front end

[Mittim]

I just bought a mini body, but it is missing the front end. Im going to put a 4age motor in, does anyone know what front end and rear axle should i use?

[pantera2075]

It will just fit in a round nose with much jiggery pokery, a custom plenum chamber, custom engine manifold, megajolt, or megasquirt, and an inventive cooling system. Much easier in a clubby front (see dazzlers current build).
Overall, not an easy build - but cheap comparatively.

What hubs, a-arms and wishbone can i use?

[pantera2075]

All standard if you like. Go have a look at Dazzlers build under "others builds"

[Mittim]

what type of discs can I get to fit the standard hub?

[Dazzler]

Here you go

You will find pictures of the engine in the front of a round nose and a clubman

I am going to be honest and brutal with you here, if you have to ask about what disks will go on std mini hubs then you defo will not be able to take on getting a 4age working in a mini.

Buy a kit done for one of the other engines, this engine is a massive in depth build (well i think so). If it wasnt for the fact i am doing my build for under a grand for a challenge i would be using one of the other engines prob in a pre-done kit

i appreciate your honesty. But unfortunately i live in south africa so getting parts is difficult, i doubt that kits will be available here

[Schizzo]

Kits are available in jhb, R4500 for a toyota frame, R5k powdercoated. Will be starting my own 20v build,hopefully before the end of the year,but im down in cpt and will be making my own frame.

whats the place called bru? Ill give them a call, shot for the help

[Schizzo]

You want to contact Tommy at the mini workshop in jhb,if you need the number pm Wolfhound on here,he's up in dbn and the chairman of the kzn mini owners club,they are busy with a 20v clubman with a frame from the mini workshop

[pantera2075]

I wouldn't have gone 4a-ge either if i'd have known how involved it would be.

If they are available down there, go Nissan CG13DE from a Micra or March and tune it. You can mod a std front subby piece of p*ss.

Go have a look at BigChief's threads on here about it.

i contacted mini workshop, apparently they have kits available for the 4age 16v and 20v motors, should make things easier
