What to do?

Captain Flex · 04-10-2009, 07:54 PM

I need to figure out which swap would be the easiest where I wouldn't have to do a bunch of extra stuff.
I have an 87 Mr2 wit the 4age in it.
Just wondering if it would be easier to do a 4agze swap or one of the 20v swaps?

Well, here's a quick rundown of things that need to be changed:
4age->4agze with NA tranny: Wiring only
4age->4agze with SC tranny: Shift cables, axles, front and rear mounts, wiring
4age->20v with NA tranny: Wiring, cooling plumbing, exhaust (extent depends on manifold used), alternator from 16v
4age->20v with C56 tranny: Wiring, cooling plumbing, exhaust, shift linkage modification, alternator from 16v

There may be a couple things that I'm forgetting, but the easiest is probably the 4age->4agze with the stock NA tranny.

Alright, cool.

Can anyone point me in the right directions for some good 4agze swap writeups?

If you get the afm 4agze from another mr2 it just plugs in and everything works fine except the SC light on the dash but you can rig that up easy enough. The better MAP 4agze out of the GTZ levins requires wiring but I don't know of any sites offhand.
