600whp Formula Atlantic, Powered by A Trusted Toyota 4A-GE 

Thanks to Larry for doing an awesome job covering this car and asking all the right questions! You are a master of film and photo! Look forward to seeing you next time with this car. We’ll get a proper run!

4AGE still laying the smack down after all these years

It's really uncanny, cause my brain already associate the noises that the 4AGE makes to a corolla body. Seeing an open wheel track car making the same noise is off-putting, in the best way possible! What a car!

cant believe that I actually finished watching this 48minutes and 53seconds video without skipping a seconds of it. what a car. what a coverage. thanks Larry

Omg, the black on black color scheme looks so good on that thing.

The simplicity and efficiency of this build is impressive. So cool to see guys take legit race cars and remove all the limitations placed on them to compete. I was drooling over sport compact car in the early 2000s and always wanted to see JGTC 500/300 cars with modern turbos and the restrictors removed to see what they're truly capable of.

This is one of the coolest videos you’ve ever done Larry. The amount of thought just gives me so much more appreciation for builds like the hoonicorn, hoonipig, ol smoky, etc. Absolutely fascinating.

Great video, thanks to everyone who helped make it happen. I love the 4A-GE family of engines, great to see a turbo version delivering so much power while doing that reliably, always great to see. Looks like a stellar combination.

What a sick car!!! Sounds so good!! Great Job Swan!!! Love the #3 and the Black! Remind me of the Best NASCAR Driver Ever!!!

I’ve watched Formula Atlantic races for so many years. This car is really cool

Thank you for sharing this, I loved every second of this. 4age is my favorite engine and it’s so interesting to see it used in this application. I hope you cover more 4ag builds in the future ❤❤

4age is the little engine that could!🎉❤

4ag ftw! Have played with 4ag's for 26 years, such a awesome engine. Awesome build, I'd bust a nut in my suit for sure driving that thing.... 😂 Just to drive it around Lakeside park would be the biggest buzz!

Looks like that's a Hasselgren engine. I bet Paul loved that project. I can't believe you get that much out of them.

Excellent video Larry asking some great questions and your enthusiasm really shows in this video. Mirl was extremely professional and spoke really well as always 👍

One of the coolest builds, with one of the most underrated/unknown coolest engines Toyota made!

Palmer here in Massachusetts is a fantastic track. It’s relatively new. It was my first track I’ve ever raced at. It’s insane. The elevation change from the start line to the peak is almost 200ft. within about 2 miles.

I did the same thing, I used the 4AGZE block (more ribs stronger), crank, pistons, and rods. The 4AGZE is already a forced induction (supercharged), but I used a turbo Garrett disco potato, and its awesome. You will get a lot of power from 4AGE by porting the head (using CNC machine).

The Hallett sticker ❤❤❤❤ what are you doin now larry

This is awesome thanks Larry! And far out does this thing sound good too! Can’t believe it’s a 4age!

First few words this guy said I'm like the brain behind the eyes! The guy even makes it so I can understand! one of the best Larry!

I love the break down videos like this! It's so cool to see how people are do things!

“The Black Swan” 600Hp Turbo Nitrous 4ag Formula Atlantic 🔥 what a build, I hope there’s an Onboard video

Been an Atlantic fan a long time great formula for developing drivers and teams

Great video. I have been following the engine build. I have a 4agze AE92 Trueno.

Very cool interview. I still have my old Swift Formula Atlantic 008a in my garage. It was my third race car and I loved it.

they need to sell those black team shirts he’s wearing i would buy one.

favorite engine ever built

I need a Larry Chen movie. Probably my favorite person behind a camera

That car is insane! It's a real piece of art right there! I really hope you do an update video in the future when they are able to do the things he/they want to do to this car.

When I worked at Toysport back in the late 90’s the owner had several 503e engines. By dar the best engine Toyota has ever built.

Back in the early '90s I had a Toyota catalog that actually has 4age Atlantic parts issued. You could ordered basically everything you needed to build an engine. Back then they used dual side draft carbs. I remember reading that the 4age Atlantic engines revved to 11000 or 12000 rpm and made roughly 260hp. Later engines that ran injection there were estimates as high as 300hp. These were all crank hp ratings, NOT wheel hp. At some tracks Atlantic cars had to run a muffler, usually a Supertrapp mufflers, because of local noise ordinances. The Atlantics were actually louder than the CHAMP cars they supported.

This build is awesome! Thanks to the owner for allowing us to see under the covers!

Holy smokes, I live 5 minutes from Whiskey Hill/Palmer Motorsports Park. We see some cool cars come through. Spoke to a guy with a beautiful Porsche RSR with the classic Martini livery at the coffee shop down the street from the track.

Very nice, I'm now convinced I need to do a 4AG-TE.

Simply outstanding. Really makes me want to use his work as a model. Just Wow.

