Hi i have a toyota celica 1.6 ST 4afe engine and it is just about out of its life but the car is rust free with 388,000 miles on the body and this was the second engine and i want to make this car alot quicker than it is i was thinking about swapping it with a 4age or 4agze and was wondering about a 3sgte i have heard some talk about fitting but motor mounts need to be redone and some other stuff. So i was wondering what other people have done and how much should i be looking to spend i have all the tools to do this but i need more info

stick with a 4a motor if you want it to be easy. Put a newer gen in perhaps. A 20v silvertop/blacktop would be unique or why not a 4agze from a mr2 or levin in japan. Easier then a 3s swap.

so if i were to put a black top 4age would i have a problem with anything fitting up to it like headers or exhaust. because that is what im going to most likely do then.

Yeah, you're going to have a problem putting more than one header on that car.

But i'd be more concerned with wiring, personally.

ok so i figure out that i am going to put a 4agze engine in it but yeah i will get the wire harrness diagram from my uncle for both the 4afe and the 4agze and then ill compare the pin out on it. oo and how hard to you think it would be to convert to rwd instead of fwd . just wondering if ya know.

I would just send the harnesses to Dr.Tweak. He will save you a lot of trouble. He even offers trouble shooting advice. He did my 4agze swap including the harness. Check him out at www.phoenixtuning.com

This is one of those questions that if you have to ask.......

You shouldn't attempt it.
