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

um... the c52 is good for around 200hp.... so it will be fine..... if you want another c52 tranny don't get a celica or ae102 corolla tranny... find an ae92 gts (corolla) with the c52... it has a better final drive....

the tranny mounts for an e51 don't need to be custom made or anything... one i believe is slightly different but can be made to work..

check here... it's into an ae92... but a celica ST is pretty much the same:

and yes.... the 4a-ge's all use an 8 bolt pattern flywheel (4/7a-fe's DO NOT however... they use a 6 bolt)... you can use an ae86 or early model ae92 flywheel (which is what i'm doing on my smallport 4a-ge) w/o any problems and use the smaller clutch/pressure plate
