Though its about time to start a build thread on the ol' rolla.

Bought it bout 2 years ago basically stock, apart from lowered springs in the back.

Since then i fitted some coilovers in the front, jdm ae86 calipers with vented & slotted rotors. AJPS rca's and RA40 celica lower control arms (same length as corona arms)

Then an ae101 version 4agze went in,

after giving a guardrail a love tap i replaced the front end with a flat front,

latest incarnation is a swap to 4agte. Im using a KKR300 fingers crossed it will be complete and running again in the next 2 weeks.

7th December 2009, 05:29 PM
gze went really quite well actually, considering it was running a microtec that had never been dyno tuned!! just a rough road tune when the engine setup was in another car about 5 years ago :omg: had the afr's checked recently tho and was fine. Ran great with the nevo pulley too.

haha yeah man, just fiddling with turbo placement tonite, gunna have to get a dump made up, was hoping a stock sr20 i borrowed would fit but didnt, just off. Manifold is also 20v version so have to get onto the drill press with it.

tomorrow nite will be measuring up the oil line lengths to get the feed line made up, getting -3 braided line with speedflow fittings. and hopefully working on putting the coilpacks somewhere out of the way of the heat.

what seemed relativley straight forward is now definatly not!!

gaz20v
8th December 2009, 10:18 PM
coilpack placement amended tonight
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/8/6/30915.jpg

still a bit of a wiring mess but that will be tidied up later.

measured up oil feed lines and ordering them tomorrow. Also checked cooler pipe positions, looks like turbo to cooler will be pretty easy :p

dump flange arrived yesty, wrong size unfortunatly so no real changes this weekend. Oil lines arrived!! another thing to work out now will be adapting a t3 style oil drain fitting to the turbo, and finding a 45 degree fitting to put into it to aim the oil drain at the front of the sump.. fingers crossed it works. Also debating whether or not to run water to the turbo??

gaz20v
17th December 2009, 05:21 PM
bought water fittings today and some water line, was going to get hard line made up but the guy at the shop convinced me rubber will be fine even with the heat.. lets see how it goes ey.

dropped the sump off to get the return welded in, will get pic when it comes back.

harmonic balancer that i bought to replace the damaged one a person sent me turned up too.... and is even worse that the original one!! so dropped one off at the engineers to have the front pulley lathed off, only runnin alt and water pump so only need the back one anyways.

looking like it wont be ready by christmas at the rate im going, bummer

gaz20v
26th December 2009, 10:35 PM
quick update, startin to think this thing is cursed, have bought 2x harmonics so far to get a good one (they both turned up damaged) and have now just used a damaged one but had the damaged front pulley machined off, makes sense as im only running the one belt...

also had issues with the dump pipe flange but have not got the right one.

also ordered the wrong water housing for the front of the head again, but have managed to salvage a damaged one i got sent earlier in the piece now.

ANNNNDDD borrowed my neighbours trailer to other day to go grab the engine crane to lift the engine out and fit the new sump..... and found out its not registered... and no, not by them telling me it was,, by the COPPER when he pulls me up and hands me a $506 fine.... what a pain in the ass!!

did they make the fine out to your license or the trailer rego?
Cos then you just ignore it so they send the fine on to owners! hahaha

haha that wud be good, but the fine is made to me directly, my licence being that i was driving At the time

GAY!! I reckon paying a $500 fine on someone elses trailer because they didn't pay the rego would just about make it yours wouldn't it?

soooo got a bit done today

pulled the engine up (not quite out) to swap sumps

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/8/6/32776.jpg

sump drain in the bay

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/8/6/32777.jpg

also plumbed in the water lines to the heater lines, was advised by a local mechanic shop that efi fuel hose is sufficient to use for water and should resist heat without trouble so running that, might just get some heat reflective sheath to run over the top of it where it comes close to the dump pipe. Either that or heat wrap the dump itself, thoughts??

