Is when I passed out, doc.
If you hit the link above, know that I have long had the idea to do the same thing except to the 4A-GE Toyota MR2 motor. The factory 1588cc motor put out around 125hp and 105lb-ft with factory EFI. Sadly for the factory, the stock size mill was rated as good to go for 11,500rpm with Weber or Mikuni carburation, which added around 50 more horses and added 35lb-ft with the new power band.
Also, the Toyota Racing Development guys built a stroker kit for the engine that took it to a slightly less diminutive 1711cc’s and upped the power numbers to 145hp / 140lb-ft, again using the otherwise factory EFI. This mill was good to go for 10,000rpm and with a well adjusted carb system a new power band of right around 200hp and 150lb-ft.
Pairing two of the strokers would give you a 3.4L V-8 pushing out an estimated 350hp / 250lb-ft with dual Webers or four Mikunis that you could slip under the hood of something as small as a Celica back when they were still RWD.
Or, you could just bolt up on a pair of supercharger kits from the 4A-GZE mill for Ludicrous Speed.
I remember you drooling over my wife’s old car when I lived up there – Toyota Celica, RWD, all ready to supe out for the right person.
We actually sold it to a racer when I got shipped to Puerto Rico. This guy bought it with cash after confirming it was a RWD, and didn’t care about anything else.
