1) you can't post pics from an email attachment lol

2) The 4age is not a common swap on the 8th gen, so no info

3) engine swaps are definitely a do-as-you-go thing, so there is never really possible an online DIY

4) Welcome back!!!!

These pics are hawwwwt:




(they don't work bro).

It is almost a direct swap, save for the heater hoses (LHD vs. RHD). It came in the AE111 (E110 chassis + 1 for hot A series motor = E111) and you have a ZZE110 (E110 chassis + 0 for a standard zz series motor = E110).

The easiest thing to do is get a half cut, (available on eBay generally) because it will come with all of the A series specific engine bay accessories (reservoirs, etc....). Make sure you get an uncut wiring harness.

Obviously you will want to get a C156 6 speed LSD trans with your half cut (don't choose an auto one). Even if you have a manual in your car right now, it will not be a good match with the 4AGE 20V. That type of engine needs a close ratio six, as opposed to a tall ratio 5.

I'll do a step-by-step for you:

1. Pull engine&trans from your Corolla
2. Pull engine&trans from your half cut
   1. Do a compression and leakdown test. If all good, replace all of the oil seals in the engine at a minimum.
   2. If results are bad, rebuild time.
3. Inspect engine bay accessories
4. Remove those that are incompatible with the A series engine.
5. Replace with donors from half cut.
6. Inspect wiring harness; identify body plugs. There are two sets of these plugs on the harness:
   1. Engine bay side; for things like starter relay, AC idle up, PS idle up, etc....
   2. Interior side; these are the plugs that are not the ECU plugs and provide signals to your dashboard and other onboard computers.
7. Find pinouts for all of these body plugs, and label each pin with the Toyota signal abbreviation (VTA, THM, OX, etc....)
8. Find the pinouts for the same body plugs on your ZZE110 harness and do the same thing with them.
9. Cut the connectors off each harness and play mix and match. The idea at the end here, is you have ZZ body plugs (engine bay and interior) on your A series engine harness and you can literally plug and play the harness.
10. The signals will probably NOT be a 100% match. There might be something like two oil alerts on the A series harness, pressure and oil level. There might be only one oil alert available on the ZZ body; choose which signal you want to illuminate that light. This is probably not the case, but just an example common to 1JZ swaps going into 7M-GTE USDM Supras.
11. Install new engine and trans with properly modified harness into your ZZ engine bay that has the correct engine bay accessories for you A series engine.
    1. I think it would be easier to do this with the trans attached to the engine.
12. Fluid up, Crank that beezie.

Like a huge cali boss right there

No, I just did it cold in the forum text editor like a true boss.

Cali bosses also do at least 85 wpm

^^^ why did you like cbass's post lol

To offset all the roasting you guys are doing on LINE.

Too bad cbass never returns the favor. Just goes to show that it really isn't roasting.

Well James ALSO reps you online. LIKE A BOSS

Awww, you guys are talking about me~

That's because you're a boss, and we actually met in person.

It's true! I hope you were impressed that I spotted your old bumper immediately! Because I'm very proud of that.

lol, you might have noticed that guy before I did! Too bad he's smashed it to pieces so many times
