20v ITBS to 16v, or 20v Swap

[canadianae92]

I'm wondering what would be more worth it in the end the 20v ITBS onto my 16v or 20vSwap.

Is the 20v swap expensive or hard? Is their lots of difficulties?

Will the stock 4ag's transmission work with the 20v?

Would it just be better to use the 20vs trans?

Also are the Itb velocity stack things dangerous to your engine, what would you have to watch out for?

What else do I need other than the Engine trans and ecu?

I decided to stay n/a for my engine and I'd like ITBs with velocity stacks(I think thats what you call em, the little bells sticking out the ITBs)

well for AE92 im not sure if u have to make room for the coils....
your stock 16v tranny will fit the 20v motor... but it'll b alot more fun if u do the 6speed tranny swap.... also i "think" u need to get a new altonator, harnest, & dizzy... check with itchy on the forums.. he has a BT 20V in his AE92.... so i think he would know best...
sorry i dun remember his user name but im sure some1 inhere will b ableto fill that in for me... good luck with everything

Thanks, the coils or velocity stacks or whatever(I think thats right? Is that what you ment?) will fit theres quita bit of room, also I've seen some that kinda bend upwards and around towards the front of the engine(towards the exhaust side) for fwd.

16V head is easier and cheaper to mod, and then slap on the ITB's.

[canadianae92]

That is true, the 20v parts are expensive an not many companies in north america make parts for em so those jdm parts take bites out of your wallet.

The 6spd tranny only runs with the Blacktop 20V ECU, so I guess Blacktop swap it is if you want a 6spd.

As for running ITBs on a 16V motor.. you do realize you will need an aftermarket system to manage it. $$$$$

And Ichi, you're looking for TRDragoon.

[canadianae92]

Yea I know what it involves 20v to 16v adaptor the actually itbs off a 20v and a aftermarket ecu. Performance isn't cheap.........

considering they can be from $1000 to $2000.. yeah I guess that's cheap.

[Flashmn]

Megasquirt is around 200 bucks ready made.

[canadianae92]

Wow cheap, is it a full ecu or a piggy back? Is it good?

[Flashmn]

Full ecu, well... it works, some have made some better and more developed variants of it. Its basically a DIY Ecu for people who dont want to dish out 1000's of dollars for a brand name one. Its gotten to be a big hit here in finland.

[canadianae92]

How do you program a ecu? and I guess theres lots of wiring to be done?
