How much money have you got to spend, and how fast do you want it to go?

Stick to the 4AGZE idea.

1.6 carby toyota 89

:hmm:

I didn't think a landcruiser came out with a 1.6 carby motor.

:lol:

 

 

But all in all when i was going to work my old 4age a bit i was going to bore the cylinders out about 2mm and stroke the crank about 2mm, from memory that would have bumped the capacity up to 1.7lt

Getting the cams reground for more duration and about a 1mm extra in lift.

Adjustable cam gears

Extractors

In your case - bigger carby.

 

 

Basically its all in the breathing

The more air the motor can breathe in and breathe out, with in increase in fuel, is the main step in making power.

Upping compression will help with a bigger fuel/air bang. But go too high and you'll start needing higher octane fuel, otherwise you'll start blowing gaskets.
