it would be more expensive to buy the rusted out corolla. the reason few go with 7ag is because the reason for swapping heads is the better flow and high rpm capibilties of the 4age head, but the 7a bottom end can't really take revving, so its basically wasted unless you build the 7a bottom. and cutting out the corolla rear? you are aware that its a 4 link solid axle right? not IRS.

according to tech reference on club4ag, it says "All else being done, the engine should have 1800cc and compression ratio of between 9.8 and 11 depending on which piston and 4A-GE head you used." oh, and to add, i've ridden in several 7age powered ae86's, using totally stock 7afe bottom, with a largeport 4age head, didnt seem like it had "7" compression. i would also guess that the headgasket would play a role in that. dont know the stock thickness of the 7afe, but 4age has a 1.2mm stock gasket, and you can go all the way down to a .5mm, giving .7 more compression, then shave the head and get even more.

actually. if i remember correctly, bluetop head mated to the 7afe yields ~10:1 compression ratio. but if you really want to build a good motor you might as well match the 4age head by using 4age pistons and get some higher compression

got the redtop and bluetop switched. bluetops are largeport, redtops are smallport

there's also the bluetop 16v. and, its better to refer to them as largeport and smallport 16v, blacktop or silvertop 20v. because the 4age found in later mr2's have a red valvecover yet are largeport head design.

Hi all, I own a 1985 AE86 GTS hatch, and am looking to sell or trade. would like to get a celica (5th or 6th gen) or an MK3 Supra, or whatever trades that might interest me. details about the car: 253,XXX miles, unknown brand header, custom intake and exhaust, TRD 8-way adjustables in back with 6kg TRD Japan springs, Paradise Racing coilover in front with AGX shocks and 8kg spring, T3 RCA's, Supra wheels, water temp and oil pressure gauges, dual electric fans. I was told by the previous owner that the motor is believed to have been rebuilt, runs extremely strong. Distributor cap, rotor, wires, and master cylinder have been replaced within last 100 miles, along with the shifter bushings. Bad things:70%done bodywork (primered), missing some interior. This would be a good car for anyone wanting a drift ready corolla, or even a daily driver if given some TLC. Will try to send pics to anyone interested. ooantirockeroo@hotmail.com
TO WHOEVER INTERESTED IN BUYING!: I DO NOT have a copy of the title for this car, you would need to get a bonded title, which is inexpensive(around $50) and fairly easy, i just do not have the time to get it taken care of. I do have documentation to show that the car is not stolen or anything of the sort. I can set you up with the right people to help with this issue if needed, or can try to get the title before the sale. But if you buy the car before I am able to do this;I AM NOT responsible for any problems you have with it.

you have to cut off the stock 7gc bracket and weld on the 6gc bracket, or at least thats what i remember my brother doing. those 7gc seats are great, very comfy and hold well

it would probably be better to use the "Redtop Hi-comp" head from the fwd AE92, as the manifold would already be in the correct position, etc. but the ECU from the AE92 hi-comp is set for running 10.3 compression, where as the AE86 ECU runs 9.4. so whichever is going to be closer to the compression you plan on running, use that. im not sure if the 4age ecu will plug right into the stock plug. but there will not be the great power increase you may be hoping for, the 4age head works best at 6k+ rpm's, which the stock 7a internals cannot handle. the only reason us ae86 owners put the 7age in our corollas is for the added torque of the 1.8L. Just some info, and the best site to go to for info on 7age is club4ag.com tech reference. when/if i trade my ae86 for a 6gc, i plan on utilizing either 7age or possibly the 20v 4age from the AE111, i know the 3s makes more power, but im a sucker for the 7.5k rpm screaming 4age

i already got someone lined up to shoot the paint for me. and for interior, idk, you might be on your own, it's really hard to find nice, clean peices around here. all that's missing though is the door panels. do you have any pictures of your celica you could send me? ooantirockeroo@hotmail.com

he's correct^. bluetop 16v 4a-ge, runs super strong. has never given me any trouble

hi all, i'm currently looking to possibly trade my AE86 for a Celica as a daily driver. My car is a 1985 toyota corolla gt-s (ae86), hatchback. here's some of the details: 253k miles, header, intake, exhaust, TRD 8-way adjustable rear shocks w/ TRD 6kg springs, KYB AGX 4-way shocks in front with Paradise Racing coilover conversion, Oil pressure and water temp gauges, supra wheels. now for some bad stuff: car is the middle of a paintjob, so it's multi-colored primer, missing some interior and radio, and im currently trying to get some title issues resolved. i don't have any pictures yet, as i don't own a digital camera, but i will try to get some for those interested. if you're in the area and have a celica, and would think about trading (as is or i could get the paint finished), let me know. thanks
