I think rather than stickying it, it should be added to the 4A FAQ...

I thought most guys just bolted on the RWD water pump etc (which has the thermostat built in) and were done!

have you ever tried to source and purchase one?
not only are they rare, but people want to charge $100's for them! All because of the "drift craze".
This option cost me all of $20 including all the hose clamps and parts from the wreckers, hence far more cost effective!

Hi Karl,
I don't believe it is that hard to get a water pump etc of a 4AC. I have been led to believe that these are the same unit as those found on RWD 4AGEs.
I'll soon be giving away some 4ACs so that should make it cheap.
Cheers

i recently purchased a rwd 4age genuine water pump from japan.
i found they are different to the 4ac by a marginal amount so that it binds on the cam wheel backing plate thing.
also the thermo housing makes u move the alt to the other side.
instead i used all the fwd gear including the ae92 remote housing
as i got a g/box with my engine, however i placed it a little different to the one shown so in the next few weeks ill let ppl know with pics how it went.
cheer,
jono.

indeed you are right.... i WAS going to use a 4ac water pump, but this was not able to match up with the top radiator outlet.... esp since the RWD 4age top outlet is very different to the FWD one.
Hence why i went this way.

Let us remember that not all the parts came from the wreckers

oh btw - i recently replaced most of the heater hose with off-the-roll 15mm heater hose, since i was sprouting a few leaks here and there. I would recommend this when you do your conversion

Shinny's tip - Any 202 (pre VK) Commodore heater hoses are great when doing this kind of thing - they're cheap to buy, and come with a right angle and a longish section of staight hose - all the LPG conversion places love them. Buy a couple from your parts store, only about $6 each. Much better than 20 year old heater hose!

Just a quick note, you dont actually need the RWD water outlet.
A FWD AE92 one fits too. I dont have pics atm, but will get some.
Its just a bit harder to maneuver in.

I couldn't fit the AE92 one in my KE35, even the AE82 one that I did get (which is identical I think to the RWD ones) has very little clearance.

The FWD one has maybe 1cm of clearance on an AE86. I assume similar for an AE71.
Ill take pics soon. Just trying to figure out how to get enough light in there because the flash just flares out on all the white.

No it's not the same. THe AE86 firewall moulds back away from the engine around that area, whereas the AE71 does not, hence my use of the AE82 FLAT rear outlet.
THe AE92 one would punch thru teh firewall

Takai,
Does your digicam have manual controls?
If so you can stop the flash flaring out on the white by increasing your apperture and go for the lowest ISO possible.

Is an AE82, fwd or rwd? I am gonna be swapping a 4ag into my rolla and the engine I got is FWD and there is this metal part sticking out of the front of the engine for the engine support. Is there a part I need to get off a rwd 4ag or can I just unbolt this part from the fwd 4ag? TIA for any help.

AE82 is FWD. And yes you can just unbolt the mount from the "front" of the engine (where the timing belt is)

Yes, its possible. but this thread is for RWD water outlet solutions, not engine mounts. If you had read the FAQ at the top of the page then you would know this.
Please keep it OT

Well i finally got around to taking that photo. This is the clearance on the back of the head:
As i think is pretty obvious it makes it harder to get in, but it still fits. I can fit a finger behind there quite easily, and i reckon its about 1cm ish. Obviously the flat type would have been easier.
Also i think i found a pretty neat place to put the remote thermostat housing:
in that photo i have reversed the thermostat end piece 180* and it is bolted to the block via a strap that i found. Its pretty close to the steering rack, but i dont think that it will be a huge issue, especially when it has the added support of all the water hoses.

alright.. just to revive this thing.. i have just started pulling the thermostat housing off the back of the block.. (silvertop 20v)
i was thinking of cutting myself up a flat plate with a 90 degree bend pipe coming out to rplace the thermostat housing. have the hose that comes off this pipe bend heading round the side of the block.
once the pipe is running alongside the block towards the radiator, have the original thermostat housing remote mounted on an alloy plate which then heads to the radiator.. i've looked around and found no-one that has taken this approach.
i reckon this'd be better than drilling the fine wall between the two water outputs and then putting a flat plate completely blocking these outlets. (this is the method used in the tech docs)
the only thing i'm worried about is the water inlet to the rear of the gazsorst manifold.... it'll get a bit warm if i've got the coolant running past the glowing manifold and then into the block...
there is what looks like a knock sensor (or a something sensor) FORWARD of the manifold.. the inlet and the sensor (?) thing have the same flange.. if they are both to do with the cooling...... i'll just interchange them???????

Bumpety bump bump bump
i think this is why people start new threads all the time.. people dont want to look into an old thread.. would anybody be pissed if i posted my idea (see above post) in a brand spanking new thread? as i already know how to convert the water outlets the way this thread outlines but am trying to work out a newer and hopefully better technique of doing so

20V is a completely different story to 16V as the water outlets on the head are ALL at the rear of the engine.. so a majority of this article/guide is redundant.
However the bits about the remote thermostat housing are of course applicable.
With no personal experience with 20V's in RWD i honestly have no idea if your idea will work.
