4agze RWD transmision

[spool]

what transmision can i use if i was to RWD a 4agze???

[REN69]

a T50 from an AE86 GTS.

Or if you wanna be ballsy and go thru the trouble of doing the conversion (which involves custom made bellhousings) then you can go with a W series transmission from the older Celicas/Supras.

Lots of people have done this conversions, SEARCH is your friend.. Google is also your friend.

[freakinbox]

thought they made a bellhousing for that now that you could buy, ask the dori kaze guys. A few of them have done the supra transmission

[4Aaron GE]

There is, but it costs a few hundred bucks, and you have to get it shipped from New Zealand or thereabouts.

[REN69]

I believe you can get one made in Philippines, but yeah.. shipping =

[micro214_kp61]

if i'm not mistaken the Dori-Kaze guys are using adaptor plates to meet the W tranny to A engines. TOYCOOLROLLA sells the custom bellhousing from the Philippines. HTH

i know guys who makes custom bell housing here in the phils. but with is beter the T50 or the W series?? and whats the diffrence???

[4Aaron GE]

T50 = rinky dink trans meant for low torque
W5x = from supra turbo

that about sums it up.

ok, so if i was you what tranny would you use?? for a 4agze turbo??

[punter]

I would use a W series. Do it once do it properly.

We run one in out nissan V8 rally car. 330hp at the fly, no problems so far.

the problem is finding W trannys in the Philippines...


if you can't find a W5x tranny, try getting the Hilux tranny.

ok tnx for the advice

As far as I know, the 4A only had the weak T50 gearbox for RWD cars.
The 4A-GZE only came in FWD cars.

I read somewhere that the A and C (diesel) series engine had the same bellhousing bolt pattern.
**IIIIIIIIFFFFFF** this is true, then a bellhousing and gearbox (W55/56/57/58) from something like a CT140/CT141/CT147 Corona Diesel (circa 1982-1985) should be suitable.

Can somebody confirm that A and C series engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern?

Is the 4A-GZE an alternative to your 3S-GTE idea?
I would use the 3S-GTE.
It's a newer design, bigger capacity and easier (4A-GZE distributor hits firewall, 3S-GTE distributor doesn't).
But if you really want the 4A-GZE, people in the Maylasian club I told you about have put the 4A-GE (non turbo) into the 74 Celica plenty of times.

ahh ic. yah im still thinking on what to put in my celica.. 3SGTE is easier and more powerful than the 4AGZE but.. it more expensive!!!! hehehe. im stil thinking about it really.. coz i dont have enough money for the 3STGE, but i think ill just save up for the 3SGTE.. hehe. thx for all ur advice.. hehe...

T50s are not weak with the right application and the 4AGZE has been RWD converted so many times.

you got it backwards. the 3SGTE will hit the firewall and the 4AGZE won't. keep your facts straight!
