What you gain in revs you lose in low down torque compared to your 2.0
The cams you are considering are only marginally more aggressive than standard. Expect to see similar WHP figures to what you already have unless you go for a fully prepared competition engine where over 200hp is possible.

Re: Surging idle
It could be that the TPS needs setting again. There is an idle switch in the TPS that must be engaged when idling if the switch is not engaged the fuel calibration from the ecu is wrong. This is relatively easy to check for free and the best way I have found is first to accurately scribe the current...

I have some TRD blue front AE86 dampers that on setting 3 seem almost perfect (for the springs used) I'd really like to know what the actual rates are! Also have AE86 Bilstein B6's Problem is... I'm in the U.K

Re: Surging idle
Is this an engine conversion or did the car come with installed engine from the factory? If it is factory then it could be the TPS. Try doing a diagnostic test and report results.

With the diagnostic port shorted you should get a steady flashing of the engine management light (EML) on the dashboard, it should not be on solid.

Re: AE86 Rough Start up
It sounds like it is over fuelling but I'm not sure that there is an error code for that when the engine is first started as the O2 sensor is not reporting. Have you checked for stored error codes? Maybe try disconnecting the cold start injector to see if there is a difference?

Re: JDM KOUKI ECU OPTIONS
Be careful with the universal AEM - 4 ecu if you want to run it with the original distributor sensors, the VR signals need reversing and the universal AEM cannot do this.

Re: New Annex Coilovers or...Old faithful TRD Blues etc..
I fail to see the fascination with coilovers, about the only thing that they allow over standard is corner weight adjustment, which if done correctly is a valid gain but who in the real world actually does it ? The spring being mounted closer to the wheel changes its effective rate so a softer sprin...

Assassin Andrew has written many great articles on AE86 suspension and I agree with him on the Koni's, they are a good damper and if you are adventurous they are easily modified by substituting different oil viscosity.

Re: New Annex Coilovers or...Old faithful TRD Blues etc..
Aim to keep the front LCA's at the factory angles, either by using roll centre adjusters if you want to lower the car or by keeping the ride height close to stock. Use springs to absorb the bumps, dampers to control the springs and anti-roll (sway) bars to tune the handling. I would consider adjust...
