ok well i just blow up my engine i was woundering what engine i should get the 4a-ge or the 7a-fe or any other suggestions. of what i should put in

I would get the 4age. I have a mr2 with a 4age and i like it better than the 7afe its more reliable.

1st thing is 1st.... What are your power plans for the car.... Also, How much time do you have to replace the engine? What are your fairly longterm power goals for this beast?

how much are u looking to pay???are u going to be doing the install urself???

^^ good questions

if you are looking for a little more power than a 4age would be an option but the cost is high and the power increase isn't that great. For just a replacement 7afe the cost is much much cheaper and easier.

also, you are OBDII so having a non OBDII motor in your car would make it difficult to get a state inspection.

not trying to jack thread but i have the same problem my 7afe is burning more oil than gas lol its my soon to be wifes car so i want to make it reliable for her but she likes a lil power to play with (thats why i love her lol) so ya swap to a 4age or replace the 7afe with some after market parts and 2.5 in piping from the header back, SIR, pistons cams, get the crank balanced and stiffer springs and maybe a few other things. would it be cheaper to just swap the 4age and replace all the gaskets and drop it in or rebuild the 7afe?

A 4age isn't going to simply plug and play. It's a full swap with wiring and plumbing... If you can do that... go for it. If not... don't.

That said... the bigport 4AGE isn't much better stock for stock than a 7AFE. The smallport is better, but isn't worthwhile enough... the 20V and/or the 4AGZE are the only ones worth doing...
