1986 AE86 Levin GT APEX Coupe

I purchased this car from z10 of JDMYARD located in NSW last year August if I can remember. I believe he purchased this car from a guy by the nick of OLDMAN in this forum. It is a very clean car and was very original in terms of interior and engine modifications. Since it’s a late model AE86, it came with the black interior. The interior was mint when I got it, but recently the dash cracked right in front of the steering wheel. Very common among AE86s so I don’t think it’s a big deal at all. The car had all the suspension modifications done so it really handled like a go kart, it just lacked horsepower. Opportunity came when a member of the forums advertised his drift package for sale.

The 4agze engine was purchased from Craig, member of AE86 of this forum, the post might still be in the for sale section. The engine was used primarily for drift and it had been fully rebuilt with new bearings, rings and pistons. It is a AE101 Map sensor model and was tuned to 125rwkw. He only did about 4 to 5 track days after the rebuild. I had the engine tested and checked before the purchase and it was pretty much perfect. I bought it as a complete package so it came with the engine, 2 gearboxes, 4-2-1 custom extractors, intercooler, aluminum radiator, oil cooler and the Wolf ECU .as I didn’t want to screw around too much, that was why I bought it as a complete package. I had it retuned for safety and reliability and now it’s got 112rwkw with no pinging etc. I’ve since done 2 more track days on it (not drift), one of them wet day. The gearbox is a T50 in excellent condition. Has a up rated 212mm flywheel with a 4 puck exedy button clutch.

With the old engine at 63rwkw I managed a 1:51 on street tires at Winton. Recently at the BP PEDDERS sprints, I managed 1:44 with the new engine and TOYO R888 semi slicks but that’s with huge amounts of traffic and lousy brake pads so I believe if given a clean lap and good pads, the car should manage at least 1:42 around Winton. The car is not used as a daily driver, just to the track and back and is registered in Victoria with 11 months registration left. If you think track cars are a danger to buy, u might be wrong because I think I have looked after it real well, I change the plugs, engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil, brake fluids after every meet.

Asking price for EVERYTHING that I have for this car or as listed below is $18500ono. I did some maths and realized I have spent close to 25k on this car but I know I can’t get back everything I’ve spent. Hopefully I don’t lose too much.

2) Front coil over conversion with TRD inserts

3) Rear TRD shocks

4) Unknown springs but was told they had 8 front and 6 rear spring rates

Nice car, had a AE86 as my first car, put a 4AGE and suspension in it, 15 x 7" rims, had it for 6 years. Won't post what I sold if for in 2002.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
