my AE86 build

[pandatrueno4ag]

april 04, i started out by putting a new motor in my 1985 gts coupe that i picked up from idaho speed center for $800, motor for $450.
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_2_full.jpg
did some minor motor upgrades like an intake and pacesetter header and oil catch can. nice clean motor and install, all done by myself the whole way. no help from any shops on any of this.
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_50_full.jpg
then i decided to change to a hatchback, so i picked up an 84 sr5 hatch for $400 from a friend.
started out like this, all gangsta sr5 style with og z wheels.

then the fun starts!!! SR-5 to GT-S conversion!!!!
i had to totally strip both cars down to nothing and while i was at it i decided to clean and paint all the parts and make it look brand new.
i had to swap the engine harness, ecu, tranny, driveshaft, rearend, inluding disk brakes(sr5 comes with drums in the rear), all gas and brake lines, gas tank, all motor components, guages, and then some. here are some pics of the progress...

remains of the gts coupe

ha, volume 3.0

today me and trevor(onlyaSR5AE86) decided to work on the car and get some things done

:)

takin the head off, decapitation
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_181_full.jpg

5 valves per cylinder

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_186_full.jpg

whats left of my old bung hole, trev helped me tear it up

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_188_full.jpg

drilled myself a new bung hole

EXCITE! bottom end complete!
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_190_full.jpg

mmm... cross hatch
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_191_full.jpg

i had to drill a passageway to re-route the coolant for the use of the 16v waterpump and coolant setup. this is the head before, the hole on the right will now connect to the one on the left and then a block off plate will cover up both holes.
http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/768000-768999/768277_192_full.jpg

new passageway!

volume 3.1 bishes!

me and trev did some more work on the hachi in the last few days

finshed up the head work and got it all put back together


intake side in the head, cool view
http://a859.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/104/l_34db21136e7f6706c7e4f206c617cc0a.jpg
got the hole finished
http://a791.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/124/l_2029e747369c6574f7edab9b0f7787ce.jpg
all put back together. notice the coolant lines up front instead of from the back. waterpump from a 16v fabbed to close off unnecessary lines for heater, and the top pipe was fabbed from the stock 20v pipe.
http://a14.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/123/l_b5e8c6d0be0b01f269f412f912f5eb65.jpg
block off plates on the back instead of coolant and heater lines, thats why i had to drill the passageway
http://a639.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/98/l_18b44843b8cc9f3ce743b9e729f2b786.jpg
ooh look at me! look at me! this is my megasquirt and ford EDIS ignition mounted to the firewall under the dash. all the wiring feeds to meet in the back so it keeps it lookin clean. finally done with fabricating this thing to work together.
http://a131.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/123/l_ba8fd40d5519a02c255616be2636de3a.jpg
oh wiring isnt too bad... this is my relay box mounted to my meagasquirt.

cute radiator with 12in fan. actually for a delsol.
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb207/pandatrueno4ag/DSC01100.jpg

coolant temp sensor adapter. i need this since i am not using the stock coolant temp sensors. they were on the back of the motor, but since im not using that part i had to find another way so now its inline, like rollerblades.
http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb207/pandatrueno4ag/DSC01103.jpg

i modded my header. cut off a few flanges, the old O2 sensor bung and the EGR bung. also added the wideband O2 sensor to it. you can kinda see it just past the steering column.

[Dos Plunder]

Thats fuckin intense! I wish I knew that much about those cars....but I don't.
I recently purchased and blew up an sr5 hatch...so I sold the shell cuz I didn't wanna deal with it. Haha.
Badass build though for sure!

[CHRIFFIN]

INITIAL D THIS SHIT

i thought it still ran?

[mittens]

nice dave, glad to see you on here. you still have a lot of pics and info left to post up. get a pic of your ecu plate all polished and mounted. and a pic of the 20v all mounted in the engine bay

[DubstepDave]

Looks good Dave. Your ECU should be ready (finally) within another week or so, hopefully. I will shoot you a text when it's ready and we'll get that shit installed and get it running finally.

[s13along16]

that is an amazing build. very envious.

[Jdmitr]

Nice Dave! I still need to head out and check this out! Man the time flies!!! Nice job!

[Tyraid2K]

This is a kickass build thread. I'm freaking loving your car.

[Dos Plunder]

i thought it still ran?

Well, it did... but it wouldn't drive. Honestly I don't know how it ran. It threw a rod and put a hole in the block.

[Monkeymilitia444]

Definitely a sweet build here!

[pandatrueno4ag]

thanks guys for the compliments.

if i can get more motivation and free time i will get more done and get more pics up on here. like mittens said, i do have alot more pics to post up. maybe get a mods list goin up like some of the others have.

