Hello everyone i just bought about a week ago my first toyota
a 94 st coupe with a 4age swap

This car has bin for sale in the chicago area, my friend bought it from some guy that could not get a shop to work on it because of the 4age perhaps and how rigged up it is.

I bought it from him because my miata is turning into a track car and i could use a cheap reliable daily, i really wanted a mr2 but for the price i thought i can wait another year or so to buy one


the hooptie



ghey miata and hooptie



some junk in the trunk



itbs nom nom nom



NAWWWSSS BUTTON! (jk previous owner wanted a push start so he cut starter wires and made one -.-)




wireless 02 sensor -.-




least favorite thing about the car



andd what will be the death of me -.-





screw aftermarket alarms! and people that install them and have no idea what to do

cut the extra wires, they are to long, and just tuck them in with some duck tape. it will be fine.

I saw this car for sale, i wondered who would be brave enough to buy it.

>
i am hunting down each wire and cutting it from wear it was added hopefully it will solve some of the starting issues

ah! this car. I remember it too. good luck with everything.

it is a really clean shell though. that's good to have especially in the midwest.

Ugh i feel bad for you
I HATE WIRING!! .
Good luck should be a fun dd once its done

*camera zooms in* May God have mercy on your soul.

Oi, what a headache. Best of luck to you.

At least the car made it to someone who joined the site and will try to fix it. Good luck!

Glad to see you here!

Good luck, wiring can be a biitch

I'll get that shipping quote for the spoiler for you on Monday or Tuesday. The car seems like a great project. Will you be doing any exterior work as well?

>
curren tailights a drop tint maybe some nicer wheels first step is getting it running

lets see did more work on the hooptie



more **** out



much better looking

put more of the dash parts together



and now the fun part!!



my friend that is good with electrical crap came by today and we were trying to un- rig the push button start wires and found out that the reason it was installed was to bypass a short somewear. so now i am going to pull the harness and get a new one same thing with a body harness and fix this mess and have a daily. I am hoping to have it done by the july cellica meet at starved rock, fingers crossed!

Lookin alot better

i wonder if that motor has an auto ecu.

>


yup it does

Well more work is done but i am at a cross road, dont know what to do with the wiring harness Dont want to spend alot of money but also dont want to do any wiring my self sucks

well here is how the car sits currently after a nice detail








And the inside






and all of the power




What do you guys think i should do?

youve gone this far, i say pay the extra for the harness. it looks awesome dude, really

Definatly a nice change, she cleaned up well.

Get that harness done!

keep going.

I bought the car from Driver from this forum, by any chance were any of the previous owners on this forum?

Woke up this morning to find this outside...




What is it you ask?




GAS



Took of the itbs to clean them and parentally gas comes out of this line -.-



Fuel return line? or what


I opened up the gas cap got a very long PSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH and fuel stopped coming out of the line, i kept the gas cap opened so it doesn't happen again

cleaned inside the itbs to get a **** load of oil off


and how it sits currently

oh fun,

to bad it's not a 16v I have a complete uncut harness and ecu out of a 91 usdm ae92 I would make you a sweet deal on.

The blacktop will be fun, it seems like the 4a gets a bad rap here because the 3s is such a great motor but they are dependable,
smooth, and a lot of fun to drive.

That and the 4a's dont have much torque. Makes more sense in a light car like the corollas. Most users say they wasted there time swaping a 7a for a 4a unless they build them.

yes, and the rolla/ hatchi guys lol "upgrade" to the 7a.. the builds that i have seen that seem to be the most successful are the 7agTe' s in the old 86.. they will swap the 7a's bottom end in place of the 4a... and also IIRC i remember seeing that the 16valve makes more power than the 20 valve when boosted..

my brother was in the area during the time i was porting my head (just gasket matched and some smoothing of the runners and getting rid of the machining/casting imperfections) and is of the opinion that the 7a head could actually make a good bit more power and flow allot more than what most ppl give it credit for.. he said that there is ALLOT of metal that can be removed from the head, both on the intake and exhaust.. and that NA gains could be realized w/ some time on a flow bench (to get measured results) and over sized valves (which can be had for cheap from the 4age/gze head) but the best results would come from a turbo application.. i have 2 spare heads and he will be building my next(full boost) application motor.. and i am curious on how much of an improvement he can get on the flow of the head, but that will be a wile from now as he is still looking for a flow bench that will work for what he wants and for the right $$$

any hoo, rambaling over. .i hope all goes well with your build, what ever the direction you deiced to go ultimately.. IMO stick the the black top, its already in there.. see what you can get out of it!

i will agree that there is alot of metal to remove, building an na 7a right now. hopefully i get some good numbers and open up more people to modifying them. not gunna do oversized vlaves tho, 3 angle, port, polish exhaust ports, cams, 11:1 comp. forged bottom end. We'll see what we can squeeze outa her

what are you going to use for a controler? MS3, trust E-manage ultamate, safc, or any of the full top $$ stand alone???

>

Not sure yet. Gunna be a while to get everything together. Money is an issue. Lets not hijack this thread. Comment on mine (7a n/a build)

Attached the rear motor mount today



Anyone know what this is? Found it next to the starter wear the big power cable runs.




And shipping my harness to DRTWEAK tommrow to get this thing running hopefully in time for the celica meet at starved rock, Fingers crossed!



OO and got some free steelies, also need brake pads it was metal on metal -.-




^^THUG LIFE!!!

Signal wire? Look around on the starter. Should plug in around there.

>
I unplugged it from the starter the wire was cut from it, would this prevent the starter from getting power?

Could be
