Rwd Motor on AE92

[Akis308]

Hello guys...
I've looked over the forum but I didn't find anything....
So, the question(s) is....
What do I need in order to convert and swap a big port 4AGE from a late AE86 to a (forward) AE92???
I need everything....
Even the smallest bolt.
I want to have the engine ready and then put it in my car...
But first of all, I want to make sure that it's worth the conversion, I mean financially....
Otherwise a guy from Hpeiros-Greece is going to have a new motor....

Exhaust... everythig else is bolt on.

Inake will be on the wrong side but it wouldn't be a big problem. (if you can get a hold on AE82 Bluetop intake would be perfect, if you can't you can do with out it)

And you have to use AE86/AE82 pressure plate and clutch because AE92 RedTop wont fit on Bluetop flywheel. The gearbox will fit no problems..

And ECU from Bluetop, Redtop ECU wont work... and probably some minor sensors from Bluetop.

Ι'm planning to use its blue top ECU.
What about the cooling system???

Don't know about that much, IMHO it's no problem... use AE92 radiator, electric fan, thermo switch, thermostat, expansion canister... what I saw it's the same as AE82 Bluetop (only the radiator is biger).
And be carefull connecting pipeing, to connect them right.

Take of visco fan that AE86 has from the engine, it will be useless.


IMO use AE92 cooling system, it's much better than AE86, and it's the same as AE82 Bluetop so it will work without a doubt.

It's easier to fit 212mm (redtop) flywheel instead change the clutch.
FWD engines have no pilot bearing also (pressed into crank from flywheel side).
