Need to make the final decision soon cause I have prices on all three types of engines and winter is almost here. I have to choose but since I already decided to go with the 4a series engine I'm having trouble choosing which one. They all have aspects that I like. Just need alittle nudge in one direction. Post why you would choose it and hopefully some one will strike a nerve and help. I know all the horse power/torque stats just need the humanistic reasons. Like, more low end torque or better top end or just a well rounded engine. Got a couple weeks to make a final choice. Piggy banks open, ready for those two cents...

in order to add FI to the 20v silver or blacktop, you must rebuild the internals because of the super high compression. the blacktop would be a wonderful motor, but parts in the US are non-existant. with that motor, however, you could get the later model, and have the luxury of having a 6-speed tranny in a 6th gen celica...the GZE is pretty self explainitory, 160-170hp stock depending on what version/year motor you get, +30hp with just a Cusco crank pulley upgrade, easy to convert to turbo, etc etc (if you go with this swap, just lemme know, and i can help you out with the specifics as much as you need it). then there's the silvertop. honestly, i don't think that's a very good option for a swap. too much effort for nto a whole lot of power. if driven right, and using the right fuel, you MAY be able to get near the 150hp mark they are rated at, but also know they are rated way over what they actually produce. again, with the blacktop, you will have to do some sourcing of parts, and also like the blacktop, in order to get a lot of increase in power, you have to work from the inside of the motor out. final opinion: 4AGZE or 4AGE blacktop. -John- -------------------- AIM==Mynzeyes
