I can't say I've ever understood the thing behind saying

£x000 on!"
Equally, instead of posting that you shouldn't do an engine swap, you could post the information you say he'can't get here'
- i.e the information on tuning the 4A-GE.
That way, he'd have Paul's viewpoint and explanation of the more powerful engines,
and
the information about tuning his 4A-GE.
By posting saying
"WHY DOES EVERYONE INSIST ON ENGINE SWAP?" you've actually provided less information than Paul on tuning the 4A-GE.
In short, stop trying to be so god damn argumentative.
I don't see any of this xxxx on other forums I use!

It's actually pretty angering when you think about it, i'm offering the best advice(in my opinion) to the OP, and wether that advice is taken or not i am entitled to air my view the same as anyone else, in fact considering i've made this topic my lifes work to then be told it's shameful that i'm allowed to post makes me angry just thinking about it.
I'll say what i like whenever i like, if you don't agree then counter my opinion with a valid reply, tell me why i'm wrong(in your non shameful opinion) and the OP can make his own mind up, but don't ever ever say it's a shame i'm allowed to post on the subject at all!

If you read through this thread from beginning to end you'll see that we have discussed possible methods of supercharging the 4A
Which is exactly the question Sherwin asked in the first place

So, I guess it boils down to:
Do you want to specifically tune the 4AGE for the sake of having a 4AGE, or do you just want more power?

They always go this route with this particular discussion topic.

One of these with ITBs and an uprated c64 gearbox would be great in a tarmac rally or sprint car

Some people need to learn to respect others.
