This is for the 6gc owners with 4age swaps, How powerful is the 4age 20V engine in our car? Options

[qmoney10457]

I've been thinking really hard lately about doing a 4age 20V "blacktop" engine swap in my car(94' st). I'm really not sure if I wanna do it anymore. I say this because a friend of mine told me doing the swap is not worth it because yes, the "silvertop" comes 160 and the "blacktop" comes 165 but all that power will not be produced in our car cause its way heavier than the corolla it comes in(witch makes a lot of sense 2 me). So I just wanna know if anybody dynoed their car with one of these engines in their car. If so, how much whp does it produce in our cars. Even if nobody dynoed it, if u at least have an idea...it would be very helpful. Thanx guyz.

I think if you're going through all the trouble to pull the motor out, you may as well toss a 3sgte in there.

It's factory turboed, more displacement, and would probably involve the same if not a little less amount of work than any 4a engine swap would.

It's not an easy task to toss a 4a in to any celica and expect it to work, the general concensus on the boards is that since it's an "A" series engine, it will just bolt right in, which isn't exactly the truth. I know Coomer has one in his Celica, but, if I remember correctly, it was quite a battle to get it to work right. John (Myzneyes) also had the 4agze in his Celica, but again, it wasn't the easiest thing in the world to get working.

If i'm wrong, and one of you has swapped in a 4a and considered it 'easier' than an S series swap, please, let us know. As it stands right now, I still consider a 4ag(z)e swap in to an ST more difficult than any 3s swap.
