AE86 Gets Hasselgren Engineering's Formula Atlantic 4AGE Treatment - Part 1

Thank you to Paul Hasselgren and the team at Hasselgren Engineering for building Anthony his Formula Atlantic street-spec 4AGE 7-rib bigport 16V. Also, shout out to our friends at Trackspec Autosports for helping with the swap, especially Herb Opiniano!

Soon after acquiring this GTS coupe, the stock 4AG 16V 3-rib started showing signs of low compression and early rod knock. Luckily, we had a spare 7-rib already sitting on the engine stand. The goal was to transform this GTS coupe into a reliable car that could do everything - track days a few times a year, tackle local mountain passes on the weekends, but still be a streetable car with creature comforts like A/C, power steering, and bluetooth radio. Full details on the motor and other parts installed are listed below. And part 2 to be posted soon!
