Need to make the final decision soon cause I have prices on all three types of engines and winter is almost here. I have to choose but since I already decided to go with the 4a series engine I'm having trouble choosing which one. They all have aspects that I like. Just need alittle nudge in one direction. Post why you would choose it and hopefully some one will strike a nerve and help. I know all the horse power/torque stats just need the humanistic reasons. Like, more low end torque or better top end or just a well rounded engine. Got a couple weeks to make a final choice. Piggy banks open, ready for those two cents...

I say avoid the 4agze because I would prefer to pop on a turbo later. A SC puts so much strain on the engine its hard to say how much trouble you may have with a 4agze. Also the difference between the 4agze and 4age last time I looked is around 700? *this is fuzzy I forget* for that price you would be nicly on your way to a nice turbo! Last issue I can think of is, fear the insurance if you get the 4agze >> Good luck man hard choice.

I voted for the black top, but that's not what I would personally do.

A while back I posted about getting an old MR-2's 4agze (89 model).

For about 3k, you would have a turbocharged, re-built 4agze with propper pistons and HKS head internal parts. We figured you could boost it to about 20 PSI and be good to go.

If you start cheap, you can get expensive parts to make it better. But if you start expensive,,,

Just my .02

I read on one of the 4AGE sites that it can be boosted to 10 psi w/o any engine build up. With that it should still last and not blow. You can build it up and handle at least 20 psi. Even w/ the 4AGZE if you want to turbo ur gonna have to build up the engine. Like it was said before a turbo is much harder on an engine than a supercharger.

I voted 4agze...

But i'd be cautious... it hasnt been completed yet.... So be very choosy... maybe by the time u decide to swap either john or me, or someone else will be done.... It can be done... mechanically anyway. Wiring shouldnt be too bad... Just waiting for Mike to come through for me.... he's got quite a mess to deal w/

isn't their more aftermarket stuff for the 4age 16v? I was looking at TOMs stuff, plus individual throttle bodies.

Ya, John I'm definitly leaning on the z. I was going to Pm you when I bought it to get the down low on some sourcing. Have you looked at the Nevo UD pulleys? Still got a week to make up my mind. Keep posting though cause nothings set in stone yet.

You might want to talk to Coomer before you start. He's been going through hell with his swap and he might have some advice for you
