Out of interest - Is there a reason this thread was kept open and here and the one in the Technical Section, where it should be, was locked? |

You could do a basic Cold Air Intake setup with a decent pod on the end, but once again it may sound tougher, however you probably won't notice much difference with a 4A-FE. |

Being different doesn't matter when you pour your money down the drain and still get blasted by bogans in stock VNs. So, in conclusion, again, listen to TinCan. ROCK ON R~R |

ok thanks for all the helpful info so far people. i know you are all right, the 4afe is a econmical, reliable engine and not a powerhouse, but i thought just might me able to kick alil more power out of it. i've been doin some research, and found some good news, just want to get some of your feedback on it. I read and was told be quite a few other 4afe owners that some mods could be done to get more power, as much as a stong silvertop 20 valve 4age engine while still being more economical. I will list the mods below: |

I will list the mods below: -get cams that are about 268 degrees -get cylinder head ported and gassed -port and polish -short shifter -good air induction kit pod filter -exhaust system -and a few other little things to get the compression up let me know what you think about these mods thanks I hope you've got willing pockets mate.

Do you realise that your going to throw all hopes of being economical out the window? Do you realise that the 20v is more economical than the 4afe to start with? Do you realise that you could do a 100kw 4age conversion for the same cost as the mods listed above? |

It's not easy or simple and you don't just get a free lunch as was mentioned it all comes at a high cost and your economy will be shot to shit etc.. Just do the engine swap, 4AFE is for grandmas. |
