Will a 4age from an 87 fx16 FF bolt up to an 85 FR sr5? I am concerned the intake will be facing the wrong direction? Just picked it up today with the swap in mind.

 

You need an AE86 intake and exhuast manifold . as well as an oil cooler .

 

thanks for the tip. The FX has an oil cooler. The car and parts are in excellent condition. Old man owned with under 100K miles. Will it bolt up the the SR5 bell housing?

 

you cant use the fan clutch with that waterpump so get an electric fan. the fwd 4ag has a mechanical trigger for the fan already so use that.

And yes, it will bolt up.

 

you will also need a GTS gas tank

 

true, thanks. I will probably go with a fuel cell. Spoke with Durdan PerFab and got some great tips. Anyone have experience with the ITB's on the 16v? I am trying to locate an FR 16v intake and exhaust (or might go with ITB & header sys)

Thanks

 

stock compression won't be enough for ITB's. the motor out of the FX16 is only 9.4to1. you won't see singnificant gains unless you throw some compression and cams at it too. 11to1 plus 272 cams plus ITB's= 160-180 hp.

 

Some of the FX16 motors are smallports . then you'd have 10.3:1 compression . Does the intake manifold say TVIS or does it have ribs on the top of it ?

Yea bills right , ITB's on a stock compressio/cammed motor is a little over kill . Get some Higher compression pistons , Megasquirt , ITB's , Header , Cams and rock out wit yer cock out .

 

i figure i will have a tough time finding the right intake, so why not go with itb, but the goal is not necessarily more hp, just get the beeachi running . I need to learn the car. The intake says tvis.

 

TVIS? Cool! I know earlier N/A Mk3s and I think a few other cars like MR-2 had it. Its a variable intake system (actually it probably stands for Toyota Variable Intake System) so that you can make maximum power over a broader range. I suppose its similar to VVT, but in a different way, because it is in the intake mannifold.
