Hi there!
I'm sooo excited! I just read some info on the web about the last 4A-GE 20Valves built for some Corolla and thought this:

Is it possible swap a 4A-GE 20Valves (it doesn't matter if a Black or Silver top, the difference explained in the documents I read is not that much) into a Celica with the 6 speed manual gearbox made with some blacktop?

And secondly, is it possible and wise increase the displacement of the engine from 1.6l to 1.8l? If yes 'cause this doesn't give problems to the intake and this one is large enought to support 0.2l more, wich parts must be used? I mean, the only difference is the stroke so i need the 7A block or i can do that with something smaller?

yes all this can be done its been done before

we have a couple people on here with 20v swaps

and 2 of us with 7afe bottom with a 4ag head

i have a turbo big port head on a 7afe bottom fully built putting out 300 whp on 12 psi this is my low dd setting

just google 7age or 7agte

there are also threads on here of my full build

Yes, i read the topics, and saw the 20v in the engine bay of some member, but i didn't found anything about the 6speed gearbox, and nothing about the results of a 7A-GE 20V NA, and not turboed

most swaps are done with the 5spd (C56?! trans)

>

i personally dont think the 6speed is anything special it would be ok in an 7age n/a form

cost wise / part wise i would just go with the 5 speed C56

4age is good in a small car like a Levin, But is piss weak in the heavier Celica.

3S-GE or GTE is what you want. The poor little 4age would have to rev to 4000 just to bring up some torque to get the car rolling.

X2

Its like putting a 4 cylinder in a semi truck.

how about a 2zz?? its about the same price as a blacktop and has more displacement with VVTL-i. sounds good to me.

I wonder sometimes how many people have ever even driven a 4a that talk about
it. The 4a has different gear ratios to go along with its power curve (rolla c56 vs celi c56).
I have been driving my ae92 for 3 years without 3rd or 4th gear, so The lack of torque, yeah it is
huge. My little stock 16v 4a would stomp the crap out of my stock 7afe no question about it.
The huge wieght difference between a rolla and a celica is about 250 lbs as covered already
in another thread.

What are you trying to say? The guy has a GT, a 4age would be a downgrade from a 5sfe. It would be a downgrade from a 3sfe.

I was reading about a guy wanting to swap a 4a and getting the usual dribble about
how the 4a has no torque and no power and the celi is a giant tub of lard compared
to the levin. I didn't see where he said he was thinking of changing a 5sfe. I guess
because it says gt hatchback under his name that is what he is doing.
What are you trying to say?

I'm trying to say I don't see why anyone would want 6 speeds of no power at twice the revs?

Yeah it's cool to have an 8000 redline and an extra gear but there is no advantage to it, the cruising revs on a BZ-R Levin is around 3500 - 4000 compared to 2000 in a Celica. They're both doing the same work, yet one has to strain twice as hard to do it. The maximum power at 8000 is negligibly higher than the maximum power of a 5sfe at 5000. A Levin takes off at those revs because it lacks the equiv in weight of a really fat person (250 pounds or 100+ kilos as you mention). If you put your mother in your passenger seat of your Corolla you'd see what I mean.

The extra gear and the higher redline would be good if the engine was something like the one that resides in the RS200 Altezza, Now that would be an upgrade since there wouldn't be a loss in torque and power, it would be similar torque extended a wee bit longer -- 7600 RPM of 2 Liter high compression power.

Lets face it, its unfortunate but the Celica was never designed to be a high revving 6 speed monster and I don't think you've added anything to this thread to suggest otherwise.

EDIT: You might as well get new dials which places 0-8000 revs inbetween where it would normally mark 0-6000, it would be cheaper and give the same effect as putting a 4age in place of a 5sfe. End of story?

and again WHERE THE HELL DOES HE SAY HE IS REPLACING A 5SFE?

>


wtf?

so much LOL in this thread.

5sfe where it says GT hatchback. I don't know of any GT hatchbacks with a 7afe, Infact if its not a 5sfe it's probably a 3sge - Swapping out a 3sge for a 4age is even more crazy.

I edited the link, I didnt mean to bring it back here lol

Some people do own more than one Celica. I wouldn't recommend
anyone to swap an S for an A series engine. I can't imagine why anyone
would even ask that question if that is indeed the question.



I will ask my Mom to go for a ride.

20V will pwn a 5SFE in a race... yeah... I had both. All the haters... blah blah blah... revs... blah blah blah... torque... you don't know what you're talking about. I would explain it... but it's too redundant...

wait a mintue whoa. a 5SFE and a blacktop is a laughable comparison. there's no way a 5s could hang with a blacktop with a 6spd on a even playing field (i.e a celica) i cant stress this enough but torque doesnt win races. power does.

>
Isn't that what I just said?... hehe...

covering your tracks....

