um, all 4agze's have the 'mr2 sc' which is just an SC12. However, the previas s/c's are actually larger (sc14). The mr2's also actually have the lowest power 4agze that was available.

its a ae92 not a ae86 so the extra torqe for drifting is not an option
if it is the ae86 i would say the sc one cause of the torqe and on lower rpms
IMO i would just go for whatever engine you can get you lil paws on.

ok, run that by me again??? From what i've seen most drift cars are setup for higher revving applications or turbo applications (which is more of a high rev application than a supercharger, obviously). Mainly because you have more control of the car if you stay in gear and have a long rpm band to play around in (don't need to worry about weight shifts as much when shifting gears....)
Also.... really, the 20V isn't all that much better than the 16V's.... dynos have shown that the silvertop really only produces about 10whp more than a silvertop or a good running bigport..... add on the ITB's and larger cams (because both 20V's came with cams larger than any of the 16V's) and you'll easily reach that extra 10hp figure.
Now.... i'm going to give you my real answer to this question....
What do you want to do with the car?
Around the town driving, getting on the freeway fast, occasional auto-x events -
the 4agze is great for this. you can easily out accelerate MANY cars on the road, which helps if needing to maneuver through traffic or whatnot. The power is there for auto-x events, however there is almost too much power for short runs - ie you lose time because you have to brake more.
Gas mileage, fun car, great handling, lots of auto-x and some/lots of road course -
Either a tuned smallport 16V or a 20V. The tranny you *should* use on the gze is quite heavy, and so is the s/c setup - the car loses a lot of its 'nimbleness'. Having a high revving motor that runs & runs & runs and never overheats is great on and off the track. You will also get better gas mileage with this setup. The motors are well balanced and have good power proportion through the band (ie, it isn't all that jumpy) and help with good smooth acceleration - which is what you want for a great handling car.
1/4 mile -
ae101 4agze, stripped of it's supercharger parts.... larger cams, n/a intake manifold, a large turbo, E series tranny, and a fuel/ignition setup to support it all.
Maybe I'll even let him drive it.
