Whats The Diffrence Between Sx Seca And Rv Seca?

[-S-R-K-]

Heyyz Guys

I'm really Stumpd right now :(

I'm Seling my 89 Seca CSX and geting a 93 RV Seca

 

Does the RV seca Have the same engine as the SX Seca? :P

100kw?

 

and if not is it worth getting the RV Seca? :yes:

 

Cheers Shane. :D

nope, the the rv doesnt have the 4age, it has the 7afe

Make sure you double check the engine, I had a friend with an RV, his was a 4afe, car was a 94 model.

RVs are basically top-of-the-line models (along with the Ultima), however they are more like a specced-up CSX than an SX, in that they don't get the 4AGE, they have the non-SX dash, but they _may_ have rear disc brakes (AE92s aren't my speciality). If you're after an SX, then my best advise would be to get an SX, however if you just want a daily that is fairly solid, well-optioned but still relatively cheap then an RV is a decent choice. The 7AFE isn't a bad engine, a lot of people give it a bad rap because it doesn't rev as well as a 4AGE (well duh), but the torque is very handy and they pull just as hard if not harder than a bigport 4AGE.

Correct

You sure it's a 1994? That would make it either an AE96 RV (late model AE92) or early-model AE102, either way both are 7AFE-exclusive.

Or, you're getting confused with an AE94, which did have the 4AFE, but they were never RV-spec (were Ultima though). Wouldn't surprise me if your friend's RV was really another model but had RV badges/stickers on it for some reason, either because of choice or because of replacement panels (or you've confused a 7AFE for a 4AFE, the late-model 4AFE looks basically identical to a 7AFE)

 

EDIT: All this information was checked against Redbook, and my AE101/102 sales brochure

Yeh it might of been an ae94, I'm 90% sure it was a 4afe, can't double check as the car as since been sold. There was a few suss things like overspray on the engine bay, ae92 front grille that led me to believe it has been in a smash, and the engine had been replaced with a 4afe and re-complianced. But i will say it was one quick seca, which was pretty suprising considering the engine.

Thanks Boys! :D

i saw a RV seca, I'm going to see if it has the 4AGE engine,

 

the guy selling it, and he said it has the 100kw engine.

it needs new paint and its sitting there for a while now.

and Body work.

i don't know if he is bluffing about the 100kw.

[-S-R-K-]

Jst to make sure...

 

what engines have the 100kw

is it jst the 4AGE?

[Mickey H]

4AG smallport, AE101 4AG 20 Valve Silvertop. Not sure about the output of a 7afe

[Bowler]

Only the small port 4age had the 100kW. The 7afe, had (i believe) 88kW. If it does have the 100kW motor, make sure all numbers match up on rego/reciepts...

 

(Edit - the Silvertop 20V had 118kW.)

85kw. Bigport 4AGEs in Aus had 86kw.

 

And never trust the factory power figures for the 20-valve engines, they appear to be inflated - most 20vs dyno only slightly better than 100kw smallports.

yes the RV does have rear discs, and they are usually "cheaper" because the arent sx/gti brakes(even though they are the same) :P

 

he said it has the 100kw engine.

 

i personally never believe things that people tell me bout cars they are selling until i see it for myself :P
