I wanna end up with a supercharged AW11. I heard that only the 88-89s have the room for a supercharger. So I am going to find a non-supercharged one of those years. Where would I find the supercharged motor and how would or who could install it? I have another car, this can sit for a while. What about twin charging. I don't know much about this.
The engine you are looking for is a 4A-GZE. Are you in Thousand Oaks? If so there is a shop out in La Habra, they did the swap on my '91, and they do a damn good job. They could probably get you both the engine and do the swap.
If they don't have it is stock the place I bought my clip off of should have one, or be able to get one.
Let me know where your at... cause that's a TO zip code.... but I'm not positive.
Yep, I'm in the middle-of-nowhere Thousand Oaks. I can take my time on this aw11 project so no rush. I still need to find a decent looking aw before I buy.
Well hell... you can get one with a blown engine for like < $500. Then pickup the clip, and have the shop swap it. That should be pretty close to $3k. You should be able to pull that off.
I just talked with the tech at ELPrototypes and he quoted me 1500 for the motor, 1500 for the labor, and of course I need the AW11. So I guess I'm looking at about 5000. This will prolly include the new compression pulley, pistons, wire harnessing, other goodies... Not a bad investment! I'll just have to keep working and saving, plus I'm going to be custom supercharging my current daily driver as well.
I might be buying a '87 NA MR2. I will let you know on Sunday if I don't buy it. If I don't... get your ass down there and get it. The guy wants $300, has a red-top engine, clean title, some front right fender damage, rear wheel barings need to be replaced. The guy wants it out of his driveway. On Sunday I will decide if I want the shit or not. I'll take some pics... and send them to you if I don't want it.
BTW... that shop your talking about sucks ass. I don't know the shop... but that's way too much. My shop charged me $800. You can also get that clip for MUCH cheaper than that. I have seen 3sgte's go for that. Screw that shop man.... rip off.
Goddamn that looks nice, but I don't have enough money right now. I'll have enough by the end of summer. I'm working my ass off to save up the money. BTW, the aw11s before 88-89 have a smaller engine bay which requires cutting and modification to swap in a 4agze
