Engine Swap from 7AGE to 4AGE 20v black top Options

[yagamius]

I'm planing to turbo my 7A engine, but I realize that I can swap that 7AGE to 4AGE 20v Black Top and then turbo it.

so since my Celi have an A engine the swap will be less work than swapping to a 3SGTE engine or the will be a hard swap, also don't know if I can use the same tranny or I need to change it.

a 4AGE 20v Black Top, is much better than my 7AGE, and it looks that just fits into the car, so have any of you do this kind of swap ???

4AGE blacktop is probably the worst motor choice if you're looking to turbo it. It has very light internals, and you will destroy it with forced induction. If you must do a 20V, do a silvertop, as it has stronger internals, and only 5hp less (real world numbers, not Toyota's numbers) than the blacktop. Back in 2007 I was talking with the owner of the local tuning shops who specializes in 4AGE applications told me to save my money and stick with a silvertop- especially if you want to eventually go turbo.

that being said, yes your Celica can have any A series engine bolt right up to the stock C52 transmission and motor mounts.
