info on the 4a-gze???, little help.. Options

[x_itchy_b_x]

Ok, heres the deal. First of all i wanted to swap a 3S-GTE into my 96 st, but i would have to modify mounts and use a different transmission right? correct me plz. So the 4A-GZE would be the perfect alternative right? 170hp is what i hear from other topics (i did do a search before i wrote this) just some things were unclear. So, my dad sez he can probly get a hold of one from a friend who owns a junkyard. So maybe getting a new motor isn't a dream any more we will see. Oh and i plan on buying the whole clip.
ok so heres my questions:

• What model/year use a 4A-GZE?
  
• Would i have to get a new transmission?
  
• This is probly a stupid question but could i use my 7A-FE's ECU?
  
• If i needed a new transmission what model/year would i be able to use?
  
• Would i need any type of new suspension?
  
• Would i have to get a new large fuel pressure reulator?
  

Thanks for your help. Any info on this swap is very much appreciated.

i'm gonna add to this...

87-89 mr2s are the only US cars that have 4agze... and that is 145 HP, not 170 HP, 170 HP is the ae101 JDM levin. and the ae92 levin has 165 HP. but those won't be smog legal, if that's an issue in your state... also, if your dad can get one, he's the man, cuz the USDM 4agze is a very very rare engine, and most of them get snapped up immediately by 85-89 MR2 owners.

nope, you don't have to get a new tranny, and the ae101 does not come standard with an LSD.

no, you can't use the 7afe ECU, but the 4agze engine will come with it's own wiring harness and ECU.

if you want a new tranny, you can use the 4agze one, again, JDM engines usually come with a tranny as well... you really should get a clip, that's so you will have all the necessary parts.

nope to the suspension, not required.

YES! you should get an aftermarket fuel pump if you can't get the 4agze one, the 7afe one won't cut it.

your best solution is to get a JDM ae101 or ae92 levin clip. that will have everything you need.
