Tek, i got some ??s as I am considering a 4agze swap for my 91 rolla. how much did it cost for your gze motor, whered u get it, what condition? do u know if i can use an aftermarket ecu or sumthin if i cant get ahold of a stock gze ecu? The motors i saw on ebay didnt look like they came with the ecu, and the gze can only run with the ecu made for it, and i hear the gze ecu's are hard to find. How long did the swap take you, and was it hard in your opinion?

I got a front clip indirectly from Venus Auto in Cali. Paid $1400 for it and some change for a friend to deliver it.
The motor was rather dirty, but excellent condition:
A little cleaning, knuckle banging and voila:
You can run just about any motor on aftermarket ECUs. Yes, the stock ECUs are like gold though.
I strongly urge you (or anyone) to get a front clip if they're not going standalone management. Because with a cut harness, trying to find the igniter, solenoid resistor, etc., things will add up VERY fast.
Just got exhaust put on it tonight (nothing special...just quiet) and I can finally hear that sexy supercharger whine!
MORE VIDEOS!! And can you make them better sound quality so we car hear the sexiness?? Have a friend tape you flooring it and peeling out. I wanna see how much better this thing really is than my crappy stock 4a-fe
Looks like great fun, but the idea is to stop at the stopsign you bastard, not roll through the damned thing.
