Hey everyone,
I need to replace my 7afe and was going to order a 20v silvertop and was wanting to make sure this was a good choice. Also i was wondering what all was required to use the tranny that comes with the motor. All info is appreciated. tyler |

I disagree with that completely. I've built a 7AFE up pretty good and it does not deliver the same or even a similar powerband as the 4AGE. The FE head design, as I've mentioned on this site again and again, does not make power in the high rpms, nor can it even rev efficiently. That's not a good enough reason, IMO, to look down on the 20V 4AGE. Like I mentioned above, it's all about tastes. If you like the straight line and enjoy racing for a few seconds at a time... then by all means, go for the Turbo or Supercharged motors... but if you enjoy track racing, corners, twists, racing that requires more than simply slamming on the gas, then a 20V will be far more fun. Just my opinion on the matter... I've driven a 4AGZE powered AE86 and the non-linear power, although very good, is not effective at what I'd do with a chassi like the AE86. Not everything should be geared towards making power. What's good about massive horspower and torque if you can't even effectively put it on the ground? That's the reason why the swapped guys here have yet to run a 1/4 mile time worthy of admiration... I'm speaking from experience with my secret track project... the 20V is an excellent platform to build off of and can make some power in n/a trim. A turbo, as far as I'm concerned, is the easy way out. Anyone can bolt-on a turbo kit, but only a select few can build a truely powerful n/a 4 cyclinder...
