4agte or 3sgte

[the2man]

Next spring I'm planning an engine swap from my 85 N/A to either a 4agze, then turboing it, or a 3sgte (I am having a shop do it, though not sure which one). The only problem is will the 3sgte be easy enough to service? or is it worth it to spend the extra cash and switch a 4agze to a turbo setup? I know both engines can handle the horsepower i plan on pushing, but for less money it seems i can have a 3sgte swapped. What's the weight difference between the two as well?

If you are gonna twin charge the 4agze.... id do that. If you are going to go strait turbo... just get the 3sgte.

I'm guessing it'd be easier to squeeze more hp out of a stock 3sgte, and i'd be going single turbo, but i'm concerned with weight, price and space for me to work on it after its swapped

I'm talking twin charged.... super and turbocharged 4age.

Still only single charged. It will either be a 4agTe, or a 3sgte, i'd take the s/c out

Na... either twin charge or do a gen 1.5 IMO.
