    Why not 1GGZE instead then?

    Ahh - if you read my first post, that was my original plan. However, I've been busy - got myself a 5mge to put in cheap, until i can afford something else. A 1GGZE really does appeal...however the suggestion of a 2jzge appeals too - 7mge's...bah. I know they're good - but the headgasket problems...i guess a metal gasket fixes that.

    Anyway, for now, a 5mge will do. Any better engine upgrade will involve a lot more work - like dif, transmission, etc.

    i don't understand this comment.
    Aren't there a whole bunch of 1ggte powered ra40's floating around (brett celicacoupe springs to mind), they have steering boxes also.
    Or is the box completely different between ma45 and ra40 (ie due to ma45 having a powersteering setup) actually doesn't brett also have a powersteering box in his ra40 also (from an mx62)?
    obviously the crossmember is different and the nose length but i wouldn't have thought these would be showstoppers for a 1ggte.

    ps i know you are talking about 1ggze, but i just got confused why a 1ggte will struggle to fit.
