Swapp for my AE92

[downshiftartist]

I am looking at swapping a motor into my ae92. its a sedan, DX, with a 5 speed. what are the suggestions as to which motors to run? how much would it cost? thanks in advnced

Any A series motor will swap right in. You could throw in a 2nd gen 4AG bigport/smallport, 4AGZ (supercharged), the JDM 20valve 4AG (silver or blacktop), or a 7AFwich can be converted to the 7AG hybrid (4AG head & pistons in the 7AF block, makes for a good stroker motor if you have the time and money to work on it).

I swear every newb we get asks this on a daily basis... we're gonna have to sticky them eventually.

well, i was looking around and i found a donor car. there is a T'boned 91 MR2 with the 3sgte still fully intact and the guy himself has a 4agze tranny, the only thing missing is the bellhousing. for the motor and tranny, im looking at about $1,300, but the motor was just rebuilt. any ideas on price range? this is the limiting factor...installation. i am inclined, but not inclined enough to install it myself. any idea of price? cause, that too, is a limitiing factor.

3SGTE is gonna be tricky. Figuring you'll have to find a FWD tranny (most likely out of a 4th gen Celica GT-S, the MR2 trannies have the shift cable on the opposite side and you can't use an A series tranny without an adapter of some kind) and you'll have to fabricate mounts for everything. Only A series engines are direct bolt-on so you're looking at it being alot more exspensive then a normal swap.

The GZE tranny won't bolt on to the 3SGTE.. your best bet would be getting a 3SGE transmission from a Celica.. I'm feeling dejavu for some reason right now. anyways.. the 3SGTE is a possible swap, but if you don't have the experience, the right parts, or even some friends who do.. it will be very expensive, as you will have to get a lot of parts fabricated.

3s might bolt up to a -gze transmission. I know that they are internally the same MTX.

if you use a 3sgte bellhousing the E51 from an s/c mr2 will bolt up to the motor..... the turbo mr2's came with an E series tranny as well

you can drill through where the linkages go into the transmission and swap FWD (this is common for mr2 owners who want the e58 or c160's from FWD setups) linkages to work with your car

the passenger side (motormount) will be tricky along with piping.....

haha i know thats right bro, my cousin says he can beat me with his 92 civic hatchback with a b16a2 swap and my ae101 with a 4age 20v with custom turbo setup. i don't think i can win thought after all he does have vtec at least thats what he said.

j/k

The b16a2 del sol motor is a p.o.s. and in no way can compare to a 20v 4age motor especially if u turbo the 20v engine. And to be clear vtec is variable timing electronically controlled which toyota invented and perfected long before honda.As anyone knows the toyota 20 valve vvt(variable valve timing) was produced a few years earlier than hondas crummy vtec. Someone needs to do their research.
