Since sarah now has her coupe, its in good working order, but its sooo gutless. Theres barely any torque and it just feels like it doesnt wanna go fast. So sarah has been asking me about different engine swaps we could do for a reasonable price that would give her car some more balls. So of course i listed the usual suspects, 4AGZE, 20V 4AGE, turboing her car....but then i got to thinkin...what about a 4E-FTE?? One of my friends i used to work with at a canadian tire did a 4E-FTE swap into a 4door trecel and that thing flew, and a buddy of mine used one of the CT9 turbos on his geo and has tons of parts for the turbos laying around. Has any one tried this swap?/do you think it would have enough power to actually feel it in our cars? I mean, its a 1.3L inline 4 with a small turbo, but do you think it would give the car a bit more of a kick??

The money would definately be better spent on a more potent engine (3SGTE, 3SGE, 4AGE, 1MZFE) and even in stock form those swaps will be alot quicker and more satisfying than a modified 4EFTE.
Does Sarah have a 5spd or a Auto in her coupe? If she had a low mileage engine with 5spd, turbo may not be a bad idea either. -------------------- 3rd gen ST205 3SGTE - Alive and boosting. |
