Re: Aukword1's Beams Swapped AE86

Alright, so I have been a bit busy. I decided to redo the rear axle and put in an LSD unit since the car had an open diff. I figured I might as well paint the rear axle while I wait for a few parts. Here are some before and after pics. https://s14.postimg.org/g3blfezap/20180310_171842.jpg https://s1...

Definitely do it then and document your findings. I'm sure a lot of people on this board would be interested in your progress with this build.

Re: draw through turbo 4age!

the FPR makes sense if you hook it up to the manifold and can have it send more fuel to the carb under boost. Then you wouldn't need EFI and would just have to manually tune the carb and FPR. Here is a nice write up on how the boost reference FPR works. http://fuelab.com/11-boost-reference-fuel-pres...

Re: draw through turbo 4age!

Well first thing I would do would be to get an AFR gauge. Then from there you can see what your fuel requirements would be then tune the carb from there. Since you are not running efi I'd imagine you'd have to run the carbs rich. The problem would be when the turbo kicks in it would probably lean ou...

Re: Aukword1's Beams Swapped AE86

I had them limit it to 7100 because I didn't want to stress the motor too much on its first dyno session. I still plan to swap out the rear and redo the whole exhaust system then I will take it back to the dyno and raise the limit.

Re: Custom Clutch Line for SR5 to GTS Swaps

Xcessive manufacturing makes them. This is the one I used for my Beams swap. The fittings are identical on the slaves so this should work.

Not really, I just wired in a tach adapter so I have a dash rpm signal now. I am waiting for an adapter to hook up the dash water temp gauge as well. I still am tossing around ideas for the rear axle but right now but it drives fine just has an open diff. I can post a driving video over the weekend ...

Re: Aukword1's Beams Swapped AE86

The kit I got from JSPFab didn't have gearbox mount spacers. If you wanted to add them yourself then yea i guess you can get by without hammering the tunnel near the shifter. With the engine in the rear position with this kit I did not have to hammer the firewall.

Yeah, so I ended up just swapping the slave cylinder with the stock 86 one and it works a lot better. For the time being I will keep this setup and maybe eventually play with it some more. All in all, the original 86 master and slave work pretty well with this swap and I don't see an immediate reaso...

No but that is the plan. The engagement/disengagement point of the clutch is really low, almost at the point where the pedal hits the floor. I will try to extend the CMC rod and see if that makes a difference but I can't imagine that the Aisin CMC's have much adjustment in them, if at all. Well, tim...
