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? |

According to - http://www.cars-directory.net/specs/toyota...ca/1996_6/5742/ - our 1996 ST202 SS-III (Gen 3 3S-GE, Manual) should weigh - Curb vehicle weight, kg 1210. According to google that would be in imperial measurement - 1210 kilograms = 2667.59337 pounds
The reality is, based on having it actually weighed (none of this generous factory figure crap) it is really 1485kgs Once again in imperial measurement thats - 1485 kilograms = 3273.86459 pounds So in my view, That's a heavy car for something that calls itself a sports car with simply just a 2 liter NA engine. -But- then again, I've never owned an American car before (fk that, high performance jap imports 4 life) so I don't really know what heavy is? I'm done. Gone way O/T with this so by all means have fun swapping a 1600cc into a Celica GT. Just answer me this, if you're too poor to afford the petrol to run a larger engine, how do you afford a new engine in the 1st place? -------------------- Mike W
