5afe to 5age how hard?

[Capin-Neemo]

im looking at putting a 4age 20 vavle head onto my 5afe to make it a 5age ive heard it can be done and seen a few mods in the us of it done just wonder what i would need and how hard this will be anyone know anyone who has done this?

[xsspeed]

can i ask why? whats the car going to be used for?

[Capin-Neemo]

mostly just daily driver just though it would be something to do im a training mecanic and it would be go to have a play just want to reaserch first

[Bling]

i'm going to say, silly idea.

first of all a 5afe is a 1500cc, a 4age is 1600cc

Would make for an interesting build, but most likely just a waste of time and money.

just put in a 4age if anything, I've never heard anything about a 5age

also, I would not be doing the above on your daily, unless you like cruising around on the 30ft loser cruiser . would be better off having a project car and working on that. That way you can still get to work if something blows up

[Mr Revhead]

would be a fun thing to do to learn and play
but....
if you want to do that, do ti with a 7afe instead
that way when you get it going it will be a big improvment

7age = looks like a 4age but about 20mm taller.

5AGE shouldn't need a cert

[Capin-Neemo]

yea thats what i thought taking the engine out to do the cam belts and an auto to manual conversion so i though while i had it out and there is spare 20v 4age head lying round might do a swap and my little bro mentioned its possible just wanna see a few thjings before i go pulling my head off

[sergei]

GE head will NOT fit 5A block, due to difference in bore sizes and general dimensions. 5AGE is just a made up name by HKS(I think) and has nothing to do with 5AFE.

double post......

you could use a 16V AGE head as people have put them on 2A bottom ends which run a 76mm bore, the 5A runs a 78.8 bore

Yeh but its not worth it. why dont you buy a worn down 4age and build that up (that way you can muck around with engine internals)
