It's hardly from the 80's as it's actually a virtual copy of the TRD Formula Atlantic motor.

The guy is a moron to have chosen a race engine which was specifically engineered for an open wheel racer that weighs < 1200 lbs and only runs on race gas. That car must run like !

So you're saying that the stock ~100hp motor that came in that econobox is the most respected Toyota engine even built

So, you have always wanted to build your 4A-GE to Formula Atlantic specs, you just couldn't find them.
Well, here they are, courtesy of TRD, recieved them back in 1988. Thanks a lot, TRD.

LOL! i wonder how that car would hold up against an S2000. both 240HP, both RWD, both 4cylinder engines. very comparable cars but i think the AE86 would win due to less weight. sorry if i went off topic but that car is down right sick. i wish i had one.

IRS is predictable and easier to push to the limit, solid axle in another hand, if you dunno the car, better not push it in the corners.
