O.K I just brought 2 3sge engines for $100 cause apart from a few issues they would be good motors. Now I got them so cheap I am wondering is it worth the effort to swap a 4agze for a 3sge? I use the car as a club car and is not road registered so getting a cert is no issue plus there is no emmision test so can drop the exhuast and put on a good intake etc etc I know the 4agze is a good engine but there is no replacement for displacment and I was wondering weather it is worth putting the engine into my mark 1. I have access to a fully kitted workshop and steel to fabricate the mounts and have done hundreds of straight 4age bolt in swaps and done a V8 swap in an RX7 and totally fabricated everything myself and it was quite a bit of work but well worth it. This is a lot tighter and I want to do a tidy job but if the gains are not worth is then will develop my 4agze further. I love the torque of the 3sge and if it goes well I might turbo it later cause I know a guy that works in a performance shop and if I get a turbo through him he will do a dyno tune for free and he is very good at tuning and has all the gear for tuning link computers. So is it worth it? I am new to the 3sge so have no idea. Oh and I got a silvertop for $50 (I do a lot of under the table deals) so may just adapt the silvertop head to my ze. What is best, I don't know, maybe someone can shed some light on this swap.