[mittens]

make a post in the garage. http://www.garage208.com/forum/vbpicgallery.php?

this is feature of the month material right here.

[Juice]

looks good man! Looks like your taking your time and doing it right also!! Keep it up

[mittens]

here's a pic of the ecu mounting plate after i finally finished it. it was a simple build, but fun none the less

http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q129/sandyman_photo/0530081222a.jpg

[pandatrueno4ag]

thanks alot for pic mittens. i plan to work on it alot next week. Now have hoist back.

[InSepsis]

I am excited to see where this goes!!!!



I love the write-up and everything you did.


If you want to do some Tech write-ups for the section hit me up so I can let you post them up.

[8ZNPRDE]

Looking good David! I need to get mine swapped here this summer.

[Mr. smith]

dam cant waite to get one of my ae86 going

[pandatrueno4ag]

UPDATE 3-21

update can be found at the bottom of my 2nd post on page 1

[pandatrueno4ag]

couple more pics added

[TrevorsTII]

is she running yet?

[pandatrueno4ag]

shit, forgot to update this thing.

no, she is not running yet. we got the rest of the wiring situated and the base map loaded and went to start and we get no spark. WTF?
i think it may be a bad coil or EDIS module since there is power to the coil and nothing out from the coil.
im also thinking since i relocated my battery to the back, maybe the coil, the megasquirt or the module are not getting enough power to produce a spark. i noticed while its cranking the power gets drawn out alot and think that has something to do with it, idk. my cable to the back is not the biggest but i would think it would work fine.

i now have a good multimeter so i can test each unit to narrow it down and fix the problem.

SO CLOSE!!!!:trogdor:

[DubstepDave]

Yo Dave. Sorry I haven't come to work on the car in a couple weeks. I'll try to hit you up some time this week to stop by.

[Alec1gb]

very, very cool much props

[spazz]

updated pics?

[pandatrueno4ag]

ill try to snap some pics today when i pull it out to work on it.

[spastik]

im lovin this car :)

[nikuman]

David, you are not allowed to post again until it runs.

[pandatrueno4ag]

you shut your mouth and come over and make it run PAL!

[pandatrueno4ag]

yeah, updates...
i got new'er tires for the front, painted my pulley, did small body work, added cressida front lip, redid the wiring, got it ready to run but not running yet. have a few bugs to work out. so here is how it sits now...

[nikuman]

All you have to do is call me.

[omg its drunk scott.]

its so cool looking

[DICKARM]

Hey Dave, chsst chsst make that thing fucking work. Dammit

[Tom]

diry?

[makeitFit]

Awesome project. Now get it running so you can bring it out for us to see.

[TrevorsTII]

Great looking so far david.

[e2blade]

wow, that is pure awesome. so how powerful are those 20v, looks like the updated version if i am correct

[pandatrueno4ag]

tom- Diry? no comprende

makeitfit and DICKARM- yeah yeah, im workin on it. confusing plus im broke.


yeah, its pretty much the updated motor. they only come in the trueno and levin(FWD corollas) in japan, better known as AE101 and AE111
its based on the 16v 4age motor from the corolla gts or mr2 and has a different head and pistons allowing it to have 20 valves, 3 each on the intake side and 2 ex, and also has the individual throttle bodies, and VVT. the stock 16v motor has 125hp i think and the silvertop 20v(AE101), which i have, has 160hp stock. i figure with the velocity stacks instead of whole intake, header, exhaust, plus the megasquirt i should get around 180hp or more, i think.

[nikuman]

Not at the wheels you wont.

[e2blade]

so its just timing control not lift?

[pandatrueno4ag]

pretty sure its lift.

[JackV]

from what i know one of my buddies has the black top 20v its just timing not lift.

[pandatrueno4ag]

oh, shit, yeah. brain fart. it is timing.
at a certain RPM it advances the timing to get more higher RPM power.
IDK what i was thinkin.

[CRIMES]

this car's gonna rule

[JackV]

oh, shit, yeah. brain fart. it is timing.
at a certain RPM it advances the timing to get more higher RPM power.
IDK what i was thinkin.

lol yeah, it advances it a whole 2 degrees :P but makes a huge difference.

[TrevorsTII]

hurry david!

[pandatrueno4ag]

BREAKING NEWS!!!

we now have narrowed down why i had no spark.
-EDIS not wired properly
-didnt have necessary capacitor for the coils
-bad crank sensor

there also were a couple wires that had positive power instead of negative and visa versa.
here also was a re-occuring ticking coming from two of the relays on the relay board. we just re-did some wiring and ran the fuel pump seperate and no more ticking.

i had perma grin when i heard the first couple big bangs out the back of the car and an even bugger grin when we got spark after testing with a different crank sensor.

we'll be working on it some more tomorrow, today really, and ill get a new crank sensor to put in and it should start up. then from there davidK will look over the megasqiurt and tune the bitch....

will have videos

until then....

