Hasselgren Engineering Inc was the Formula Atlantic Series gurus. Engine builders of the Year (consecutive years running... when Toyota ran the series.. R.I.P.) Paul Hasselgren started in Formula Ford engineering, where his talent and super knowledge and team of excellent minds and hands performed miracles for teams like Lynx and the like. Many of the best racers in the sport today can say they were successful for all the hard work and performance enhancements that came from this successful shop...They are still the best in my view and still are developing many new technologies in engineering secrets to give teams and racers "that edge".
this IS a formula atlantic 16v 4age. Hasselgren used to build and maintain these motors for the formula atlantic series. The owner of this car works or worked for Hasselgren. I read an article about this car like 20+ times, while taking shits.
....normally aspirated?....go fig'r....wow! My Dad always said, "it cost money to go fast"..coupled with a great driver...even better! I just wish we all could have an AE86 with a Hasselgren under the hood.
there are shifters that have a dual bend in them to keep them either stock or shorter throw, but you are right in this case its straight up and therefore it will cause the shift to be longer and awkward.
the us had the 4ageC adjusted for california emissions. japanese,european, and other markets came with the 4ageU (universal) and the sr5 model came wth the 4ac, an engine similar to the 3ac in the ae85, but .1 liters bigger and slightly more powerful, this had two versions,california spec which had 70hp and 85ft/lbs of torque, and outside of california there were federal spec engines with 90hp and about the same amount of torque. the difference was mostly down to the smog pump design differences
my apologies. the they ran a different layout of streets of willow without the blowpass. also the track was harder back then when they filmed this video. if they drove those cars again today, it would be around 1:28. not quite as disappointing as i thought.
Its supposed to reduce the distance from shifter to steering wheel, the time that you remove your hand from the wheel to shift and back on to the steering wheel is vital for car control
that would be good!!!i'm only trying 2 say that this shifter is for tractors..there are a lot of choices in a shifter that's why and the most of the racecars are custom...i FINALLY agree with u that's a matter of preference....have some good laps and fan most of all..
@RfactorVideo "adding drag at the rear while make your car more stable at high speed" It will, but it will limit the top speeds.......cause of the high downforce.
I dont know what roll cage theyre running but if its thick gauge tubing the cage alone can weigh as much as a person, so thats probably partly why its so heavy
Based on the highest comments about the throw being bigger on a long gearstick what happens if you put a quickshift on a massive gearstick? Would that cancel out the larger throw of a longer gearstick and make it like normal? (assuming you can get these kits for the AE86)
I dont want to disagree with you either man, I never liked how notchy short shifters felt, heard they are hard on syncros too. I like the extender but its no where as long as this mack truck shifter in this video, just makes it easier to shift and get back on the steering wheel. Its all a matter or preference I imagine. Too bad you're not in the states or we could both go do a track day together and have some fun :-)
i'd like to see that car featured in the next Hot Version AE86 N2 race.With that gearbox and weak suspension i think it would get its ass handed to it. GODLIKE motor though. I believe they limited the engines real power for this run tho.
they are nearly identical the us corolla gts uses nearly all the same parts mostly just comes down to the badges and the steering wheel being on the wrong side, the motor is the same except for california cars because their laws are whack so they get less power like 112hp or something I'm not sure I don't live there, but the sr5 had softer suspension, weaker rear end, no lsd, a sohc motor, and crappy interior but overall still the best car ever nomatter where you are lol.
that's gotta be a great car. too bad the transmission broke :(. but so much money invested in that car, and my little mr-s clocked a faster time there.
well man i never said that they need my help..but i never have destroy my gearbox!!!!even when i used 2 have an uno turbo with custom gearbox...well why u don't make a same sifter for your car just like thisone and tell us the results?????
bravo!!!well i'm tired 2 disagree with u.and just for the record i have some races on my back which means my basement is full of parts for my cars but i never destroyed something even at the test days..so next time u'll go to the track for fun or practice consider your damages with your sift extender while i'm earning some rounds..
so thats wat happened to that 86!!! the drift king did it!! hahaha.. havent heard about it since.. lol.. lovin that car and the engine thats in it still tho...

