7afe swaps Options

[FallenHero]

I have had quite a time trying to put together info on swapping a 4age motor into my ST. I am still a bit foggy about most everything so I figured I would start a topic to try to keep it all together. Now,,,,

The 4age and the 4agze will both drop into a ST like a 3sgte will drop into a GT. The question is, which engine is better. Also, I would hate to be laughed at about this, but I wonder if the 4age would shred my automatic transmission. The way it looks, I could be driving with a 4age for about $1500. How far off is that?

4AGZE came to the US in the form of the MKI MR2

also 200 at the crank can be achieved in a JDM 4AGZE with a simply pulley upgrade. ahh the wonders of forced induction.
