Thinking of a 20 Valve for my SR5

[Xenon]

Hey there guys,
I'm thinking of taking out of 16v and getting a 20v instead! Any suggestions about that engine?
I asked a friend of mine to give me a quote and he said he'll answer me by the end of this week for price of engine and labour!
Any downsides to this engine?

Respect

if you can get it with wiring harness and ecu thats pretty good...if not you'll need to used some standalone or aftermarket ecu...talk to moto p on club4ag about it

[bondobondo]

does your friend know exactly what is involved for the labor??????

it isn't a matter of just dropping the engine in there.. but i am curious so lemme know!

I would have to agree with andrew, although the 20v is a really good motor, especially for n/a beasts, it's a very hard motor to install, esp in an sr5.
good luck guys, make a work journal, i wanna know what the process looks like. =D

well xenon is going to install it into an ae92 sr5, so it is fwd, so everything will line up..

just a matter of figuring out the ecu and wiring etc etc

Thanks guys,

I'm just waiting for my mechanic to give me a shout back about the total labour and engine damage to my wallet. And we'll see what the story is.