R&D Mechanical
28th December 2009, 10:17 PM
heat wrap it all :P i should think of this on mine, also you didnt have to take the motor up to do the sump :P lol


lookking good man get photos of your water plumbing set ups

lookking good man get photos of your water plumbing set ups

hahah tell me how!! i tried but the sump only drops enough to pull undo the pickup through the tiny gap, and be fucked if ill be tryin to do it back up that way!! it wasnt that much hassle to get it out anyways bein that all the shit was out anyways.

yeah tried to get some pics of the water setup but they turned out shit, I used part of a fwd 4age hardline that runs out of the head to the thermostat for one of the T pieces, just chopped it up, its the part that T's out to go to the throttle body usually, and for the other was out of an s14 i think??

gaz20v
5th January 2010, 11:18 PM
so ive now got basically the whole of the intake side back together now, the only thing that is outstanding is making up a flange to take place of the cold start injector to allow for another vacuum port, need one for the boost guage and fuel pressure reg.. but some people are telling me just run a T piece in the MAP line?? thoughts??

also one of the silicon bends off the cooler has a split in it i found so gunna replace with a 3 to 2.5 bend and have the intake side all 2.5 inch instead of 2 inch.

gaz20v
13th January 2010, 10:42 PM
now some pics are workin for me!!

Water outlet off the head, bit bent but will hopefully hold up!! the water pipe off the gze does not fit the smallport outlet i had to use to accomodate the alternator tensioner, the smallport one is mangled as but will let you know how it holds up now i cut it short

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/8/6/34244.jpg
also a pic of the cut down harmonic, should do the job
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/8/6/34245.jpg
just a pic of the whole water kit for funzzz, decided to keep the modded fwd style setup instead of converting to all rwd 4age gear

17th January 2010, 07:59 PM
update, got a bit done today, finilised the mounting of the turbo, started hitting up the cooler pipes and connected up the oil lines. Also got some self adhesive heat sheild to wrap the loom near the turbo, came up alright i guess.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/8/6/34484.jpg

pretty ordinary air filter placement but not much space to work with.

next step will be the other side intercooler piping.. which consists of a silicone 45 deg bend off the t/body, to a 45 deg mandrel bend into a 90 deg silicone reducer bend on the cooler, nice and short!!

then i think it will be good to turn over, make sure nothin leaks and then trailer it down to get a dump pipe made up.

gaz20v
18th January 2010, 07:51 PM
other silicone arrived today, this is the inlet side and a few bay shots, obviously need clamps and shit but gives a good idea, reasonably tight in there owing to the cooler and radiator all inside the engine bay. But much prefer the stealth look along with short cooler pipe track.

haha put in some skinny metal one that came with the turbo, still has a small leak but not too bad.

removed the idle speed controller and blanked it off :P opps, now it idles better, but still has a bit of a vac leak.

Few more oil and coolant leaks to tidy up and she will go for a tune, although it runs not bad on 7psi at the moment, but i havent really given it much load.

16th March 2010, 08:35 PM
bit of an update, looks like ive fixed the vacuum leak issue and now it idles smooth as!!. going for tune in the comming days.

still looking like it will get a paint job also in the next month perhaps then maybe sell to start another project?? dont know what to dooooo!!!

yeah sux, but hey gotta do it, well I was planning on building another shitter later this year but i think even that is on the back burner. So gunna get a better family car, either a Mitsubishi Legnum VR4 or a jzx100. must say though if only jzs171 crown wagons could be complied!! i would be all over that.

17th May 2010, 07:35 PM
jzx100!

gaz20v
17th May 2010, 08:06 PM
jzx100!

yeah would lovvvve jzx100, i had one a few years ago and am still kicking myself for selling. but i think we may be swaying more towards a legnum being a wagon thus fitting more shit in the back, got 2 kids so would be nice to be able to carry stuff around if we ever want to go away etc etc
