i say get the carby setup they sound so good and u can get alot of power out of them too
and u wont need a aftermarket ecu if u do head work to the motor
Don't think many people read this, but I'm after some advice...
I'm gonna be buying a halfcut of Buddy Parts soon and he has quite a few coming over and I'm sure they're gonna be all sorts of different 4AGE's...
He also said he was bringing in carby set-up style ones...
So the questions:
What type of 4AGE should I get if given the option...Small port, big port rah rah rah? (Btw 16v or bust)
Should I go Carby set-up for a first 4AGE? Or just stick with a stocko...
Keeping in mind I wont be giving it a massive over-haul, just keeping it stock for a while, maybe a few mods down the line...
Interested to hear what some of you guys think! Help please

EFI for the reliability!!1111
Carbs for the porn induction
RT142 Estate.
AJPS.
Hmm I like that reasoning.
Also...if I was to go carbs do I have to still run a fuel pump? Or can I get away with out it

you will need a fuel pump and a fuel reg. I would go injection for sure cheaper to.
EFI it is I guess. Any one else wanna recommend a type of 4AGE if I end up with a choice?
I was hoping for bigport, 100kw version, with the 7rib block...But I don't really know all the pro's n con's. Links? Other info? Anyone? :lol:
small port if you get all the conversion bits with it
i thought all bigports were the 86kw version and smallports were the 100kw version?
but yeah, EFI ftw, carbs would be sick but efi would be more reliable as said.
I spent a few hours looking into it, Bigports came with either MAF or MAP sensors...MAP = 96kw & MAF = 88kw
Wiki:
The use of an air flow meter (MAF) sensor, which restricted air flow slightly but produced cleaner emissions that conformed to the U.S. regulations, limited the power to 112 hp whereas the Japanese model  which used a manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor  produced 130 PS (96 kW).
^^^ Interesting, you learn something new everyday!
As for reliabilty I know a few people thaty run either twin or single carbs on a few different cars. have been ultra reliable, just harder to get the tune right. but once you have the right jets, and idle jets your set! deffinitly a more expensive exercise thought!
considered 20valve at all?
Traction and me, were not meant to be...
