AE86 discussion

[Craved]

LOL wasn't it an AE85??

[Remix-]

Someone should try mash an rb20 into an ae86 hahaha

[Craved]

ive seen a 20B triple rotor turbo in one... that was a quick car!

[funkymonkey]

skyline geoff just left my place, he was tryin to convince me to mount TWO 4AGE's in a side by side V shape with a sandwich gear which would send power to the gearbox. When I said no that would f**k up weight distribution he then suggested running 2 CA18DET's east west in a configuration similar to an Audi TT twin engine car, one at the front and one at the back, each driving an axle and using sensors to detect wheel rotation and delivering power accordingly.

In the end we just decided to stick to a plain old simple CA18DET mounted north-south.

[Craved]

sounds ALOT easier to stick with that

[confuzion]

this was my baby!!

Went pretty well for a old car

Arias forgies and other goodies

HKS GT2510

Haltech E6k

250rwhp

pretty damn fun.. i ended up selling now painfully going through import process

[Craved]

Thats a very very neat example... shame you sold it man!!!

[silver gts-t]

thats hot!

[Craved]

Ive been trying to convince my mate to remove the black stripe from the side of that car for ages..... this might just convince him for me

those black rims set that colour off really well, and the lower lip.... any chance i can find out where you got it????

[lwells]

4age costs about $1000 with loom and ecu

4agze about $1600

4afe bottom for a 1.8L conversion $500

realising that you can just put a CA18DET and get a lot more power... priceless.

Losing the sound of a 4AG(Z)E revving its tits off? A damn shame

Lucien.

hmm true but we got around that by using 340mm rotors with big saloon car brakes.... This car stops like nothing else ive been in!!!!!!

[fatz]

get a 31 sprinter suck!

[Duncan]

get a 31 sprinter suck!

p00f 31 are as gh3y as 86 but at least you can carry 4 mates in a 31

Look at the pretty little turbo down there Sprinta, about how much is a tubro ae86 worth?

[Craved]

you can carry 4 mates...... like in a skyline ... illegally!!!!!!

no idea if they came factory turbo.. i heard a whisper that they did.. but cannot confirm!

[funkymonkey]

ae86 in a factory turbo... nah, not according to all the sales catalogues i've got.

In the US the Corolla GT-S, and in europe the Corolla Coupe and in Japan the Levin and Trueno Sprinters, all had non turbo 4AGE's and other n/a variants.

[aurace]

seems like a lot of you skyline boys are ex '86 owners..

im in the same boat - looking to upgrade to a skyline... Have had the sprinter a few years - and although its a fun car to drive around.. im looking for something a little more refined.

[bootlegapparel]

mmm, live rear axles...

[upgarage]

I got an ae86

undergoing a CA conversion too

check it out in my gallery

[funkymonkey]

nie... locally delivered like ours. I got the trueno headlights in the mail, altho I'll need the fibreglass bonnet and guards to put em on, along with a body kit.

But first I'll concentrate on getting the CA18DET into the car, get my wideband O2 sensor happening and tune the ECU along with the Bee-R rev limiter (so I dun end up blowin the engine at high rev's like chris ). Just finished gutting the car, next step is to fill the subframe with foaming eurathane to stiffen up the body and then rivet the skin to increase rigidity. For now I'll just run with a bootlid with reduced reinforcement (ie circular drill taking out chunks of the support bars on the boot n bonnet) until I get the fibreglass bonnet n boot. I picked up a 6 point roll cage for $200 (includes bar that goes behind the dash) but I've still gotta get it from japan.

Dunno if I'll run rear strut bar as I don't want the rear to be so still that I lose traction, but I'll probably use a really heavy front strut bar.

As an added bonus I found that my car actually had disc brakes all around and a mild suspension setup (unusual for a locally delivered model that's supposed to come with drum brakes on the rears owned by an old couple.)

Found some orignal tanabe rims on a DR30 in japan, that's the exact same offset, width and nut spacing... 14" diameter by 8" wide, which should be more than sufficient.

Project's comin along nicely... nice pics too upgarage.

Craved: thanks dude! Umm the lip i got off a dude on the Toymods.org forum the email is [email protected] and they do a pretty good kit and other fibreglass goodies for the ae86.

Duncan: I sold mine for 12k but really depends as always what work was done and condition, some are priced crazily some less..

And yeah, never any turbo ones released
