Whats your opinions,
Both 2Ltr.
One a 4cyl the other a 6cyl..
What has better acceleration and top end?
Which is easier to tune to get high output numbers?
Anyone know the engine weights?
And even just personal preferences and opinons...
I was always hyped on 4age variants.... now looking at the toyota 2 Ltrs...
.........for AE86...
By the way this was sparked by the recent Zoom edition with engine stats for conversion ideas.

Well I might as well start the ball rolling here! IMHO it depends on which vehicle you wish to fit the engine to. Basic design differences between the engines will allow the 1G-GTE to develop torque earlier than the 3S-GTE. The 3S-GTE probably has the greatest potential for mods, just on availability of hot bits, cause they have been used extensively in Rally (Neil Bates), and Circuit racing (TOM's Supra).

IMHO means 'In My Honest Opinion'
3sgte's are also available in newer form than the 1g's, which means they're pricier but are also alot less likely to have high k's on them.
They are probably easier to find these days as well, plus I think a 3sgte will be more friendly when it comes to the weight distribution of the ae86 but thats just based on the fact that its an in-line 4 vs an in-line 6.

Why would the basic design of the 1G have it producing more low-down torque. I would've thought as in the case of most small sixes that it was the opposite but the tradeoff was smooth operation due to the tiny cylinders and the natural balance of an inline six.
