so everything will jus bolt straight in? i know ill havta change the cpu now and the exhaust and stuff but wasnt quite sure on the engine mounts. im hoping it will b all good cuz atm the engine in the car is wasted makes major knockin sounds even changed the bottum end bearings and i think the small in screwed up the new 1s even more.

Yup its easy as, wiring would be the only headache. But if you get the complete loom and omputer its easy.

bolt on engine since it has the same family code "A". get an engine with complete tranny, wiring harness, ECU and AFM so you won't have any problems swapping.

it's also best to have your pipings resized to 2 3/8" to make the engine breathe better. swapping in a free-flow muff and resonator would help harness the power of the engine.

Yea doing a full exhaust would be good but its not a necessity. also you can just reuse your gearbox/flywheel and clutch, they bolt up no problem.

Alright cheers for that guys. looking at getting a engine imported now jus to help me sleep at night buying a engine off someone with no warranty or nething u neva know wat cud happen in a couple thousand ks. looking at wat type of engine i shud get the importers can get me ne toyota engine and they know all of the engines that fit im really looking to make it turboed wat wud b the best engine to import? atm they sed the silver top wud b best option alot more sterdy but the black top alot more rare and alot more expensive but ive only heard they bout 50 hp faster. wat u guys think?

If your looking to turbo go with the silvertop, it has much stronger rods, If your going n/a I would go with the blacktop.

The silvertop is the best value for money, just to give you an idea of price I bought a complete motor with 80,000km on it with a full loom ECU and AFM for $NZ500. So they're nice and cheap.

alright well im thinkin supercharged 4agze imported didnt tell me the price on it but the silver top imported was 1grand. reakon u cud find me a silver top for about the same price round same mileage id buy it straight off ya. or i cud jus go supecharged.

The supercharged ones tend to go for $1500+ which is way overpriced.

You can get brand new GZE pistons for $600ish, if you fit those piston to a silvertop you have a motor that will make more power than a GZE, and will work out cheaper too.

Have a look around this site, heaps of info there if you search.
