Hi everyone, Bin working on my RWD project for almost a year, thought it was about time I shared it with you all. I all started of as a kit car then I gained a 4AGE toyota engine n box after many cups of coffee the plan was to make a mid engine thing... Plan B a mate propper mini nut gave me a rolling shell knowing full well I like to play with 9" angle grinders making a big mess then stick it all back together with lots of weld. so here it is 10 months in and it's rolling. just got drive shafts to make and re-wire it all, little bit of paint and Bob's your uncle.

Hi Luke, She is only 1.6. but with standard 130bhp. Time I get the 20v throttle bodys sorted and a good zorst system it should be good for 140-150 ish hopfully. Cheers Neil.

[sweetser]

Nahh

Now that would be a laugh

That's the big port Red Top Tvis Mr2 engine 122bhp when new.
You want a Magnex or Mongoose zoorst, but keep the standard manifold if you can - they're very good for flow.
Go here for tuning tips http://www.billzilla.org/4agmods.htm I doubt you'll get 140-150 just from throttle bodies and an exhaust - Cams are the way to go - the engine is pretty highly tuned to start with. (Throttle bodied ones sound awesome though)

They don't take to kindly to turbos - the GZE is a much better starting point it you want to fit one.

Nope she's a small port red top the last from an ae92 corolla mated to a mr2 gearbox

AE-92 Corolla the small port 4AGE (non-TVIS) made its debut, with 100kw or 134hp. thats from your link in Bill Sherwoods words

Ok, I stand corrected, I thought the small ports were circular, but after checking, that's not the case. The plate between the cam covers is different to mine too.

I'll be going GZE later hopefully - but with all the space you have, you could go 3VZ-FE 3ltr V6 by the looks of it.

Have you been on twobrutal yet?
