I have a 89 FXGT AE92 corolla. Just wondering what sort of 4AGE i have. (blue top...) As i have been hearing conrtadicting statements. To my knowledge it is a bluetop. It has TVIS? Please dont say look at the rocker cover as it has been painted.

Thanks.

Sorry to sound noob.

it would have to be a tvis redtop in a ae92

Thats what the code says on the fire wall that it is an AE92. I wasn't aware of the redtop having TVIS?

yup early redtops had tvis then they went to the smallport non tvis yours being a 89 i thaught it would have had a smallport as if i remember correctly that was the changeover year

No, May 89 was changeover to smallport.

It will be bigport Redtop, and all bigport's have Tvis so it will have that too.

It will have a red dist cap with the leads coming out in a V shape.

No, May 91 was changeover to smallport.

It will be bigport Redtop, and all bigport's have Tvis so it will have that too.

Really? I have 2X 1990 Ae92 FXGT Corollas with 4AGE Smallports factory installed?

by **jakesae101** » Tue Dec 22, 2009 6:26 pm

i allways thaught it was because thats when the truenos and levins did because 89 was the facelift with the map 4agze and smallport

change over from the bigport tvis redtop to redtop smallport was mid 1989 afaik. I used to have a 1990 corolla GT sedan with a smallport from the factory and have seen 1989 smallport fxgt's aswel

. id much rather the smallport over a redtop tvis anyday!

s'not true, smallports are sans TVIS

to the OP, the easiest way to tell is to check out the inlet manifold. if it has a badge saying TVIS, you have a bigport redtop. if it doesnt, then rejoice! you have the greatest 16v 4age ever made. (smallport)

Yeah its TVIS. It has a red dis cap, so def a big port red top?.Why do you say smallports are better?

higer comp, more power and generally just better.
Bigports have ports that are way too big for a NA 1600.

BUT perfect for turbo application

perfect is debatable

smallport ftw at all times imo

besides, the OP doesnt have a dirty big turbo hanging off the side of his engine does he

smallport wins

20v's have even smaller inlet ports and make even more power n/a or turbo.

by **metal_sean_head** » Thu Dec 24, 2009 11:45 am

Nah no turbo in the near future. Got uni next year. No funds. =(. prob prefer NA anyway
