I am not exactly sure what the minimum brake requirements would be for certification. It may pay to talk with a certification agent about that.
Regarding the front suspension you may want to look at something like 1600/180B struts with any good quality gas inserts. I haven't used these myself but have heard that they do fit ok. Someone else may be able to comment on this.

The Bilsteins are expensive but are very good for competition purposes.

Cheers Niscoupe ...

OK so i'll need to get certified welder to do the mounts...cool!!
Do you think i'd have to put disc on the rear ??

I mean i guess i look at cars factory fitted with the 4age and they just have drums on the back..

Could you suggest a good conversion for my ute for the front... i am currently running discs with lancer brake booster... i know this wouldn't be sufficient but anyt other alternatives... i hera bilsten etc is pretty steep in cash yeah ? Or are they quite reasonable ??

Cheers

The RWD setups came out in import AE86 Sprinters, Levin, Trueno. The front wheel drive motors are ok at a pinch if you don't have to use the standard inlet manifold. If you don't want to use the computer and injection it is quite straight forward to fit twin sidedraughts but you will need to change the distributor...I think a non injected corolla dizzy can be made to fit.
Engine mounts were quite easy to make up. If you're wanting to have it certified then all the welding will have to be done by a certified welder.
Brakes and front suspension will have to be uprated. I am using bilstein suspension and 4 pot AP calipers on the front with discs on the rear. I use a pedal box to alter bias from front to back, something that wouldn't be required on a straight out road car.
Gearbox is a T50 splitcase which is used normally behind the RWD 4AGE. In the Toyota they use a hydralic clutch but I have adapted mine to use a cable clutch, using the standard Datsun setup.
There are many different transplant diff options that people are using in 1200's. There is no way that the standard 1200 diff will cope with the 4AGE. Even a C20 diff would be borderline. Have a look around this site and others and work out what diff ratio you need before deciding which way to go.

JVML, your web site is very nice. One thing puzzles me though. The B110 was made from 1970 to 1973 (model years 1971, 1972 and 1973). The B10 (Datsun 1000) was made in 1967. Your photos are a B110 though.

Hey Niscoupe.....

Sounds all good mate...

Say so are all the engine mounts and all that easy enough to fabricate etc?...

Would you know if there would be any dramas getting it ceretified, i wrould really like to have an N/A setup like yourself for road use.

What model toyotas do the RWD engines come in... is it like the Celica, Supra ?

Can i also use these boxes and diffs too ??

Would i have to make any suspension/brake changes for certification etc... or basic safety ??

Sorry bout having too many questions...

And if anyone else can add anything...much apprciated...

Cheers

I have a 4AGE in my rally car. The basic fitting points are covered in the posting below. You need to start with a RWD 4age if possible....this has the manifolds, water pump, engine mounts etc better suited for mounting in a Datsun. I had to make up both engine mounts and the gearbox mounts. Its all pretty straight forward though and is a very good conversion. At this stage I have been using a naturally aspirated setup which goes really well but the new car I am building up will be a 4AGZE supercharged motor to get some more mid range power. Contact me if you need any more info.

Cheers,
Bob
