I'm KM over at CelicaTech.
Recently bought my first 6th gen for a whole $500. I'm definitely not new to Celicas, as this is my fourth one. I've owned three 5th gens: a GTS, a GT, and a 4age20v ST. The engine bay's a nightmare, and I'm pretty sure I'm missing stuff, but I've got a 104k mile ST coupe with a 30k mile 7AFE (so no EGR valve). Other than a handful of engine bay issues, the interior's perfect with black and red faux-leather seats and black plastics. Just figured I'd actually sign up instead of lurking to find answers.

Sounds like a good pickup! Since you're familiar with the 20v 4A-GE, why not swap one into your 6th gen? It'll solve your engine bay nightmares

Just a personal preference, but I don't want a 20v in a 6th gen coupe.
My realistic dream build involves a 6th gen hatch, a 20v blacktop head, a 7a block, and a turbo. |

I'm a bit of a smaller dog over here KM. I tried changing my screen name over here a while back but apparently my request got ignored. You would sooner know me as "MCcelica" than whats over on the left of this page. I can't really object until my project is finished, but once that happens I won't have any green on my yota.

PM'd, Hector. Back on topic, OP, I read your thread on fixing the engine bay up. You're making some good progress! Be sure to post some pics of the car up!

I keep trying to persuade people to swap, but nobody wants to do it. No offense or anything, but to me (and its just my opinion) that is a waste of a 20v...that could be doing a corolla chassis REAL GOOD, only does a FWD celi a little good...I feel like there are swaps that don't even cost much more that have proven more effective for FWD. I mean, you have to put the effing thing in sideways just to get it to work!!!

You do know you can buy a Blacktop 20V already with a 6 speed LSD manual gear box, right! JDM Engine Depot in NJ has them from time to time.
