AA60 repower?

[Hachiroku]

I'm trying to decide on what engine to use in my AA60 Carina. I want something around 150-200hp that will be cheap and straightforward to fit and won't upset the balance of the car. Saw this on shaftme and wondered if it would be worth considering: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =149803824
Have already thought about 4age (not enough torque), 18rg/3tgte (too old), 5mge (too heavy), 3sge (too tricky/expensive to make rwd) and 3vzfe. Any other advice or suggestions would be appreciated

that 1g looks the business, i would suggest an altezza 3sge beams but probably out of price range.

other option would be to build 7age turbo- proven power there

I've seen one with a 1UZ in it. Aparently it goes in without too much hassle.
From memory, RomanV knows the guy who owns it, and by the sounds of it, it was easier to get in there than Roman's redtop 3SGE!

Yup, ezy10s owns that car. Go look on garagedori for the spec list and photos

Rotor Au!!! dirty words- but hell,std 13bt has its good points - not too heavy- easy to mount- good power- compact- not too expensive.

From a cost/handling/power/ease point of view get an altezza 3sge with factory computer, loom, intake, exhaust and gearbox.
I have seen complete setups sell for $2000.
Find an 1S powered carina or corona (rack and pinion steering) and grab the crossmember and mounts.
Just about one of the most bolt up options around in my opinion.

Otherwise 3rz-fe setup... loads of torque to get the old carina going.

Not sure if Brendon sold this or not?

4agze = 4age with a bit of torque, will bolt straight in too and up to ya box. and i think they only need like 7 wires hooked up to run.
