Cams doubt

16v:

? With a "custom 16v", one of my fears is the reliability (i don't want 200hp) i think about 150 would be good...i don't know if the engine will break in 20.000km.

+ my stock?: I have in the garage one bigport 7 rib and one bigport 3 rib, as I have learned here i would take the 3 rib

+ i don't have to homologate this engine customize

20v

+ Will be a stock engine, it give me more trust with reliability

- I don't have parts of 20 in my garage

- I'll have to homologate this engine


Other option?? ....Is so difficult to made an 7AGE?? (i didn't think it)
I think is not so easy like "mount one stock 4a head in a stock 7afe block" and runs a lot...to make it runs must do more than cams (usable at med rpm too) and HC pistons??

Sorry for this headache mates!!

I would build a hybrid with 7 rib block with small port head and early internals from the 3 rib block. Throw in the large port cams and you will be close to 140 hp. This would be bullit proof and have a nice response. Even better if you lighten the flywheel You should check out Beans and Dans builds!

Next step: Head work, raised CR, cams, ECU, Exhaust...
