what other swaps to do on a 99 corolla

Would 4AG motor swap be good to do in a 99 corolla rather than swapping in a celica motor to boost?

I think the 2ZZ would be the best bet. Leave it N/A, just build up the head and you'd be good to go.

hmm yeah but I will not get the power I want from a NA motor. NA is just way too expensive to mod when boosting something is so much cheaper with better results. I could boost the motor after lowering the compression with a headgasket and make my power goal. I was looking at the 4AG motor though and it looks like thats a good motor to boost and is solid with the close to the same stock hp, and is much cheaper than a celica motor.

There are more parts available with the 4AG, but I don't think the motor mounts would match up considering the manifolds are on different sides

Ah very true, you are right about that. Hmm me thinks I should stay with the 1zz and turbo it for now and do the 6speed 2zz trans swap.

Won't work. Bellhousings are different.

Then why did the guy on the other thread say it did?

wat?

I've always been told they dont' match.

yeah i dont know maybe i miss read, but it looks like he said they did. It would make for a great turbo tranny.

im pretty sure they wont match up...

don't do the NA 4ag, but do the super charged version 4agze. the only thing you will need to think about is how registration of the car will work. i know in california the motor has to come from the same year or newer to be legal.

The 5-speed in the 1ZZ-FE and the 6-speed with the 2ZZ-GE are interchangeable - the bellhousings are the same - same fitment between the ZZ-series of engines. I'm pretty sure Newcelica and MR2 forums have also verified this - just do a quick search there - tons-o-info. I have a C59 5-speed and C60 6-speed downstairs, getting rebuilt, and the bellhousings look idenitcal to me.

If you go the 4AGE route - then the bellhousings will not match up. You can still make it work - swap the bellhousing from an A-series transaxle to the C60 6-speed or make your own adapter plate. Or source an A-series engine w/6-speed trans.

Cool, sounds good. I think I will stick with the 1zz, the C60 trans, and boost it for now.

Double check the ratios on the 6-speed though and the final drive, depending on the powerband on the engine being built, might get better results with another transaxle. Doesn't mean that the 6-speed is a bad choice - it is fairly tough and gives good results in some boosted applications (7th gen Celicas GTS for example). But some have been eating the syncros in them easily - so shifting quality is something that could be improved. As far as I know - Toyota did modifiy the later 5-speeds with atleast new redesigned syncros for smoother, quicker shifitng - not sure if the 6-speeds have seen that same treatment yet.

We shall see if i can pick one up for cheap. I see your in NOVA area. Where at im in Springfield.

I'm in Ashburn. Work in DC - so it is a heck of a commute - but the housing situation is more "relaxed, cleaner" way out here.

The 6-speeds are hit or miss. I've seen some go for as low as $600 - some as much as $1600 - ballpark is about $1000ish for a lower mileage example.

The one I'm working rebuilding might be a paperweight - looks like the it got jammed up inside, because the transaxle case looks like it has hairline cracks everywhere. Can't tell if they are casting mark artifacts or if the case is actually cracked - doesn't leak oil, but that doesn't mean everything is fine either.

Yeah that is a heck of a drive. I work in Alexandria so I don't have much of a commute to work and I go to school at Mason. Yeah I will see about the 6speed C60, I want to eventually do a GTS swap if the or I should said, when, the 1zz blows. Well see. Im just working on suspension right now and finishing it up. This will be a spring project. I just want to gather the right info.

this shop(MP motorsports) my bro goes they did a 4age 20v into a hyundai he wasnt sure what car was it,its either older accent or elantra,the motor mount was custom by MP and everything fit like a gloves.so go to your local shop that could make a custom motor mount for the 8th gen to fit the 20v.

ive heard the 4AGE motors bolt right up with relative ease

and if you wanted to, you could dig up a 4AGZE and use the S/C or ditch it for a turbo setup
