Fri, 28 January 2005 00:34 Hi all, just having a bit of trouble trying to decide what to do here. I've been planning to start getting stuck into my RWD 3s-gte project soon. I already own heaps of parts for it. But it will cost approx $4000 to finish it. Left to do is - Buy a turbo Custom exhaust manifold Custom inlet manifold Sump mods Custom engine mounts Engine maching Headgakset kit Clutch Now here is where i'm getting confused what to do.. I reckon I could build a 4agte up completely for around the same price it is going to cost me to finish the 3sgte. Or purchase an already build 4agte for this figure. Now I could sell all my 3sgte parts (forged pistons, custom flyhweel, shot peened rods, arp bolts, oil pumps, water pumps, 2S RWD parts, Gen 3 ST205 head, etc, etc ,etc) for around 3k approx. So buy doing that, it is only going to cost around 1k out of pocket for the 4agte build. Originally I went down the 3sgte path thinking it would be necessary to make the power I wanted. But now I am seeing 4agte engines making over 160 rwkw with ease! So why would I want a larger heavier 3sgte engine that is going to cost more, when a 4agte will make the power I want? My aim is around 180kw at the wheels. So yeah, help me make my decision! let me know some pros and cons of all this and can anyone tell me why to continue with the 3sgte build instead of scrapping it for a 4agte? Cheers Joel [Report message to a moderator]
