Damn it, my post didn't work.

4A-GE is:

4 = Displacement / engine version
A = Engine breed
-
G = Wide angle DOHC, usualy the sports version heads
E = Electronic Fuel Injection

So saying it's a 4A-GE with a carby is actualy incorrect. It's a 4A-G. And no I don't think there ever was a 4A-G from factory. There was however a 4A-F in the AE92 Twincam with the close angle economy head.

I dunno exactly WHY a carby on a 4A-G is a poular mod. Carbies need tuning FAR more regularly (like, they detune themselves, rather than just needing tuning when you change something). They also can't be tuned as precisely (or so I hear). But they are cheaper than a fully programable ECU (and more simple to tune) and the induction noise is Phat apparently.

Edit: Oh and FYI, the C in 4A-C actualy stands for "Californian emissions profile", not carby. I'm pritty sure the carby twincam in the AE92 is a 4A-F, not a 4A-FC.

C actually stand for CRAP
