Power were rated from 130-210hp with up to 162ft•lbs of torque at a given rpm. Higher power ratings depended on the generation of that motor.

A 4A-GE With ECU From An AE86 Toyota Levin

You can always buy a spare 4A-GE for an awesome 200PS NA build. The 4A-GE can be found in the 5th/6th gen Toyota Corolla.  The 4A-GE was a DOHC oversquared  1.6(1,587) aluminum/iron block piston motor. The motor came from Toyota’s very own A power train.

Unfortunately some of these motors are not a true drop in. All the electronics/ECU are different. Some motors such as the newer versions of the 3S-GE BEAMS, are very challenging. All the proper equipment from the donated car including a suitable or modified transmission is needed for a successful swap. These swaps requires a lot of customization including customed motor mounts, suspension, custumed high proformance axles, shifter, fuel system, cooling system, A/C/power steering, intake/exhaust, suspension/brakes, and tires. 

Once again aftermarket is large for these motors. These motors can also be rebuilt to handle force induction as well. Turbo or supercharged applications may require upgraded injectors, upgraded ECU, a blot on or customed built manfold, fuel pump, and boost controller. Rotrex has a C Series supercharger that can run with these motors. Every motor and transmission has a weakness. It is very important to address your motor and transmission for weaknesses before modifying them. 

Many customed or blot on parts can be found via importperformanceparts, monkeywrenchracing, turbokits, ptuning, DDperformance, Greddy, HKS Superchargers, driveshaftshop, gatorracingaxles, Boefab, car-part, Votech Superchargers, Rotrex, Tork Motorsports, r9ktune, or maxpeedrods. Prices can always be compared for the likings.
