MR2 4A Adaptaion Options

[Taskbot]

How hard would it be to adapt a 4A-GE Bluetop from a MR-2 to fit in my celica? What parts would I need to fabricate or buy to make this easier.

The reason I ask is because I think I found a cheap ~$200-$400 4A-GE that I am probably going to rebuild/build up as a winter project and hopefully for spring next year, fit it into my Celica. I know the MR-2's engine has the same orientation as the AE92 and such but I think the throttle/transmission linkage is reversed so before I buy anything I want to make sure I have everything I need to make this work.

Also, I was wondering if anyone has ever built-up a 4a and if there were any recommended internal mods to do while I rebuild the thing (Cams mostly), and if I had to use the old 4A-GE ECU or if I could use a stand-alone.

Consider rigging up a water line to the water pump because these motors have outlets located in odd positions. If you can get the radiator off an 91 GTS you are in good shape otherwise you will need to rig a lot of stuff that is in reverse on the motor itself vs the 7A. You can get away with mix and matching parts from the 7A and try to get it to work with the 4A.

I have an bluetop ECU for the MR2 if you need one, but this ecu has tvis. Also got the harness. Let me know if you need parts. Im basically putting a blue top into a AE92 running on a high compression ECU non-tvis. So far it starts and runs good need to test it out tho on the road.
