    Default 4AGTE or 20 Valve Engine

    I've currently got a 16 Valve in my ke and have taken it to drift practice a few times but I feel its lacking power as its only stock so I am looking to upgrade In the near future. All I would need is Engine, Loom and ECU I think but not 100% sure. Am looking at 20 valve or 4AGTE. Not really fussed just after cheap power really and a bolt in upgrade. Am in Adelaide but may look into postage pending price but would much rather Local. Would want as much info on the engine as possible to see what its life has been like. Cheers Troy.

    I think you would be better off with a gze. The 20 valve is not mutch of an upgrade from the 16v for the money you would have to pay to get it.
    You could get the gze for roughly the same price as a 20 valve and have way more power potential. In saying that I havent seen a gze motor for sale for quite some time.
    You may want to look at getting a half cut or an engine package from places like adelaide jap etc etc.

    Adelaide Jap have only fwd 20 valves and I cant be bothered with one of them and have no 4agze's. Any engine like that would be dope. Really want to own a turbo car though and what better than a ke70 lol. Let me know if have anything!!

    Why not turbo the engine already in your car.?? As long as you don't boost it too hard it should be fine... Been done befor..
    Plus you skip all the extra hastles trying to find and engine and then swapping it in... Plus gze engines a re a MESS... so much shit hanging off the side.. I gave up on mine threw everything in the bin and converted to turbo..

    Dont think the engine Ive got could withstand much. Definately not the best 4age ever but its okay for now. Was just looking at all the options i have before deciding on anything. Thanks for the advice and I may just go that if its alot easier.

    most 4agze/20v 4ages you find are going to be still setup as FWD...

    every rarely will you find a engine already converted to rwd and ready to bolt in...

    True. Was hoping one would pop up here around the time im looking to buy. Might just look into working my 4age or buying one already worked. N/A would be sweet to have. Just after a little more bite.
