the reason i say it isn't worth it..... the 4a-gze will drop right into the stock motor mounts with a 7a-fe.... and if need be, you can even use the same c52 tranny (good up to about 200hp)..... but the ae101/late ae92 e51 tranny with lsd would suffice
now... for the price..... a 3s-gte (if you pick up a low mileage one) costs more for just the motor than i've seen for several map based 4agze HALF CUTS... which is everything you could need plus more (and when you get the body panels, just re-sell them and make some of the money back). Plus you don't have any worry of custom parts. now yes... the 3s-gte is much more potent and a much stronger engine. but with that, it is heavier, and with more power (and just FWD) you're going to have a lot of wheel hop (unless you're driving on slicks all day) whenever you try to accelerate quickly. And with the light weight of these cars, it doesn't take much to get them going. plus the gze is just about as versatile as the 3s-gte is for upgrades.... there are even several twincharged ones out there..... so, IMO a 3s-gte from a 7a-fe isn't worth it.... |
