4age strength

Post by keithmr2 »

Hi
I've got a spare nos kit kicking about i brought cheap for my 200, but im not a big fan of the stuff and the 200 will be quite highly strung when i've finished. Could an mr2 handle a 50 jet, i read the late one's had the supercharged bottom end so im not too worried about that, but i took the box off a spare engine i had and the clutch looked tiny is there anything else i need to take into account
Cheers Keith =;

well the stock GZE engine will easy handle 200bhp, the NA though is higher compression so might be more problematic to get right with nos

i guess there is only one way to find out :twisted:

one of the guys on the twobrutal website has nos fitted to a standard 4age. had 100 hp jets fitted , did the york dragstrip the other day - 6 runs with the best time of just ever so slightly over 15 secs. if your interested i can pass on his name or just look on www.twobrutal.co.uk he is an agent for wizard of nos and can give you any help or info you need. :D

Yeah Tony, it should be the late-type block with the extra webbing.
