4A-GE Options

[o0black0o]

Curious to know will the 4AGE Directly drop into the AT200? When I say directly drop in, i mean can I drop it in with ( taken from a site) "In general, the engine comes with an intake manifold, exhaust manifold, fuel injection, alternator, distributor, usually partial wire harnesses that are cut near the engine, oil pan, valve cover, pulleys, etc. We do not guarantee that the accessories will be included or that they work properly. Axles, motor mounts and shift linkage do not come with the engine."

And have no serious complications such as different transmission, mounts, etc. Yes I noticed it says wiring harness is cut.

EDIT: I read the FAQ, but It didn't say if you need the clip or not. Hench Im still asking if major complications arise.

Nah that's just half of it. Aside of putting in the engine and doing the wire harness conversion, you will also need to redo a few other things using both parts from the 7afe and 4age. One of them is the power steering pump. What's need to be done is that since the 4age uses an external p/s reservoir, you will need to get one from either a 6th gen celica GT or any other vehicle that uses an external reservoir(problem with this is that you might need to fab the mounting bracket and find a good place on the strut tower to mount the reservoir). You will also need to make custom p/s lines from the p/s pump to the reservoir, and from the reservoir to the rack and pinion. 2nd, would be your a/c if you plan on keeping it. You will need to have an autoparts store or an a/c specialist to fab. the a/c lines so it can be used on the 16v'sor 20v's a/c compressor (So that would mean using the fittings that go to the 16v a/c compressor and getting fitted on to the celica a/c lines. MAKE SURE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT FITTING GOES ON WHICH LINE!! I learned the hard way (Several leaks leading to a $1500+ a/c fix ) Oh, and make sure to keep the a/c idle up vsv that is on the celica, you will need to wire that up to the ECU so the car doesn't die out with the a/c on. Other essential parts you need is an AFM, ECU, ignition coil, and ignitor to get the car running(If the engine doesn't come with these). Almost forgot, make sure to get a vac. diagram for the engine.
