Any swap is possible with the right amount of money...Remember transmission bolt points are different. Engine mount points are different. Wiring will be a b.i.t.c.h. But if you want to do it, and wipe your a$$ with money, by all means go for it.

see whats queer is yer answer Ch...blah blah blah....If i was gonna put a motor in a old sentra or pulsar...i would put a sr20det or ca18det.....why would i put a ka in a pulsar when i could put somthing better like a TURBO....the reason i asked is cause i dont plan on buying another broken down old car and have two broken cars....i need one to drive during the swap....and ole sentras and pulsars are beat to **** in this area. so ima get a cavalier or honda or sunbird or a buick regal....lmfao...who cares what im getting...

anyway i just asked if it would fit....I see it would for the right price. so i guess the guy in scc mag that put a chevy small block in his 240z is queer also....sheesh....such narrow mind u have chblah blah blah.

yeah true but some guy's signature said something like

b16a- 110hp+ shift knob-50hp+steering wheel cover-10hpand my favorite. firestone all weather tires +200hp

***** car would woop you on the track. my civic will eat your v-8 for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

anyway that dude was gay and ignorant so i will let him do his thing. but man if you wanna go put a different engine in a car like be my guest but the wiring is my only other objection

get a corolla gt-s rwd 86-88 and drop that 2.4. Not much more power over the 4ag and worse fuel economy. Or you could just build a locost 7 and drive with class.

yeah corolla gt-s 1986-88 is the equivalent of the trueno/levin in japan. ae86 chassis though.

Same car. The levin is called the levin corolla in japan (if i remember correctly) and the trueno is the trueno sprinter. both are corollas. we americans just get the dumbed down versions of everything :D

i think the engine's the same. the name was dumbed down for us. most people i know who have built 86s use the 4AG engine. So I believe that we got it stateside. I should go research that

yeah, same engine. We get lucky sometimes with like the is300, the 350z, the rx7, the supra turbo and tt.

oh, but in japan, I think some ae86 came with the 4agze out of the factory in later years(supercharged).

sorry but you ARE queer for putting a domestic engine in a 240 or any japanese car for that matter, it most definatley drives like a friggin tank, and why would you do that? it just doesnt make any sense.

and you say there is no point in putting it in a pulsar or sentra because you could put a sr20 in here, well if you could put a ka in whatever car you are talking about you could put a sr20 in it too, so what would be the point of putting hte ka anywhere when you *could* put a sr20 or ca or whatever motor in whatever? really your arguements make littles sense and I think you are just trying to cover up your foolish question. :\

Im just so sick of kids that dont know waht I piston does rant and rave about thier upcoming sr20 conversion, or rb59 (joking) conversion.

chingon: ae86's were 1984 (sr5) to 1987

also, the 4agze came in the mr2's. the swap into the ae86 requires new transmission (mr2 has fwd transmission and the engine was jus switched)

its surprising cuz us club4ag folks have mad respect for s13's and know alot about ur cars.... too bad the respect isnt mutual.

What are you talking about, I have my outmost respect for the ae86. However, when I said that some corollas came equipped with a 4agze, I was talking about Japan. I know that in the US, it never came equipped with it and must be swapped. However you are mistaken if you think you need another transmission. It still is a 4age, you could drop an ae101 or ae111 into the gt-s chassis, and you wouldn't need another transmission. It's the same engine so it matches up to the transmission w/o problems. Oh, and the mr2 doesn't have a fwd transmission, it's a transaxle.

That's the thing, many ae86 owners who have switched to the supercharged engine, are not looking for the supercharger power itself, but for the forged internals and port design which makes the engine a turboable option.

First off, the ka out of a 240sx is rwd as you may know, second, sr20's came in fwd (bluebird). The ka did also( altima). He does not have a spare altima engine, he has a 240sx. I see fwd sr20de and bluebird powered sentras every day. I have never seen a rwd sentra, ka or sr or ca. Think deeper before you speak, and dont make fun of people or people will make fun of you.

hmmm... i dunno about jdm engines (i've never ever heard of a supercharged trueno/levin?) but i know that if u want a usdm 4agze, u cant just take the mr2 transmission and put it into ours.

but then again... wut do i know? im just another toyota guy afterall....

i was thinking about this swap, but thought it would be better to just build a 4ag on my budget =)

i dint mean nething by that respect comment... it was late and i was tired haha. sorry for all the trouble

for wut its worth, i would never get a turbo car... dont like lag. after im done with this corolla, im going domestic!!! v8 vroooooom!

no harm taken, what I mean about the transmission is that the stock corolla gt-s transmission will bolt to the mr2 engine, not the other way around. In other words, you can use an mr2, or a newer trueno engine (ae101,111) and bolt it into the stock transmission. It's kinda weird you've never heard of the sc hachi. A bunch of guys over at club4age.com have done it, and it's very common to use the sc before going turbo. Also, I think the sr5 is an ae85, hence the hachi(8) go(5) definition in japan.
