4AGE Bottom-end Internals

[Pottie]

Hi

I am busy to turbo (T3/T4 Hybrid) a 4AGE 20V Blacktop motor, I am going to put it in my AE92 Conquest (AKA Corolla Hatchback, see pic below).

I need to know the strength of the crank and rods. I know the rods on the BT is not that good, but will the rod of a 4AGZE be strong enough?

Also the Crank on the BT, will it be able to handle the power or should I acquire a different one? Is so it there a difference in the crank from the 4AGZE and the 4AGE from the AE92 series regarding strength?

Thanks

I found out so far that all the cranks are forged. Toyota did do some weight reduction on the later models for better revving purposes.
