after much searching everywhere, I cant find any solid information...
apparently 4agze starter motors are not compatible with rwd gearboxes...

so if im running a 4agze in a rwd setup with a w55, what sort of starter motor will I need? will the one fitted to my standard bluetop engine/flywheel work? or are the teeth going to be different...

cheers.

I am running a 4agze in a rwd setup with a w55 and I am using a starter motor from a n/a smallport, the solenoid/heat sheild comes close the exhaust headers. An ae86 starter motor is larger in size and has the solenoid underneath but is not as grunty as the small port starter motor.

this will be with a turbo though, so the distance between the starter and exhaust manifold wont really matter.
is the only difference really just the grunt of the starter, and the physical size of it? with the bolt holes and gears being the same?

I use one off a MS65? (I think) crown to a 20v and its quite a chunky big mother

not quite,

AW11 GZE may suit the NA versions, but the AE92 and AE101 GZE ones are definatly different mounting spacings between the holes.

sweet as, i got a couple of starters here. both 16v n/a ones, aslong as one of them fit the aw11 4agze then it'll be sweet. one of them may actually be a smallport one too so all good :lol:

cheers for the info.

what about 2A starters? do they fit on bigport's?

Just finished conversion of 4AG-20V into DX...

After starting I think i could hear gear whine, so finished exhaust and shure enough the starter stayed engaged...

After removing it and checking measurements I appears that the starter I have is to close to the flywheel or vice versa.

Engine: 4AG-20V silver
Gearbox: AE85 K50
Flywheel: unknown origin but it fits...
Starter: unknown origin, it was marked with 3A/4AG in twink...

Anyone had this issue?
