Ticking sound Options

[Jaytwou2]

I also am having the same noise on my 7afe... Its quiets down a little after oil changes but not completely. It also has 210k on so i figured the motors soon at the end of its time and soon its time for a rebuild due to lack of being maintained properly by previous owners

[Amanda66]

the noise, is it coming from the top of the engine (the head) or from the lower block? Mine make noise from the block cause it has a bad rod bearing in it.

its coming from the top i believe..everyone keeps telling me its my lifters...are they hard to fix?

ya mine has 200k+ on it as well I know it shouldn't be rod knock though because it's been making this noise for almost a year and I know it's stupid but I still rape on it pretty much everywhere I go. Figure if it pops it pops but it hasn't but I'm getting tired of hearing this noise now. So I just want to know what would be the quickest, easiest way to fix this...

Ticking sound... You need to get that car to a deserted area before it blows!

I'm thinking its an internal engine noise... Best thing I would do is tear it down for a rebuild

I was kinda thinking of building a 2.2 motor for now and boosting it....what do you think?

That's not a bad idea at all! There are some nice horsepower numbers in the forced induction dyno sticky on oem boosted 5sfe's! There is a little bit of work you have to do to fit an S series engine into a A series car but it has been done before and you can also find that on here in the stickys! I am rebuilding a 5s as of right now and also thinking of boosting it when I get some miles on the fresh engine

Ever thought about throwing in a 4age silvertop in? It will drop right in your car... They are cheap... And you get alot more power then what your 7afe has now! You just wont have as much fun as you will have with the 5sfe boosted setup! But youll have your car back in full effect with more power and less $$$ spent!

keep in mind, hp isnt everything. what gets you going? torque. all turbo setups work well because its added torque not just hp. the 4a's were designed for corrolas, meaning a lighter car. most people who do 4a swaps do it for the endless upgrading and a high rev platform to work with. others who do it and leave it regret it. it literally is slower then a 7a in a 6gc. drove a friends car will one and it wouldnt go unless it was up at 6k.

Hmm that's good to know. I have a friend who is determined to do a 1uz or yz something like that in the car...is that possible?

Only if you make it a rear wheel drive. The 1uz is a 4 liter V8, I once took the measurements to fit one to the existing FWD transmission, and determined it would be 12 inches wider than the engine bay and would most likely drag on the ground under the car. It has been swapped into a celica as a Rear Wheel Drive though.

The 1mz-fe will fit of course, its a 3.0 liter V6. You would have to swap in a GT transmission and motormounts though, as it shares the same bolt patterns as the 5SFE and 3SGTE

In my honest opinon... I dont see the point in the 1uz swap! All in all it depends what you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend. I recommended the 4a being that its a cheap/feasible/direct drop in swap. Now if you want performance and also daily drivability i would say 3sgte all the way!
