Ae86r Engine

[Nicholas S12]

A friend has an AE86R Corolla with 4AGE 16V engine with blue letters on top which he says that blue letters are indicating 165ps! (can anybody clarify that?)

Anyway the car and the engine are almost 20 years old so he is thinking either to rebuild the engine or to replace it. One option is to go with 4AGE 20V of AE111 Levin.

Is this possible as the AE86 is a RWD? Can this be done without any modification in the engine bay or gearbox?

isnt that a normal spec 4age with 122 ish bhp?

No, as this is a limided edition model manufactured in Belgium. And it can not be only 122hp as it beats Hondas type R!! I think the only difference from standard 4AGE is the re-map ECU.

Export bluetop is 86 kW, JDM version is 96 kW.

And no Sprinter was ever made in Belgium, been around that country for sometime. ;)

Someone should tell the guy with the Honda he must release his handbrake before taking off. :D

Engine top is silver.

That's exactly what it means: blue lettering is bluetop, red lettering is redtop, etc... .

As for your engine conversion plans, point your browser at Bill Sherwood's and Phil Bradshaw's sites, you'll find a wealth of information there.

Cheers, Yves.
