AE86 Transplant SOLD

Vision
This car started out as a automtic sr5 with very little rust. Originally I wanted to do something nobody had done yet in Hawaii. Before this we had done the 4agze, ae101 20v, and a handfull of 4age swaps into the sr5. I wanted to try the 3sgte swap and keep it toyota but the prices on upgrade parts are just outrageous and hard to come by! That's about when one of my friends came up with the idea (or more like a dare )to put the sr20det in it. Yeah yeah I know all you ae86 fans are saying it's blasphemy! love it or hate it...we did it regardless.

Step 1: Dropping it in.

Engine Mount

To my surprise everything was pretty straight forward all that needed to be done was make custom engine mounts and trans mounts to get it in. we decided to drop the subframe about a 1/2 inch to get a good angle on the driveshaft, for hood clearance, and so we didin't have to bang out the trans. tunnel to much. When that was done we moved the engine and trans as far forward as we could go just to get the shifter into a place where it wasn't hitting the e-brake everytime you shift into 2nd,,4th,or reverse, then Welded the mounts to there new position and ~voila~~ it fits like a glove.

If you are thinking about trying this swap I would really invest in getting a manual rack set-up before doing your mounts, it'll give you waaaay more room to work with especially when it comes time to fabricate the downpipe, and for extra clearance when replacing the clutch. Note: I went with a v-mount set-up but this swap should fit fine with the ae86 radiator in it's stock location.

step 2: wiring the motor.
By far this was one of the easiest motors to wire into the sr5 ae86's. you need to extend the 02 sensor plug, the AFM plug, and alternator plug. Then hook up a few power and ground wires from the SR main harness to the Toyota harness and you're done, pretty simple huh, We thought so.

Note: being the sr5 model is carb. Not EFI, it has no existing wiring for a fuel pump. So I wired an inlne fuel pump (see pic below) to a relay instead. If it was a GTS model you could still wire the harness to turn on an in-tank pump.

Fuel lines to pump

Fuel Pump & Cell

step 3: fabrication (the fun part, thanks lance!)

Notice how the downpipe just clears the steering shaft and the frame rail.

I would have to say the downpipe is a real pain in the ass to do. We started with tracing the pattern of the stock turbo exhaust gasket and had one cut out. Since a 3" pipe cannot fit thru the opening between the steering column and the frame rail we had to use a 2.5 inch pipe and massage it in there then expand it to 3" at the bottom. There is very little room for anything to pass thru, even getting this downpipe (see pic) on requires us to remove the steering shaft to gain clearance. A v-band clamp would have worked out well but unfortunately we didn't have access to one at the time, so we worked with what we had.

the "low-down":
Currently the motor is running with stock internals @ about 9 psi. it feels really good and has a hard time maintaining traction all the way thru 3rd gear. We haven't had a chance to dyno the car yet and I am planning to raise the boost to about 14psi and see what happens.

The car still has a lot more work that needs to be finished up, unfortunately I rarely find the time to work on it.

My friend is running another sr20det ae86 down here and is currently hitting about 340 HP to the wheels stock internals. I probably won't be going to that extreme...yet. You can check out his car below.

66 Impala ~ Belistik Rat
~ in progress COMPLETED

Before

Vision
we will do everything in house. When it's done we should be left with a wicked looking beast, ol school!

A work in progress
When the car first came to us it had no interior in it , no brakes, 4 different rims, no windows, but the body was pretty straight and it started up (which was pretty amazing being it sat for years!).Now for you import guys reading this…. the 66 impala came with 4 wheel drum brakes non-power assist, this needed to be addressed since we are trashing the stock motor and dropping in something a little more punchy, the stock drums just won't cut it. Thanks to "white boy" we scored some spare front drum to disc brake conversion brackets. we yanked the brake master , booster, and proportioning valve out of a 8? Monte carlo ss that we bought for a couple hundred bucks along with the engine and transmission hoping we could make everything fit in the impala, which we did successfully.

Monte booster/prop. valve/master ~Installed~

Monte Carlo SS brake booster

70-77 Camaro calipers, 69-72 Chevelle rotors

we're "rat" like that so we're just cutting out the big problem areas of rust and patching sheetmetal back into it instead of ordering all new body parts like the floor pan or trunk (which actually would be the right thing to do)….fuck that, we ain't rich.

rear well patches

wheel well patch

driver floor patch "welded and seam sealed"

Upon putting the car up on the lift we saw that the mounting point for one of the trailing arms had been completely ripped out of the frame (see pic below).

  
   hole-y crap!

