new guy from Scotland

[The Big Yin]

hi there everyone I'm Andy and I come from Falkirk near Glasgow in Central Scotland and i am 21
I dont have an AE86 yet but that will hopefully be rectified soon
Andy @ Power Vehicles is trying to find me a supercharged or Turbo Charged one

[Hashiriya]

Welcome!

Turbocharged? Then it will lose all the fun :wink:

[adomz]

hello!
welcome to hachi heaven!

hashirya is right, turbo would kill the joy of what hachi has in it's n/a suit!

cheers, adam

Why would a turbo ruin the N/A, but a supercharger wouldn't?

[The Big Yin]

either that or get a completely standard 86 and drop this engine in





Toyota 4AGE 1600cc 16 valve OMEX managed engine on Throttle Bodies . . .

Originally built by Raw Engineering in 2002 to TracPac Two (170 BHP) spec. at a cost of over £4000 - ran approximately 4000 miles as such.

Now up-rated by Paul Jackson of BPJ Engines to Irish Tarmac Rally Championship high torque spec. (at a total cost of £4100 and with zero miles since) via:

Fully machined rally spec. cylinder head with re-profiled valve seats and ports - valve size increased to suit short duration high-lift cams - new 1089 profile camshafts (245o @ 50th lift ), 32mm inlet valves, new valve springs and steel top caps and 28mm steel cam followers. Cometec head gasket, 45 mm throttle bodies, OMEX 500 fully mappable 3D engine computer, uprated fuel regulator, injectors and pump etc. Also has Tollbar Racing unique and safety minded anti-cavitation re-circulating water pump system.

Absolutely fresh (can be seen/heard running in car) and would suit race, rally or road for Corolla, MR2, various kit cars Escort, Sunbeam, etc.

To Evil3f: Putting it simple - Roots-type supercharged cars behave like NA cars with bigger displacement, and that's because the torque qurve is exactly the same as in the normal engine, except for that the power is few steps higher.

EDIT: Corrected mistakes...

Gotcha, thanks man. Didn't know that. I love hachi's, but I'm still learning all the mechanical stuff that goes along with.

Hey, talk about quick replies! There's a nice comparo of power curves in a recent Road&Track SPEED Mag. They tested four 350Z's there, and they showed every dyno sheet to see how are their power levels reached. I can post the article here, if the topic starter will let me do that

[The Big Yin]

post away Darkstar I dont mind

This are from darkstar, I'm just posting em.
