Re: Silvertop swap into 1985 SR5 Tercel A/T?
Thanks guys. I may just sell off the '85 SR5 6-Speed M/T and the Silvertop. Then I'll just rebuild the stock engine and Tranny and add headers and Webers. That will get me to 80HP and that's all I'll need here in Santa Fe at 7k feet altitude.

Silvertop swap into 1985 SR5 Tercel A/T?
So I have the Silvertop ready to go, and instead of making a custom flywheel to make the new engine with the new 6-speed tranny, I am just gonna bolt it up to the rebuilt stock 3-speed automatic tranny. This combo should fit together without the need of a modified flywheel. Is this True? I will use ...

Re: Supercharged MR2 Motor into a '85 SR5 AWD Tercel?
Sounds like I will just drop the rebuilt stock 6speed in her, beefed up as much as I can and use the Silvertop as is. It will jump my HP 100 over stock. That will be enough to greatly improve the stock sluggish performance of the stock 58 hp motor. That is all I really wanted in the first place; a r...

Re: Engine swap for '85 SR5
What do you mean by the t4wd tranny? is that the stock 3 speed auto or the 6-spd manual?

Re: Supercharged MR2 Motor into a '85 SR5 AWD Tercel?
I got the SR5 for $400 and the motor and tranny are shot. I just wanted to swap in the highest performing engine I can. I have bought a 6-speed tranny and a 160hp Silvertop motor from JDM. I planned to rebuild the tranny and go through the motor; add some good head work, cam, engine kit, headers... ...

Re: Engine swap for '85 SR5
The ports are spread out differently on the 20V Silvertop motor than the 4V 4AGE motors. I would have to make a custom intake manifold. If I use the stock individual throttle bodies that came with the motor all I need is a DFI system and use all the stock components and it adjusts to altitude and te...

Supercharged MR2 Motor into a '85 SR5 AWD Tercel?
Can I drop a 4FZE MR2 supercharger engine into my car, and keeping the AWD setup I already have? That would be cool! I know I would have to machine the flywheel and add a stand alone EFI system. Is this swap the same otherwise as any 4AGE swap? Also, Which tranny can I use in this application to max...

Re: Engine swap for '85 SR5
welcome to the list Godspeed, The easiest thing to do is have the 3a six bolt flywheel modified. Over on the 4age swap thread there is a lot of details about it. You need to find a welding shop that knows how to weld cast iron (they heat it up to a dull red glow and than weld in 4 bolts holes), tha...

Re: Engine swap for '85 SR5
Thanks guys. I will find the 3A flywheel and mod it to the 8 bolt pattern of the new motor. I have a stand alone EFI system that has all the pumps, lines, harness... to work with the new engine. Prolly just go NA with the 6 speed, as my 3 speed auto is wasted too. Ill mod the Hood if needed. Thanks ...

Engine swap for '85 SR5
I bought a hard to find 6-speed tranny for my 3-spd automatic 1985 Tercel SR5. I also got a 4 AGE Silver Top engine, as I was told any 4 AGE motor would bolt in. However, I found that the engine does not bolt directly up to the tranny as the 8 bolt flywheel on the silver top is too large to fit insi...

Re: '85 Tercel AWD 6 Speed Manual Transmission
Yes, I have found the 6-Speed tranny from the same year car. Apparently it was a rare option, as there was only 2 tranny's in the country. I also bought a 4AGE 20V engine to bolt up to the new tranny, as I was told any 4AGE will bolt up to any '85 Tercel (Auto or Manual). What should I use for induc...
