I never imagined that I could want a hatchback FWD more than another B series CRX, but wow your FX16 is one of a kind. Attention to detail and all the work put into it is crazy
i'm in the same boat as you well sort of, B18cR swapped EK, my cousin has a AE93, hasn't been running in a while but can't wait to hear the 4AGE sing alongside my B
There are a lot of awesome jdm hatches if you're willing to import just take my starlet for example if you're from USA no one knows what it is and is plenty fast with just a few upgrades
This is awesome. I have an 87 Corolla fx16 with only 75000 miles. It’s been sitting for a while, but the goal is to have it looking as good as yours someday! Cheers man
Fuck that sounds amazing. I’ve always loved the sound. Its so distinct. Especially with the ITBs (or whatever throttle body you have). Thank you for perfectly capturing that in the intro.
So glad to see another post from you. Side note, it boggles my mind how a econo-box 4-banger from the 80s sounds like a HOWLING BANSHEE in the best way possible. What is wrong with today's cars?!
Yes and sound.! I did two dual Weber on mine back then.! And almost clean exhaust alle the way.. 🤣 everyone in my town absolutely loved me when I went to work in the morning 😂 best times.! I sometime look for a Corolla but they are all almost gone. Sadly
@@sushpants True! The only trouble is that I live in the rust belt so finding non-rusted specimens is a challenge unto itself 😅 But I’m still looking! If I can’t find anything soon I may just wait and import a clean AE111 BZR, it’s about the only suitable alternative to an AE82, and is also a pretty under appreciated platform (at least in the US… Evidently they’re pretty popular in New Zealand).
What a beastie! Have fun with that bearing job. Have to do the race car bearings every couple races+- so we keep spare fresh knuckles in the kit. No cat footage :'( tell your cat I said hi.
Great work! I'm new to the channel, but a long time Toyota enthusiast. That 20v sounds absolutely epic. I can't wait to get onto my next Toyota Project, (unfortunately many years off yet). But for the time being videos like yours will have to scratch my itch. Keep the good content content coming. I'm subscribing now.
Seeing you rev the shit out of it reminds me of when I had my ae111 blacktop and I too would rev the shit out of it. Fun cars to rev but not fast though. Faster than a standard car but it's all about them itb.
It's okay to not be the fastest around. I've driven plenty of cars that were faster but felt kind of meh to drive. The FX16 with the 20v is one of the most engaging cars I've ever driven.
Love the car. The two doors look way better than the four doors Australia got lumped with. I would like to ask, what is the purpose of the steel plate next to the radiator? I thought more air flowing through the bay would help with cooling and feed the ITBs better.
I dig the four door! We didn't have a four door FX but we did get as the Chevrolet Nova TWINCAM. The plate is to seal around and force the air through the radiator, otherwise the air will flow around the radiator instead of through it.
@@sushpants amazing videos. Thank you for all your work. I had a silver and a white FX 16 GTS just like yours. I have a 1989 MR2 now. Do you have the owners manual for the FX 16 from Toyota? If not, I have one and would be willing to send it to you.
Im curious if you'd consider it an FX20 now that it has the Blacktop? Looks fun regardless! Im one sunny day of rad bleeding, Timing curve adjusting and valve shim fiddling away from doing the same thing in my AW11, this was motivating! I miss that sweet green gauge cluster
@@manuelhenriques222 you may have come across my series on my silver top AW11 swap. Not a detailed how-to, but pretty thorough examination of all the choices your are faced with.
Love the content! Hopefully over time I can make my ae111 fractionally as nice as your fx16! Keen to see more updates and hopefully those wheel hub bearings turn up quickly :)
Years ago when I first got into the AE86/4AGE powered cars I always watched your sound videos, and now I'm soon looking to do a 20v conversion myself, how many miles have you got on your modded engine? it's been so long! Also how do you go about getting a proper nice condition engine imported? How did you go about getting yours back then? Thanks again for your great content.
What radiator, electric fan, and silicone coolant hoses are you using? I know the radiator and fan are from Mitshimoto, but are you using a Honda Civic radiator from the mid 90s? No company out there makes an aftermarket option for the AE82. As always, keep them videos rollin', my brotha! Thanks!
I watched the pervious video about the leaking radiator but I don't get why you used the Honda Radiator when you can easily buy Mishimoto aluminium radiator for the AE82 which will drop straight in, which surely must make more sense.

