Hi there!
I'm sooo excited! I just read some info on the web about the last 4A-GE 20Valves built for some Corolla and thought this:

Is it possible swap a 4A-GE 20Valves (it doesn't matter if a Black or Silver top, the difference explained in the documents I read is not that much) into a Celica with the 6 speed manual gearbox made with some blacktop?

And secondly, is it possible and wise increase the displacement of the engine from 1.6l to 1.8l? If yes 'cause this doesn't give problems to the intake and this one is large enought to support 0.2l more, wich parts must be used? I mean, the only difference is the stroke so i need the 7A block or i can do that with something smaller?

^^^ GT Liftback: 2,580/2,640. That's dry weight. Add in all the fluids, and the weight goes up. Mine, with 3/4 of a tank of gas and my at 160 lbs, weighs 2,840. I had it weighed one day, that's how I know.

Back on topic for the thread, if the op isn't pulling a 5S out of the car but a 7A instead, the the 4A is the perfect candidate. I'm not sure about the whole 1.8 liter thing, not suer how that'll work out, but a 4A would be a drastic improvement. And with the 5S rated at 135 bhp, the 4A seems like an improvement over that to. Sheer numbers say so, anyway. I won't comment on the street driveability, since I've never driven anything with a 4A. The 4A is certainly lighter than the 5S, at any rate.

Curb weight includes all fluids and a full tank of gas, hence the term "curb" weight, i.e. the car is ready to be driven. Last time I checked any car around 2500 lbs or less is considered pretty dang light. The 8th gen civics weigh >3000 lbs, as do preludes from the late '90s.

To everyone saying the 4age doesn't belong in the "fat" 6th gen celica:
The curb weight of an AE86 corolla gt-s hatch is ~2300 lbs. The curb weight of an AT200 celica ST is 2415. The 4age should theoretically perform pretty decent in a 6g celica.

Also keep in mind that the 4age weighs significantly less than the 7afe, so the actual weight of a celica with a 4age swap should be around <2350 lbs.

The only reason the GT hatch is heavier than the ST hatch is because the 5sfe is a fat pig of an engine.
