so what does it display? speed? what about tacho? and did someone say its got a shift light?

could someone please post up all the features of it? thanks im interested! :)

All the info is in the 1st post. It displays the speed, and time (when under 10km/h). Other features include alarm clock, speed attention & warning (adjustable), and brightness & volume adjustments. And no the shift light seen in the pics is not included.

There's a new group buy at the moment, so put your name down if your really interested :)

oh ok... then i guess im not really interested in it..

im more interested in the shift ligh. is it yours? if so would you be able to tell me a bit about it please? if you pm it would be better. i would just like to know about it. and whats it worth what it goes up to what car it car be fitted to etc.

thanks mate

im also interested.. but i would like to know all the features of it first

does it have a digital tacho or shift light or something similar?

could you please list all the features of what it can do.. that might also draw in more people :)

to "do up" your current motor for a turbo...

Argo Rods - $1400

Bearing set - $200

Forged pistons with rings, 20mm gudgeon - $800-1200

MHG - $160

Injectors - $200-600

Aftermarket ECU & loom - $1500

Dyno tune - $400-700

Turbo back exhaust $800-900

Intercooler and pipework $500

Turbo manifold $450

Turbo $250-1200

Turbo oil and waterlines $200

E series LSD box and shafts $600

HD custom clutch to suit $350

Walbro fuel pump $170

Machining of block $100ish

ARP head and main studs $300

Genuine full gasket kit $170

Waterpump $140

Oil, filter, fuel filter, coolant etc ~$150

Radiator service $80

Then you might aswell put a GE head on it to get the most out of the setup, so purchase either a 16V or 20V long motor from the jap importers for $400-800

If using the 20V add another bunch of $$$ for the fabrication of custom inlet plenum

That comes close enough to $10K using the lowest costs in the list.... but it would be a bulletproof setup and make more power than you could use on the street. If you need someone to assemble the motor etc then add a bunch more labour

an AE101 GZE frontcut with smallport 4age inlet manifold, custom turbo manifold, WRX TD04L, 7MGTE injectors controlled by emanage blue on the stock MAP sensored 4agze ECU will do ~170kw atw for a hell of a lot less money.

if i buy a 16v or 20v long motor from jap importers, wont i still need to work the internals?? or can the engine handle the turbo?

also does the 20v simply slip straight in... no mucking around and changing engine mounts n ****?

wat i was going to do with my car was.. keep the 7afe and do the cams.. full exhaust system from engine and then turbo..

and if my engine goes does the track.. then get a 20v.. because atm my engine is like brand new from the shop.. its running perfect.. i got my car of an old guy (bout 80yrs) and he bought it from toyota brand new and never changed gears over 2.5 rpm so its still good...

really...

wouldnt it be cheeper to do up my engine? 7AFE? also its bigger capacity.. allowing for bigger turbo and more boost?? am i right? or wrong?

...and dont forget the other items you'll require for a reliable turbo 20V on top of the bottom end rebuild... custom plenum, bigger sidefeed injectors, aftermarket ECU, stronger gearbox, stronger clutch, stronger driveshafts, etc etc etc etc.

Works out a hell of a lot cheaper to turbo an AE101 GZE cut and you end up with a nice LSD E series box.

just how much do you think i can get a half cut of a ae101 gze and where the hell would i find one???

dw bout labour costs i'll be doing all the work myself

hi guys, i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out, i've got a 7afe 1.8L in my ae102r and i was originaly thinking of swaping for a silvertop 20v. i would eventually be turbo'ing the engine and i was thinking if anyone ha advise on which engine would be better to do up, all internals and turbo and front mount etc.

would the 7afe be better and its a 1.8L (bigger capacity) and able to have a bigger turbo andhold more boost??

or is the silvertop better as it has 4 extra valves? yet it is a smaller capacity engine..

please do help!!! i need to spend my cash on my car's engine before my girlfriend knows i have that large amount!!

ahhahahahaha

thanks guys

Hi guys

im looking into getting HID's for my 97 ae102r, but also looking into getting projector lights or angel eyes, if i get the HID's now and then later get the projector lights, would the HID's fit it? or what do i do?

is anyone able to help please???

thanks

hi guys i was just wondering if any1 knows how far you can push the 1.8L (7AFE) ae102r past redline to get max speed outa 1st and 2nd???

or if not.. wheres the best place to change?

i suggest start with something like where new members can meet n greet. night photoshoot @ docklands?

yeh would be good..

best times for me is tuesday nights..maybe monday nights.. or weekends afta like 1.. 2 am as i have work.. :(

if i was to get a 4age 20 silvertop... what do i need to do apart from dropping the engine and box in?

Hi there guys.. i've got a ae101r with the 7afe engine.

Unless there has been an engine swap, you have an AE102r, not a 101r. There is a difference.

you also need to use a timing belt from a mid 90's porsche 994 1986 model or something like that

20V 7AGEs use the standard 4AGE 16V timing belt. 16V 7AGEs use the Porsche belt

whats the difference????? i always thought my car was a ae101r???? 1997 corolla seca rv?

also wat does the "r" stand for in ae101r and ae102r ...?

Just dump the 7afe and put the 4age 20v in. I'm quite sure it bolts straight in as long as you get an AE101 20v front cut or engine etc.

but isnt it easier and cheeper to just swap heads???

and also the 4age 20v is a 1.6L isnt it? me putting a 20v head on the 7afe would make it a 1.8L 20v right? giving me more power than a 4age 20v?

correct me if im wrong please as it would help me with my project.. im very confused lol

Hi there guys.. i've got a ae101r with the 7afe engine.

just wondering if the 20v engine cylinder head will fit onto my bottom end block???

or do i have to swap the whole engine?

how late?

i work friday nights til about 1am... lol.. we should wait til holidays come around so we can organise on weeknights so more people can come out!

yeh yeh thats so tru.. b'coz carlton isnt so bad.. its like 20min 30min max drive for me.. which is ok..

but when theres events like out west like dandi its like 45mins or more i dnt really know but its not worth it..

i've noticed alot of people on here have new new cars lol..

nawwwww :( gocarts are fun and all... but i prefer racing in my car :D lol
