To put it honest/straight

If you want a stock engine, then 20V. Being factory it behaves well is smooth and pretty ballsy in the grand scheme of factory 1600s

You mention that the car will be primarily a racer, Then if you are looking to modify it i would go straight for the 86kw Bigport 16V.

My reasons are as follows:

Performance per dollar after modifications will be much greater. For example Big agressive cams for the 16V are more common (and hence cheaper) for the thing as are pistons etc. The bigport head is also better than the smallport for all out applications.

Or try it as follows,

- 20V (7 rib) bottom end with rods and crank
- Custom high compression pistons
- Bigport head with decent cams
- Aftermarket EFI

There is much more that can be done, Take Bills 200Hp+ N/A 16V 4AGE for example, but if i was doing some club racing for low/moderate dollars then this is how id go

Sure the 20V would be just as good, if not better but the amount of money could also be more simply because the parts are not as common.

I havent actully built myself a tough 4AGE yet but i have been on Toymods for a while, done plenty of research and seen my fair share of High performance project and race cars. But dont think im an expert by any stretch.

I have been rubbing flame retardent jelly into my self this whole time because no doubt someone is going to yell at me Smile

P.S. If you want a Turbocharged race 4AGE then forget all N/A ideas and go for the 4AGZE...
