DannyW Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Picked my new car up today after selling my supra in the week. Not in the same league for speed but good fun all the same: Could do with a tidy up here and there but generally it's ok. The engine is a 1.6 16v twin cam 4age from a Mk1 MR2 so sticking with toyota in 1 respect. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Nice Westfield, my uncle had one with a 1700 crossflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyW Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 Nice Westfield, my uncle had one with a 1700 crossflow Cool, mines on twin webers, meant to be running 140bhp but it doesn't feel like it, i think it needs setting up. A guy who lives round the corner came and spoke to me for the first time today because he also has a westfield (i didn't know this until he said) after chatting for a bit he went and fetched it. His is a 2 litre zetec engined beast, boasting 200bhp, he let me take it out for a blast and my god did it shift! Made me realise how slow mine is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSZ Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 They used to do head work on the 4age - cams and valves + a little porting to allow it to rev to around 9krpm and a suitable hike in power - can't seem to find the info on their website now though:( There's always the option of a fully built lump though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyW Posted April 22, 2007 Author Share Posted April 22, 2007 I know the do a "track pack" of some sort which takes it to around 170bhp which would be awesome. 4age's can be had second hand for peanuts now too so i might puchase 1 along with an engine stand and have a nice little winter project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
