Currently have the Celica Rally A2W intercooler and St205 pump for sale. Intercooler is modified to recieve 2.5 inch piping on inlet and outlet. They are both in great shape and the pump has very low mileage when I got it and I put about 3k miles on it since I have had it. Asking 350obo shipped for both... Please email me at Mr2swift@aol.com if interested. Thanks, Ron |

Ok it has been sometime that I have really been apart of this forum but more and more this forum reminds me of how the Mr2 message boards started and you guys are trully evolving and learning well from each other . I especially like to see the 4agze in cars because it is my favorite and is what I covet. So much so I have developed an upgraded s/c kit for the 4agze capable of getting us over the 300whp hump on stock internals! It is also adjustable and will bolt on a 7agze as well. Ron |

Since you are on the East Coast it makes better since to use Jarco. Just make sure you get compression on all four before you buy. Motors Unlimited has two in stock but since we are in California I think the price would work out to be about the same and my two are not in PRESTINE condition which is what I prefer to send out of state.

Nik those are enormous numbers! What type of boost level do you expect to see those power levels at and at what rpm? Can't wait to see those numbers as 7ag forced induced dyno plots are not widespread. Great effort indeed! Ron |

QUOTE(presure2 @ Apr 27, 2006 - 1:16 PM) [snapback]427141[/snapback] thats not too shabby at all ron. looks like there is quite a bit of tuning left to do in it also. i dont know anything about the "A" series, so dont mind the dumb ? but why start the runs so late? is she set up to be a "screamer"? gotta love a torque "line".. its not even a curve..lol The dyno operator is constantly starting my dyno kind of late. Next dyno will surely have the session start earlier in the rpm range. Yes I think I have a bit more tuning to do especially since I backed the timing down up top to 18 degrees. I have heard many running 23-28 degrees up top with no detonation. Of course every engine is different, but I feel I have some room to play with timing and fuel wise. I wanted to make a Twincrew kit for the 5sfe as well and still have the mock up engine, but it seemed as if people would rather opt for the 3sgte swap so I scrapped the project. Amazing torque output your 5sfe is making by the way. Ron |

whats the specs on the 7agze and whats it going into? corrola ,mr2, celica? 7agze in an Mr2 with stock US 4agze pistons, stock rods cryogened & modified to full floating, 7afe stock head gasket, large port 4agze head and manifold. I know the stockers are thin, but I have been waiting to see how week they really are if they are so week. 200rwhp has been proven to last so 250rwhp is about the limits I am willing to push them to. Oh and the blower is rated at 400hp which is nice. Here is my last dyno untuned. I hope to get to the dyno by the end of the week or next week to get it tuned. The 4agze is a beast with the Twinscrew and this is with the smaller unit so the Bigger Blower and 7agze should be a real nice combo. Ron |

You guys make some good points but don't forget about the Twinscrew supercharger. I like to call it the supercharger and turbo. Gives you supercharger power down low and turbo power up high. Here is a dyno plot at 14psi on a stock internal small port 4agze. We have a bigger blower fitted to a 7agze that we will dyno soon. Ron |

[quote=K-ESD,Oct 29, 2005 - 4:45 AM] IMO, for that price, i'd rather get a 96-99 with a slightly better looking front end and most importantly PROJECTORS !! Make no mistake, the TRUE value will never be projectors or body paneling. The cleaner and lower mileage of the engine, the better for the person who ends up with it as a projector and bumper can be replaced no problem. Secondly, the brakes are of the HIGHEST value in Japan and Europe. I am Certain no one has sold there front clip with brakes. They are the first thing missing even before the engine. So with body paneling, brakes, A2W intercooler with undamaged heat exchanger (hard to find), All lights, Rear differential and rear shaft, with Prestine condition engine with Perfect compression across the board and free shipping. It would be much easier to sell everything seperate for more profit which is what EVERY importer does. Thought it would be interesting to offer everything. I think I will not bring them in as complete as It does cost a pretty coin to bring them in like this and makes for more work. I am shocked that there is way more interest from Europe to purchase everything while here in the states everyone wants to me to seperate parts. Really would like to see someone get everything as a whole, but I think for the future I will bring them in less complete to save on costs. |

Brakes alone are about a 800-1k dollar setup. Brakes are always sold seperately hence the 4 to 4500 dollar range. Keep in mind the price is shipped as well. |

Im with defgeph, you should be just fine with the stock Gt trans and a hybrid clutch. The trick is do not slam it in gear speed shifting at redline all the time as that will wear it out rather quick. Have fun, but take it easy. There are many 250+ to the wheel hp/tq daily drivers using n/a transaxles. Its not the toughest but if you take it easy it will do just fine. Mr2 93 plus Lsd trans would be the best route in my opinion but not a MUST have. Ron |

