TurboRA28 Forums Junkie Location: Terrigal Registered: May 2002	Re: Should I scrap 3SGTE build in favour of 4AGTE build? Fri, 28 January 2005 01:21 Thanks all for the information so far. Interesting what you said ke382tg about the midrange and how it may struggle with the extra weight. RA28 is somewhere around 1100 - 1150kg with everything in it. I buggeted the $4000 for a 4agte build on these rough assumptions - $800 or so for a bare 4agze $800 maching work (balance, hone, head service, etc) $500 for rebuild parts (gaskets, rings & bearings) $700 for a T28 S15 turbo $500 for exhaust manifold $150 for RWD inlet manifold $250 for injectors I'm sure there is some bits & pieces I have missed there. Not sure about pistons for these.. Heard the factory ones are quite good. I already have autronic ECU so no aftermarket management needed. Basically with the 4agte or 3sgte, its just to build up the engine as the RA28 is already setup with all the exhaust, fuel system, ecu, etc. The 3SGTE sounds like the go though based on this thread so far. The thing that bugs me a bit about the 3sgte is the amount of custom made parts required for it. It's going to need custom or modified - inlet manifold (runners, plenum etc), turbo manifold, engine mounts, sump, oil drains from head, bellhousing mods, flywheel, clutch bearing/fork probs). Just seems a real headache and I'd perfer something a bit more factory than that. 4agte really is just a 4agze, with a custom turbo manifold and factory inlet rwd inlet manifold. Oh yeah and one of those 4A - W5x bellhousings. But yeah.. if its not going to cut it its not going to cut it. Damn toyota not making a RWD 16v 1.8 or 2ltr engine. [Report message to a moderator]
