Fri, 28 January 2005 00:53 If this conversion is for your RA28 (weight of 1100kg?? you would know the weight) I would continue with the 3SGTE so you get a little more capacity. If it were a TA22 I would say the choice is yours and either way will be fine. A 4AGTE is quite a small engine to push along your sized car (even with more than 160kw). I have a 4AGTE in my 920kg car making upwards of 170rwkw and it runs 12's over the quarter. I guess it really depends on what you want from your car in the end. The 4AGTE will potentially give a nice package (especially if you are aiming for a nimble handling beast). But the 3SGTE will probably lend itself to a more suitable package for your sized vehicle. I think you probably need to consider the power and torque values other than the peak values too. It's the midrange that is where most of your fun most of the time is spent and the 3SGTE would probably offer more in this area and be better suited to your sized car. If I put 3 people in my car it would probably still be just under the weight of your car with a driver and my car with this many passengers really has it acceleration inhibited by the extra weight, still good, but nowhere near as good as driver only or just one skinny passenger Sounds like a tough decision, but i would stick with the 3SGTE path. 4AGTE's have become too common..........
