My neighbor has one in his small body corolla. He has a jasma 4-1 headers connected to it and all stock internals. Here are some points that I've noticed.

1. At stock, it is fast but nevertheless it's not as good as a B16. It has torque thou not like the b16.
2. Yes it does have Vvti. I know how vtec works but I don't know how Vvti works. I assume it's the same thing.
3. It get's hot easily.
4. Throttle position is a little bit off if it's on a FF. It would be better if it's on RWD.

It has VVT not VVTi. VVT is similar to Honda's VTEC and VVTi is similar to Honda's i-VTEC. VVT is what Toyota used prior to 1996 when VVTi was introduced.

We use 20Valves here in the states, It works great with the stock parts as far as putting it on a Corolla either you need to punch a hole on the firewall or get the mod parts to route the Dizzy to the front. since the motor was made for a Front Wheel Set-up. You can check a really good site: www.club4ag.com for more info on this motor and im sure you'll find whatever you want to know about this motor and other mods.

Hope this helps,

I need a contact for old school parts, Side Drafts for an 18RG Set-Up and 4AGE. Supercharger for a 4AGE.

Thanks all

I was able to ride in a AE89 Corolla with a 4AGE 20v blacktop with 6 speed M/T. Smooth to drive at low speed but accelerates like a devil when the accelerator is floored. Keep the engine stock and it should provide lots of performance with just regular maintenance.

hey bro, well the 4AGE 20Valve "black top" is a pretty stout engine (aluminum head / cast-iron block) so it can take alot of beating. also, the 20 valve is a very good "high-revving" engine and it has a good amount of Horsepower and Torque, considering its a 1.6L engine. plus the 20 valve is easy to maintain and there are still some aftermarket support for it.

anywayz, here some other things that I like about the 4AGE 20 Valve engine (wether if its a Silver or Black top):

-inexpensive.
-engine is strong and easy to maintain.
-non-interference engine.
-Aluminum Head & Cast Iron Block design (which is stout and can handle forced-induction applications.. with internal mods of course.)
-has ITB's (Independent Throttle Bodies) and is simple to tune.
-high-rev engine w/ low-mid end torque (these engines like to be driven hard)
-good availability of OEM and Aftermarket parts.
-can be put on literally any generation of Toyota Corolla's (TE27, AE86, AE92, AE101, AE111).. you can even put this engine on a KP61 Starlet!


aite, peace.

Ayun. VVT pala not VVTi. Thanks for the correction. Yup the engine likes to be driven hard.
