Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey

i recently got a older zook with some custom mods. needs a little tlc but not much. looking for some new seats external door handles, a soft top cover that falls on the angle across the back. and a few general peices so anyone parting their zook let me know. also i have a 4age big port motor and infor on how to put one of these is would be great too

For the 4age swap check out Dank's thread in members.

Basically you'll need new engine mounts, new gearbox mounts (depending on what gearbox you're using), shortened jackshaft, and about a billion other little things.

If you have a bit of a search (look for posts by a member named "Drew") you'll find enough info to keep you reading for weeks.

It's a good conversion and they're great engines (in the middle of a GZE atm and had a bigport in my old zook) but honestly, with the ease of adapting a G16xx these days I'd probably just go that route. Quicker, easier, cheaper, less farking around and has been done a brazillion times before. Sell the big port and put the money towards an mpfi IMO.

Here is everything you need and more already done for you. Swap over all this into your zook, it wouldn't get any easier than that.

is your 4age set up for rwd? if not there is some work to be done before you will be able to drop the motor in.

try to get one of the hydrolic gearboxes, most use the sprinter / celica boxes and they came in cable or hydrolic.

you also need a set of rwd extractors.

plus what dex said.

hey guys thanks for the feedback

all good info. one question what is the mpfi? i alreday have a 4age sittin in a mint corolla ae82 but its front wheel what kind of work needs to be done first thehanko? and ill be doing all of the conversion myself as im pretty handy, just finishing my 80series chasis, hilux body and 2jz conversion this year to start this next year for a basher!

MPFI = Multi Point Fuel Injection as found on later model 1.6 Vitara motors



You'll need to swap the following things to RWD format:

Exhaust manifold (or cut and shut the FWD one which is a pain in the arse)
Gearbox (T50 five speed or the 3spd auto is the go)
Starter
Intake manifold (I guess it could be run as is but the air cleaner would be facing the firewall which might be a bit odd)
Engine mounts



If you're running a manual it's a good idea to convert to a hydraulic clutch, from memory Drew used a Hiace assembly....Again though, search his posts and you'll find heaps of info.

cheers guys for all the info will look through drews posts and find out some more, as im not really doing anything with it untill next year as i got my hands full with my toyota project.
