Has any one actually had any simple engine mods done? Extractors, exhaust and filter are one thing, but has anyone here touched anything inside it (cams, a 'lil porting, valves springs)?
If so what are they and did they bring any noticeable gains?
I know every one will probably say "talk to RPW" but I've already got the price list off 'em, and it a fair drive from Gladstone Qld (600kms north of Brisbane). I don't really wanna spend the earth and for those insurance scumbags, I'd rather the mods were discrete.

 

While looking through the Engine Conversions page of RPW. I noticed 4g93 DOHC. Could the DOHC head be changed onto a CE 1.8 SOHC? What would it cost ya reckon? And waht about the Mivec for CE? I've heard they're rarer then Polar bear dropings in the Sahara.

I am not sure of your age so I suppose most of this post won't help much.

I am 35 and supercharged my Camry and took out full comprehensive with Shannons Insurance, this actually proved to be about $30 cheaper than my everyday Suncorp Insurance.

I am hoping to supercharge my Lancer CE2 coupe sometime in the near future and I would expect to have a similar experience, must be the age?????

Also it is completely OK but the Main Roads crowd here in Qld to give a car some boost, the inspection costs about $50 and you get the little blue mod plate, then get the insurance and you are laughing all the way!!

Boost costs a bit tho I would reckon about $4000 maybe with S/C that is.

Did you do your runs at Benaraby??

 

Sure did... bin helping out with the competitor details computers, so I usually get a few free runs to test the stageing lights. Where are u?

 

Me........ I am in Mackay and sometimes visit the Palmyra Dragway.

Used to go quite often when I had the Camry Supercharged.
