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...

I am having a very, very tough time with my swap, but I think that that's more due to my mechanic being so busy and lazy than anything else. I think the 20V silver top 4A-GE is going to be the easiest engine to swap in your case, and it's the only one that's been proven and has been done before. If you plan on doing autocross or anything like that, I'd definitely say get either twenty valve 4A-GE, because it's a strong, high-revving engine that is excellent for autocross and road course racing. Installation of the twenty valve 4A-GE is going to be much easier as well, and from what I've read, a healthy AE111 or AE101 4A-GE can withstand 7 pounds of boost without any problems.  If you plan on drag racing your car a lot, you'd probably be better off with the 4A-GZE, as it is a strong engine that has much better torque and is going to be faster than a twenty valve 4A-GE in the quarter mile. That said, I've never seen a sixth generation Celica with a running 4A-GZE, and the installation is much harder from what I hear. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
