EFI tank's that suit AE86 body

[Brenton 86]

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone has found a late model car that has an EFI fuel tank that will fit in an 86.

[Gilly]

Hello,

JDM AE86 :lol:

thats all i know

Marky Mark should be able to hook you up with one

Street car or race car?

I just set up a whole fuel cell and surge tank jobbie, on the race car it wasn't too hard.

Anyone got anything else? i really dont wanna have to cut out my spare wheel well :(

I pretty sure the freight company wont bring them from japan.

[Sparkle86]

I am told a Corona ST141 will fit, but I have not got around to checking yet.

[biggo]

word on the grapevine was that ma61 intank efi and braket pumps fit 86 collars

mind you i read it on that eu 86 site so yair. but if you do me a favour and measure you collar ill measure my ma pumps.

Go and buy a VN commodore tank, take it and your ae86 tank to a metal fabrication place and say pump mount and baffles from commodore in ae86 tank please.

Cost me $300 all up including new pump + all the work.

Dont waste your money on a ae86 jdm tank. Get a fuel pump that will do the job easy and help with any future mods with ease, has baffles so no surge, which still can happen jdm tank since they have a swirl pot but no baffles.

Thats what i did and never looked back. Make sure you get it pressure tested before fitting. Mine had a pin hole in the weld. 2 secs and it was fixed.

i got an ma61 tank in my sprinter that i recently bought but ive noticed they done a very shitty job of fitting it looks like someone with downsyndrome just kept headbutting it

Yes its in front, not really good for massive g/forces but we all know hachi dont have gforce unless you hit a pole.

My best mate has a child with Downs syndrome, I can assure you it isn't funny.

So how good a fit is it then? Did they have to massage it in, or were they just dodgy and bashed the crap through it because it makes a bonging sound like, ... like a hollow metal container? Also, are ma61 tanks baffled?

[Clinton]

would it be possible to get a metal fabricater to just make a tank for you?

[LIL BLU MAN]

they just smashed it in with a hammer to fit it, looks real dodgy =\ im getting a jdm trueno tank now =]
sorry for the first comment parrot didnt mean to offend people just wasnt too happy with it.

[sprintdaddy]

Try the Toyota wreckers in the yellow pages on the Gold Coast, at Ashmore they are.

Are MA61 and RA65 tanks interchangeable?
Both cars are EFI and share the arse end floor pan, would be good if they are the same as there are more RA65's than MA61's around!

with all the mucking around its prolly just as easy to go for a surge tank setup, you can mount the tank and all the pumps under the car (done it on bahnuggets hachi), and then you never have to worry about fuel surge again :2thumbs:

Agreed. There are plenty of examples of under car surge tank set ups. So do it right and do it once.