Great video Larry what a build ❤

Fantastic interview, thank you for the information overload. I hope everyone can have a bucket list Mirl

Sounds amazing

I knew it! 4Age is power❤

Need more 4age goodness 😊

It looks like masterpiece. thanks for sharing that very interesting video. That man looks very simply but what he did is amazing

Awesome. Really like the packaging at the rear. Love to see the F1 inspired aero features! I figured those additions to the suspension were for trying to deal with the tire squirt/wake. I hope you're able to add some more in the future! Seems like you could modify the floor edge to better seal the underfloor, improve the performance of the venturi tunnels, and better deal with the rear tire squirt. Also I'm not sure how difficult it would be to do, but I wonder if modifying the inside wheel covers to have vortex generators, could help to keep more of that flow attached as it goes around the sides of your sidepod where you have that undercut. Do you have a 3D model of the car? I'd be interested to see what it looks like in a CFD simulation. *i am not an aerodynamicist and have mostly no clue what I'm talking about. I just like F1/motorsports and the engineering involved

I would love to see a twin-charged version of this car! Have the supercharger disengage at a certain PSI just like the original HKS 4AGZE kit. It could be an electric supercharger but that adds more cost and weight.

Pikes Peak - like Bonneville - where builders get to drive their creations. Brilliant

Great video!

It would be so cool to see a race series or time attacks of open spec prototypes, run what you brung at tracks around the country. Maybe just limit max hp or budget, but everything else is limited by the builders imagination and skill.

sounds like a super formula car almost. pretty sick!

That engine builder... Matt? That guy down under!

What an amazing machine

Please do an interview with the DK Keichi Tsuchiya and his personal Trueno as well as his N2 machine. The history of initial D etc. Guarantee that will be golden.

Simply beautiful fabrication on 4ag turbo engine. I see NX nitrous on the side. He was the fastest Rookie qualifier but unfortunately got a DNF not sure mechanical or contact. Good luck next year wishing the 4ag some win.

What a wild looking halo

real racing type oriented builds with people who do stuff with their cars besides just build them is cooooooooooller

impressive, i can't believe it made it up the hill without blowing up! it must not have been built but hasselgren....jim kitz has been thru three engines this year.

Wild sounding 4AGE bro

Its a work of art

Wow. Just wow.

"You are crazy!" "Yes Definitely" hahaha

This is ridiculously cool .

We don't throw rule books in the trash... We make one that suits your needs. What a car!

HOLYYY SHIIIIIT. PALMER MOTORSPORTS PARK. Out of all the places. haha. I love running that track on my r6, it really is so fun!

God it’s sounds so damn good

I would pay to watch that car attempt the Mt.Washington hillclimb

Love it 👌🏽

Ur awesome Larry

Best sound ever

Super cool.

Larry Chen and Dino in Japan . Both men are my favorite street Hunter when it comes to unique builds, unicorns and iconic passionate cars😤🫡👌🤜🏽

i watched the build series on this engine, on matts YT. good seeing it finished, even tho its been done for a while :)

Best race live of my life.formula Atlantic at Westwood racetrack Vancouver bc Keke rosberg and gilles villaneuve .

did he say he's from naptown, woot woot gasoline alley!!

Was looking forward to hear about the electronics package

Marc de Vellis (the guy from the Need For Speed: Underground intro with the silver 350Z) raced in the Toyota Atlantic Series

the track in palmer,ma is amazing.

Takumi Fujiwara's car in Initial D had a 250ps Formula engine!!

Palmer in Massachusetts? Very cool track! Gingerman in Michigan, Watkins Glen in New York, Limerock in Connecticut, Club Motorsports in New Hampshire all very cool tracks to check out.

“Wow, 600hp in a 1.6, that’s incredible!” MP4/4 Powered by Honda would like to have a word (1.5L approx 1200hp). Ya, I know, that’s pretty much the pinnacle, but you also have to think of the HP almost In the context of Law of Diminishing returns.

This guy just wants everyone to know "the 4ag is well packaged"

A turbocharged AND nitrous-fed 1.6L making SIX. HUNDRED. WHEEL. HORSEPOWER. What the actual fuck lmaooooo.

Dope

The Halo design actually looks so much better on this than F1, we can see again the head of the drivers properly.

Amazing car!! So refreshing to see something other than a Skyline. 😑

Looks like Wataru went pro!

Saw this thumbnail and had to click just for the sounds

5 adjusters on each shock, that is shocking

This car looks outstanding. I wonder what SCCA class this would fit into with the turbocharged drivetrain.

Whoa.

Enjoyed that. Very interesting. Nice work 👍🏻

Ayee 👀

i need to see on drag test off this sleeper engine

I want one!

Rear third spring is nice. Is there one on the front?

Still watching - isn't this the car that they were using at the race school at Infineon? I think they were running a FA on a 4G63 stock motor and induction system (the evo 9's engine).

What if Takumi went turbo. Nice.

Maybe I missed it, but I'm wondering what the throttle body looking device is on top of the engine that connects to the cold-side intercooler pipe?

How does this 4cyl engine sound sound good??

What is the Tercel build he referenced That project sounds interesting, but can't find video

Must be a hell of a car to drive....

this is kinda close to those turbo era f1 cars like the m10 with 1200 whp. this is like as close ive seen in modern times
