5AFE Check in if swapped. Official Thread 5AFE

[thousand_five]

I bought a 5AFE as a direct replacement for my new 1993 celi ST. The engine looks like it sat in the elements for a while but who cares because the current engine in the car has a snapped rod. I'm not concerned about performance with this engine. So if You've done the swap Check in as one of my resources. Thanks!!!

Detailed pictures coming soon!

I did a search and this is the best post I came across.

I've installed a 5A-FE in place of the 4A-FE about a year ago on my 92 Corolla DX. I thought there would be some noticeable loss in performance but it actually ran better than expected. The parts I had to use from the 4A-FE to get it to work are the following; Distributor, intake manifold with its support bracket, exhaust manifold, water pump inlet and a new o-ring, air conditioning compressor support bracket and finally I had to use a USD quarter size knockout from an old electrical box with JB Weld to seal the old EGR valve opening on the 5A-FE engine. The car runs great and with today's high gas prices , I barely use my F150 or the Expedition.

Please make sure the new engine has the fuel injectors located in the same fashion as the old engine. If the injectors are connected directly to the head then the replacement engine must be the same or the intake manifold won't work.

I hope this info helps.

Hi, I'm also thinking about swapping my 1.6 to a 1.5. Did you have to do anything with the computer? Did all the parts from you 1.6 fit your 1.5? Did it bolt in to the trany with no problems? How about to the engine mounts?

TIA,
Gilbert

I haven't started yet.... I will be stripping components off of the engine to prepare for the removal of old one. I'll post pictures later. I do have the new engine in the back of my dad's truck.

Swap finished....... Don't know how but $350.00 swapped the engines. My dad is being gay and selfish and won't even let me drive the car... I even paid and orchestraded what parts were needed for the swap. I give up working on cars with him.
