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.

For the Celica it is much easier due to the fact that there were Celicas made with the S series engine.
