Power hunger
Hello everyone. i have an '84 SR5 coupe.
dont get me wrong, i LOVE my car, but i think its common for us AE86 owners to crave more power.
now obviously my first issue with that is that its and SR5, not GTS lol.
and my SECOND and most crucial issue is that its AUTO lol
Is there ANY WAY to mod this carbed 4AC motor w out ruining it?

Easiest route to go.
sell SR5, save some $$, buy a GTS for not that much more.
Re: Power hunger
weber 32/36 carb
save for DOHC engine swap (with fuel system of choice)
there are other things that can be done to a 4AC for more power (good place for it here, http://4ac-powered.forumotion.com/)
But I would rather just get the weber, enjoy the car, and eihter look for a GTS or swap your SR5 for something better

Awesome though dude!
I really like that!
I think that a turbo 3TC would be cool to do too

Re: Power hunger
I actually just found out about how tough those are, kinda curious about running one actually especially considering that with a dizzy relocation they dont require cutting.
and they handle a ton of power stock block,

hmm...well it all depends on what the person making the offer.ive had offers from 2k to 38hundred and for some reason, i turned them down lol. I wouldnt let my car go for any less than 23 hundred. And im only saying that cause the engine and tranny are still good and interior/exterior is still all stock and in great condition
Re: Power hunger
heh heh...He did say AUTOMATIC and good luck finding a GT-S with that. In '85 the Japanese had no autos except clunkers and slushpumps that would suck up too many hp from such small engines. They've gotten much better at automatics now.
Now, if you get a '69 GTO with a 400/4bbl and 3-speed Turbohydramatic...that can still burn rubber in at least two gears.
Or you can buy something twenty years newer, with twice the hp, and that's enough to keep most automatics happy.
But a 30 year old riceburner with a slushpump? "You must be this tall to ride this ride". Ain't gonna make it.

Re: Power hunger
the real question you should be asking yourself is how much power do you want? also, how much do you want to spend?
i love my sr20det swap.
power - reliability - cheap
you can only choose 2 from the 3. lol

nobody likes a One-upper either. haha
Re: Power hunger
wait, doe the op want to keep it automatic? I wouldn't bother then. If anything convert the car to a manual, put a weber on the 4AC, and enjoy the car.
