Things got a bit silly at this point.

I needed a 4age.

A competition engine came onto the market and after a bit of research I bought it.
Its a FAT Performance USA 4age 16v (haven't made these for many years), these are an Atlantic style 4age for off road racing. O/S valves, pistons, crank, big cams.

The previous owner had serious competition results but ran it on race fuel.
I don't want to use figures as the do not tell the full story but the engine had allegedly made impressive power.

Probably a mistake but I bought it without the carbs and distributor as I had already purchased a basic haltech and had done the efi fuel tank conversion.

Pic above is not my engine, just a reference as to how these engines look.

After getting the engine it got a freshen up, It got a new exhaust cam as the cam had no dizzy gear :|and bottom end bearings. The head gasket was not redone as the compression was extremely high.

As it had run on race fuel I now had to retro fit e85 fuel pump and lines.

A loom was made to suit the engine and Haltech sprint 500 ecu.

Long story made short.

I fitted BT ITBs, injectors, fake TRD exhaust, 16v distributor, loom & Haltech 500 ecu.

The reason for not going coil packs is the race series, ae86 must retain coil/dizzy so no Yaris coilpacks etc.

On E85

Immediately on the DYNO the engine made this noise and the tuner did not wish to continue.

This happened years ago and I have not yet opened this engine to see whats wrong.

So please have a listen and make suggestions, I will open in the future to find out.

Again, this was a running engine when I bought it. I replaced the cam with an exact same grind cam & freshened the bottom end bearings, the engine was not split but the tops of the pistons etc looked good with the scope.
I cant remember the compression of the cylinders but it was extremely high, maybe up to 14:1 but my memory may not be correct.

To be continued........... lots more to come

An 86 is for Life, not just for Christmas
