Is an ae86 with an f20c THE car?
>>17871526
That's a 4-A unit, even says it on the valvecover.
No but an ariel atom with that engine would pretty much be the best thing for less than millions of dollars.
>>17871552
>not the Atom V8
>>17871552
Good luck mating it to a transaxle in your garage
>>17871550
I'm deeply confused by it. The intake and valve cover look perfect for an F20c, but the Toyota Plaque has maybe been added for meme value?
>>17871558
The V8 Atom costs over 100k, which is still cheap considering you can race hypercars but unrealistic for the average person.
>>17871559
That's why the K20 is far more frequently seen, but if you're building your own car in your garage you can do anything if you get good.
>>17871546
Do purists not hate putting the 3S into the AE86? I would at least think so. The only swap that should be appropriate would be a 20v head/whole 20V 4A swap or a 4A-GZE swap.
>>17871645
Kinda, yeah, but you see it often in drift setups.
That and 1UZ swaps.
>>17871659
Well then it's acceptable, but wouldn't it be just smarter to put an LS into the car then?
>>17871666
>Satan advocating heresy
>>17871666
Not really. 1UZ's are slightly lighter than 4AGE's so it makes sense as far as weight distribution and handling is concerned.
>>17871717
the 1UZ is also DOCH compared to the LS being pushrod
>>17871677
I wouldn't put a non-Nissan engine into my Nissans for a street/DD build but if I were to race them I'd get the most bang for the buck, or more like for the weight.
>>17871803
Fuck you nigger.
lmao 150 lb of torque outta that f20c, ill just put a 20v in it and save lost of money.
"The Car" would a ported rotary NA miata
Front mid engine, sub 2200lbs, 200lb torque, 6 speed and 4.8 final drive. It would smoke anything on the mountain no doubt.
>>17871526
lotus with k series
>>17871526
>Solid rear axle
No.
>>17871550
That's a Honda motor, just look at the general head/valve cover design, and the intake especially.
>>17871762
The 1UZ is also a lot heavier, and the main advantage of DOHC (generally higher RPM) isn't utilised.
>>17872165
Except at belonging in an AE86.
>>17872167
not an argument
keep sperging
>17872177
S/o/viet, you forgot your trip.
>>17871526
that body rigidity is from horror movies man I am telling you.
>>17871526
>meme car with flexible chassis and meme rear suspension, mostly remember because of animu, with a non-matching engine
Nah. There's better choices as a driving car.
An Alfa Romeo Spider with a Busso for example.
