I've been thinking really hard lately about doing a 4age 20V "blacktop" engine swap in my car(94' st). I'm really not sure if I wanna do it anymore. I say this because a friend of mine told me doing the swap is not worth it because yes, the "silvertop" comes 160 and the "blacktop" comes 165 but all that power will not be produced in our car cause its way heavier than the corolla it comes in(witch makes a lot of sense 2 me). So I just wanna know if anybody dynoed their car with one of these engines in their car. If so, how much whp does it produce in our cars. Even if nobody dynoed it, if u at least have an idea...it would be very helpful. Thanx guyz.

Yes, that's 200 pounds lighter than a Civic and lighter than a Corolla. Heck, the 1.6 might even make it slightly lighter. |

A new EMS, to get rid of the IAC valve, and intake plenum to run full Open throttles will provide more HP. Thats my nex project to run full ITB and I will provide dyno results if Coomer doesn't beat me to it. At the moment im working on my daily driver aside from the celi which rattles like a can. |
