ENGINE CHECK～UP！！
I'm back again with another update on the Mark II project!
On further inspection on the old 1G-E engine I noticed.. well.. It's hardcore fugged. So we did what was needed - THROW THAT B IN THE TRASH!  Since I was in the need of a new engine and I'm still in good contact with the guys at TEC-ART'S I asked them if they maybe have a good and semi-powerful engine that I could swap into this heavy thing.. When they went through the list of engine that they had in their shop my eyes went bigger when they told me this - 4AGE 20v Blacktop. O boi. Yes this kinda goes against the whole "semi-powerful" rule but I just couldn't get the idea out of my head.. So..  Here it is! Its also completely stock. The engine came out of an AE111 that had a pretty hefty rear end collision. The engine has like 80kms on it but was completely overhauled by the TEC-ART'S guys. It costed me about 2.5k with the engine harness and the 5-speed gearbox.  Even tho I will end up restoring the whole body of the Mark II I still wanted to see if everything fits or if I have to make some major custom work to make it sit. Obviously there will be some custom work since the 4A-GE never came with the Mark II. So I hit up Skip if he could help me just throwing everything together pretty roughly so I can get a better look on what I have to work with heh.  Unsuprisingly enough - IT FITS! The engine bay is pretty big so there more than enough space for this little four-banger. Well.. We did end up removing it again after that heh (sorry skip) |
