any one thought about a 4E-FTE swap?? Options

[Valo666]

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??

If she shifts at lower RPMS and doesnt want to Rev the engine to redline.. the GZE v 20V is the best comparison..

Top end power? or Bottom end Grunt?

Silvertop is the cheap 20V route and the Blacktop is the nicer one. I believe they rate it at 165hp. The USDM 4AGZE from the MR2 can net a pretty good ammount of power. Especially a refreshed one. In [ ae92gts.com ] they group of guys rebuilt then GZE and netted 170whp. Impressive especially from the USDM GZE. For straight power with out rebuilt. Go with the AE111 GZE Its from the Levin GTZ. Rated at 165 as well. Its potent and I believe it will net more than.. 110whp like the ST.

Ive talked to one of the people that tried the GZE swap [Myneyzes] how ever you spell his name... he should be able to give you some info about it.