You're the first to mention racing, I agree the 165BHP over the 140BHP would have the advantage (in a straight line race,) but these are street cars and I'm talking drivability on the street.

If you're going down the track of what would beat what in a race, Why the hell would you put a 4age in when you could have a 3sgte. I wasn't "hating" on the 4age, It's a good motor, it's just not the best choice of motor for a Celica, infact its probably one of the weakest and I believe inadequate for the heavy Celica.

I'd explain it, but you wouldn't really understand blah blah blah -- Nice. You can still have a 4age and admit its weak in a Celica, just like the first guy did, doesn't make your manhood any smaller and it's not a bad engine, it's a hell good one once again for the lighter Levin/Trueno or your USDM Corolla, not the Celica. Sorry to upset anyone who owns a 4age.

Good for the corolla unless my mom is in it with me? lol
I guess you didn't read my original post I drive a corolla
with 1st 2nd and 5th gear and reverse. I can go from 0 mph
to 65 mph in 1 gear (2nd). I routinely lug it around at 35 or 40mph
in 5th gear (yes I could still do that with my mom in the car).
It has good enough torque to be a daily driver under these conditions.

You have obviously never driven a 4age, maybe you should stop making
"yo momma is so fat" jokes and go do that.


( note to self , double any custom part price for delusionz)

Street driving is subjective. What I find hilarious is your argument comparing engine cruise speeds. Because of rod-stroke ratios, a 5S at 4000 rpms is roughly equivalent to a 4AG at 2000-2500 rpms. Of course these numbers are estimates... but because the 5S has such a long stroke versus rod length, its single revolutions places much more stress on the motor than a 4AG, with its short stroke, at much higher rpms. Neither engine struggles... they just work like how they're designed.

As far as street driving goes... SUBJECTIVE. The engine constantly moves up and down all over the powerband. The 4AG has a much larger powerband... so to say one is better than the other, when the torque difference is small (~20-25 ftlbs)... it's just biased opinion. I don't know about you... but what happens when you speed up? The engine revs. Yeah... so logically more power gained through revs is good right? The 5S may stay in the powerband longer... but you don't use power when you're cruising. You use it when you accelerate.

And no... my mandhood satisfies my wife. That's good enough for me. I'm just saying... based on my PERSONAL experience owning cars with both engines (20V powered AE86, MR2)... the 4AG rocks the socks off of the boring 5SFE any day. But hey... each to his own... just know what you're talking about. I still liked my 20V AE86 better than my daily ride (350Z)...

At least we know where your name comes from now...

Cheers!

I've driven cars you'll never have in the USA, including BZ-G & BZ-R Levins, SS-I, SS-II, SS-III & GT-Four Celicas. And yes I'd rather retain a 3s-fe in an SS-I than have a 4age in it. The only one I haven't driven is a 5sfe which is the gamble I'm taking with this argument in assuming its like a 3sfe but better.

Coincidence the two of you are so ****ty at me regarding the 4age as a torqueless little motor, you both own ST's.

Take all the digs you want at me, 1600cc NA is always going to be a torqueless little motor.

EDIT: Obviously if Toyota Japan thought an A series engine would be more suitable than an S series engine, then that's what would have happened. Toyota USA thought an A series engine would be suitable in the poverty model.

I can't see the point of soo many answers....
1) i dont have a 5S-FE, in Italy, where i am, i never saw any 5S-FE, and i don't care it
2) the point is not "is it better than 7A-FE?" "is it good?" "why 6spd, 5 is better"... the point is: can i do this? will i need something to swap the 6spd gearbox? will it work fine in a celica, or it will have some problem for fitting, and have some loss in durability?

The considerations about the 4A-GE are not that needed...cuz anyone can read something and write what he thinks...it would be better just if who write knows the engine, how it runs, wich are the best rpm to have more power...

If me, or anyone else wants a car with a 7400 rpm power peak and 8000 redline can think about it? This is a japanese car, it must scream like hell when i want to go fast...if i'd wanted a car with a lot of torque at 800 rpm i bought a 3.0 TDI Audi...

Scream yes, Go fast -- Thats subjective. Fast to ST owners, Slow to GT & GT4 owners.

Actually, they don't really scream, they sound tinny.

And yes you can make a 6 speed gearbox work with custom fabrications. Haven't heard of anybody doing it but anything is possible.

But why? Alot of work, alot of time, alot of money for 165BHP?

Why do u think this? for an high rev engine its a good thing...and as u can see with shorter ratios for 1st-5th gear it works fine for fun, and a longer 6th gear than the 5th can provide a better economy race XD in italy gasoline is 1.30/40€/l that are almost 2$/l...have a tune up that provides more fun to run and higher km/l in econo it's a must...thats why swap a 3S-GE or easily turbo a 7A-FE will result in loose the car in the garage, and take a ride once a year...
