Hi all!
I have a Wira SE stock 4g15 sohc auto 3speed. Now, I am planning to swap my engine to 6a10 dohc automatic. I would like to understand, would the pick up and top speed improve over my 4g15? I'm not a track driver (hoping I would some day to try), but I do drive with a little gentle spirited driving once in awhile when the traffic is clear (mostly speeding/cruising straight roads only).
Allow me to be honest firsthand. The V6 engine that produces the burbly/refined/aggressive exhaust note is what made me feel keen to swap. Power and pickup is one of my factor too (climbing hill sucks, cant go pass 60), as 4g15 sohc auto really has bad power delivery. However, I'm not entirely sure that the 6a10 is way more powerful or proven to be better than 4g15 sohc (auto vs auto) when it comes to power delivery, except when it comes to reliability (4g15 has better reliability).
My plans are as below.
-Swap 6a10 auto
-Upgrade braking system to evo3 twin pot front, single pot rear, with bigger single servo brake booster, alongside steel braided brake hose.
-Upgrade front/rear suspension to reduce understeer/nosedive during braking (want comfort setup, with a little road feel, need help here as to what suspension to go for)
-Exchange my 15 inch rim to 16 inch with decent tyres like michelin ps4 or ad08.
-Breathing mods (drop-in filter, piping from stock to 1.8", catback exhaust with sport cat-con, exhaust valve open/close system)
-Replacing CP to LCP with harmonic damper (if there's such a product)
-Adding ATF cooler (to prevent autobox from frying)
From the above, would the final result of 6a10 (with or without the LCP) provide me a ride that has better pickup and top speed than my current 4g15 (the 15 inch upgrade to 16 inch might setback my upgrades, i believe)?
With the above, I've also been wondering. Is it possible to do the below?
-is swapping/stroking 6a12 2.0l block possible?
-turbocharging my NA 6a10 engine with automatic gearbox (to gain torque, pickup, low psi with stock internals)?
-if yes, single-turbo or twin-turbo?
-if yes again, how should i take care of the management?
Any sharing, advice, or talks would be great. I'm down for a conversation on this. Though, i am aware that 4g92 sohc/dohc, 4g93 sohc/dohc, 4g93t, should be a better choice. I guess I'm in love with the 6a10, and wanting to swap it with preparation to make the car enjoyable and unique. Thank you for your understanding and sharing!
