Hey Matty, yeah kinda, not enough time or initiative.
Steve_AE92:
Mate, make an offer on the 4A, i couldn't tell you how many k's are on it either. I bought it off Johnny, so I'll E-Mail him and ask him.
It seems to be in good nick, and no, as far as I'm aware, everything is there. Injectors, extractors the lot!

Hi, have you used the 4age at all since you bought it?
And it hasn't ever overheated or any major damage?
If not, how does $250 sound for the "AE92 100kw 4AGE + loom + extractors"?
Cheers

Yeah, a few reasons to sell it so cheap/fast. Mainly cause I had to make room in the shed for stuff... It had nothin to do with the fact that I was too lazy to gt off my arse and do the conversion or anything either !

Found this yesterday reading the TOYSPORT tech info....
Quote: | http://www.toysport.com/4ag_tech_notes.htm
Stay away from the 7AF to 7AG conversion since the crank is not forged and the flywheel bolts are too small, with no provision available to upgrade. The rods are potential failures also when subjected to real 4AG RPM operation. It is an exercise in creativity but a total sidestep for any real performance-oriented application. If you like the torque of the 7AF, use the complete engine.

steve... i was going to ask the exact same thing. The FE series motors were built with really lightweight components to improve response and maximise efficiency, and certainly wouldnt be designed for 4ag revving... which really is where the 4ag makes its power mark! i would rather just slap the whole 4ag in ( in know u cant in a newer car)... cos i dont know that there would be much of an advantage to using the 4ag head on a 7afe? From m knowledge the FE was designed to be nothing more than stock - hence no strong cranks, rods etc etc...
Correct me if im wrong... but from the points the Toysport page makes about the 7age conversion and the FE motors in general, they really can't be improved upon.

just limit yourself to not revving over 7g, i have read that they will be ok unless you start taking it over 7-7500rpm, even though you wont get the full potential out of the ge head, it would still be a nice boost over the FE head.
There is someone out there who makes stronger internals for the 7A, just dunno where !

One word.....WRONG!!! Have a couple of these conversions under way and a 7AFE race engine in bits right now. The FIA Homologation papers, and from actually building all these engine, the race engine is the first and getting all the attention now, the crank is in fact FORGED!! Also confirmed by Neal Bates Motorsport, which built Simon Evans Group A RV. The weakness link is in fact the rods, which is what happened to mine(going forged now), Caused by a 10,000 RPM missing of Gear change. Shot peening is always a good Idea, and were also done to this engine, and would be fine for street use. I standard form, @ 7000-7200rpm are the limit compared to a late model 16V 4AGE's 8,000 RPM in modded form. As for proof have been Thrashing this particular engine for the Past two years, to a 7800-7900 rpm redline constantly on both the track and on rallies, and it hadn't missed a beat, til this minor slip up. A few Guys did see the car in action at a wakefield practice day a few months back, and from the feedback I got, many didn't believe is was a 7AFE,until I lifted the bonnet.
Now, the flywheel bolts, the 7A has less of them, but they are the same size and diameter as a 4AGE, So at the RPM I run, they could to shear off the bolts, which has happened when my co-driver decide to go from redline in 3rd gear to 2nd and let the 'box do the braking, So something had to give, and I was happy it was the bolts and not the hard to get/find 6-spd I just put in. All this can simply be over come by having the flywheel dowelled, Which I have done, so there is a 'provision'.
I really think that Toysport hadn't done their homework when the wrote that articile.
Now back on to the 7AFE->7AGE topic, the first, I'm hoping, will be at the next Dyno Day. I should be along with the rally car with it's new engine. It is going to be is a balanced 7A bottom, 4AGE pistons, Mildly ported 16V head and and old microtech D5. It's a low budget test engine, which a good friend is going to run and give feed back on. The 2nd is a 7AFE-> 7A 20V which I trying to decide to what degree I want to take it too and what I'm going to fit it too, ie if I put it in the g/friends car, it will be pretty much the same as the 16V, if I find a car, I will be an all out monster, and possible a 2.0L not a 1.8, yet to decide.

reading this thread has once again fuelled my continuous amusement at what Toysport consider what you should and shouldnt do to the 4A series engines (and 3SGE's to some degree as well).....rock on Toysport!, keep me laughing!

Nicely said Johnny!
Yeah Ray Hall ran his 20V 7A w/ stock crankshaft at 300hp, no probs. When Steve Wright in the USA does 7agze's he just dowell's the flywheel to the same # bolts in the 4A flywheel, custom rods, then changes all the head/main studs to all the ARP products. It ends up a bit pricey but he reckons they're rock solid after all that.
