    Hey Guys!
    First Post here at ae86dc...

    it feels like I'm now more of a ae86 than a ta22 now...now that ive put (or putting in) a 4a-ge bigport MAP into my 22.

    i have 1 question, that ive searched everywhere for! yet can't find still.

    there are a few cars that came with a 4a 'block' in RWD setup..
    in these cars...i need the bolts that mount to the engine (to buy them)

    for the first four mounts on either side (both passenger / driver) to the belts..ive chosen to mount with in my 22'
    so, i need to know from you guys:

    Drivers side Thread Size (mm) Head Size (mm) Thread Length (mm)
    1
    2
    3
    4

    Passenger side Thread Size (mm) Head Size (mm) Thread Length (mm)
    1
    2
    3
    4

    i need these values (and what kind of strength they need to be)
    can you guys please help me to get these...i know this is the place to look.

    regards
    Tim

    hey man hows it goin welcome to ae86dc

    i can't help you out with these numbers

    but what i can help you out with is,

    all 4a blocks are the same same weather they are FWD or RWD (this includes 4ac, 4afe and 4age, both 16V and 20V) (except late model 16V and 20V blocks have more ribs inside, but i don't belive they are any different on the outside)

    so basically what this means, is that you can go to your wreckers and find a car that has a 4a engine in it (fwd cars include, lots of corollas, rwd is limited to an ae71 and a sprinter) and you can just take the bolts out of these engines!!

    save buying them brand new, as bolts are free from my wreckers!

    dave, thankyou so much for that quick response.

    however, i knew all of that...but a FWD setup isnt going to have the bolds i need for the plates i made (coz these threads are all 10mm and 8mm)...and the fwd mounts are different to the rwd..(der!, lol)

    so...realistically..i'd need any RWD car which came with a 4a in it.....right?
    however, isnt it gonna change depending on what bolt holes the car in question used..
    perhaps they mounted 2 holes differently to me ?

    sorry about the shitty question

    i don't think the holes u circled are for the engine mounts and i think they only have 3 bolts that hold the mounts on

    on the drivers side (3 bolts)..
    the bottom right one might be a alternator bracket bolt.
    but i don't have the lower bracket either...which means that its gonna be used as an engine mount hole.

    can any of u guys help me here?

    heres something I prepared earlier:





    keep in mind none of the standard brackets are left in place except for the engine mounts. For the bolts anything with a standard tensile rating of 8.8 is fine.
