Ae86

[Richard]

What are good cheaper swaps that give more power and still retain balance and handling?

[milesgetssideways]

rotory, ka, ca18det, sr. you saw what an sr is like. definately more than you'd ever need in a 86.

Mitch I needs das powers turbo my bluetop? Or would it just explode?

[shoob]

just cheap build you 16v.....how skilled are you in your 86 is the real question.

[mitchloveswalltaps]

if this gze trade falls through before work then.... im prolly goin 13b.

[Pazattack86]

id say build the 16v and im a die hard n/a guy but miles SR86 is scary awesome, and shoobs, GZE is awesome, but my inner puertorican loves me some 13b, but id say build the 16v, they are cheap

[Richard]

I'm rookie drift and learning the ways of touge I keep up that's about it

[shoob]

then stick your 16v for now, cou can rebuild one for for about $300. get some mild cams, and lighten your load. once you get experienced, then up your power.

do you have an electric fan yet?
do you have smallport "star" or aftermarket light weight cam pulleys?
do you have a smallport exhaust cam in your bigport head?
do you have a header?
head shaved?
port work?

all these are super cheap ways to get power out of your 16v. just an electric fan and lighter cam pulleys make a world of difference in throttle responce, and actually frres up some top end hp, that you can feel a difference in.

a gasket rebuild kit can be found on ebay for $36 including the head gasket. the rings can be found between $30 and $60, and bearingsthe same price. shim your oil pump a few mm, and drop your head off at the machine shop to have .040-.050 shaved off of it, this will raise your compression, but you will need adjustable cam gears to do this, oh yeah they can be had off ebay too for $40. bring your block to me, and ill hone it, hatch it and prep it for you. bring me your head and ill do some mild porting, i also have a smallport exhaust cam....

whats all that do?

shaving your head will raise your compression
lighter cam gears and an electric fan will free up rotating mass
slight porting will allow your engine to breath better now that youve freed up your rotating mass.
the smallport exhaust cam will allow you to build more compression=torque.
adjustable cam gears allow you to adjust your LSA and determine where you want power.
of course a rebuild ensures reliability, andoem new power to startwith for tuning.
the header will allow a greater scavenging effect in your head and let the exhaust flow free-er.

ready to begin?

POW!!!! shoob power homie!

[shoob]

lmao....the hatch was more than capable of drifting.....and has these mods paired with a set of keihin bike carbs and msd ignition.

[Richard]

Sound like a project time to start locating parts and a fuel pump

[Pazattack86]

hell yessss, ha shoob ftmfw i cant wait to get money green under the knife

[shoob]

money green needs the twincharged engine to be rid of its whored out, dogged reputation.....and aquire a new reputation of one of the baddest 86's in the states, and home here in the A.

[Pazattack86]

i know thats what i want for her

[Richard]

Shoob how you feel about 16valve turbo using a 7 rib block and maybe a dry sump system
