7A-FE Engine Options

[Smaay]

you will use YOUR MAP sensor, your sensors, your manifolds.

Really?? Who would of thought of using the sensor's that go with the ecu? Especially the one's that don't match? ....People are getting smart :0 Haha anyways.... Who know's if I can pull the ecu from the corolla and use it as a back up? Or what the difference is between the map sensors? And what else is different between the 2 cars? Am I going to have to eliminate any sensors that may be on the corolla? Do I need to wire in any sensors that didn't come on the celica? And please, if you have no useful information, don't post. I'd rather not read a bunch of ****. Isn't this a tech forum? And yeah I know i could go through an fsm and figure this out all on my own....not hard. But then what would be the point in this site? :-) -thanks

The problem is, the answer is right in front of you. On this thread.

But instead, you choose to thread jack, and then proceed to come back with a **** attitude.

Figure it out

Edit:

For the sake of being a "tech forum" which I don't believe this sites main and only purpose is to help ignorant people.

Switch your block, keep everything else as it has been stated before. Obviouslly keeping anything that is identical.

Sorry, i didn't mean to thread jack. But i'm sure this topic could use more information than what's here. Why would i waste money on gaskets to swap things that don't need to be swapped? i.e. throttle body, intake manifold, egr, injectors, fuel pressure regulaor, valve cover etc... Does that make sense? Can anyone post the differences between the 2 cars/engine's? Any useful information before this thread get clustered with arguments?

Edit- And i'm going to try using the block, and head, so basically complete engine minus sensor's and vacuum lines and other small things. This way i don't have to do new head gasket and make this alot more complicated swap.

Also the current engine is blowing out alot of oil. Going through about 1 qt every 500 miles. I don't know if it's the piston rings that are going bad or the valves. In either case I'd much rather do a quick swap instead of spending weeks or months building the current engine and finding oversized bearings and boring and honing and all that fun stuff.

My 7A used to do the same exact thing. Then one day, it just kind of... stopped. I still can't explain it, but my oil level stays where it should and doesn't drastically go down extremely fast anymore. I don't know whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, but she runs just fine.

So you don't have problems found in this thread.

My 7a also eats oil like its candy, but is also leaking so I can't really determine which is eatting it faster. Meh runs great, just bleeds like a stuff pig....but this is also why i have a 3s otw =p

GL, but no one is going to have a comprehensive list of each engines diffrences. You are going to have to swap'em out, and compare them side by side, or switch just the block as said.

I think the OP wanted to know what pieces would have to be transferred from block or head to another block or head. Being from obd I to obd II or vise versa. Well having information of differences between obd I and obd II as well as differences between 2 obd II 7afe's sounds good to add into this thread to ME. Thank you for the good input, and when I do this swap I will try to add some more information that I find. As for the oil leak it's coming through the engine, it's done it for a while and progressively getting worse, so I don't think it's going to just go away and even if it does i'd much rather have an engine that doesn't do that and hasn't done that. My head was gone through about 120k miles ago and the bottom end has 273k miles on it. I think it is time for another one. Eventually i'll be getting rid of everything and turning this into an "all-trac" celica with a suby ej25 (?) platform. I know it'll be alot of work and alot of torching, welding, drilling, wiring, etc. So knowing as much about this car as i can is kinda useful. But back on topic i'll see if i can find the differences and get pictures and post them. Thanks again.

Sounds good, thanks for working with me. I apologize if i was a bit harsh before.

Seeing a list would be quite helpful to some. Most likely the reason we do not have a list of that sort, is there are so many changes between years, and majority of 7a don't die early enough to put another 7a in, most just drop a 3s in there, or another 7a from a celica.

[vagina]

It's all good. I see where you were coming from. And the more information, the better. So i'll get up what i can with the 7a swap.

[TerBeau]

fyi. if your using an obd1 to an obd2 make sure you also change your oil pump and pully. the obd1 oil pump has no spot for a crank position sensor andhas the wrong pully . obd1 uses a cam positioning sensor and obd2 uses a crank position sensor. you need to get a 96+ pump. and dont forget to swap your distributer ) good luck buddy!!
