for legal reasons and i have sourced a 4age from an aw11 mr2 , i need to know if i can use a remote thermostat housing like people do on front wheel drive motors to convert it to rear wheel drive ? also if anyone has anything else to add about changing from mid mount to FR your help would be much appreciated. cheers :2thumbs:
same as fwd motor except for rear water outlet

i know that you can use fwd rear water outlet on rwd aplications, i dont know if this is diffrent from aw11
cool man i already knew that , but i'm pretty sure there's 2 types and one is no good with a remote themostat housing setup.
i was told to use an ae82 flat type one , i guess i'll find out which one it has when i go check out the motor
i have another option : a jdm 4age with everything except the loom and ecu , can i use a front wheel drive loom on the jdm motor ?
You will need to change or modify the rear outlet on the head, the MR2 one sticks out straight and hits the firewall, but either a FWD or RWD one will work fine.
And yes, you can use a FWD loom with any motor, so long as it is a bigport 4age.
a FWD loom it too short and needs to be lengthened, or is can be mounted in the engien bay but i would really not recomend this due to the heat and the shit that flys around in there (water, oil, fuel etc...)
cheers for the help . :2thumbs:
Hey mate i use a aw mr2 motor, pretty sure its just the same. Just got a remote therrmistat, and i dont think loom is any different. One thing tho is the timing is set up alot different on the aw motors to standard bigport
loom itself is fine only certain parts ie sensors need lengthing
and yes the timing is slightly different
