Hell /o/, my car has a 1KR-FE engine, it has forged internals and a average piston speed of 18,2m/s @6500rpm.
It hits max power at 6000rpm.
Would it make any sense to modify the intake ports,replace the intake manifold with velocity stacks, increase compression and increase the rev limit?

I can revive the car by turning off the car completely, and starting the ignition.
I've tried cleaning the throttle body with some cleaner, a good cloth that leaves no debris and I've even tried sanding around where the plate sits at rest and it's helped the car stop dying, but today the car (thankfully) died at home, and regardless of how much I've cleaned, the gas pedal still continues to stick.
Any advice, /o/? Should I just replace the whole damn thing?

Shitty idling is typically a vacuum or maf issue, if you've cleaned it, then you need to start looking for leaks.

The only thing Renault do to the Duster is badge engineering, ie swap badges. Get the four-wheel drive model so the Duster is a proper 4x4, not just another crossover without a reason to live.

There's no real difference between Renault and Dacia Dusters.
They're simple and reliable shitboxes as long as you stay away from Easy-R and 1.2 turbo engine. 4WD versions actually have surprisingly good off-road capabilities.

Why do people prefer the LS1 to the LS2? Is it because of fuel or something?

The LS1 weighs the same as the LS2.
They're the same basic engine. The LS2 just has a bigger cylinder bore. And they're about the same price too.

Did the ls2 have an aluminum block?

I am 20, from Germany and it will be my first car. I have held back until now since I am a poorfag student and stingy, but Initial D got to me and I have a big urge to start driving.
Since I live in a big city and public transit is good the car will be mainly for fun.
I am looking for a cheap, sporty and fun first car to learn driving and do basic maintenance myself, preferably it should be a jap.
The problem is: all the sleepers got ridiculously expensive in Germany...a Miata NA for example costs up to 9-10k in acceptable condition if you can even find one.
What do you think of the rx7 fc? I know it has a Wankel, but here in Germany there are non-turbo versions and I have only read good stuff about the reliablity.
Do you have some recommendations? 2-5k max would be good
Just curious, but I will probably end up with a Civic anyways, other cars just seem so fucking expensive here.

I'm in college right now, and my friend who is almost done with training to be a certified GM mechanic and me have been planning our dream vehicle. We both love the 3800 supercharged engine. I have a non-supercharged 02' Buick park avenue because it is reliable an that's necessary for a college student.
But we both have planned that once summer rolls around, we are gonna take our saved up money, buy a used Fiero, take out the 2.8 and put in the 3800 supercharged, he wants to do mods and other things, and we are hoping to get it to push 300 horse. what does /o/ think? I love the Fiero's design, i think its gonna be dope.

>>16505430
I love the Fiero and fully support people getting them. But I have a few questions
>We both love the 3800 supercharged engine.
why? It's a shit engine design from the literal 1960s that hates making power and hates revving
>because it is reliable
So is the certainty that my neighbor is a closeted faggot
>we are gonna take our saved up money, buy a used Fiero, take out the 2.8 and put in the 3800 supercharged
The 3800 is NOT, I repeat, NOT a drop in engine swap. While the 3.8 can bolt to the Fiero transmissions, it's in a different engine family completely so you need to fabricate new mounts.
>but we want a reliable forced induction V6
So take an LX9 3500 and swap that in. It literally bolts into the stock Fiero mounts, then turbocharge it. You'll break the turbo before the internals considering they have a forged crankshaft. The 3500 is also a much more modern design then the 3800 and has nowhere near as much trouble making power.
And they can make a glorious noise the 3800 just can not match.
