1993 toyota tercel engine swap, with a JDM honda motor

[ckyhim630]

i have a 1993 toyota tercel and its got the 1.5l, 12 valve, SOHC, engine code: 3E-E.
i was thinking about gettin either the JDM honda B16A g1, or the B18B g1, or the D15B, does anyone know if this is possible?

[Dr Tweak]

No.

But you do have some other options: http://www.phoenixtuning.com/

[ckyhim630]

is it just that you'd have a hard time matching the axel up without doin come structural cutting or what?

[ckyhim630]

will the 4age 20v fit in a 93 tercel? or just the 4age 16v or neither?

[dexter_5000]

anything can fit with enough money

[ckyhim630]

will the 4aeg 10v. fit with little modification?

[Dr Tweak]

Woah, easy there bud. The 4AGE will fit with custom mounts, either the 20v or 16v will work.

As far as how to fit a Honda engine in there, I don't know for sure. But it would be safe to assume that you will need custom mounts, custom axles, have some wiring trouble, and possibly have to do some structual cutting and reinforcement. Then of course you have to ask if you want the a/c or power steering to work, and that's extra trouble. Other than that, yeah, it could work.

will a header from a 4A-ge 16 v. fit onthe 4A-ge 20 v.?

[Dr Tweak]

Yeap.

[ckyhim630]

what car would these motors come stock in so i can find headers, and ECU chips and things of that nature

[Dr Tweak]

The 4AGE? They are found in the US in the '83-'90 Corolla GTS, and in in the Mk1 MR2, and in the JDM Corolla Levin all through the '90s.

[ckyhim630]

if im usin my stock transmission for the 4AGE motor, all i would need to do is have someone do some custom fitting right?

[Dr Tweak]

Fitting for what? The engine mounts? Yes.

[ckyhim630]

will the motor bold right on the tranny is what im asking

[Dr Tweak]

Use the 4AGE tranny.
