what to do?

[Hoppy89]

bought an ae82 fxgt with a blue top 4age what is the first thing i shuld do it motor wise?????

[Alex B]

err change the oil and filters??

[Lloyd]

Before that you should be swapping it for a 4AGTE however

[Hoppy89]

done that but like performance wise i mean????

[Lloyd]

How much money have you got and what sort of things are you wanting to do?

Bit of a difference between doing extracters and and exhaust than going all out and turboing it or doing an engine transplant or something

[Hoppy89]

well i want to keep the 4age yeh stuff like extracors reasonably easy things to do

[Ae92typeX]

for just small cash there isnt a lot really. standard exhaust manifold is pretty decent really. could change the exhaust, but dont expect wonders. feed more cold air to filter, or if you fit a pod, build a proper cold air box.
if you have not already, re-new all the service parts like plugs/rotor/cap etc

turn it on then drive it.


yeah, theres not a lot to do with out spending $$$
fit a k&n panel (not pod) good oil and filters, check plugs, leads and cap.
run it on 98 enjoy. great cars

Run a bluetop on 98??

It's not exactly a high compression performance engine, I doubt you'd get anything out of 98 over 95.

You should do a search before starting the 150 billionth thread asking what to do to a 4AGE

dont know about the difference between 98 and 95, but when i got the white AW im pretty sure it had 91 in the tank and it ran like a dog... filled it up with 98 and the difference was huuuuge

yea exaust 2.5" with mandrel bends (pm me if ya want a quote) pannel filter re do the cold air intake they make there power above 4500 so dont be afraid to thrash it haha engines are cheep there good little cars we have one as a drag car with a 4agte hehe

Yea my smallport 4age loves me when i put 98 in her

[XS1V]

As everyone has said it depends what your looking to spend. I have dropped a 20v into mine and am doing one in an aw11 at the moment, good upgrade for the ae82

[Mr Revhead]

a blue top will run on 95. but will run even better on 98
may even be able up the timing a degree or 2

Pics or it didnt happen

Hmm i wouldn't say that for a blue top 4age. I got a noticeable difference running on 98 from 95 or 96 for that matter.

Get a 3 angle valve job and have the head sit on the plan for a hour and a 1/4(my ae82 went surpisingly well with just this done), and all the usuall stuff, cold air intake, exhuast(not sure about 2.5" mandrel on a street 4age), lighten flywheel(maybe a better clutch), maybe even have it port matched and some DECENT tyres on the front.
