20v experience? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Has anyone ever ridden/owned/driven/seen a 20v in action?

i'm curious to know about how that thing pulls...toyota rates it at 160ps but i read that it's more like 140hp in real life

even so, i'm sure that with the quad throttles and vvt it probably has a much more useable power band than the high comp 4ag and probably kills it on the high end

so any experiences anyone?

i rode in a 93 celica st (crappy states 4afe celica=st) and a guy had swapped in a 4age 20v black top and he did a full exaust setup and the car hauled ass and yes it had good high-end torque

I think with a nice turbo the 20v should haul some arse and still rev well.

It will, but it would have to be the silvertop, not the blacktop. The silvertop rev's less because it has heavier internals. The blacktop wouldnt be good for turboing because of the light internals, might not be able to withstand the added stress.

I am getting the silvertop so the internals should take upto 7lbs of boost before I need some new pistons.

the dyno posted by trueno sprinter is weird? 160ps at the wheels on ae101? uhh

Flashmn · 07-06-2003, 08:47 PM

I wasnt saying you couldnt turbo the blacktop, but you cant do it reliably with stock internals. You can run a stock 4A-FE with around 12-15psi boost pretty much reliably. You might want to take a look at the list of parts changed in the blacktop, I dont read japanese, but I'm sure it has pistons in there aswell.

i wonder why they(AE92w/20V) DON'T show up if the motor is as fast as some people claim them to be.

listen. there's a 86er in this forum that's doing that swap right now

his words, not mine, is that he'd be HAPPY with 130 at the wheels.

boroEF · 07-07-2003, 07:10 AM

but anyway, my question here was if anybody has had any experience with a 20v!

i dont think a silvertop is capable of doing that in stock form

but i'm here to find out!!

I say fuck this dicussion, its pointless. Shaun, do the fuckin' swap and track that bitch. Your motor is down on compression as it is and you can get the motor/harness/ecu for less than the price of a tits-out highcomp. Do it up bro, and if you need a hand, gimme a call.
