Re: 4A-GTE Configuration Questions
Its not turbo yet. I'll try to get some, the car is daily driven, but under construction. Stripping paint from the hood and burned my shifter cable, I only have 1-3-5, and I can fight it into reverse. My dumb *** ordered the wrong cable, and Havent got around to ordering the right one. I use a Morse 40 series cable for the fore-aft action instead of the stock one.

Sell everything i4 related and drop a v6 in it. Only thing you'll have to worry about at 400hp is... Blowing the weak *** transmission by having as much torque idling and at 1800rpm as that 4a would have wetting itself at 3000 and 4000. You've already got a standalone that can be retained, the engine and tranny would sell on ebay and go about 1:1 shipping a JDM import v6 and matching transmission to your door. That turbo will be hella more fun on a v6 that can get it going any time the gas was cracked on the street.
v6 swaps are fun, put slicks on it and you'll have faster 60' times rolling in the gas from a high idle as you will listening to a a/s-gte bog launching from boost. That's assuming it's just a basic N/A swap lmao if you put the shithole M45 blower or a medum turbo it gets going in a hurry.
