4AGZE Swap into a 6th Gen Celica Options

[Dr_Tweak]

Tuesday, July 25th, 4pm to 12am

Engine resealed with new timing belt, ready to go. In the background, the victim waits...



AHHHH! It's the black Celica of DEATH!!!



Remember kids, when swapping to a 4AGZE engine, you'll need the backing plate off the 7AFE engine. A new rear main seal is a must too!



New SPEC clutch installed and the tranny swapped over from the Celica. Yes, I know it's ugly, but around here we make things that go fast, not things that are pretty

well you posted kind of like "its been done and been done better" and that was a bit hating and the people saying the engine is ugly.. im just sayin.. this is a rare swap and we know tweak will do a good job, lets not clutter the thread up with heresay and cosmetic opinions

I'm just going to stop posting my stuff up. Pretty much every thread I've started recently has been hated on.

Answers to questions: My understanding has been that the only car the MAP/DLI version of the 4AGZE came in was the AE101, and this is the MAP/DLI version. I'm pretty sure that the AE92 had only the AFM version.

As for the transmission, the C52 tranny has been used in almost every Corolla swap that I can think of, and it's a very rugged transmission. I've never once heard of a 4AGZE breaking one. Considering the simplicity of swapping it over instead of making the E58 work, it's a very logical choice.

Also I've cleaned the engine up quite a bit and it looks a lot better now.
