Hey guys. Just wondering if u can summarise a bit of info on the 2t for me for a mate which is pretty thick skulled as it appears to me. Seemingly newer engines only get better ya? i am generally doing a comparison between the 2t and 4ag 16v either 86 or 100kw. I've been told the 2t is a 8 valve engine but alot of talk is abotu changing the crank or something. what crank is used as i heard this crank change basically strokes it to a 2 liter. Was teh 2t also ever a carby engine? Did they all come out with a yamaha head? I'm a bit insolent on the 2t info. Might sound stupid but my mate rekons they DID NOT come with a yamaha head and it is no longer a 8 valve engine with this head. so i just wanna know these few things
Stock winner
Modified winner
block strength winner
power band comparison
cost/power comparison
better choice of engine for an ae86.

2T=1600cc, 8valves, OHV, carby. With 3T crank and bored to the max makes 2litres. Original 2T bore and stroke 85x70mm = 1600cc. Original 3T bore and stroke 85x78mm = 1800cc. With 3T crank and max bore 89-90x78mm. Only twin cam (also 8 valves) version is "Yamaha head" and only twin cam and 3T came with EFI. If your considering 2T into your AE86 (by the avatar) it's only reasonable if your considering also turbo/supercharger...
And I dont know why I'm wasting my time DO A SEARCH.

stock winner - a 4age 100kw is the better motor - more modern , slightly more powerful
modified - id put my dollars on a 2t - not only is it strokable - its head flows extremely well for a single cam - and with the right dollars thrown at it - can be a serious sub 9 second engine ..
on the street - for a single cam - there isnt many tougher single cam 4's around when you remove all the econoshit off it
2tg is better again for more racy applications - though similar power can be prodiced from 2t singles and 2tg twin cams - though the G series delivers it smoother i believe due to a more modern head design.
Up until the last dyno shootout day for toymods - a 3tg/2tg hybrid held top under 1800cc N/A class killerwaat champ - until a 4age 4x4 corolla came along and really baffled us all with a huge power figure doubling all 4ag's and 2tg's on the day..
Still havent figured out that one!

Oops i have made a grave mistake. It is 2tgeu. Well assuming the original things i asked applies with what u guys told me i'm assuming if u threwbig bucks on a 4ag it would still lose. The 2tgeu seems like a nice conversion actually. for those with the budget. BTW the 2t aint goin in my car. My mates thinking of which to put it in.. His corona or 86.
Well any other info would be great. like upgrade paths recommended mods. As in modsu would do if the 2tgeu was in your hands.
What do the 2tgeu engine sell for nowadays?

I'm driving a car with a 2TGEU, mine is pretty well stock, I'd hardly call a K&N filter a mod but power delivery is very smooth and its pretty quick, I havn't really wanted to see "how quick" it can go just yet. But I reckon they are a great engine.

in a corona - your better option would be an 18rg , seeing they had an 18R motor as far as i know
In a sprinter ( ae86 ) its much more logical to do a 4age swap ..
the 2t's ive talked about have been big budget motors - or worked to be as good as they are - for a sprinter - tyou could do the same with a nice 4age - and not have any of the issues of custom mounts and stuff

Try the seven second bracket for the 3T.

Corolla near the bottom. Some Starlets running very low eights as well.
Not a 4AGE in sight.
