Well, the engine is finally getting there! We are going to spend Saturday and Sunday finishing the wiring and this thing should be done!! I will post pics on Sunday night.

So after I finish this thing, and make some more funds, how should I upgrade it? With a turbo or supercharger? Which would be best do you think?

This looks sexy as hell!

Wow that's great to hear that your almost done with the swap. I just finished my 20v 4age silvertop swap today (at least the most part of it), and it has great top end power over the 7afe motor. Hopefully on Monday I can put on my exhaust and suspension when time permits. If you need any help, contact Dr Tweak. He helped me alot since I started the swap till now (started swap last week Tuesday).

Congrats on the swap
I agree that motor scream sex
I would go with turbo cause I've seen a few examples
here with some impressive numbers.

no sc for the 20v so alot of custom work there if you wan tot fit one

the silvertop is high comp so if you do do a turbo low boost and really good tuning is needed

if you want to do it right piston swap maybe rod just depends on your goals for the car

there is one other way to go keep it N/A and add some mods best person to talk to is bee aka kwanza26

Thats a nice looking motor though, i wanna see some more pics when you get a little further.

SHES ALIVE!!!!

Turned her over on Sunday!! Screamed like hell!!

However, not completely finished....

-Need to fig out what to do about the headers (the connection is not the same from the 4age to the 7afe)
-Elongate my throttel cable so it will reach
-re-route the power steering
-hook up the a/c
-few small others i can't think of right now...

If anyone has solutions to this stuff, especially the header problem, let me know!!

Thanks for all the support guys! I can't wait to get it on the street!

A/C won't work so forget about it. P/S takes some effort, but would eventually work...
I assume that you didn't get the downpipe with the engine? If so, you will need to customize something with the headers to work, possibly a FWD Corolla header would work after some customizing.

the downpipe with the 20V engine will hit the supension crossmember so you will need to cut it a few lengths and make sure it don't rattle like a can.

It might not hook up to my ECU and then be powered through the temperature control unit, but I should be able to find the hot wire that activates it and tap it to it with direct power (and through a switch).

NOPE

I'm probably going to by a new 4-2-1 header set for the 4age and then go from there. If there are any more ideas out there please let me know though! > How did you takel the header problem?

will you be up and running end of march?

Shooting for the second week of March....Right before Spring Break!!!

same here if so i drive over and meet you in spokane

Sounds good man!

I got the downpipe for mine so I just used it with the engine, but now the catback has gotten heavy from dirt and what not so its banging aganist the subframe of the car where the crossmember goes for the knuckles and swaybar. It rattles like a can, so Im gonna have to find a way to get around it. By the way, pace headers do not fit unless you customize it to fit and that requires some cutting, drilling and fabricating. If you know how to do those already than NM.

Wanna bet? My gze swap has powersteering AND AC. All the luxuries

so will mine

Ya, I guess there will be some fabrication in my future...
