Re: 4AG 20 Valve into KE70

My personal opinions of the 20V are widely distributed on these forums, so ill stick to options I think are most suitable to the car.
with a 16V 4AGE you only need the AE71 cross member to fit the engine...but then youll need the gearbox to drive it....so you may as well go find a complete cheap AE71, theyre cheap enough to make it about the same as buying the engine and gearbox seperately and fitting it to your own car, plus you wont have to buy the clutch master and slave and fit it all as well, oh and then youll need the AE71 pedal box to suit the clutch master as the KE70 uses a cable driven pedal box.
A 4age will give you very nice power for the KE70 and is easily able to be improved upon relatively cheaply with cams, computers etc.
however if you really want some power ( and a big bill for engineering) then go for a GZE, its pretty much a similar conversion but you will have to reconsider the diff as the stock Borg Warner will not be up to task.
if you want to persist with a 20V then good luck, youll find all sorts of nigley little issues to make it a painfull project IMHO. Things like the firwall needing to be massaged and fixing the water flow issues are just the start. Personally if youre going to go to that much trouble I would do a 3SGE conversion instead.
Oh and dont forget if youre going to put the 4A into the KE70 youll need an engineering certificate as well because you breach the 15% capacity rule
