Can this motor go in my ST162 car?

The motor will, but the gearbox won't. The GT4 5-speed is a 4WD gearbox/diff. And you'd need to change the intercooler setup.
The motor will mate with your existing gearbox, but going by your other thread, your gearbox is stuffed.
May I suggest finding a import 3S-GE gearbox from the Jap Import Wreckers.. perhaps off a JDM ST184? This would combine well with the GT4 motor, but don't expect it to take really heavy abuse.

Huh yeah. You saw my other thread  Doesn't seem quite worth it yet. All the money I would spend I may be better off waiting and selling my current Celica for a GT-Four later.
Hey I appreciate your time in answering this anyway, I saw the ad and thought 'not bad...', but maybe just a little too much for now. Cheers
