4AGE 20v

Does anyone know if a 4agze corolla twinky can keep up with a 2zzge corolla sportivo ? Are they fairly reliable and are parts easy to get a hold of ?

I'm thinking of getting one as a hobby/weekend cruise with the boys car as reasonably good condition ones are going for around 5K. Whereas the corolla sportivo needs to stay comfortable for the mrs.

stock for stock they do about the same times downb the 1/4, the sportivo's generally have more power at the wheels but the GZE's have about double the torque of a sportivo from 1500-2000rpm.

Traction is the biggest problem in a GZE due to the torque available from so low in the rev range. They're extremely fun to drive though.

It'd be easier to extract more power out of the gze as well though. Down the quarter, it should be almost dead even as rollamods said...but around twisties, it'll be hardish for the sportivo to keep up.

Assuming you're buying a half cut and chucking it into another car, it'd also depend on the weight of the chassis you put it in. Different generations of the 4a-gze also had different power ratings. With the AW11 MR2 4a-gze having the lowest iirc. Last one made was for the Ae101 JDM corolla, and that had around 130kw at the fly.

Don't forget that lsd ;)