Hi! Have you tried replacing the original thermostat that originally came with the engine? Just wanting to know what was the original position of the jiggle valve when you opened it up. 12o'clock? Or slightly to the left about in front of the upper housing bolt? Thanks in advance!
What kind of hub/bearing replacements you going with/Timken? Good thing they didn't pop on thunderhill. Would've been really bad. Sick ride, didn't know yours goes to 8500rpm
I'm trying to get all Timken bearings. The 20v 4age blacktop is such a screamer and pulls hard all the way to redline. It's fun to see the tach needle dive past the original 4age's redline.
Are those Drag DR-20 rims? I'm looking at a set for my very own FX16 GTS hoping to upgrade from enkei basketweave rims and I keep getting mixed results for the bolt pattern online. Thanks!
I’ve been obsessed with this engine I’ve been loooking to get one for my 94 celica st it currently has a 7afe in it do you think it’ll fit in swimmingly ?
Honestly get an anti-gravity battery or a Braille Li-ion and put it in the trunk in the center, you will be amazed at how much the weight of the battery in the front affects your corner entry, and unsprung weight
It doesn't affect unsprung weight, only wheels, brakes, and hubs... Technically also bottom of suspension/shocks. Anything strapped or bolted to the chassis is sprung weight... The weight loss of moving and going to a lightweight battery setup will make a difference but not on unsprung weight
@@dannijacobsen8544 Yes thanks I meant sprung weight, I always get those terms mixed up lol. But yeah it does help alot with turn in and suspension load in the front, I've had cars where I have moved it and you could feel the difference, especially because the battery is mounted forward of the struts. I like how in Hondas they put the battery in the back of the engine bay
You should invest in a dimple kit for weight cutting the old girl. my goal on next car is to keep AC but remove the weight it is in body work chassis.. the cull to keep ac adventure
Якось у мене був звук, від колеса і я думав це підпипник, я його замінив але )) звук не зник, як потім виявлилось проблемою була стара гума but as of now I'm having replaced hub bearings and new tires)
Man, the 4age with the ITBs might be the best sounding 4 cylinder of all time.
I completely agree
I love this car. Glad to see it going again. The sound of the 4AG is phenomenal.

I'm glad to See You back!, I was waiting for another video, the king has returned again.
😂
this thing revving beyond 8k :0
Your car still sounds like perfection
So great to see the old 'rolla back in business! It makes me miss my own Opel Tigra 1.6 16v with ITB's even more!
I'll never get bored of that ITB sound!
That engine sound is 🤌🔥
Great to see more content again. Thank you.
I love the sound of the 4AGE! New parts and it's gonna be good again!
looking forward to the rest of the year of upgrades on the fx16!
This is awesome. I have an 87 Corolla fx16 with only 75000 miles. It’s been sitting for a while, but the goal is to have it looking as good as yours someday! Cheers man
Always good to see the FX16 getting love
I'm glad to see you and corolla back!
Man the 20v sounds meaner than ever! Glad to see you back 🍻
Sushpants Tuesday! Wew!
so good to see it back in action!
When's the next vid, eager for some corolla goodness
POGGERS new sushpants video
Ohhh what a feelin… TOYOTA! 😎
Awesome you're back bummer the corolla isn't ready but now we get to see more vids until she's ready and then driving videos 😀
my favorites channel is back
4:14 holy fuck that sound heavenly, wish i could afford an engine like that
The man has returned. So nice to hear the little FX roaring again

Today's cars are so quiet that they have to play fake noise through the speakers, blegh.
I miss my Twincam. Was my first Car. ! That thing pulled all the way baby :D
4age pull to redline is the best.
Yes and sound.! I did two dual Weber on mine back then.! And almost clean exhaust alle the way.. 🤣 everyone in my town absolutely loved me when I went to work in the morning 😂 best times.! I sometime look for a Corolla but they are all almost gone. Sadly
I'll wait on those part numbers my front hub needs replacing. I had replaced it with a knuckle from a ae101 that went bad
These videos never get old. Thanks for being a great inspiration to me when building my 4A AE92!
Amazing video, thanks for sharing it. Sounds so good
Glad that we have more videos with corolla
I’m running the c160
SUSHHHPANTSSS UPLOADDD WOOOOO
Was wondering what happened to you and your channel. More content please!!
Music 🎶 to the 👂😮
Thanks! 😃
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos man! Keep it up!!!
Thanks!
Nice to see you back sir. Waiting for new stuff of your little beast ❤️
Thank you!
WOO! It lives again!!!
So happy your back man! I’ve started looking into trying to find an FX16 project car thanks to your videos 😅 Can’t wait to see what you do next! ❤
Awesome! The AE82 is still an underappreciated platform so it's not to expensive to get one.

Jeez, you're totally right. I'll have to double the amount of feline footage in the next one.
Another great video! What exhaust setup o you have?
man those ratios are so good, wish my E30 box was spaced so well.
That's the beauty of the C160 that's paired with the 4age. Each gear change keeps you in the power band.

Is the short radiator meant for a civic? Really cool set up. I wish my old but trusty ae92 sounded and ran like that!
It actually is a civic radiator. Thanks!
Post more I only just found this channel I love it man absolutely love it
How’s it going? Did you get that wheel bearing issue taken care of?
Remove the aluminium plate and raise the hood a bit to lower engine bay temp.

They are Drag DR-20s which are essentially reps of the Works Equip 03. The bolt pattern should be the typical 4x100.
@@sushpants Thanks for the info!
checking bearing like wonder if this toy car gets so decent load on these puppy's..
It's rolling on Bridgestone RE-71r's so the grip is a little higher than the original :D
Where did you get the valve cover and the exhaust manifold cover
I painted the valve cover myself (I have a video on how I did it). The manifold cover from trackdog, a heat blanket for Miata header.
What size trumpets you have on? Sounds mint
I’ve been obsessed with this engine I’ve been loooking to get one for my 94 celica st it currently has a 7afe in it do you think it’ll fit in swimmingly ?
Hi Sushpants, serious question. Have you heard of anyone who has done a V6 conversion to an FX?
4ag ftw!
Hi bro what rear muffler is that? any brand?
do you have center resonator? Catalytic?

model of the mishimoto radiator that you installed in the fx16? thanks
Honestly get an anti-gravity battery or a Braille Li-ion and put it in the trunk in the center, you will be amazed at how much the weight of the battery in the front affects your corner entry, and unsprung weight
