Ok, so i have a St and really want to swap in a 4age. At first i wanted to find a 4agze, but that looks less and less realistic... How ever i think it would be awsome to turbo up a 4age and i see alot of kits for corollas with the same engine. Ive looked at cars like Coomers with the silvertop and theres alot of space there. I want to hear the fourums thoughts on the matter, anything besides "get a 3s-gte". Thanks!

QUOTE (95CelicaST @ Jul 28, 2009 - 11:33 PM)  GZE pistons will work in a 20V? Can those pistons accommodate the 3rd intake valve? I don't think they can. Valves have absolutely nothing to due with it, the blocks are identical thus the pistons are interchangable. The only reason to change the pistons is if your are seriuosly going to turbocharge it to lower compression and run more boost. --------------------  1994 Supra TT 1999 Cadillac Escalade (winter ride/tow truck) 1994 Celica GT-4 Converted 1998 Celica GT-4 Converted 1987 Corolla FX 1986 Corolla AE86 (Next Project) |

The stock 20v pistons have an additional scallop on the top of the piston for valve clearence. From what I have read the gze pistons will work but the higher 8.9 to 1 compression version if used becomes interference when used with a 20v head meaning if the timing belt breaks, bad news. The 8 to 1 is non interferencewith the 20v head. I am starting a 16v 4agte project but I am not sure if it is going to end up in my celica or my 88 corolla gts.
