Well This will be an ongoing write-up for me. I will be installing a 4A-GE Silvertop 20V into my 92 Celica. For those you you who are not familiar with this it comes from a Levin AE101.



This will going going into this car a 92 Celica ST.



Since there is very little aftermarket support for the stock 4A-FE, my options were limited to say the least. So as a start I'll swap the motor so to give the car some nice VVT that I can play with. The motor is stated at 160@7400. Although this number is overrated at best. It most probably ranges from 140-150. Along with this swap I will be using Megasquirt*N*Spark to control both timing and ignition. And as I have read should be around 150-155HP. I will find out exact numbers when the swap is done.

I am on a budget so things will go one at a time. So first things first, Remove old engine (which had a soark plug break off inside the cylinder) from car. That is now 90% done. I have two more motor mounts and it's out.

I am now in the process of cleaning up the 20v to be transplanted. From what I see looks fine for just sitting there for a few months. As of now, all belts will be replaced, water pump, oil pump, oil filter, oil, spark plugs, and clutch.

Also because I am using megasquirt, I will be using a Ford EDIS system which the ECU can control. I will be posting pics of how and what is required for this. Although the thought of using ford parts on my car is not particularly what I would want to do, it does work well with this motor from what I've seen.

I will have pics up of the process of doing this swap, Along with all the information I have already collected in planning for this. I.E. Wiring diagrams, Vacuum Line Diagrams, Maps for ECU, etc.
