Engine Codes - Discussion

[Mike-]

pfft quit ya whinging you oldies, were all going to put letters where we want,

from what i can see on this forum, when somebody says 4a-ge turbo it usually means they've slapped a turbo on a bluetop,
whereas 4a-gte means they've got the semi-notreally-whocares-forged pistons

and revhead, we live in a fast paced world, theres no time to stop and say 'four aye gee eee', personally im trying to go one better and get 'frage' to catch on, dont you love the sound of 'frage turbs'

FINALLY!

I'm sick of kiddies saying "I've built a 4A-GTE"

Seriously, WTF is a 4A-GTE, it tells me NOTHING about the internals of the engine except it's from a 4A-G family, is it a GZE? or did you turbo the N/A Block?

STOP MAKING UP YOUR OWN ENGINE CODES.

I'm fine with people calling it 4A-GE Turbo'd
Or 4A-GZE Turbo'd

Not 4A-GTE or 4A-G(T)E. and certainly not a 4A-GZTE.

Seriously a big W.T.F

Saying they have a 4A-GE tells you nothing about its internals either, so why would calling it a 4A-GTE be any different

you know what pisses me off

"iv got a four age"

Hah, thats like guys with Skylines who say they've got an RB20 debt But thats the english language for you, always evolving.

W for gated bro.

[xsspeed]

so whats the diff between ae80/81/82? different specs?

AE80 has a 2A engine
AE81 has a 3A engine
AE82 has a 4A engine

ST170 corona has a 4S engine 1800
ST171 has a 3S engine 2000

ST183 celica has a 3S
ST184 celica has a 5S 2.2
ST185 has a 2 litre and is 4WD

all Numbers, and letters in japanese chassis codes equate to something

makes sense i forgot they came with 3a's

And people who type 'Evo' in uppercase. EVO. Because it's an acronym.
