So im still a little confused on what all is involved when swapping the wiring from the 7a to the 4age.
The wiring harness has to be extended and some parts of the 7a tied into it correct? Just confused on what all is involved in the task, if someone could clear this up for me it would be greatly appreciated -------------------- 1996 Toyota Celica Project Mean Green

It wouldn't be that much more difficult to swap a BEAMS into an ST. Just need a few little things. But the issue that I see is cost. The 20V can be had for a lot less than a BEAMS. It seems like in all the posts I've read, the 4A will actually cost you power on the low end over the 7A. The 7A will pull harder from a stop. But as far as options go, you have the 7A-FTE, which will mean a full rebuild of your engine plus all the added items for the turbo build. Then you have the 4A series engines, the 4A-GZE being the best, of course. But I don't really see how you can go wrong with a Silvertop over the 7A. Yes, you may have to rev it hard to get any power, but you have to do that with an S2000 as well, and people never complain about that. Besides, quite frankly, you have to rev the 7A as hard as you can and it never rewards you with more power like the 4A-GE will.
There are pros and cons to the swap, obviously. Cons being less low end power, pros are more top end power and cost/ease to swap as opposed to the 3S's you could get. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
