Hey guys, recently got myself an ae71 csx 5spd manual, completely stock apart from twinky wheel and seat:thumbup:
Before I even bought the ae, I had bought myself a 16v bigport.
I have started learning how to drive rwd (owned a h22a civic for a while :P) and decided I wanted to build myself a decent car..
Atm I have bought a pair of 86 coilovers and some good springs/shocks for the ass, adjustable panhard rod and the car came with a whiteline upper strut brace in the front.
I have a little money left over ($2k~) and have decided I might redo the head in the 4age/check out the rings and bores before I got ahead and do the conversion.
QUESTION: Sorry for droning on just trying to get as much info on what I have and what I'm doing.
I would like to know what would be the best cam to bang into the 16v.. supposedly stock and had new rings/bearings 5,000km~ ago. It came with trd replica 4-1 equal length headers and a 2 1/4" ??? exhaust with 2 lukey mufflers.
Going to look at cleaning up the ports in the head as my dad has done alot of head work with toyota and other engines in his life.. but will it be worth buying a drop in cam? Read up alot on cams and people saying they have seem stock ecu's running 272's but with a comp they wont get the full power out of them..
Even wondering if just buying a microtech and getting it wired/tuned will improve the power?
Have never driven a 4age powered corolla, apart from a st20v sprinter with trumpets.. no idea how that would compare to an ae71.. and how much power this 16v i got will make..
Cheers,
Deeken.
