Hello!
I think 4AGE 20V is not well suited for all cars......even it can used to placed in RWD but water piping and distributor is the main factor.....i think BMW have had large engine as compared to Corolla/Starlet/Sprinter varients....!well i think if you still wanna go for 4AGE.....4AGE 16V NOn TVis is better as it came up in RWD setup and you won't face any major work in it as compared to 20v....if u have bigger engine room..20V can also be the good to put in...!
all it need is its mating with Trueno's/Carina/Celica GT's T-50 Tranny....!
i think Diff of it is strong enough to bear it....i think no need to change it..!
Thanxx