I have had a few people ask me to start posting to the forums when St205 or St185's pop up. Well I have one of each in stock. St205 is VERY complete with no damage to the front heat exchanger. Front bumper and hood are in good shape but no fenders. St185 has no body parts and it also has undamaged front heat exchanger. Both front clips include EVERYTHING needed to convert your non turbo Celica to Jdm turbo. Shipping anywhere in the US including Hawaii. Please give us a call if you have questions as I do not frequent these forums often. Thank you Ron (951) 283-3778 Motors Unlimited |

QUOTE(94ST2 @ Feb 9, 2005 - 8:03 AM) I have a 94 ST and im thinking about doing the 4agze swap this summer I have a question though does the transmission for the 4agze mount in easily or are you just gonna bolt it to your stock transmission which I dont think will handle the sc boost very well. [right][snapback]243814[/snapback][/right] Stock trans should handle just fine as long as you do not abuse it everytime you shift. Remember, Ray halls 20valve 7agte ran and to my knowledge is still running the N/a Mr2 trans rated at 112hp! Just depends on how aggressive you get on it. As for the tranny bolting on with all motor mounts included in the swap is a grey area. My experience with Toyota says yes, but the question is what combo will need to be used. Example is do you need to use the 4agze trans mount or the 7afe trans mount. Will you need to use the 4agze trans mount bracket or the 7afe bracket and with the bracket you choose, will you use the ze trans mount with it or the 7a trans mount? This is the area in which one will have to give feedback during a swap so that we can all get a clear understanding of the right combonation in case it does not line up when installed. Being that it is an A series engine I believe there will be no major issues as I have yet to see major issues while transplanting any A or S series configuration with its chassis counterpart. For example when doing a 4agze swap on an 85-86 mr2, the 4agze trans will not clear the suspension unless you use the 85-86 trans mount bracket. On the 87-89 it works just fine. What we have found with the A series and S series is it is really close if not right on and to get it right on, the right combonation may need to be utilized. Kind of like you need to use the Gt motor mounts in an St to get the 3sgte and drive train to work. Hope that make since. Ron (951) 283-3778 Motors Unlimited |

QUOTE(blaque_6thGen @ Feb 9, 2005 - 11:55 AM) hey, thanks guys. In the midst of what seems like your bickering, i'm learning a lot. Despite the fact that i think that both of you have great arguments, I still think that I want to go with the 3s for quality of reputation and hp. I'm not afraid to sacrifice the compromise (som extra dinero) to make this car be what it could potentially be. The 3s-gte is an originall from the celica (just a GT-4) and thats kinda how I imagined it...plus, I like the turbo. On that thought, I hear that there is a now turbo in the process of being designed for the 3s. With the oppotunities that the 3s presents me it seems to be the better choice although, if I didn't have the income (my job pays me well) the 4a sounds like the top choice for my dollar. I just don't want to regret anything after I bought and installed an engine and found out that if i waited another two months I could have gotten a "better" one. [right][snapback]243838[/snapback][/right] 3sgte will yeild the greater gains for certain. Here is something everyone should know about the 2nd gen 3sgte from the Celica. It is now very hard to bring in a good conition 2nd gen Celica. There are more 2nd gen Mr2's available which gives one a better chance of getting a 2nd gen 3sgte in better shape. But the bottom line is you are looking at an engine that almost NEVER will come into the states on stock boost. MOST 3sgte's in the Celica have ran more then stock boost and are now 12-15 years old. Folks, that equals not alot of Prestine 2nd gen Celicas going around and from what I have seen ALOT of Celica clips and engines coming in from the states are just beat to crap physically. Now that does not meant it will not have good compression, but it is wise to completely recondition the 2nd gen 3sgte from the Celica. It is very possible to come across a low mileage clean one, but they are becoming harder and harder to bring in in this fashion. Ae101 4agze's are made from 92-96 and interesting enough most will come in on stock boost as most have not overspin the blower resulting in the condition of the engine not run as hard as the boosted 3sgte. This is a fact folks and I would love to debate it if anyone wishes to. Bottom line in my opinion is either go 3rd gen 3sgte or deal with a reputable importer if they offer you a 2nd gen 3sgte as it is hard to find them in good shape. Remember, drifting and road racing is the norm in Japan and therefor Celicas get road raced pretty good. Ron If I get a 2nd gen 3sgte in desirable shape I will let the list know. Thanks |

