7a to 5s motor swap - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #68354 10 posts Started by sparkle
I currently have a 7a but am looking to swap for a 5s.

what all has to be swapped with the motor?? trans, header, intake man...?
what else should i look out for


also, what are some names of reliable japanese motor dealers

tell me everything
Why do you want to do this?its only a 30 hp gain?Is your 7afe blown?


U need a new engine,mounts,tranny,axles,harness(i think),ecu...all i can think of off the top of my head.Not many ppl do it because there isnt really a HUGE gain,most people just go straight to 3sgte

BANNED. for life, you moron.

4a-ge silvertop or blacktop is a much better choice ALOT easier to swap and 30 more hp than the 5s-fe
i have 200k miles on it.

so 4a is better eh? cool cool, i'll look into it