[Ballou541]

Bad ass for sure

[bcool]

Let us know how it goes! It would be awesome to see this thing trollin' the streets of boise.

[sixbelow]

Hey BRO looks like were gonna have a race to see who can get our ae86s goin first! Yours is gonna be way faster fo sho! Good to see you so close to gettin it done..... And your welcome for all the Cusco parts. Lolzzz Btw seems like ur megasquirts turning into a megapainintheass. :)
Jk brother if you'd like more help or just extra hands on Call me

[pandatrueno4ag]

Ugh... This megasquirt thing is giving me a headache!!!!

first the MS fried a few things inside it and i had to repair it. after i got it back we tried it again. after rechecking the wiring and configurations, we went for it and it ran for about 5 seconds really rough and had smoke coming out the exhaust, the first in 2 years.. so we noticed the cranks sensor was loose and we tightened it up better and tried again and have not had spark since.

also the lights on the MS wont light up again.

im very disapointed in this thing.
http://static.hometheaterforum.com/imgrepo/0/01/htf_imgcache_39064.jpeg

so because of all that crap i will start all over after looking over the wiring "ONE MORE TIME", as they say at D1.


more updates as they happen...

[spastik]

shit that sucks

[pandatrueno4ag]

Been a while since I updated this thing.

Some of you guys have seen my car at a drift event and at the hillclimb.

The motor plans changed from the 20 valve 4age with eternal complications to the SR20DET. Simple, relaible, parts everywhere, and good power at stock settings.

Here is a couple pics of how its been the last year. More pics to come once I can afford more goodies.
Updated mod list soon to come.

Boise Drift event http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb207/pandatrueno4ag/Progress%20pics/DriftpracticeJuly17004.jpg

So what was it that was causing the motor to run so weird that whole time? How does it run now? In for more pics.

[IMSCUSTOMS]

have you replaced the crank sensor? I have an aviner, i dont know if it had one, but I will look. If you need one let me know.

[pandatrueno4ag]

Sylas- I just had the wrong MAF. I had a DOHC MAF on there and they dont work so I switched to a SOHC and rewired it to fit. Started right up and runs great ever since. I also had Brian at BK re-wire my harness and clean up my wiring massively.

Ill have to look around for better video but I do have one from the drift event. The car that day was being difficult. I had interference with my steering shaft and the turbo manifold so it made it hard to turn. Something that it pretty necessary for drifting.

Fitment not bad for only having springs and struts. No adjustability other than the camber plates up front.

Thanks to the wonderful guys at BK Industries for doing my wire job.Wiring was shortened about 2 feet and "simplified". No more unnecessary plugs and crap taking up space. Used the Nissan fuse and relay block.

Taking it for a llittle drive...

3 inch exhaust from the turbo cack, no cat + no mufflers = very loud. Prolly gonna be putting on a muffler and have it come out the back soon.

I could sell you my sr20det mafs if you want it? I'm putting a z32 mafs on mine to go with my rom tune.

Looks good by the way. Loud sr is better than quiet sr. I'm running 3" stainless straightpipe from the turbo back haha.

[pandatrueno4ag]

I the one I am using works good. Is there any difference?

[pandatrueno4ag]

Im also hoping to up the boost soon and possibly upgrading the turbo and injectors. Its fast now but would be even faster with a couple simple upgrades.

[nikuman]

Just up the boost to 12 and see how it is, you wont need anything else for that.

[SRinside]

Well i'm not sure if the single cam mafs will max out before the det mafs since it's not meant for that much power.

And yeah stock boost is about 11psi from the factory so 12 is dandy.

[pandatrueno4ag]

I will try that. The ebay boost controller I have is crap so Ill source another.

Another update.
In my second run at the bogus basin hillclimb I had a lot of understeer entering the corner too fast and smashed into the mountain side. It only bent my tension rods and broke my radiator core support. Plus broke my front bumper again, but thats no biggie. I have to fabricate a new radiator support now and while im at it Ill fab a new mount for my v-mount setup. The current setup is super haggard and ugly. It works for now but is flimsy.

[nikuman]

I forgot which maf is which but the aluminum one is fine for stock turbo. Stock boost is usually around 7, almost always below 10, so 12 should be a decent upgrade. I ran up to 16 before and it was fine, but I wouldn't recommend it.

[pandatrueno4ag]

Yeah, Im only gonna put it around 12-14. It is already fast enough stock but would be more fun if it was just a hair faster.

I still have a few other things to get done before I can play with that again. I just need a few good days to tear into it and get some work done.