Well for starters I did not try and sell anyone in this thread anything. In fact, I have not had a 4agze front clip in stock for sometime now. I have had a few ask if I had it available but I have not had any in for sometime so when you say I am here to make a sell is very misleading. In fact, I have had probably 5 times more 3sgte front and rear clips then 4agze front and rear clips. As for wiring, you are going to rewire NO MATTER WHAT you swap into your celica unless its a replacement engine. With that said, 2nd gen 3sgte's will have a different wire scheme then a 3rd gen 3sgte. In fact, unless you get a 3rd gen 3sgte, then your wiring will be noticably different on a 6th gen Celica. There are schematics at several different web pages for the 4agze. You can get them from club 4ag, Mr2 message boards, and heck I have a diagram as well so I am a bit confused when you say there are no diagrams. I have no quarell, but when you said whoever told you to go 4agze doesn't know wtf they are talking about and to get advise from someone else leads me to believe you might not know what you are talking about and therfore you are negating options for the St owners. Here is a quick break down for the St owners as I know it. If you are going to go with a 3sgte, the 7afe transmission is questionable in my opinion. Jumping about 100ftlbs+ torque might not last to long. Now I want to stress that it is up to the driver as you can pound the heck out of the stock trans with the stock motor and blow it and therfore you will be that much closer to failure on a higher output engine like the 3sgte so if you choose to keep your stock 7a trans just take it easy and you might never have any problems. With that said, I believe the consensus is to get the Lsd trans from an Mr2. Okay, well that is an additional 600-1k dollars added to the project not to mention you have to modify the shifter linkage because the Mr2 shifter linkage is on the opposite side. So now your 2500 dollar 3sgte project has just jumped to 3500 and we have not tackled parts to freshen your engine up. The 4agze is from a Corolla which is front engine mounted and therefor shifter linkage modification is non existant AND it comes with the front clip. Ease of bolting your engine and drivetrain up is the most important aspect all future swap owners should be looking for as you are going to rewire regardless. So to me, modification and or fabrication is what most novices like us are trying to avoid. If ones budget could not suffice a 3sgte then the 4agze is readily available for about 1k less after its all said and done. Its obvious the 3sgte has more potential for bigger hp numbers but not everyone likes turbo. Some people like s/ced cars and some people like to be different then you. With that said the 4agze/7agze option is a cheaper way to get toyota OEM forced induced power and if you want to modify the 4agze it is well equipped to handle it as long as you tune it properly if you are pushing ample ponies. Finally, you will rewire a 2nd gen 3sgte, 3rd gen 3sgte, 4age, and 4agze. The same number of wires will have to be interfaced with your existing efi to get it to start no matter what swap you choose. The beauty of Toyota is when you open up the Jdm ecu's EVERY SINGLE PIN IS MARKED! That means if you have a diagram of your ecu pinouts it makes interfacing that much easier. Not here to give you a hard time or to make a sell, as I am a Toyota enthusist who has and will always give back to the Toyota community and I love to talk Toyota swaps and just Toyota talk, don't you?

QUOTE(Supersprynt @ Feb 8, 2005 - 6:08 PM) Whoever told you to "just go 4agze" doesnt kno wtf they're talking about I suggest never taking advice from him again. [right][snapback]243445[/snapback][/right] I have told a few people to go the 4agze route as it is a BOLT ON for the St model owners and they also do not have to modify the tranny to get it to work. Not to mention the trans has Lsd. In addition the 4agze can be easily modified and is reasonably priced. I would love to run my 4agze against your 3sgte, or better yet, lets see your dyno plots and I will show you mine and then compare the price of the swap. I'm quite confident with the ability of the 4agze and the real beauty is the st owers can also go 7agze or 7agte in the blink of an eye. Finally, you should not use such language or make comments if you are not 100% for sure that you know what you are talking about. Ron |

QUOTE(Kwanza26 @ Feb 7, 2005 - 8:06 AM) Gotta consider shipping when you're buying from ebay... and there is very very little protection if you get a bad engine. That will only cost more money. And being a "swapped" guy DMC... you should also know basic labor such as gaskets, belts, seals, clutch, water pump, etc... should also be done because of the relatively unknown conditions of used engines. That itself can be costly. No-one ever really mentions anything about that step... and I hope it's being done. Take it from me... basic engine replacement in a AE86 corolla gts... engine costed 300.00 out the door, was totally refreshed with all new seals and gaskets for about 100.00, another 100.00 for a clutch kit, 40.00 for a waterpump, basic tune-up stuff for 80.00, totalling a little over 600.00. That's just to prep the engine. If you cannot do the swap yourself... add in another 4-5 hours of labor at 60-100 dollars per hour depending on locale and shop just to drop in the engine... and then who knows how much for wiring... anywhere from 400-1000 dollars and trust me... you'll find you need stuff that you're not gonna have and then you'll have to buy it, order it, wait, and pay more money. [right][snapback]242867[/snapback][/right] That is a darn good point, and I have noticed throught my short membership here that you make very good points. You do not just want to throw an engine in without freshing it up a bit. However there are a few and I mean a few exceptions to the rule and that is a super low mileage late model engine like a 3rd gen 3sgte. Even though it has super low mileage it is still highly advisable to at minimum change the clutch. |
