Rebuild it and turbocharge it. You'll have a 4A-GTE. :grin:

I think it would be a nice move to stick with that stock engine rebuilt and tune it.Im sure it will be long and probably hard but in the long run you will have one hell of a nice custum job that you can show off to people and probably kick alot of ass too. :smile:

GZE would be cost effective, yet you'll probably get bored and want more power like I do.

I can sell you a short block I have now...if you wanna Turbo charge...It already has the lower compression ratio bottom end with beefed up internals.

Let me know Felix

Here is a pge with some cool turbo info and stuff.. http://www.turbofast.com.au/GTseries.html

get a gze, turbo it, have fun.

no point in turboing a bluetop...no reinforced block, no oil squirters, no low comp pistons....although you could run a high comp w/ turbo and just use methanol....anywyas...

besides, gze ecu already has boost set....

Why get a 4A-GZE, yank off the supercharger, and turbo it? Kinda pointless to me.

Thats like yanking the turbo off a 3S-GTE or 2JZ-GTE then supercharging it.

got a question.. so it would be best to get the turbocharged one off an mr2?
I know that'll save LOTS of $$

oops i mean supercharged..

fatredcircle · 11-21-2001, 07:25 PM

guys, you get the gze because its already forced induced, therefore it already has the boost programmed into the ECU, and the internals on the GZE are a lot stonger toward boost.

Dacatz · 11-21-2001, 08:39 PM

u mean supercharge then turbo it?

goodcookiedrift · 11-21-2001, 09:55 PM

no. a gze comes with a supercharger. trash the supercharger and replace it with a turbo setup. 12lbs of turbo generates alot more hp than 12lbs or supercharge.

Ummm.. TWINCHARGE!!
Ok, so that would be expensive.
