what 4A for drift?

[driftke70]

water to air intercooled 3s, but im biased.

[driftke70]

haha damn fucking straight, bags the clutch in 3rd

also forgot to mention, if i didnt get a taste for power i would probably go 4agze, seen some setups pull well day in day out, in reality dont need any more power for hills/grip/track/slides and the reliability is there, and they have a nice power curve, sort of.

I started with a std bigport 4a and drove it hard.. Never really had any issues with it breaking at all..

Moved onto a 4agze with a t04b turbo on it, an aftermarket supra intercooler and a oil cooler.. 45+ events including a DA round at eastern creek with Josh "Motor Killer" Young behind the wheel, Alot of short track rounds, 4 days in the boiling hot indy circuit and a few demos here and there.. Not once have i had any issues with it and I've lost bugger all comp and 2 kw's over 18 months( now 145kw) ...

Has to be the most reliable motor package ever..

NO JOKE! WOW that is reliable!!! what ecu are you running? is the ze stock or do you have cams,head work ect ect?
and how much boost to make 145kw?

[driftke70]

yeah sams your car has run well for a while, my 4a screamed its narks off for almost 2 years, and is still running strong in another car, only problem i ever really had was a f'ed battery lead, which caused some coughing and farting, a flywheel come loose, thats about it. But there is a need for a little more, like you can get around in a 4age, i believe there is no point modifying them, just keep em near standard and rape em, then when the time comes just have something else ready to go in like a ze, or a 4agte or 3s or something,
there is something about 20v i dont like, not sure, just never really been impressed by one, like they are cool, but even if i had excess cash i would always have a 16.

[Matt-AE86]

A fresh 4age with good compression will do you well.

[Dom86]

4AGZE FTW.
I've never thashed a 4age for long periods of time, but my GZE has stood up to 2 years of 'drift only driving (abuse)' and still going strong. Including 2 back to back days in collie's 35 to 40 degree days.
It has a standard water oil cooler only, cooling a standard motor.
Forged internals standard F T W!
They are a great reliable beginners motor, with more potential when needed. ie, turbo upgrade.

I plan to use my AE86 for every thing (drift, track, hills, hill climb, hard parking - might even see what it does on the 1/4). I also plan to keep it all AE86 (minus the brakes).

I'm building a 200+hp NA motor for it, does any one have experience with drifting that sort of 4A. I only hacked it stock, no proper drifting, just a few corners through the industrial estate sort of thing and I found it fine.

So how am I gonna go with no power under 5000, shit?

[ae86hachiroku]

lo_rolla.

The power is not fantastic under 5000, but it still gets you going, life really starts after 5500rpm. It's more than enough power to have a shit load of fun and be competitive, though you have to push really hard.

[obey wan boenny]

I'd go 20v or 4agze if i where building a car up, somthing stock that makes good power seems better/easier to me than modding a 16v.
