Hey, I was talking to some very braindead sounding chap at a jap import place, and he quoted me 3 and a half thou. on a 4age import carbi. And I said something along the lines of, you fucking rip off, and its carbi! I want an efi 4age. He says they dont exsist, I didnt believe him, but just double checking!

but if the engine has been conveted to carby, it might have had some other work done to it...maybe
but $3.5k is too much - unless it has solid gold cam covers

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

a 4AFC was the only Twin Cam 4A motor and that had "little" cams on it.. Why the fuck do u want a carbi 4AGC ? less power and more fuel.. just get a 4AGE.. More power not as much fuel!!
The problem with carbi is that small amount of lag u get.. take it from me.. my 21R-C in my celica had that problem

Actually the japs put carbs on because it creates unreal response.

Once again, I'm prittysure it's not a 4A-FC, it's just a 4A-F.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I just asked a guy who owns one, and yes he is a bit stupid so I cant be 100% sure but I think he would have read it right.
