sourcing swappable engines for a ae92 - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Phreshnphunky · 04-12-2003, 05:19 PM

mainly within the Greater Vancouver area, but i will most likely look for an alternative engine for my sedan.

as it stands now, the car is likeable, and with the challenge of sourcing aftermarket parts, im most likely gonna do some work towards it to make it more enjoyable.

couple of questions.

1) what are some good engines that could and have been swapped into this car?

2) could anyone list some sites within Canada that import or sell salvaged good condition engines?

Aside from what i would like answered, anythign that you have to offer in terms of information would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

you got a few choices..

Low comp 4AGE
Hi comp 4AGE
Silvertop 20V 4AGE
Blacktop 20V 4AGE from newer Corollas.
Supercharged 4AGZE

Some people have also put 3SGTE's on their cars.. lots of work though. There's also 4AGE-7AFE hybrids (7AGE/GZE) and of course lots of work and $$$$.

also check your local engineshop, im pretty sure theres some of 4AGE layying around in vancouver.

remind you that when doing 4AGE swap, you also gotta do suspension swap too....so therefore, it'll be cheaper if you get the whole front clip.

maybe because im new to toyota's in general, but what specifac model would be applicable for a front clip purchase?

TRDragoon · 04-15-2003, 04:05 AM

well for front clip, you can use any AE92GTS front clip....you can;t really use rear suspension from AW-11 (MR2) ....the best bet, use the AE92GTS coupe front slip......

im not too aware of AE101 nor AE111 that it'll fit youre AE92 sedans.. they come with 20V silver/blacktop 4AGE.

but for the price, AE92GTS front will do you good!

prefferably 90~91(redtop engine-High Comp)

you actually can get full front clips of 92+ trueno/levin GTZ's with the 4a-gze....

owning a 20V in north america isn't the best of ideas because the parts support (oem and aftermarket) is near nothing since we never got this motor..... i would suggest a 16V 4a-ge smallport, or a 4a-gze

Phreshnphunky · 04-19-2003, 02:12 PM

till i come up with enough $$ to fix the suspension, i think ill put a hiatus on the engine swap for the time being.

but thanks for the info

RedruM · 04-19-2003, 03:13 PM

there are 3 4agze's for 900 each with everything

and

2 20V silver and one black top in the gta for 1200 with everything

sorry bro not much good to you but for anyone here and has $$$ to spend

Phreshnphunky · 04-19-2003, 03:18 PM

Where??? And what does everything include?

RedruM · 04-20-2003, 01:42 PM

Lucky star Japanese auto parts

everything includes: ecu, wire harness and for the 20V it also includes the tranny

no tranny with the S/C cause your stock tranny can handle it
