Re: AE92 4AGZE in trouble

Hey Lauren, Thanks for the reply, Toyota won't let me have them without a VIN but hopefully I'll surmount that issue! I haven't actually had the top off the engine yet so am going to arrange for that but the guy who did have a look said that conrods might be damaged. What I do know is that it has lo...

AE92 4AGZE in trouble

Hey all, I have been very quiet for the past 2 years after getting my MR2 engine replaced with a transplanted AE92 4AGZE from Fensport.

Apparantly eninge is from a 1987 Trueno Sprinter a slightly different model to the LEvin (pop up headlights). No heating issues just som...

Re: Centre Caps

I've got the same for my allies, you can try CAR (or whatever it is now) possibly Halfords.

Otherwise you can try and contact the manufacturer directly and ask for some to 'show off their brand!'

Hope that helps.

A spark has been acquired and it now starts up adn runs for approx 10 seconds before cutting out.

Stuart started it up for me over the phone and it sounds good! :)

Re: [MK1] New Member with SC Conversion, now with added pics!

Have spoken to Stuart and he's not been well with man flu (had it myself as well, not nice!) but he's working on it again. He's had a look at Mart's post but the differences to what we have even as an AE92 are so great it is difficult to apply the info. Apparantly the colours are all different the c...

Re: [MK1] New Member with SC Conversion, now with added pics!

Hi all, Right this has not got any further for some time due to issues with getting a spark. I was wondering if anyone who has had this done via the Fensport kit be willing to talk\email with Stuart who's doing the wiring. He mostly appears to have got it all up and running, the engine turns over ho...

Re: [MK1] New Member with SC Conversion, now with added pics!

An excellent conversion to do I think! I believe a member here is getting some SC lids build that will fit the N/A catch assembly, worth thinking about, chargecooler sounds like fun too. I have a similar kind of issue with the paint spray but the last person who had a go found the correct Toyota Ice...

Re: [MK1] New Member with SC Conversion, now with added pics!

Oh god. The wiring just has been a nightmare for this one. Stuart's doing his best and pulling them through but apparantly I have a 4agz ECU and very few wiring diagrams match it. I'm not sure what the differnec eis between that and the 4agz'E' is, Stuart reckoned it might be a weird import somewher...
