silvertop = boostable
blacktop(180hp i think)= NA monster
4agze is supercharged 160whp i believe

[jdg371]

I would go with a rebuilt 4AGZE and mated with a sc14 (Previa S/C) 12psi pulley and some type of fine tuning.. with that you should get around 220-230whp

im also seeing somthing about adding the 16valve head form the 4age to the 7afe...whats that about???? is it better than the swap

[j0e_p3t]

personally, i'd get the blacktop. but that's cuz this is my daily driver so i don't really wanna deal with the gas mileage and maintenance of a turbo-charged engine. plus its a pretty powerful na engine at 165 hp stock compared to our weak 110 hp. should have no problem taking on (some) ricer hondas.

ahh a 7AGE I believe those have a potential to get 130hp or so..
I saw a dyno sheet once.. and it produced 126whp

mmmmmm....doesnt really seem worth it to .........

If you end up turbo'n it youll achive a better HP since its a 1.8

THE HORSE POWER RATING WILL CHANGE DEPENDING ON WHAT 4AG HEAD/PISTONS YOU USE

SMALL PORT AE92/ETC HEAD
BIG PORT AE86/MR2/ETC HEAD
SLIVER 20V HEAD AE-101/ETC
BLACK 20V HEAD AE-111/ETC

IF YOU WANT TO STAY N/A AND GO 7AGE THAN I WOULD SAY GO SILVER TOP + PISTONS

IF YOU WANT TO GO 7AGTE THAN IMAO I WOULD GO BIG PORT WHICH HAS MORE SUPPORT FOR PARTS AND CHEAPER PRICE THAN 20V DO

OTHER WISE GO 4AGZE WHICH IS BUILT FOR BOOST AND SLAP A TURBO ON THERE
OR SILVER HEAD LOW BOOST (IF YOU NOT TOUCH THE INTERNALS)

7AFTE, I'll be starting soon.

Prices and hp estimates for some of this stuff? I need more power from my ST but don't think i'll be getting the 3sgte swap.

I haven't starting buying but I've done most of my research. I'm looking at $1k for parts including a badass turbo (not big, just badass).

[Shocker]

alright thanks guys...ive got abuddy who will be wilkling to help me with the 4agze and says with some add ons and a bit of tweeking he can probably me get around 250 hp and maby run 7s in the 1/8 mile..which i will be happy with...and when i get more funds we can turbo it to get quuite a bit more.

[soulshadow]

I would stick with the 4A series that don't have VVT. Support is very expensive and rare to find for the models with VVT. Full race cams for the 4a ST runs up to 1K$ on Toda, and Pistons and stuff run high.
Most people who built there silvertops went back and relied on the 4agze engine for parts to boost high.

If your looking for boost go with the 4agze at least you can go to autozone and buy a water pump for it, but im not too sure on the swap part tho on the celica.
Its pretty cool to say that you got a supercharger on you celica!

[Shocker]

yea does any one here have a supercharged celica...........wow if not i would be the only one........amaizing a i can see it now...attention all a a 6gc first a supercharged celica by shocker...lol
then everyone would say not really cuase its from the corrola...
o well ...ill be happy..i am finding it to be kinda hard finding swap info on it for the celica..if any one could help with that... all i know is that it may be a small delay becuase of the wiring harness issue

[jdg371]

I think someone else did a GZE.. I believe they had alot of problems with wiring

[nik]

if you dont want to mess with 2 harness maybe go standalone

SDS seems like a good one for boosted applications

a 86 Supra with a 2JZGTE is using it here locally.. I think he has the SDS EFI something

im also using SDS on my on my 312 whp 7AGTE

ok.........ive got a freind thats assured me he can take care of this swap for me... seems to think he can get it going good...i guess i can trust him since he used to be with toyota and used to have a killer supra.. i might have to buy a digital camra just to take pics of the swap..im sure you guys and gals would like that.
