For a low level 6-10psi setup it'd still probably be easier, cheaper and arguably as reliable as a gze swap and a turbo.
That's assuming it's tuned properly and in fairly good condition to start with. For more than that, a more hardcore setup, then the ze's internals start to look more appropriate.
The main reason Toyota did it ofcourse is reliability over the very long term.
The standard gze can run on shit fuel, be thrashed to hell, neglected, and still not die within the warranty period.
Besides that, when you're an OEM dealing with masses of engines, the small desirables like forged, ceramic coated pistons, scale well with volume so they dont even notice the manufacturing cost increase.
What I'm basically saying is that Toyota did it not because they NEED to be, but because the little bit extra had a minimal cost impact with a maximum probability of reliability under any conditions.
The stock 4AGE, like any other motor out there, will handle low amounts of boost without modification or strengthening - assuming it's serviced and tuned correctly.
The main benefit I see of the gze is its' computer. Rigging a GZE computer up to a GE with a turbo and a couple of extra sensors should allow for a reletively cheap turbo kit.
But anyhow, back on topic. 100kw or 87kw.
All I can say is you're not buying an engine, you're buying a car. Get the one in the best condition for your dollar.
If you find an 87kw '82 with good suspension, neat paint, clean interior and a service history for a low price, you'd be stupid to knock it back because of 13kw.
Buy the package.
