Well guys ive been saving my money up all winter for an engine swap and im getting close. I have saved up 1700 so im about 500 dollars short. I want to buy the sliver top engine but im not sure. I want something that ill be happy with as far as HP goes. Now im a novice driver with it come to driving fast cars. Im use to driving my slow 7afe around so I dont know what its like to be in or drive a fast car. The fastest car that I have driven was my sisters V6 MX3. My engine have over 200k miles and I know it will last a long time but I want something faster. Ive only heard one person complain about the performance of the sliver top. I orginally wanted a 4agze but after reading about it seems to be a real pain in the ass to manage but after reading about the sliver top I kinda like it. 5 valves per cylinder, individual throttle bodies seems pretty nice to me. I also plan to get upgraded pulleys and other things as well. Do you all think that I'll be happy with the sliver top? please give your honest opinion.

QUOTE(ILuvMyCelica95 @ Feb 15, 2006 - 11:36 AM) [snapback]394301[/snapback] not to hijack but would the 4age be more reliable for a DD that wants a HP increase? i mean the 7afe is just crazy slow. I was thinking about this swap as well, my engine is getting old, burning oil, and im not sure how much longer it's going to last. Besides the fact that I don't know all that much about cars and I don't think i would be able to maintain a 3s or the 4agze. Just figured i'd ask questions in here instead of starting another thread Sorry Drew. "i mean the 7afe is just crazy slow." Thats almost an understatement. Ur being too nice. lol |
