if it's a 1990 FWD its an AE92, what motor does it have? post pics man... chances are it's got either a 1.6L DOHC 4AFE motor, OR a 1.6L Twin Cam 4AGE.

RickMN... what's wrong with 17yr old cars?

TCorolla1990 · 07-31-2007, 04:26 AM

i no for a fact its twin overhead cam, not pushrod, ill get pics asap

your car would have a belt and would change it soon. it would be @2-3hr job if you do water pump, seals and belt. I bet i can have it done in a hr. My 89 325i BMW took me 2.5 hours and that is alot more work then this AE92 engine that i have in my 90 corolla DX.

Modding a old car is fun and a challenge. Shoot my BMW is 14yrs old and i have only broke the surface with modding

TCorolla1990 · 07-31-2007, 05:07 PM

thats awsome, ur car looks gr8 aswell, lol that for your help

TCorolla1990 · 07-31-2007, 08:10 PM

and another question, would it b worth putting a cold air intake on it or leave the stock air intake

***REN69*** · 07-31-2007, 09:05 PM

Doesn't matter, you're still going to get 2-5hp max.. if that.

CAI would have to be custom done for your car as there are none available that I know of.

If you want to go for looks...go for it. Just make sure that the air filter is a washable and reusable one.
