T4 frustration, Got me thinking conversion Options

[jeffdon]

I have been plagued by a series of issues over the last few years with getting my T4 running well. Some of it due to my screw ups, some just bad luck.

I keep thinking how nice it would be to have an engine that just starts and runs, and has more power. Subie maybe. But I sure like the couple of Honda V6 conversions I have seen.

Anyone here that has done a conversion and regretted it?

I have done a lot of things for myself just for the fun of it. But the best thing I ever did was working with McMark on my engine. Despite my multiple attempts to kill it, it still works. If you are not having fun trying to fix the problems and don't have the thrill of tracking problems down, then send it to McMark.

I would go 2056, have him set it up with MicroSquirt FI and ignition and you are done for a long time. You bypass potential (I said potential) carb frusrtration and have a system you can tune to meet your needs not someone else's. It is my opinion that you wil never fully get the performance out of any mods like going to 2056 with stock FI and if you want it just to work modern FI control is the way to go.

There is probably dyno data that contradicts my seat of the pants feelings. But i think there is some advantage to big valve. But if you chose this, go with bigger throttle body.
