    just a few custom parts like supercharger mounts,alternator mount(?), and then your cooler piping, the block itself will bolt up the same as any 4age

    well im going a 4AGZE conversion at the end of july and have been told there are alot more mods that have to be dun

    The SC mount needs a chop up to fit the RWD engine mount, the intake into the throttle needs to turned or moded, the out let on the SC to intercooler needs to made up. Then theres the cooling system that needs to be done. Wiring in the ecu and mounting the coil packs everything else. Also you need a 16v 4AGE or 20V 4AGE flywheel (GZE flywheel is 230mm in diameter and doesnt fit in the T50 bellhousing)
    and you will need to fit a VN full pump

    all up its going to cost me $5900 giv and take

    the 4age conversion is alot more strate forwood and cost less

    TieDau: I think you may have a slightly incorrect understanding. A ZE is not really much harder than a GE. Both require a bit of rooting around like wiring, getting the cooling pipes all going to the right spots, etc (unless you get an originally RWD 4AGE, in which case it is only wiring).

    The only things harder for ZE are:
    Mod SC mount - 5 mins max with a grinder.
    Flip intake pipe and make spacer - an hour or two to make the spacer
    IC mounting and piping - Not that hard (15 mins with zipties and gaffer tape or a couple of evenings to do it properly)

    For the power gain, and ease of further increases I think you'd be mad not to go ZE. However that is just my opinion. Whether it really is worth it is a personal decision.
