humayun Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Can anyone tell me if a 7AFE engine from a Celica ST/SR (94-99) has been put into a starlet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carmen Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Can anyone tell me if a 7AFE engine from a Celica ST/SR (94-99) has been put into a starlet?Im sure a few months back there was a starlet for sale with a celica engine in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Not a 7afe no, the newer 2zzge engine from the 190hp gen 7 celica has been put in one tho. I could fit a 7afe in mine now if I wanted to as I have a 4age in it, and since its an 'a' series it should now bolt in.I dont see what you would achieve from a 7afe tho there what 130-40hp?? just 4efte it and you would have that power alot easier and cheaper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keri-WMS Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 If you can fit a 1.8 7A block, you can add the GE head and have a "1.8 4AGE" - worth doing if it's easy... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 a 7age would be awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 7age isn't worth the hassle from what I've gathered less revability of the 4age with slight torque gains, plus to do it propperly you need a porsche 922 cambelt or something like that and that puts the cam gears out slightly so then pulleys are needed. then an ecu is needed. stick a 20v bt 4age in it and have a 160hp and 120lbft ready and waiting with out any of the other hassles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulgtt Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 7afe has only got 115bhp anyway, wouldn't bother!the 3sge has around 170bhp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
humayun Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I only mentioned the 7AFE as they are cheap as chips and they look similar to 4EFE as far as appearance goes.I understand they R only 115bhp but for an everyday car im liking the thought of the increase in torque.

morgey Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Not worth the hassle tbh if your guna do it atleast as a minimum drop a 91 spec 4age in 130hp 115lbft. But apart from cost of the engine u may then just aswel put a 20v in 165hp 121lbft, all these would need the same amount of work to fit The 7afe would pull ok but you would get bored of it really quickly I would imagine lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snails ep91 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 the guy on here has a corolla that has fitted a 3sge in his. had a 4efte in it before.hes used a combination of mounts from other toyotas to fit.now surely if hes fitted a 3sge into what 4efte engine mounts also fit, then this would be possible right? please someone enlighten me as would be interesting prospect for people surely.sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
miib14 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I've got the 3sge corolla, it may not be possible to fit the engine as it would be a very tight squeeze into the starlet bay...i was using corolla mounts with the 4efte not starlet mounts...but if you want to know, i used a rav4 cambelt side mount and mix of corolla/celica mounts for the front, rear and gearbox side..

cherrye10 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i have a 5afe which i am swappnig in a few months time in my NP90. From what i heard, you only need to make minor adjustments like mountings. 5-and 7-a motors have the same bottom end I suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hou Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Not the most reliable engines either, they love to burn oil and most gen6 owners get rid and buy a GT as easier than repairing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Yourll need to cut chassis rails and mounts to get any 4-5-7a engine in. Along with driveshafts and custom wiring harnessThe only drop in engines are e series 4e 5e and probably 2e and 3e Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cherrye10 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 did some research on the subject.Came up with this. Not exactly what we are discussing but nonehteless an a-series engine swap where there originally was an e-series. http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/engine-transmission-powertrain/36740-engine-swap-2e-l-5a-fe-finally-done-2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 That's in a corolla, so no real modification is required, the mount is similar to ours so that's another way to look at it, but in a starlet the chassis rail will have to be cut one side or the other!That one even had the lower cradle bar for both front andrear gearbox mounts would just bolt up.

cherrye10 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 there were no pics of the whole car; and the interior is almost identical to an ep70. meanwhile, from same site, same engine in a smaller package. Note battery relocation. Paki mechs are damn good! http://www.pakwheels.com/forums/d-i-y-projects/206360-swapping-5a-fe-charade-86-a-4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 No but they say its a corolla, I'm assure you it is a wider floor plan, I've studied 'a' series swaps in ep's and you will have to do a bit of cutting somewhere. The only way you could possibly avoid it is to mount it 2" lower than mine which would make things incredibly close to the floor but you would still loose power steering. Or find a very stubby gearbox from somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 It would literally be dragging along the floor.....mines far too close as it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
