anastasios Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 if you are going to go to all the trouble of a ca you might as well go sr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Being a KE30, you can get T3 engine mounts to bolt into the bay for the 4AGE, but most people normally go completely custom. It isn't a straight forward swap like an AE71 / KE70, so either motor will be a bit of work. If your not planning to boost the motor there's not much in it power wise between an SR and a 4A, they just make there power in different places. A good smallport on carbs will keep up with an SR20DE, maybe even beat it on the right sort of track, but it'll never be as easy to drift or as quick up the hills. So it depends if your willing to desecrate a Toyota with a datto engine :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shauns ke30 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) lol beerhead!! what are t3 engine mounts off??? ford lazer?? keelzamate!! if i turbo it i can't drive it!! jason12!! not a fan of the ca18de lol well i think I'm going sr20!! just need help befor i go and buy one sorry to say this but i have resently found out that most people selling the 4age's just sell them for fun and love playing games with you just to see how much money they can pump out of you for it! they need to pull there head in its not worth a million dollors!! its a 1.6l!!! today i came across a bloke that wanted close to 2g for a 4age motor and box stocka!!! hahaha for that price i can get a hole front cut 4age! and i can also get a rwd sr20 vvt motor complet with loom computer and gearbox so i now no what I'm doing i have got 2 sr20's at home for parts! i no it will be harder going sr20 but yeah if i some how blow it up $400 can get me a ok one why oh why whats happening to the corolla's these days the 4age stock motor is worth more then my ke30 but hey when i get the sr20 in and going! I'm going to sell it for $20,000 coz it so rare :jamie: jokes cheers shaun Edited March 14, 2010 by shauns ke30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Hmm, just looked at the site and now I'm not 100% sure on those mounts... T3 Mounts I thought they did corolla ones too, but it looks like just starlet ones! ah well. I think the RWD 16V 4a's are holding there money because of how rare they are now. Fairly difficult to find an importer that stocks them so your stuck dealing with private sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 sr20 is not any harder to do than 4a, they do come with a much worse computer though, toyota computers are always better to work with than nissan ones. sr20 is Probably easier conversion actually, at least a rwd format one is common as can be. Ca18 is a waste of time, there is no sustitute for cubic inches. The only reason you would stick with the smaller 4ag is if you are a toyota purist, which is fair enough.

KeelzaMate Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 if u were going turbo, id go for a ca18det but if u want/have to go N/A id go for a 4age bigport or 4age 20v, high revs :jamie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
