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

sweet, thanks for the info.

moderators, can we make this a sticky? this is the best info i have read about this swap and i'm sure this will help many people in there quest for a 4a. thanks again to kwanza, toyotaspeed, and 3fingers.

one last question though, do all the 4a-gze's use pretty much the same parts as far as stock replacement? what i mean is can i go to any parts store and find the little odds and ends that can't be replaced with performance parts or will i have to special order jdm parts?

thanks again.