I went to high school with this guy. He was always a nice person.

yep sadly not to be this engine costs 35,000 to buy from hasselgren
AE86 had a hatchback and coupe version. This is an AE86 coupe.
there are shifters that have a dual bend in them to keep them either stock or shorter throw, but you are right in this case its straight up and therefore it will cause the shift to be longer and awkward.
damn that engine sounds soo beautiful
i love hachis
The shifter is high so that it is closer to the steering wheel.
Ae92 was a completely different car. Ae86 came in both hatch and coupe trims. The ae92 is the model that replaced the ae86, and was front wheel drive
the us had the 4ageC adjusted for california emissions. japanese,european, and other markets came with the 4ageU (universal) and the sr5 model came wth the 4ac, an engine similar to the 3ac in the ae85, but .1 liters bigger and slightly more powerful, this had two versions,california spec which had 70hp and 85ft/lbs of torque, and outside of california there were federal spec engines with 90hp and about the same amount of torque. the difference was mostly down to the smog pump design differences
This is the best description I've ever read and learned a bunch, thank you!

フォーミュラアトランティック4A-GはグループAの4A-Gよりもパワーがあり、そして速い！

damn atlantic spec engine...
I have a shift extender for track days... and it sounded like the motor went, not the transmission.
wow...cool Setting

that shifter is some serious rat-fink style.

looks like when he shifted into fifth the gears got sheared.
The closer the shifter to the steering wheel the better man.

Ok, but what about a arm movement for changing gears?Its twise longer then stock shifter.

what happen 2 the car in the end?
that's gotta be a great car. too bad the transmission broke :(. but so much money invested in that car, and my little mr-s clocked a faster time there.
How did they bring that R34 GTR into the US in the 2000's?
Formula Atlantic FTW!!
left hand drive AE86?? i thought that was just a corolla?
Whats the point of big shifter?
@xXQuIkSiLvErXx
Gearbox! its going downnn! :)
i heard this 4ag is tuned to 284 but detuned for some other purposes damn thats a lot for a 1.6
patrickwithiforce Wow this is a old comment! 9 years later I gotta say, hasselgren 4AGE is actually tuned to be 1.9 L
that engine can put 300HP with no problems but for some reasons Iknow they limit the HP.
2nd reply, holy pewp this is a year old. apologies for the monster bump. Its on the first page and i didnt bother to check the time stamp haha
well man i never said that they need my help..but i never have destroy my gearbox!!!!even when i used 2 have an uno turbo with custom gearbox...well why u don't make a same sifter for your car just like thisone and tell us the results?????
USDM AE86's weigh ~1000+kg.
No被土屋開壞了😂
i knew the US had corolla's, but i thought this was a japanese video thus being a japanese corolla. struck me odd i guess.
its more suitable for a sequential transmission.
Hey Swifty, short shifters have no place in road course cars, and im pretty sure they know what they are doing without your help.
bravo!!!well i'm tired 2 disagree with u.and just for the record i have some races on my back which means my basement is full of parts for my cars but i never destroyed something even at the test days..so next time u'll go to the track for fun or practice consider your damages with your sift extender while i'm earning some rounds..
lol breaks car show ends
lol at the thumbs down.... yea its the 16v forumla alantic engine..
so thats wat happened to that 86!!! the drift king did it!! hahaha.. havent heard about it since.. lol..
lovin that car and the engine thats in it still tho...
The king was just to much for it lol
lol 5:34 translation "what the fuck was that?!"
where this thing for gears came from???of course and he took the gearbox at pieces..this shifter is for trucks..not for races..
lol tsuchiya blew the motor!!! hahaha. pwned.
TRD USA
LOL @ ur transmission, american, hahhaa
🤣
seriously, a carbon frame on a rolla, waste of money, and bad for safety
