ToasticlesAe82 Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 Hey guys I'm new to the rolla scene, just wondering what cheap mods i can do to get a bit more power from my 4ac? this thread has been made way too many times, search the forums, same answer as is for any engine, breathing w/e but just buy a twin cam ffs Quote
carbonboy Posted May 1, 2011 Report Posted May 1, 2011 (edited) First up, welcome to the forums! :y: Second, toasticles is right. This question pops up so often it does get a little annoying especially when there's an awesome SEARCH function to be used. :yes: Thirdly...Cheap mods to get more power...is there such a thing on small capacity n/a engines? :hmm: Ultimately, a 4AGE conversion will cream a worked 4AC engine for about the same cost, if not LESS. Which may explain the lack of 4AC upgrade information on the net, people don't like peeing into the wind :wink: Edited May 1, 2011 by carbonboy Quote
ToasticlesAe82 Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 pretty much exactly what cboy said, if you're looking to play with other p platers at the lights a sohc 4 kilawasp engine isn't really the best way to start off Quote
carbonboy Posted May 2, 2011 Report Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Also, if you are playing with other drivers/P-platers at the lights, we don't really want to know about it. We don't condone that sort of behaivour here. :no2: Join a car club :yes: , go to a racetrack/controlled environment & get it out of your system there. No police, no pedestrians & no power poles to worry about :wink: a sohc 4 kilawasp engine isn't really the best way to start off My 2AC (according to factory specs) puts out a massive 51 killawasps :P With 98 torques too :laff: So you can see why I just bought a Twin Cam :lolcry: Edited May 2, 2011 by carbonboy Quote

JDM_AE71 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Report Posted May 3, 2011 thanks for the help guys, yeah definately not doing anything silly on the roads Quote
AE82_DirtyRolla Posted May 15, 2011 Report Posted May 15, 2011 hey I'm also new to rollas, i used to mainly drive commodores but felt like a change. i have been doing some minor changes to my AE82 sedan, just the basic low budget add ons (i.e blue leds behind the dash, seat covers, stereo, speakers etc). I would love to get a 4age however, money is a bit tight for me and i would rather do some basic performance modifications just to get some bang for my buck. i was thinking bigger cam, weber carby, exhaust, extractors, cannon etc. any recommendations for types of parts to purchase? cheers :) Quote

Edit: By the way, welcome to the Corolla community! :y: Always good to have another Falcodore convert! :P Edited May 15, 2011 by carbonboy Quote
