Sl1mShaky Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) So I'm looking to get an ae86 and it will be my first. I have been trying to do the usual research to see my options which seem to be pretty open which I'm excited about. However the car I'm looking to purchase is an 85 and has a carbed twin cam which looks to be a 4ag but I can't seem to find info on stock carbed 4ags only 4acs. Is this a conversion or was it a rare stock option? Edited October 5, 2013 by Sl1mShaky Quote

B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Twin carbs are aftermarket. Make sure they are tuned and working well as it can be an expensive exercise to get done. Edit: single down draft. Never seen that before. Edited October 5, 2013 by B.L.Z.BUB Quote
carbonboy Posted October 5, 2013 Report Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) The 4A-GE engine is fuel injected, there was never a carburetor-version of the GE (the E in the engine code standing for Electronic Fuel Injection). If the Twin-Cam engine is fitted with a carb, that has been converted by an owner somewhere along the line. Have a quick read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AE86 Edited October 5, 2013 by carbonboy Quote
ae824ate Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Very strange to see a single down draft, would be interesting to see how she runs. Quote
Sl1mShaky Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Posted October 6, 2013 Well alrighty then this car is going to be more interesting than I expected. Can't wait to see this thing. If I can get it I'll put up a video for everyone and I'll have to start a new build thread for it! Anyone know where I can get a good set of used side drafts!? Or maybe keep it interesting and run twin down drafts?? Anyone know where to get manifolds from? Quote
Sl1mShaky Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Posted October 6, 2013 Also it's an sr5 which means it came with a 4ac...? I think. So it may be a twin cam head on an AC block? Ill just have to see when I get it I guess lol Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted October 6, 2013 Report Posted October 6, 2013 Could be a mongrel but the ad is light on details. Quote
Sl1mShaky Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Posted October 6, 2013 The funny thing is the current owner thinks it's stock still... I asked him about engine mods and what not and he said it's got nothing which is obviously wrong so this thing is either gonna be Christmas morning or a bag of coal but we will see Quote
