Swap harness question, 7afe to 4age Options

[njccmd2002]

4A Swaps sound cool and all, but really, what are the gains? spend all that money for not much gain, in the long run youll be dissapointed, might as well go trade your st for a GT, and there u go. Swapped.

No heading u for a beams swap, but why not a V6. they are becoming more popular if u dont want to hassle with a turbo.

heck, dont the 7a trannies bolt to the newer celica engines/ (maybe im wrong). Well may be a lot of fab...

anyways, do something that in the long run youll learn to appreciate, and not get aggravated..

You guys are looking at this like he wants to swap for power reasons. He HAS to rebuild his current engine, and isnt the 6gc moto"if it breaks upgrade it?" Hes not looking for power, hes looking to have his car running strong, and if it would only be a few hundred more to get some more power, then why not?

two things..

Whatever rocks your Boat!

Do it rite the first time!

Here is the thing, yes like i have said and suprakid has said the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced, and being a college student commuting over 60 miles a day having decent gas mileage and a reliable engine is a must, yes a 3s would be cool but then you have to put premium in it and get about 20mpg? I do enjoy beating the living hell out of the car on occasion, but it is a DD above all. I would like turbo but then again reliability issue, not saying the 3s has reliability issues but im just going for a swap for a good price that is going to serve me well untill i graduate in 3 years and get another DD, then maybe a 3sgte, but this just seems like a good idea for the time being

If those are your reasons then I'd say you're right for going with a 4A if it's price-competitive with just rebuilding your 7A; newer engine with a little more "oomph" for a bit more cost-wise than your 7A.

I'm in the same boat but I'm going to go with Dan's second recommendation; rebuilding my 5S and then turboing it next year if I don't buy another car.

Good luck either way and have fun!

I used to be so set on swapping in a 20V, but after reading this, I think I'm going with a BEAMS, which was my first choice. Mpg doesn't matter to me because I was only gonna swap in the motor when I can retire my Celica from DD duty. Until then, I was just gonna get the suspension nice and tight and keep the 7A running at least. Hell, since I won't be DD'ing it, I might as well buy a super cheap GT shell, stick the BEAMS in there, and transfer all the yummy goodies from my ST.

Good luck with whatever you go with, Kyle

I still plan to go with the 20 valve now, i actually found the wiring diagram today so thats off my list, just need to find one for the 7a now and figure out what wires need to be moved

Bump.... back on topic, does anyone know which wires need to be moved from each harness for this to work?
