Engine bay pics?

Still undecided atm. I have a mildly worked NA 16v 4age sitting in pieces waiting. But im looking into a 3sge black top conversion instead. ive been told that if i threw another $2-3k at the 4age id be a little better than a stock altezza 3sge power output. And with working a NA 4age to 150kw comes reliability issues.
What do u think?

Any suggestions on which way I should go with a budget of $5k would be great.

Blacktop motor is great on ITB's :cool:

a 4age will almost never be better than a beams

beams will always been newer, have more torque and drivability, reliability and scope for more power later...rather than a worked 4age

downsides of beams are - everything costs more, it doesnt bolt in and the conversion isnt as simple, its not a corolla engine, not legal in some states etc etc

Weigh up what you want from the car I guess
