4a-gze swap, need to clear some things up Options

[DustyBurns30]

i did a search and have been trying to find info on what goes wrong when people try to swap a 4a engine into their celi's. it said in the feasible swap sticky that there is some problem when you use the 4a tranny and then i read about something going wrong with the power steering pump. does anyone know what exactly the problem is? coomer and mynzeyes, you guys are the ones with the experience, i'm particularly interested in your input.

btw, i know this topic has been discussed a lot, but there is no real clear cut info on it, so if anyone knows where i can find some please let me know.

thanks

his 4age could be quite different on the water routing.... "custom" radiator hoses aren't a problem.... just go to the store with a wire hanger in the shape you need... find one similar and cut it to fit.... done

the problem with the 4a-g(z)e motors on PS is that on 4/7a-fe motors the PS pump is on intake side, and on 4a-g(z)e it's on exhaust side.... especially on the 4a-gze since the s/c takes up most of the intake side...

if you got a 1/2 cut then you would have the wiring needed (although, the 4a-gze wiring is only like 2 sensors away from a 4a-ge harness... and my 4a-fe harness was only a couple wire lengths from a 4a-ge harness... so they're similar).....

as far as the tranny not bolting up... i'm not 100% sure... the latermodel FWD 4a-gze trannies (from japan) is an e51 and uses a shorter back mount (according to devin at alloutracing.netfirms.com)... BUT, the c52 tranny you have will bolt up to a 4a-gze... it's what an mr2 came with...
