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?

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 don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
