6G Celicas Forums

Hello fellow 6gener's!

So its been months since i last posted anything. And its been a year since my car has been running.
My apologies cuz i've been lazy and i havent really put any thoughts on her. But today i decided to to see if i the wiring that Dr.Tweak made for me works.

Yesterday i plugged in all the wires i could and then to the battery. Nothing happened. I didnt have much light as the sun came down so i stopped for the day. Today i got back under the hood. Grounded the proper wires and placed in the battery. the "Brake" light goes on! YaY! first sign of life! After some testing i ran into some prolems.

1) the windshield wiper works only when i hold down the high beam.

i got back under the hood and found that some grounds were not secured down properly.
fixed that then got back in the car. almost all electricals work. Although the fans automatically turn on when i place the key in. but i was told that that isnt much of a problem.

So yes! im back on to finishing this damned swap.


if you dont already know. we are talking about a 4agze from a aw11(mr2 89) and puting it into a 94 celica st.

Its one of the most dificult swaps ever. Dont do it unless you have a lot of patience and have an experienced mecanic that can undo the mistakes. But theres a corolla tech thats going to be helping me, and he says it may be easier than people make it to be. so will see what happens in the next few months.

hey do you know how difficult it is to put the 4AGZE/4AGE head on a 7AFE? problems, costs, etc.

Congrats on coming back to the project. I was a bit upset when I saw that you were thinking of dropping the project. I've been keeping an eye on your project for a while. I WANNA SEE THIS THING RUN!!! Don't give up bro, I'm not the only ST owner waiting to see the most powerful factory A-Series motor running in a Celica. Keep doing your thing and keep us updated. Goodluck.

Good thing nobody bought your car

ah so u keeping the car now?

bboy

congrats on the progress, i remember when you first started with this swap. What happened to the guy that was suppose to install it for you?

he left. no other word. no god bye.


still not sure what to do at this point, but finishing the swap seems to be the only right thing to do.

i'l keep u guys updated.

This swap sounds intersting!
Good Luck on finishing it. Can't wait for the end results!
