3sge vs 20v

[Gabes86]

he guys so I bought my 86 last week and she's a shell so I need to give her a hear but my question is what should I put a 20v or a 3sge my goal is to have 200hp... yeah I know you guys are going to flame me saying thats ridiculous amount of power, but in the future I want this to be a time attack and what I see in all ta 86s is 180hp, but I also want the stock interior sooo yeah. So what is easiest/cheapest ,to swap and build a 200hp 20v 4age or to swap a 3sge and leave it stock. Also a reason Im leaning towards the 3sge is it will be more reliable.

3sge beams blacktop has 210 hp already from the factory. To get 200 hp out of a 4age 20v blacktop you'll have to have serious money. Think it'd be cheaper to turbo a 4age 20v silvertop then instead of upgrading the na 20v blacktop

If the only goal is 200 hp... 3SGE beams from an Altezza is the way to go, imo - 200+ hp stock (more reliable) and there are AE86 mount kits available. You'll have to deal with more issues getting all the systems set up in an AE86 compared to a 20v, but it will still probably cost less than one would need to invest reaching 200 hp on the 20v.

imho... the key hear is the transmissions capability to hold up to 200hp - The beams comes with a trans capable of handling the power, any "A" based engines has limited options: the T50 - weak, a rare LEEN adapted 6 speed - Hen's teeth, or the need to customize some other option to make it all work - time/money/engineering.
