You will not be able to run 15lbs on a stock blue top 4AGE US or JDM, rods simply cannot take it. The 4AGZE on the other hand will be able to handle boost as it was a factory forced induction motor. As far as the 4AGE 20V, wiring them is a nightmare. They are sweet motors, have variable valve timming and individual throttle bodies.. Anyway, don't go to crazy with boost on a stock 4AGE. Oh, another difference between US and JDM 4AG's is the Us motors are MAF and the JDM motors are MAP.

I would suggest checking out www.club4ag.com and the mr2 owners club. Turbocharging these motors has been done and is well documented. http://www.mr2oc.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=2

Very good info there. I would probably just buy one of those cars and try to make a few bucks on it. have you seen them on ebay, a shitty AE86 will go for at least 3G.

I used to have an MR2. There is alot of potential with the 4AGE as NA. I had mine up to about 190whp @8k. Fun little motor.

I saw one that was primered, 180,000 miles, manual (of course), went for $3,700. Sell it on egay dude, you'll make mad money! Just include things like "great for drifting!" in the main description.

Re:Car idea....4AG-E

My FX used to be an automatic as well. No ------- problem. The clutch pedal/master cylinder is a separate bracket so you can just put it right in with some drilling. Plus, the autos had a bigger power booster. The shifter assembly bolts up the same under the console as the auto, and I'm talking basically any 87-92 FWD corolla shifter. The 4AGE in there has about 125-130 horsepower on a cold day, the US GZE's were rated at about 150. The GZE block for my FX is at the machine shop. I highly recommend you get that car. The FX-16's had cooler seats, swaybars, strut tower brace, cool cluster, all factory! I didn't even have a ------- tach.
