4-AGE engine swap on FR-S
 

just saw this pic on instagram. i dont have any other info.

Attachment 22677

At least it's a Toyota motor.

haha, even ripped out the inner fenders. nice.

Should have gone with a beams

There's no metal there, just plastic liners from the inside of the well.

i understand the whole unique aspect but at the end of the day its a boatload of wasted time only to go backward decades in technology.

My guess would be that it's just soft mounted for a shoot.

Sorry...not my guess, my hope.

I was hoping the same thing! A lil trolling seems afoot again.

That car would be so fun to drive with some ITB's!

Wondering when someone would do that, though a 3SG(T)E power would seem more appropriate given cars weight.

Beams 3SGE would be the most ideal.

Oh hey, a bigport 4A-GE - now how about some twin-barrel Mikuni PHH sidedrafts on it? ;)

my god, that 4age motor totally photobombed the guys awesome thumbs up facebook photo!

What the hell is the point to this? This thing is just a shell now, as soon as you rip the motor out of the car so goes the soul of it as well. Anyway with the amount of info from the first round of forced induction setups, isn't this kind of pointless the stock motor looks like it has balls all of it's own.

I agree, if a car has a perfectly fine working and powerful engine then leave it in there.

Now if the engine is... ruined or your car doesn't have an engine...by all means go nuts.

Don't worry, this guy is Pat Cyr from Canada, a pretty good drifter in DMCC, you may have seen him in proam circuit last years in the states with his turbo F20C powered green AE86 coupe

And this engine was one laying in his shop, he has too much AE86 around I think...

I'm sure there's a good reason for this particular swap...

Like to see the other way: an AE 86 with boxer FA 20 engine... Any one?

Naw. I sold my AE86 to get the FR-S and the one thing I miss is the 4AGE singing. Still got the AE82 so can still get my 4AGE melody.

No by putting the 4age in they actually put some real soul into it.


jk ;)

Ha! That's me! Man this pic got around. As much as I love the 4ag, this was just funny idea we had!

I actually measured it up to see if the FA20 would fit in an AE86, but the FA is just too wide. You would have to chop out the frame rails on the AE to make it fit. It would be a hell of a lot of work!

So.... wheres the 2j?

man if i got a nickle for every time someone said "2j" to me...

Dont worry buddy, just sarcasm :)

Maybe if you turned it sideways?

Thank goodness this is a joke! The 4A-GE bluetop is such a poor piece of 80's engineering. Not to mention it's probably heavier than an FA20.

Thanks, I was gonna say something about that.

Poor? In my own opinion, I think it was one of the best motors ever produced in the 80's.

Well, that's just like, your opinion, man.

I dunno, I guess it was OK for it's time. However I'm used to living with many of them after they've racked up 150k+ and they suck at that point. Oil leaks everywhere, vacuum leaks, noisy valvetrain, and rod/crank bearings that are ready to spin if you don't monitor oil consumption with a microscope. And they make **** for power unless you buy an unobtanium Hasselgren FA version.

True...you do bring up some very valid points.

i think it was a cool engine for 83 or whenever it came out. i have no idea why it would be put in an frs but i really liked it in my corolla and it was neat in my mr2 also.

Well alot of engines don't even make 150k+ so saying it's poorly engineered is an overstatement.
