4a-c Sohc

The 4A-C also has the same bottom end as the GE.

so if you ginned around, you could change the heads over?

[love ke70]

but for the hassle it isnt worth it and you need all the pulleys off the front of the motor

and i believe the 4age run a stronger block and better internals don't they?

Apparently they are the same internals as the series 1 (blue & black top) 4AGE.

[Raven]

I'd go a 4AGZE as opposed to a 4AGE.

[Dave71]

don't listen to what most people say about the 4ac....

 

mostly they say stuff becuase there is an easily available alternative...

 

and they arent weak, 20psi and it still didnt explode

[love ke70]

series one being the weak 3 rib block opposed to the stronger 7 rib block yes?

They arent weak they just arent as strong as the 7 rib.

[Dan]

133% improvement in strength there, theoretically.

 

Go the GZE. Bloody sweet engines, dan says!

[Biggo]

4ac is nowhere near the class of a bigport GE. Beleive me ive own 3 of the shitters and they can't breathe for cheese cake!

 

Just 4agze it :ninja:

[love ke70]

fawahahahaha "can't breathe for cheesecake"

pure gold! haha

you cannot kill a K motor, even when theyre rooted they still go.

 

i CANNOT believe how much crap my old 4K went through and how bad it was running by the time i got rid of it, and the fact that it still moved the car!

 

 

so is the general concensus that a 4AC unreliable? or just unreliable in comparison to a K motor...?

[Mr Hardware]

Everything is unreliable in comparison to a K motor

[r3s]

i don't know how you could come to the conclusion that a 4a-c engine is unreliable , i've got 1 sitting at my mum and dads, have been paddock bashing it for 6 months and haven't had to change a thing on the engine in that time, the thing just keeps on going ( much like the 4k ke70 that was used before it ) .

a reco'd 4a-c has alright power for the fuel economy from my experience, you may disagree.

Well there is only one way to know for sure, test drive!

 

i'll just go to a car yard and try out an AE71 (to cheap ase to buy it) :thumbsup:
