4a-gze swap, need to clear some things up Options

[DustyBurns30]

i did a search and have been trying to find info on what goes wrong when people try to swap a 4a engine into their celi's. it said in the feasible swap sticky that there is some problem when you use the 4a tranny and then i read about something going wrong with the power steering pump. does anyone know what exactly the problem is? coomer and mynzeyes, you guys are the ones with the experience, i'm particularly interested in your input.

btw, i know this topic has been discussed a lot, but there is no real clear cut info on it, so if anyone knows where i can find some please let me know.

thanks

You can just either PS pump so long as you custom run the proper lines I believe. Depending on which motor you have... the C52 might not fit. It will fit the older AFM 4AGZ's but probably not the later higher comp map versions. I believe those have slightly larger flywheels (220mm I believe as opposed to 212mm) and might not line up correctly with the C52... hence the tranny change in the late model AE92 and AE101. It's also a known problem with the T50 tranny in the AE86's case (with the tranny and housings not lining up). Most people just ditch the PS... although it's a pain in the arse... it's the easy way out. The way I'd do it... use the one from the 4AGZ and run custom lines. Should work...
