Hi there!
I'm sooo excited! I just read some info on the web about the last 4A-GE 20Valves built for some Corolla and thought this: Is it possible swap a 4A-GE 20Valves (it doesn't matter if a Black or Silver top, the difference explained in the documents I read is not that much) into a Celica with the 6 speed manual gearbox made with some blacktop? And secondly, is it possible and wise increase the displacement of the engine from 1.6l to 1.8l? If yes 'cause this doesn't give problems to the intake and this one is large enought to support 0.2l more, wich parts must be used? I mean, the only difference is the stroke so i need the 7A block or i can do that with something smaller? |

I'm trying to say I don't see why anyone would want 6 speeds of no power at twice the revs?
Yeah it's cool to have an 8000 redline and an extra gear but there is no advantage to it, the cruising revs on a BZ-R Levin is around 3500 - 4000 compared to 2000 in a Celica. They're both doing the same work, yet one has to strain twice as hard to do it. The maximum power at 8000 is negligibly higher than the maximum power of a 5sfe at 5000. A Levin takes off at those revs because it lacks the equiv in weight of a really fat person (250 pounds or 100+ kilos as you mention). If you put your mother in your passenger seat of your Corolla you'd see what I mean. The extra gear and the higher redline would be good if the engine was something like the one that resides in the RS200 Altezza, Now that would be an upgrade since there wouldn't be a loss in torque and power, it would be similar torque extended a wee bit longer -- 7600 RPM of 2 Liter high compression power. Lets face it, its unfortunate but the Celica was never designed to be a high revving 6 speed monster and I don't think you've added anything to this thread to suggest otherwise. -------------------- Mike W
