Engine 3sgte swap

3sgte swap

has anyone done a 3sgte swap? i am either gonna do a 2zz or a 3sgte or does anyone have a suggestion for a different motor

if you're not afraid of the cops, go with the 3s-gte. the 3s-gte definitely has more torque and power than the 2zz. trade-off is that you'll be getting someting like 20/26 mpg. the 2zz-ge i believe is possible but not as powerful as the 3s-gte.
one motor you can go with is the ae111 20v 4a-ge. should be easiest swap out of the rest. it's also 6 speed tranny. and ITB's!!!

do you know how much power a 4age has?

I think is like 180 or something like that for the 4age, the 4agze will give you LOTS of power since it's S/C. I'd say go with a 3sgte swap, that'll be something good. I was eventually going to do that on my 98 Corolla but wasn't able to come up with enough funds.

Took that from a thread posted on VVt-i.net which can be found here: http://vvt-i.net/forum/showthread.php?t=4673. There are a ton of threads on this subject on this board and at that one, so just search around.

im interested in the 4age caz its cheaper, seems more strait forward i dont know though you know if it needs custom engine mounts?

I'd say go with a 4AGZE.

You watch too much Initial D I guess.
The best 4age we can get is the 20v black top which is round 160hp or so.

But the law says you can't swap a engine which is older than your current one in your car. Oh well, lots of mod aren't street legel anyway so I guess no one really care.

Yeah, I think 4agze is better.

ummm dude wth is initial D?

PM DR.TWEAK on the other board or I believe it's JDlangevin on this board

4age by itself isn't worth the money IMO, unless you're going to do some more mods to it. I think the highest rated one has 160hp, but many people say that power output feels overrated.

The post of mine that Ninety Four quoted about sums it up

-Doc

initial d... prolly should look it up before asking these guys.. don't wantcha to feel embarassed... oOo got me dreamin of AE86's... why'd i sell mine?!

eh too lazy too. I asked a friend last night and turns out to be a cartoon show of cars and stuff so no I haven't seen it YET lol....... so have you decided on a motor yet?

I'm guessing you have a 7th gen corolla right? If that's the case yes go with those two. I was gonna do a 3sgte swap in my 8th gen dude, it would've been nice as hell but lots of coin. Just be prepared for a few things here and there you know, always have extra parts and defenetly bank.

still thinking its between the 4age and the 4agze though

yeah i actually have a 98 i used to have a 96 when i made this account thing so its kinda misleading but im not sure i want to get an engine swap now im having second thoughts about it ive been looking at turbo kits though but im gonna keep an open mind to both and wait and see which i like better and the whole issue with money and all that

well for the 1zz-fe it's got potential dude. With about 7 grand you'll get a good set up.

Hello,

As far as a swap.............3S-GTE all the way. We stuck one in our 98 back in 1998 and it was the best think we could have done. Its not an easy swap like the 4a and 2zz, but patiants will pay off.


ELP

Oh, I was thinking you had a 96. If you have a 98, neither the 4agze or the 3SGTE would be a direct swap, so the only factors really are how much money you want to spend and how much power you want to make.

As you said, you could always try a turbo on the stock motor, or build the stock motor to handle more boost.

ELP? WHA???? Where the hell have you been?

Isn't that the 600 hp Corolla that you guys built a while back?
