Ae86 Sprinter, Twincam Or Single Cam?

[aroome]

hey everyone just out of interest did the AE86 toyota sprinters come out with two types of motors eg twin cam 4age and or some form of single cam motor.

if the single cam what are the stats of the engine and pros and cons over the twin cam.

 

thanks dean...

Australia got a 4AC in the ae86 (single cam) Japanese version got the 4AGE (twin cam)

 

twin cam + efi = win

 

single cam + carby = fail

The Australian AE86 came with the 4AC single cam motor. The Japanese version had the 4AG twin cam. No Australian delivered model (ADM) AE86's had the 4AG.

 

You can make a 4AC go, but it's FAR easier to get a 4AG.

 

The pros of the 4AC are that they are common. The cons are that they make great boat anchors. Remember people to paint them blue, that way you wont scare the fish.

ok, and another maby obviouse question to some, is the 4ac into a ke20 corolla a common known conversion or is it a wiser move to stick to the k series engien's with the simplicity of the conversion,

 

. are the gearbox from the ae86 the t50?

. one more can you use the clutch master cylinder from the AE86 when converting a ke20 from cable the hydrolic

 

just i may be picking an 86 sprinter and wanting to know of the parts that may be good to put in my ke20 corolla

[Medicine_Man]

not really a common conversion, probably more popular to just put a 4age in it.

 

ae86 does have a T50 gearbox

 

you would have to modify the clutch master to suit your firewall and mount up to the clutch pedal, not sure how you would go there..

 

if you are picking up an ae86 why not just do that up instead?

i thought that this question might come up.

 

the sprinter has rust like no other car though is not quite beyond repair its not my firt choice of car if it was the jap version it might change my point of view. thought it might be handy for parts for my ke20 and a possable conversion swap with engine, and after having a love for ke20 since i was young i don't want to let this one go.

 

might stick with the 4age idea.

 

thanks for all your help.
