I'm no stranger to cars or how to build engines or do custom fab. But I figure I'd ask the guys who know what did and did NOT work for them because I try and re-invent the wheel. I was very impressed with the timeslips of 4G61 turbo colts and have spent the past few days reading up on what makes a good 1/4 car but still daily drive able.
I'm picking up my 86 Colt turbo this coming week and wish to be informed on what is the "Best" motor choice when it comes to bang for buck and dollar for dollar. So far what I can gather for good mods are:
- Big Evo 16G turbo
- efficient intercooler setup
- 4G6x motor
- Appropriate Fuel supply
- Some sort of effective ECU tuning software
- Slicks
- Limited Slip?
I also have a few technical questions related to 4G6x such as:
Will the 4G63/4 hybrid be better out of the hole or just cause more traction issues? If so then the 4G61 would be a better choice?
My goal is 11s:
I live at 5500ft elevation.
with poor air quality due to being surrounded by a desert/mesa.
I really appreciate the help in advance guys.
