Radiator to suit 4AGE

[PULSE]

Hey guys, I'm currently putting a 4AGE into my TA22 Celica, and I'm starting to think about radiators. I was going to just use the stock TA22 one with some bodged up hoses to connect it all up, but I would prefer something with the outlets in the right positions for a cleaner look. I was just wondering what radiators have people put into their 4AGE powered cars, that have the outlets in the correct position so that hoses don't need to be modified. Basic dimensions would be much appreciated if anyone can be bothered measuring/has them on hand.

Also, I have another question but its not worth starting another thread. I would like to know what parts from a 4AC can be used on a 4AGE. Mainly wanting to know whether clutch + flywheel, and starter motor will swap over.

Cheers,
Matt

proving the radiaor support/bonnet isnt any lower al the sprinter gear should fit so...





as for the 4ac crap: engine mounts and possibly the cooling system parts, there was a thread on this recently.

So I take it the starter and clutch don't swap over then? I thought the block on the 4AC was the same as the 4AGE hence why I thought these bits might swap over. I've searched but I haven't had much luck finding the info I'm after.

I don't really want to go the hyundai rad as the main reason I want to change radiators is so that the outlets are in the correct position, so I can have clean unjoined hoses. Would anyone be able to give me a quick outside measurement of the sprinter radiator so I can see if it might fit.

Cheers, Matt

590mm side to side
480mm from bottom of bottom mount to radiator cap
65mm deep.

Got a hyandai rad in my AE86, works great and looks the part, RWD 4ac starter is fine, use thermostat housing and pipes from FWD 4ac, works and looks good. use 4age flywheel and clutch. thats what i did and its all fine!!
I'd recommend getting a new starter for the motor, the gear reduction type preferably, as the starter will get so much hotter next to the exhaust on a 4age than it ever did in a 4ac, starters hate heat, especially old ones. mine took one day to stop working after conversion.

Thanks for all the help guys.

Well I compared your measurements against the ones I've taken from my car and it seems that the 86 rad won't fit. Well it might just but it would take up space I need for other things and be a pain in the ass to mount.

I'll look into the hyundai rad more.

Can you still buy starters from toyota/auto parts stores? Roughly how much would I be looking at before I head down there.

Cheers, Matt
