94's 1.6? Options

[shubert_ae102]

sup guys , im new to the forum , however i dont have a celica , but a 94 corolla . from what i understand , the 94 celica st shared motors with its cousin the corolla in the same year , 4afe right? i think so .

anyway , seems every one in the corolla community is spinnin there wheels tryin to figure out how to do the infamous 3sgte swap into the corolla. i seen some celica's that bared the 1.6 sporting this swap . i know its not a bolt in replacement , nor a plug and play engine . also in this months turbo and high performance magazine , theres an editor telling a kid the this will be a strait bolt in swap. ???? somebody shed some light for me . is it or isnt it? i know that i will need the 3sgte out of an mr2 , cause the alltrac tranny is useless here in the states , considering the only thing alltrac was the 91 corolla wagon and it bears a complete different transfer case and tranny. i know i can also use the e153 double syncrinizer 5-speed out of the rare v-6 camry. what about the motor mounts ? you guys know of anywhere or anyone that might make a mount relocation or altering kit? also did the power steering , a/c , and cooling system suffice with the st's exhisting 1.6 setup? such as a/c working w/o freezing up , power steering hoses and pressures fitting the rack and pinion? and also the radiator being an efficient cooling for the 3sgte?

last thing , any body on here have a st with a 4agze swap ? you guys would be amazed at how many parts the corolla and celica share on the chassis 94 and earlier.

thanks in advanced for your help.

i know i can get tweak to do the harness , i know that the 3s will fit into the engine bay , just wondering how some of you celica guys go about doin it to the st's that were never meant for the s series. tweak quoted me $8000 for a turnkey swap , but thats a bit much . ill will probably go with the gze , considering the 20v's were never offered here in the states and sourcing replacement parts would be a headache. i have also seen the hks twin charge system for the gze's , says can put down around 350 ft-lb. torque when tuned properly.

jdg 371 says: "for the corollato have 3sgte , mount modification , and cut and weld will be neccasary."

is this true for the celica st's as well?
