Upgarage.. where are you located? looks like sydney in the photos! i have seen a sprinta similar to that colour at my mechanics... but i think that was gonna use a 20v or std 4age with side draft webbers etc..

that was gonna use 6pot brakes and stuff too!

have you sprayed the outside of it yet? are you using for street or just drag/track?

lol no red ... silver

and yeah these things are noisy enough.. so it has been sound proofed .. adding a rebuilt s15 tturbo .. new plenum in pics, diff just been rebuilt .. getting there slowly :D

Looks like I will be getting a daily driver AE86 and leaving the r33 gtst in the garage

AE86 comes with met brown faded and flaking paint, white bonnet, rust in the tail gate and a blown head gasket

Has 5 speed and Air cond :)

$300

Have not decided what engine to put in

My last car was a AW11 MR2 with black top 20v and motec M4 but cost got too high. I think I will put a 20V silver top and factory ECU.

so you want a N/A engine in it? There was a pink AE86 drifting at wakefield on the weekend, NA 4age .. was going good but something broke, needed more power fo the long, high speed corners.

what price can you get the 20V with gearbox and loom for?

I have not started looking for a engine yet

My blacktop 20V in a front cut and auto box with 13,000km cost me $1850 about 6-7 years ago. Was only about a 12 month old motor at the time. It took me 6 years to get the MR2 on the road (got married and bought a house :) )

Silver tops are anywhere from about $600-700 plus

I will probably use the box that is in the car and just get a complete 20v with ecu and afm for approx $1000

not progressed coz its a low priority...

we're spending some time recently trying to use the old engine that we took out of the car (4ac) gonna make a blow through carby turbo, with the carby housed in a pressure chamber to avoid fuel backflow. plus some thick head gaskets and piston shaving to reduce compression should see a nice engine ready for another AE86 shell :)

what about reinsforcement of the float so it doesn't implode ... prety sure i've heard this happen on blow through systems.

do you trust the gear set for the 4ac to cope with that power..

same thing for you Darrin.. i dont think the gearbox from the 4ac will handle the 20v 4AGE power and revs etc.. i havent looked into it, but wouldn't think so from looking at the one we took out of the sprinter here!

The gearbox should be OK

The 20v only has about 120kw at the engine and not alot of torque

13 years ago i had a TA22 celica with a worked over 3TG twincam a that had more power and torque than the 20V. They use the same gearbox.

That box lasted over 2 years of constant thrashing (I was 19 :) It did eventually break 2nd gear. Went of the wreakers and bought another $250 g/box

If I was to turbo the 20v then i would start to be worried about the box.

fair enough darrin, they just look pretty weak is all. shame we gave away and exedy clutch that was in the car we bought, no use for it.. the block had 2 holes in it. damn rod went for a trip around the block lol

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
