Bimbo's Drag Machine

There was a time when my friend Bimbo said he's gonna build a car that will run 13 seconds on a quarter mile, and that was last 1996.

Now he has this Toyota Sprinter 4A-GE powered screamer that will overpower any
Civic-owner-racer-wannabees.

It is speculated that the 4A-GE is actually a road-going version of the Ford Cosworth BDA racing engine, reverse engineered by Toyota as the bore and stroke dimensions are similar and there are many similarities in the engine design, making it a reliable engine for motorsports applications. The reliability and performance of these engines has earned them a fair number of enthusiasts and a fan base as they are a popular choice for an engine swap in to other Toyota cars. Bimbo is one of them...

before


The parts was chosen by Bimbo himself, building the car himself with a little help from his family resulted deep-satisfaction.








After

The programing the engine box was also done with Bimbo's careful calculation on the air and fuel mixture.
