What can i do with an AE90?

[Zidane]

Guys,

i plan to convert my old AE90 1.3 manual to a 1.6 auto. Anyone know of a good engine which i can convert? I am looking at roughly at an estimated budget of RM 5k +- for the whole engine conversion. 4 AGE, 4 throttle?

I was considering 4 throttle silvertop but i am unsure what is the current halfcut price)

(this does not include registration, brakes, piping etc... This is just the engine, servicing and installation)

the car is in BM, penang.

Thanks.

Take blacktop auto.

price?

 

[D7zul]

rm4k i think

 

[Zidane]

Really?

I know the blacktop 6 speed manual halfcut alone is above my budget.

zidane dude!

Why on earth do you want a 4-throttle auto? To utilize 4T most of the time you need to rev the bazookas outta the car to get into the powerband and with an auto you're gonna struggle man.

if u wanna auto, just find an auto gbox.. urs is carburetor right?

most people just throw it away.. u may get it for free if u're lucky

Yo izso.

How u buddy?

The car belongs to my father in law. He cannot drive a manual car anymore. So I plan to convert it to auto. Yup. I am aware that I have to make it work hard for auto. Already checked with a mechanic 4 years ago in 1 of the most remote places in kedah. This is why I am capping it to rm 5k. I will thrash it once in a while.

1.3 auto may not move the car. I dunno. 1.3 manual is already heavy for the car

i think 4EFE auto from starlet is more suitable 4 ur dad in law..

plug n play i think

what's ur body code again?

if AE90, It's 1.6L.. A series engine

if EE90, It's 1.3L.. E series engine

(unless converted by prev owner)

i might be wrong..

4 throttle silvertop the afm very problematic and VERY rare... :) i had to buy 2 spares when i found them in the halfcut shop.
But the power is dam cun for manual lah... for me ill save abit more for the blacktop. auto or not it is still about 20bhp more than silvertop... far more worth it.

Or just find a 4AFE auto, cheap n bullet proof...

Manual 4age blacktop is better. however if it is above your budget, Auto is still fine if you mod it nicely. Just not sure what my friend mod to his SEG with Blacktop 4Age, in fact did outrun a 6 Speed Manual Blacktop during a drag race.

Thanks bro for the experience. I won't modify to that extent. But maybe just enuff for it to accelerate to my satisfaction.

Try to search around sungai petani kedah, halfcut price quite cheap.
I bought blacktop manual 5sp just rm3800 from ceres body, transplant into my ee90.
BT auto should be cheaper, 6sp around rm6000.
