just like the topic says, i think this would be a very good little thread, just to give some insight for the newbs and dreamers as to what the swappers have done, what they went through, and how it's workin out to this day. feel free to add any info you wish, mainly the car type before, the new motor type, info about your personal swap (as all swaps are NOT created equal), a time frame, general cost, how is the performance, are you happy w/ it, etc... . let's see how big this list can get. .

edit: btw, only post if you are DONE and driving the car. that's what i'm lookin for.

real fast reply on my end... seeing how i don't have a celica (but should perk the ST guys up a bit)....

1990 corolla SR5.... originally powered by 4a-fe..... GTS c52 transmission swapped out for the old c50 a good year 1/2 ago....

this past few weeks we swapped the 4a-fe out for a JDM smallport (non t-vis) redtop 4a-ge.....

running a tuned 4a-fe ecu and 4a-fe wiring, with aftarmarket MSD ignition/coil, Sard FPR, I/H/E (intake yes... remember, 4a-fe doesn't have AFM... running the 4a-ge Map sensored)....

around $1600 for everything, including motor, header, full exhaust, flywheel, adjustable FPR, fluids etc.....

redlines at 7700rpm's, 70mph in 2nd gear..... MUCH quicker than the 4a-fe... took 2 1/2 weekends (no work during the week itself).... will dyno this weekend, and possibly race (on or off track) coomer when he gets his celica with silvertop swap back
