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 ??? -------------------- 1994 ST Celica --> no swap --> 7A rebuild

now that you mentioned in that way, didn't think about the compression ratio of this 20v engines, when I start on this i almost do the Franky LOL between the 4AGZE and the 7AGTE that Nik's have, thats to much job and needs to be well done or you can blow the engine. So i keep going for the 7AFTE, now thinking on the possible things that could when wrong on the chambers since is not for a turbo.
so I will go for the 4AGZE, is not a sexy 20v but this will save me a lot of headaches.. Thanks Nik for the offer but as Culpable said here in Costa Rica the customs make our live a living hell with the taxes, jut to give you an idea, for a car, engine and related to our hobby the cost of the taxes is about 70-80% of the price. so if the engine is about 2k they will charge 70-80% of the price in taxes This post has been edited by yagamius: Apr 15, 2009 - 10:34 PM -------------------- 1994 ST Celica --> no swap --> 7A rebuild
