    Default Conversion 4ac / AGE

    Can't seem to find anything in FAQ , google search.

    My question

    Is there anything at all on the 4AC engine (rwd) , that I will need to keep and use on a 4Age fwd to RWD engine conversion.
    Have mounts etc - is the water pipeing useable etc etc

    thanks

    i dont think 4ac water pipes will work on a 4age..only the half back of the pump or something similar along the lines...da da da

    you know you can use FWD water setup just fine, just needs a bit of thinking to make it look neat and tidy!

    only thing with the FWD water setup is the "no clutch fan" on the pulley so you need to run a thermo fan which is better anyways

    use what you got to keep shit simple i say, though JDM RWD water line are more easy to come by these days so look for that to buy off someone on this forum

    the standard RWD water pump pulley on the other hand don't come by so often for sale on its own..

    Looks Like I had better get the 4AC engine as well !!

    Will have to make up a list of all this ... "bits needed from donar engines for 16v fwd > rwd 4Age conversions." and post it up.

    Guys ... this is so helpful ... thanks

    Anything else? .. for the list

    cheers
