3sge's are very nice motors - ive seen quite a few 150 - 200 thousand examples that still purr along like new ..

never heard any gripes about them either - only that the clutch and cam belt are a prick to change .

As for GT4 Vs evo and rex . the Rex has the power - is lighter - and has very good brakes - the evo - spot on par bit with more power and a bigger $$

a Stock 1990 Gt4 has no hope against current rexes - as they weigh alot more - and hvae less power - BUT - the3sgte is a bloody good engine - hard as nails - and can be modified to easily eclipse anything the other two can muster with the right tuning -

Changes like boost controllers - fuel pressure regulator removal , and Intercooler being mounted front wise will improve the engines power limits - obviously as these seem to be the downfall due to things like heatsoak etc getting in the way of clean powered boost .

handling on the GT4 suffers cause of the weight - and a silly rear end setup - too small a sway bar and way too much rear diff play - this can all be dialed out to make the thing handle like a rollerskate

Brakes - as far as ive seen - in testing a few Gt4s ( including a Grp A ) are VERY strong - moreso on the GRp A than the strock obviosly - but very nice stoppers

In a nutshell - with a few extra thousand tacked on to the average 11 thousand price tag - you can make a car thats as good as any WRX in handling and performance - that looks shitloads nicer - and insures cheaper , and still have money in the hand to put in a nice stereo and wheels - for the price of an Evo or a WRX ..

go the Gt4 - an underrated Toyota performance car
