how to add power to AE86

I've seen blacktops (multiple) pulling around 140 at the wheels in FWD cars (on a reasonably fair dyno). The whole warning about them putting out less power than advertised is bullshit if you ask me (maybe running on some very crappy fuel or something).
The same day I saw those figures, robokill dynoed his medium built 4age (oem high comp + catcams + porting) on the same dyno and scored about 130 if I recall correctly.

Water line kits are a waste of money when the same thing can be accomplished with an inexpensive coolant reroute on the back of the head, definitely not worth spending 600 euro's on.

At the end of the day, it will be a nice reliable OEM engine with ITB's with decent power (nothing spectacular). With tuning, you just have to wait and see what you'll achieve, and hope nothing breaks in the process. I have nothing against it, but it's not the wisest choice from a financial standpoint with those target figures in mind.

FABRICA MI DIEM, PVNC!
