STUFORD Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Has anyone fitted one or now of one fitted to an osf? As im thinking of putting one into my cortina mk2, i now they do a bellhousing conversion for a type 9 box as they are fitted in some westfield/kit car's. dose anyone now where i can get one? I think it would be a good conversion as they are good strong engines,there is plenty around and can get a complete car for about £200. They are well tuneable and are 120 bhp out of the box. Im suprised there is not more conversions of this type in osf why is this am i missing something? Cheer's.

The Toyota 4age engines are the bollox. 200 bhp with very little effort from a 1600.
MK II Mark Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 I remember being blown away by a MR2 MK1 one when I was following it in my MK 1 XR2... I was impressed... Go for it
STUFORD Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Posted March 16, 2007 Arrrr just as i thought , so why is there not more of these engines in osf ?? And they do a 4agze which is a supercharged version! ive had the pleasure of driveing one in an mr2 and they are wicked fun. Also have you seen the blue mk2 cortina on this months CF magazine (page 84) 500 bhp ??

STUFORD Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Posted March 16, 2007 Your right fiestasteve when ford were making the BDA they where working with the japs on this very engine but ford pulled out and made there own 1600 16v, the BDA and toyota carryed on with it and the 4age was born. so some of the tecnology and design in the BDA came from the jap's !! so ive heard anyway ?!

The 4 age has the same bore and BDA, the same stroke as BDA, the same valve sizes as BDA the same size and shape ports as the BDA. But, The 4age crank is stronger, the con-rods are stronger, the top end design is 110% better design than BDA. The engine is generally much more reliable and caplable of high miles without rebuilds.
Anglia68 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Posted March 16, 2007 Raw Engineering are the guys you want to talk to. http://www.rawengineering.co.uk/default.htm They import all the different versions of the engine icluding the 20 valve and the supercharged one and stick them into seven type kitcars.
bmxdave Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Theyre a great engine. They use them in the AE86 driftcars, and theyre pretty bullet proof, and can get easy power and massive revs. They sound effing great too. Id deffo recommend one as an alternative to an XE or Zetec.
over_head_cam Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 Love to see one in an escort. Get it done m8
diffed Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 had one in an escort great engine only thing to watch for is shell bearings ! but then again i was rallying mine cant be beaten in ireland every second escort has them fitted in rallying .
Rick Posted March 17, 2007 Report Posted March 17, 2007 people need to experiment more i think. theres loadsa great engines to be played with but ppl seem to follow suit and all go for xe's zetecs cosworths... bla bla think outside the box. personally i say keep it oldskool and keep it ford.
STUFORD Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks guys, just got a nearly complete mr2 off ebay with good engine for just £150, so it will defo be going in. So if any one wonts a rs2000 pinto engine it is up for grabs!!
