hi just wondering what the wieght difference is between a
* 4AGE 86kw or 96kw
* 4AGE 100kw
* 4AGE 20v
and a
* 4AGZE
would a 4AGZE still handle like the bluetop and redtop 4AGE on cornering ?? or well there be more understeer, oversteer than the others ??

yes the s/c would add more weight to the engine, plus the gze gearbox is a beefy bugger..
when i was researching about a 4agze 1/2 cut in 99 i read that the 4agze and gearbox would add aproximetly 100kg's +/- to the car.
the extra weight of the gearbox down low would/could help in handleing i would say.

Is this for FWD setup, or RWD? Do you need to run Aircon & power steer? Much of the GZE's weight is in the aircon & power steer items that most AE82 bluetops wouldnt have. plus they have a really heavy cast bracket that the aircon, p/steer & alternator bolt to, which contributes quite a bit to the total weight.
A bare 4AGZE (alternator & supercharger only) is not going to affect the handling of your car by any real measurable margin.
