Hey guys im startin to get quite annoyed at my 18RGU and im startin to think engine conversion i was previously think 1GGTE have been reading the tech documents. But have been sugested to go SR20 but dont wanna bastardise it by puttin a nissan motor in a toyota but am now thinkin 4AGTE. wat do you guys think would be the best setup to go for but not sure dont wanna turn it into a drag car just a bit of a quick celica i know most of you go one 1G but just looking at options now what do you guys think.
Pete

SR = expenditure on a scale greater than a 1G conversion
TA's seem to like 4AGEx and 2/3T
RA's (being heaver) tend to suit 1G and beyond (3S?)

there was 1ggze RA28 at the AllToyotaDay (and at recent TTCQ meetings) - looked and sounded nice.

the sr20 would make for some nice power heaps of bolt on upgrades for them so making more power will come cheaper but id imagine its nowhere near simple however it is an engine designe to be put into a fwd whereas a 3sgte is only available in rwd configuration so a fair bit of custom work has to also be done...

i would say the 1ggte would be my choice mainly cause the noise of a straight six is something a 4 cylinder cant compete with
