"Legal Instruments in Switzerland
In Switzerland the legal prerequisites for
ambient and indoor air pollution control are
very different: The legal base for the
management of ambient air quality is very
good. On the national level the Federal Law
relating to the Protection of the Environment
(Swiss, 1985) is implemented since 1985."

So yes, the Law was changed in 1985, and with it the Toyota's started to come with the AFM Cat and EGR set up, so BEFORE 1985, it is possible that the cars came with the standard EURO MAP set up without a CAT!

:wink:

sorry to bring up an old thread but there's need of slight correction

I'm from Switzerland an my AE86 is an '86 model AFM no cat...
the law only got in action 1987 so from mid 87 all cars had to have a cat... there was no MAP equipped AE86 sold in Switzerland AFAIK in contrast to AE82 which was available with cat

hth and doesn't confuse too much

BTW...I was looking at the pic of the redtop pistons.. they look 99% the same as my old bluetop pistons I have here. only the little notches in the bottom skirt are missing on the bluetop pistons..

Ah, this was a great ol' thread, everything I wanted to know about this, but I couldn't find it before now.

Now I'm weeping over my 9 lost hp, but finally I think I know what car I have: A Swiss 1987 Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin with a 7-rib bigport bluetop 4AGEC with 9,4:1 CR, TVIS, AFM, EGR, catalyst, and a depressing 115hp!

That AFM-box is stupidly large as well, stealing all my precious air-filter space.......

Now I have to find those 9 hp somewhere! Or maybe go straight to the 4AGZE swap............
