20v blacktop is actually what my first choice would be for a swap. I hear they're difficult to come by though, so a silver top would probably be a more likely candidate. One of these days I'm gonna do it. It would be such an awesome project and learning experience for me. (but then again I said that about my power window conversion, for which I'm still having no luck with!)

I'm not sure what you mean, that happens to me all the time....

The blacktops aren't HARD to come by, they're just more expensive. You can get them in 6-speed though

Yes Yes! To Tweak you listen!
I still say 4A-GZE because of parts availability and because I love me some boost the most and I really really want to twin charge one!

Well of COURSE I'm gonna listen to Tweak. He hasn't steered me wrong yet!

6 speed, huh? That is worth whatever extra money it would cost. That would SO be worth it. It should already be a 6 speed IMO, it's actually one of the biggest complaints I have about my car to date is the gear ratios.

My complaint aswell. Especially the fact that the GT has tighter ratios compared to ours. They make more power, they should get the wider gearing , STs should come standard with super-close rally transmissions.

The blacktop 3sge is so freakin rare, you can't even get info for that thing. From what i've seen so far though, it's a good motor. But I guess since i've owned a 2zz celica.. I'm addicted to Lift haha

They're not hard to tune at all. If you've got a Blacktop it'll run open ITB's all day because the MAP sensor is tapped into the throttle body just before the butterfly valve. It pulls accurate readings without any problems. Silvertop uses AFM, so that is a pain, unless you get BT electronics and convert to MAP. I know the local Toyota place in Washington has adapter plates with the lines already tapped to make it all pain-free, but it's pricey.

And the 2ZZ might br faster, but just because it's faster doesn't mean it's better. ITB's have this note to them that sounds so beefy. You can hear each cylinder firing off in the low RPM's. You don't get that from any other setup.

You know what? You're right, it probably is easy to tune (if you have a blacktop). But in all honesty when I think of the 20V I always think of the Silvertop. Sometimes I even forget the Blacktop exists. The Blacktop always seems unattainable to me so I don't even consider it as a swap in my Celica especially since I will never have the money to get one AND if I did I'd rather have an AE111.

But when it comes to engines without an ITB setup already, I hear its a HUGE pain in the ass. (or a good time, if you're someone who likes to tweak **** )

well the main reason i asked this is because i was comparing engines.

like the 2zzge apears to be toyota's solution for the All motor fans.

But there doesn't seem like there is support for them.
I would say the 2zzge competitor is the B18c5 engine ( integra type R).

But when you look more into it, the B18c5 gets more upgrades and other mods that can make it push out more hp. While the 2zzge seem stuck.

Next step would to be "choose a different engine"

Black top beams 2 liter 3sge. ~210 hp

Again honda puts out the 2.1 liter f22c, a new engine with more uptoday technology making 237hp.

it seems hopeless (or atleast not cost efficent) to get a rev happy toyota engine.....

GriffGirl

#43

So not to jack the thread, sorry if it's a thread jack but it's related which is why I'm asking...

What engine/engine configuration would be the most efficient swap for a 7A then? By efficient I mean most HP and good gas mileage. Would it be a straight 20v swap, or would that even be necessary? Would a 7AGE be a better configuration? Or would adding turbo to a 7A be the best of both worlds, (theoretically) only blowing your gas mileage when booooooosting {to get laid}?

simple,
20 valve 4a-ge
2zzge

The 2zz-ge is the best toyota n/a 4 cylinder produced. Yes the beams 3sge has more power on paper, but the 2zz makes similar if not more whp. plus it is better designed all around. If someone is going to argue with this, please include technical reasoning because i'm tired of seeing dry reasons.

3M

Haha in all seriousness everybody is right, however the thread is not going to go anywhere unless we throw new ideas out.

So I nominate the Yamaha tuned 3M from the Toyota 2000 GT as the best n/a Toyota engine ever.

Aside from that, Formula Atlantic 4A-GE, JGTC 4A-GE 20V, 2ZZ-GE and the Beams 3S-GE

If we're talking about any size of engine, then I would have to say that the 2GR-FSE out of the IS350 is probably the best n/a engine built by Toyota, the power they make is pretty impressive....

If we're talking 4-cylinders only, then yeah, I'd probably opt for a blacktop BEAMS if I had my choice. Seems like with a standalone and some good mods it would be able to push out some good power.

I realize this part of the discussion is over, but I found this a little bit funny:

Something tells me that you don't have any problems getting laid

Anyways a 20v blacktop would be my first recommendation, it's simple, clean, gets good mileage, and makes great power.

That was a reference to someone's signature on here (don't remember whose) that says "Boost gets you laid". I just think it's funny... like some chick is gonna be like Oh, I didn't know you had a turbo! Well in THAT case...

20v blacktop is actually what my first choice would be for a swap. I hear they're difficult to come by though, so a silver top would probably be a more likely candidate.
