Not to mention silvertop has less power, abit a few hp. Parts are abundantly available since they are still racing 4age in racing circuits and not to mention in Japan. But still, expensive, even for halfcut.

Dont know how much 4agze costs though, i heard that 4agze can reach 180+ hp. Dont play play... can eat dohc vtec

swap in a turbo and replace the stock injectors, even H22A also cannot fight

can or not? h22 turbo quite famous one eh...

if you say 0-400, maybe 4age turbo got advantage because 4age is lighter.
if you say long-run, then 4age turbo will lose to h22 turbo, bcoz h22 is very famous long-run engine, even called highway-king.

h22 doesnt suit in 0-400m, in my opinion, thats why many people stick to B series engine than H series.

and also, the lifespan of vtec turbo, approximately 2 years.

Ah. abubu has landed. This guy really prepped up his ae80 alot.

Just wondering, you people love turbo or naturally aspirated engines(NA)? For me, I prefer NA as you get precision control all over, rather than a big burp of power when the turbo kicks in after the lag pass due to the need to build up pressure. Sounds impressive but for Kuching road, NA for me is the way to go..

lol...nola...i din prep up the engine cos now the most important thing is good FC. so better not kacau engine..haha..so far my mod is jus 'modernize' my ride with JDM parts for the car. local spec is sh*t compared to JDM ones la...downgraded so much.

as a starter i think stock turbo engine or NA engine is better to learn la. if u wan to play, i suggest u to find another satria 1.6 and above body and plonk in a 4g63. satria 1.3 body is not stiff enough and to stiffen it requires u to do quite alot of internal mod. a friend of mine drives a stock wira 1.8 exi and to me, the car doesnt drive like a normal wira...the chasis is much stiffer and is really stable compared to wira 1.3 and 1.5. why? is it has stock front and rear anti roll bar and the chasis has extra welding points.

for my ae80, too bad its an LE. not the ae82 1.6 GL. the 1.6GL too has much stiffer chasis wif ARB. the difference is already seen on the chasis code no. same car but different code. plonking a 160HP BT 20v nonid to mod so much to stiffen the chasis d. imagine a 860kg car on 160 hp powerplant...wooot...hahaha

Driving a turbo car requires you to be at least a part time mechanic with lots of know-how

Not only that... you need to be very professional about the fuel ratio, the air, and many more things... installing a turbo, i think most of the mechanics know how, but to boost up your turbo, that's the hardest thing, cause you need to modify your ecu to control the fuel and the air. so far in swinburne i only see some kancil with turbo, myvi turbo hasnt appear yet. wira turbo i think got 1, last time.

For my case, i can have a turbo engine or current engine turboed whenever i want to and run it fine with all the proper settings myself but the problem is i cant stand maintaining it instead of improving it....i hate oil leaks
