    OH....Oops..Srry about the section.

    I saw technical articles and figured it would fit here. Sorry.

    But, Isn't an SR-5's motor a 4-ac? I have an SR-5 badge on my car...And a 4-ac sticker on my motor :unsure:

    If you can get a hold of a manifold and carb combo that'll bolt up, it shouldn't be a problem. You said you had an SR-5, so i'm guessing you live in the states. In which case might be worth alook, they have a carb and adapter package available for the 4AC.

    Before you do that though, check your compression and everything else. If you cooked it on a 'spirited' drive, you may have cracked or warped the head.
    If it isn't running properly, check for split lines or some that might have dropped off.

    Personally, i'd put the money towards the twin cam conversion. Why power up the carby motor if you're only going to rip it out in a few months?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Nox @ May 31 2008, 10:23 AM) </div>Yep, it is. Australian AE86's weren't badged as SR-5, so saying 'sr-5 engine' on this forum sounds weird to people.
