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 |

seeing as how i'm using the tranny out of the clip, that the GZE is meant to use:
the AE92 axles that came with my clip did NOT fit. the longer, passenger side axle was correct, but for the driver's side, i had to send the clip axle off to RAXLES.com to get it extended a little over an inch. Also, with the beefier GZE axles, i had to grind down on the crossmembers just a little (not enough to compromise strength). also, as far as the motor "dropping right in", that is not the case. the driver/passenger/front tranny mount all will bolt right in, using both clip and celica mounts (you have to change out certain parts), however, the rear mount (near the firewall) i could not get to mount correctly. i had to drill out the crossmember, and bolt it in on my own. As for the power steering. i have adapted the 2 lines to each other, but it is still a matter of whether my method will work or not, i will tell how i did it only if it works, as i'm not going to tell you the WRONG way to do it. the radiator. i used the stock celica radiator, plugged up some spots at the bottom that the GZE did not utilitze, and got a hose that fit from autozone.... -------------------- |
