4afe AE111R - Engine Management

[4afeTyro]

Hi there! I've owned a 98 1.6 manual Corolla for three years now and its been very reliable with standard 10k maintenance. Over the next 3 more years I'm looking to increase speed/performance and the int/ext look from standard to mint. Some1 has recommended a 2 or 3 stage turbo and motec exhaust. Any1 know where in Akl I can do the turbo conversion? or does installing extrators do better job? I don't have clue about engine management just doing this one step at a time but in the right order. Thanks for your feedback guys - Go the Canes!

i would be worrying bout thinkgs like forged pistons first 4a-fe is not a preformer at the end of the day.

ar yes point taken Then again whats to say he hasnt just seen F&F 1 to many times and wants to mod his car? Turobs extream but yea if you got a big $$$ tree i guess.... If hes bein a dick thread will be locked anyway.

Hes serious. Some other -person- on this board told him that, he asked a valid question, and was told to get a stage 2 or 3 turbo, motec exhrst, etc etc.

Hes trying.. Give him a break dudes, you didn't know shit once.

well then the person hat told him all tha is an a wast of space on these threads. You have a few brand names etc mixed up there. Um your starting off with a 4a-fe im assuming as its 1.6 converting to a 4a-ge would be a good mod will set you back at least a few grand but 4a-fe is an economy motor not a preformer as i said in the previous post.

[gasman]

the 4afe can be an alright performer if you do things right

[sergei]

4A-GE would be better then allrite performer if you do the same right things to it

The cheapest way to do it would be to sell your 4AFE powered car, and buy a 4AGE powered car ... that way you start off with a car that has brakes and suspension to match the engine.

I'm not dissing the 4AFE, but my daily driver is a 4AFE and my play car is 4AGE, and the difference is night and day. Purely from a dollar point of view, don't even bother touching the 4AFE, as it was designed to pootle around town. You could spend the coin, and end up with a car that just doesn't drive as well, or perform as well as a stock 4AGE would.

If you *love* your car, and want to stick with it, then do a 4AGE or 4AGZE conversion. But do the brakes and handling to go with it Each of the 4AGE's has pro's and cons. The big port 16 is cheap, and goes pretty well. Small port 16 is more expensive, but goes really well. 20 valves I haven't driven, but I gather that in general they have more top end than the 16's, but that you really want to rev the tits off them to get anywhere in a hurry. Depends what you want to use your car for.

Above all though, enjoy your car, learn as much as you can, and don't pay too much attention to the flamers.

Thanks for feedback guys.

3 years ago economy was my initial reason for buying the Toyota and its done just that.
Obviously need to consider my options and look at $$$ tree if I want2 convert into a real performer.

Was at the SuperCar V8 race yesterday and saw an Alteeza displayed in the Toyota tent. Looked gd but then again thats my opinion, have not driven one and no nothing about the motor other than its a performer.
Anyway the Girls were hot thats for sure!

Enjoy your Toyota motoring peeps!
