my freind has a 91 celica st bone stock...and well, its slow.

i dont know much about oyotas but i was looking for a swap for him and i found one that seems pretty dam sick!

JDM Engine Depot

but how could i got this thing swapped in there. he knows its gonna cost $, and hes down.

any help...and maybe other suggestions

 

In his model Celica, it would be a pain in the ass to put it in. The ST trim came with a 4afe. To put in a 3sgte I believe you have to cut a weld 1 or 2 mounts in order to swap it. If he had a GT or GTS it would be an easy bolt in swap. Wiring would be the challenge but not too hard. I would suggest buying a GT or GTS with a blown motor and using that as a shell or just find someone selling their swapped GT or GTS.

 

ok cool....so theres pretty much nothing we could do with his model? bc he just got it for 900 bux and he loves it. but....its...SLOW!!!

 

Well to be honest. I would just keep it. The 4afe is very fuel efficient. You can always swap in a 4age 20v in it but I don't know if it will be really worth the money. I mean even if he had the right model, he would have to be prepared to spend 2500 to 3000 for a half cut clip with delivery.

 

ok,,,well he will probably save up for a new car and keep it till he has the money, thx everyone

 

all depends on how much power he is looking for, for most people, a low boost 4age setup would be plenty

 

If you can weld, do the 3sgte. Its not as hard as a lot of people make it out to be. Although I have been apart of many "this engine doesnt belong in this engine bay" scenarios.

 

or build that 4A. You can get a 7AFE block from a slightly newer corolla and throw a 4AGE head on there. I was told with that setup an intake exhaust and megasquirt. You are good for 160WHP. Do a little more work and you can creep it up there. Or you can go 4AGZE stuff and turbo the car.

Im not 100% sure on the Celicas and Corollas 4A block differences but they cant be too crazy

 

Also you can get a 4AGE 20v with 5 or 6 speed trans for about 1000 to 1500 bucks. Im not sure what you can and cant use. But its not that heavy of a car so it should be fun

 

omg whats wrong with you people, the 4agze is cheap as hell, and with a pully will make 150-170whp. or just get rid of all the supercharger stuff and throw a turbo on it. but if yoru buddies car is an auto, i would just leave it stock. convertign those cars to a stick is pretty much impossible.
