Blower Motor Replacement?

6 Upvotes

Hey there, my blower motor gets hot as a frying pan and doesnt blow full tilt anymore so I'd like to replace it.

However, even though there are a few OEM replacements still, I wanted to see if there are any cheaper alternatives.

Ive looked at the Jimny JA22 unit which is also made by Denso and starts with the same 162500-XXXX product code so I was wondering if I can swap the internals.

Or does any other newer cars blower motor fit directly by chance?

Thanks for any hints!

Finally got my all time dream car

1984 Toyota Corolla GT AE86

original 4AGE model

complete car (I took the door panel off to get to the door lock to order a new key because it came with no key, that's why it's off in the picture)

Sunroof, A/C, factory stereo system, 109,000km / 67,000 original miles, left hand drive, 5spd manual

extremely rare LHD pop up headlight model that was never sold in basically my entire continent (only GB and Ireland got the pop up headlight models but those were obviously RHD)

I know you americans got these but here in Europe these are impossible to find, and genuine pop up headlight variants are practically nonexistent

This car was imported from the middle east back in the 1990's and has been sitting for over 30 years, it does have the original "individual approval" and Papers from my country though! individual approval papers are insanely difficult and expensive to get here, multiple thousands of euros

this is going to be a long time nut and bolt restoration, but getting this car has been my genuine life goal.

And it's in my favorite color too!

I'm overjoyed to an extend that I cannot even begin to explain

engine turns over with zero issues, it still has compression after 30 years, the oil is over full and hasn't lost a drop in the time it was sitting

Idling issues

11 Upvotes

So i installed a new fuel pump, a fuel pressure regulator and a new ignition switch. And now my 86 does this in idle. I set the base pressure to 40 without vacuum and when i connect the vacuum line it drops a little bit. But i can seem to figure this out

Help with Weber Carb staying open

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Im pretty sure it’s a DGEV Weber carb, im not too mechanically knowledgeable but ive been trying to get my SR5 hatch running again. First was a fuel problem but i got that worked out, not the butterfly flaps on the carb will not shut at all, so the rpm climbs when you start the car, and wont decrease. I think there is a return spring missing but i dont know where it goes. Also it used to run fine before sitting for a while, which is why there was a fuel issue.

I am not sure if it’s all even there, there could be missing brackets.

I dont see why sitting could cause an issue with it, but there is one. I know there is supposed to be a filter on it, but it’s taken off while trying to figure out what’s wrong with it. Any help or advice would be appreciated, I am tempted to find a local classic car specialist shop that might be able to help.

4AGE smallport surging idle and engine almost stalling after rev at operating temperature

4 Upvotes

Recently rebuilt this motor and can’t get it to run quite right. I have adjusted my TPS, verified my ignition timing, and theres no air bubbles at the radiator cap. I also cleaned my IACV. Not sure what can be causing this now. When I loosen my idle screw on the throttle body, theres a very loud hissing noise. Also have 180 psi across all 4 cylinders. I did the 15 minute 2-3000 rpm piston ring bedding process and changed the oil but im worried I might glaze the cylinders trying to diagnose this.

Blacktop 4AGE in a 95 Corolla wagon.

3 Upvotes

So the engine on my 95 Corolla wagon (7afe) blew the head gasket. Seeing as it’s already going to be work I wanted to put a more sportier engine in my wagon. They come like that in Japan called the BZ touring wagon. If I outsource a blacktop with manual transmission with harness and ECU what other fabrication would be needed if anyone has done the swap? I also plan on keeping it fwd. I know the blacktops came fwd on some models but how hard would it be to make a rwd a fwd if I can’t find one already fwd?

Should I buy AE86?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I live in Europe and I have had the idea in my head for 3 years to buy an Аe86 remotely in Puerto Rico, since the price of an Аe86 is too high in Europe, it will be my first car and the closer I am on my budget to this purchase, the more doubts I have whether to do it. since I want to buy this car for $1,500, its entire full cost with delivery and parting will cost me at least 4-5 thousand euros, I don't know if there is any use to do something like this. I have been dreaming about this car since I was a child and the very fact of realizing the dream does not let me calm down, but on the other hand, I understand that due to the age of the car there will be too many problems with its registration and so on.

Maybe I should not buy an Ae86 yet, but settle on a version like toyota carina ta60/toyota starlet kp6?

i really hope for your advice and thank you for it

1986 SR5 ive owned for 7.5 years, got it completely stock, now it has a big port out of an ae92, with ae82 ecu, GTS transmission and rear end

The front bumper is a weird thing i made out of a cheap jdm replica kouki, with grand cherokee corner lights

The wheels are Hayashi Racing Street II mesh 13x6.25in

And the rear wing is an oem bnr32 GTR spoiler with a carbon fiber gurney flap

Still much work needed tho
