how bout the following setup...... 4g67 head 4g63sohc pistons and a cyclone manifold (if you can get it to work). That would give you good low end torque good topend and overall nice 1.8l displacement .In theory but how strong is a 4g63 sohc piston is the question?
The SOHC piston is weak sauce. The stock 61 head is good for more power than you will probably be making, only thing is the cams.
Try this set up, I promise you won't be disappointed...
14B
1G T/B (and don't forget to portmatch the intake or its worthless)
450 DSM injectors
2G MAF
1G ECU (pref '90-'91)
1G cams (I did both, worked wonderfully...retard the exhaust 1 tooth)
2G manifold (ported helps)
2G 02 sensor housing (ported)
3" turbo back exhaust
An intercooler of your choice. (I used a stock 1G)
On this exact set-up on my 1.6 I made 250 hp and 260 ft/lbs @ 18#'s of boost. It would spin the tires hard into third and break loose in first and second anytime boost hit. The next thing you will need is a clutch...the stock one couldn't handle my new power. Davis has almost the same set up with the addition of a E316G, Evo 8 FMIC, AFC and 560 injectors and he is making 295 hp at 20#'s...you should feel it at 24#'s w/ 100 octane.