So we needed to make a new mount and weld it back into place (see pic below).

replacement plate for frame

trailing arm back in place

As of now the bodywork has been completed, so we are in the process of painting the car.

mark hard at work	we paint without spray booths!!!	Where'd the rust go?
Here are the fender wells finished	The engine bay complete	Closeup on the color

Check back later to see the progress...

BELISTIK RAT UPDATE 7/2/2006
The Belistik Rat got its body painted and is slowly going back together. This project got a August '06 deadline but As you can see (below), we've got a long way to go.

BELISTIK RAT UPDATE (pics)9/14/2006

update: 1-11-2007

we actually finished this project by our due date less a few minor things. I'm really glad we got a chance to build it, even though it was a pain in the a$$ to work on i would have too say that it's also one of the most satisfying builds i've done for awhile. I can't wait to get the bags in and take it on a long drive! As for now we still need to put in the air bags, switch out the dubs for some 15" hubs and we're back on the street raising hell!

EF TEST VEHICLE - superlap series
(OR AS WE LIKE TO CALL IT THE TEST-HICLE):

Vision
This car is the one we use at superlap series (time attck). We purchased the car in great condition from a local towyard for $300. Unfortunately it was the DX model (DPFI fuel efficient P.O.S with probably around 80 hp.) but the body straight and the a/c was ice cold so we couldn't refuse. Now since we were on a strict budget (actually NO budget) for this car we decided to just race with the stock motor until we blow it up.

Frankenstein
I had some used coilovers (the cheap sleeve type) laying around along with some used front upper, rear upper, and rear lower strut braces. I set the suspension up backwards (hoping to reduce understeer in the corners by letting the front dive down easier and gain some traction), 6kg front and 8kg rear coilover springs on the stock struts, added the strut tower bars, then gutted the entire interior. For the rims we used some 15x7 spoon knock-offs, heres the funny part…since we couldn't afford to buy 4 good tires we bought 2 falken 615's 205-50-15 for the front and used falken ze512's 205-50-15 on the rear ( don't ever try and do any racing on these ze512's, they are awful!). for the final touches we added a race seat and a nardi wheel for competition and we're off !!

The first event we attended was a real learning experience. With basically a stock car that was gutted we got bumped into the "unlimited class"…go figure?? Oh well no use crying about it, we just wanted to see if those generic parts really worked, so we paid the fee and signed in for our number (4UF or car number 4 unlimited FWD class). Surprisingly the car felt really good around the turns even with the major lack of horsepower we could still enter the turns at a decent speed. But after a couple of laps we lost all braking, the day was over for us really quickly. But We managed to put a time of 46.74 on the board. For the next superlap we flushed out the 15 year old brake fluid and replaced it with superblue fluid (this stuff works wonders!!), put in x-drilled rotors, and fresh stock pads. we also pounded the fenders out because we wanted to to see what would happen if we spaced the rims out an inch in the front and rear and added a tachometer so we could tell where the hell I was shifting at. From the first race I really liked the way the car was handling but I thought we should lower the car another inch and do an alignment, backyard style( which is done with a tape measure, and the good ole calibrated eyeball).

Nothin that duct tape can't fix!

This time I really got to push it because the brakes were working perfectly and I could brake a lot later coming into turns. We ran all day with no problems, except for a small crash coming out of the chicane that left our front bumper smashed into a few pieces.

We managed to drop almost 2 seconds off our previous time to hit a 44.9! But still, if you look at the posted times on the link below you'll see that the time we are running is up there with the Subaru's and some other vehicles with 2/3 times the HP as our civic has….we are way outclassed in HP. but not too far behind.

EF UPDATE 7/1/2006
The EF is getting re-done since we don't have a racetrack anymore. We've decided to chop the mutherfucker up and "mirror" our impala for an upcoming show! We got a 2-month deadline on this car -- August '06 is our target.

update: 1-11-2007

*below you'll see a pic of it completed...we didn't even get too have fun with it becuase immediately after the august show someone bought it from us....oh well it was interesting while it lasted!

*and for you people who emailed me about the pics of the wires below....that was a wire tuck/shaved engine bay we did , the wires you see is all thats left of the main harness but running thru the frame rails (so basically lights,fan,horn....the inside shot is the main harness pulled into the cabin along with the (engine bay) fuse box, ignitor, map sensor, and the fan relays, ground points , etc. And the inside pic of that thing sticking up sky high is our extended shifter.
