Hi Teamloco. I have a Silvertop 4AGE in mine with a T-50 and a Corolla GTS (AE86) open rear. I am not easy on it, have run a lot of Autocrosses, have roadraced it and drive it on the street. Other than it having a bit of a whine in it, it has given me no problems in close to 12,000 miles so far. It is a 4.3 ratio.

:cheers:

Hey for those of you with 4AGE engines, can you take a pic of your engine mounts? (I need Inspiration) :mrgreen:

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower.

This is how mine is. Made from 3/4" 14 guage square tubing with a plate to match the bolt holes on the block and a flat 1/4 x 3/4 tab on the bottom that sits on top of a universal rubber mount which attaches to the frame. Works fine. Pics are a little crappy as it is tight up in there. Hope this helps.
:cheers:

Thanks Earley Motorsports, Kool! I should be able to modify the existing mounts. :mrgreen:

Hey Earley Motorsports, What clutch, flywheel, T.O.B, pilot bearing, fork ect, do I need to marry the T-50 (Hydro) to the 4A-GE Black top? (The T 50 was mounted to a 3T-C out of a 82 Corolla)

I used the stock GTS unit. The GTS has the clutch slave cylinder on the right side where I think the SR5 had it on the left side. I had more room on the right side so it all fitted nice.
