Proper N2

[MAGIC MAN]

Ok so i got a new hatch shell, well a new old one. And i missed the N2 old replica so much i want another one but a far more superior version. Engine is sourced, naturally a 4AGE, this time a 16v version. The engine i have has a very easy to distiguish cam cover so there is no doubting its origin. A stronger close ratio gearbox has been picked as well as a set of 5.4 diffgears. I have a fair bit work to do but its going to be worth it

Does that imply a Formula Atlantic spec 4AGE?

Sorry for crappy link pic but I'm sure this name is familiar to some engine is currently pulled down as I had to get a new block due to Atlantic cars cutting the rear ears off the block so its no big deal. Everything is getting a check over. Had to get a new crank and valves so getting new springs as well just to play it safe

Very nice, when was the engine built?

What livery are you going to have for the build, same old TRD one like the one you built or something else

Anyway, look forward to seeing more pics.

From what i can gather the engine is from an older SWIFT FA chassis not 100% sure of its age. I stumbled across it by accident really the person i bought it off was not interested in the engine, his words were it came as.part of a deal for a race car he'd purchased and had been sitting under a bench for a few years. So we did some back and forth emailing and did a deal. the engine had no intake manifold or exhaust. Drysump pump needs some loving so i sourced a suitable replacement. But all in all i got a good deal.

Im going to do something that i think will shock some people. I.kinda want to keel some of the nostalgia to the car and keep it the way TRD intended. I am going to use carburretors and dizzy with a CDI ignition. Keep it simple and effective. The 48mm side draught delorto's.the original N2 cars were fitted with seem to restrictive according to head flow bench so i have sourced a pair of 55mm webers. I think these will complement this special little 4A. Headers will obviously be custom as before mated to a 3".titanium exhaust i made for the old car but never used. Im posting up a list of things i need in the parts wanted section so please any help would be appreciated

mad shit, I will be watching intensely, the plans sound magical :)

[MAGIC MAN]

Dont watch to intensly i cant see it being a fast moving build my mrs keeps spending my money so i need to sneak it past her

[drift kid]

aha lol, well I can't wait to see some progress :) what condition is the shell in?

[MAGIC MAN]

Lol, shell is ok not great but perfect for a race car. Shell is already entirely seam welded i have already began unpicking all of unused brackets etc... Basically lightening the shell without effecting to much strength. As i want to run as minimal cage as possible to keep car weight down. I have some high expectations for this car. Which im sure will be evident when you all see the parts list. This is by no means a no budget build, its more of a selection of good quality parts that ive taken several years of planning and collecting.

Parts list to date,

Bilstein triple adjustable shocks
PI data logger dash
Brembo brakes
Comp Brake pedal box
FA 4AGE
Getrag dog leg gearbox
Tilton clutch and flywheel
F series diff
MSD timing control cdi
55mm webers
Titanium exhaust
T45 roll cage on order

Wheels not sure yet. But maybe simmons again but wider than before

ok so 4ag needs to flow to ensure good power, as small port is well as i believe to small the big port was to be the base for the project, so i will now introduce you to, the monster bigport. Initial rough porting shows the general idea to get large amount of air into small space with high port velocity well as high as possible. As it is a race only engine i don't care to much for bottom end power as i plan on it spending most of its above 5000, the test port is nearly completed minus some light blending (pic of this not here yet) Initial flow figures looking very promising. The 250hp mark is looking fairly achivable
