    Well its come time for mor epower from my 4ag and id like t run a few ideas infront of you and see where we end up.

    Please feel free to throw in you own ideas at will.

    Motor is a standard rwd 4age from a ae86, standard rebuild, new rings, bearings valve stem guides, hone and all the usuall rebuild shit that happens.

    Now more power

    1) adjustable cam gears, Fidanza Vernier Cam Gears

    2) 304in/288ex cams from "wade cams", size not definate but i hear smaller inlet cam had torque benefits.

    3) haltech or microtech ecu, which ever offers me value for money.

    Im hope for around 75-85 rwkw. what you guys think. And im not fussed on quad throttles just yet, have i missed anything?

    Cheers
    Steve

    -bigger radiator
    -thermo fan
    -oil coolers are cool not to sure how much more hp it makes.....
    -good/better ignition system
    Thats the plan for mine, they are easy to make a little bit of power out of just keep it simple

    You will need to do the computer before anything or you won't notice a great deal difference.

    oil cooler is a safety issue more than anything, same with bigger radiator.
    converting to elec fan can help get a little more power
