Re: Need Some Advice for ball bearings??

Yea bro that might be the case, i bought an fb rx7 with that issue, thought it was the bearing and changed the bearing and axle wouldnt go in, then notices a slight wobble on the axle when rolled on a flat surface so i got a new "true" axle and still wouldnt go in thats when i knew it was ...

Re: Need Some Advice for ball bearings??

I had a very similar situation like this before and in my experience it was a nightmare because i bent the whole housing on one side :(....this might be the case if one axle goes in fine and one doesnt...but other than that it shouldn't be hard at all, light used of a slide hammer and patience goes ...

Re: AE86 SR5 Rear End?

All im saying is the Sr5 rear will hold up no probelm, but dont expect a dramatic performance gain from a 4ag vs a 4ac with a 4.1 or even less 3.9 final drive. Honestly, the 4ag is only producing about 20 more hp and 15ft-lbs of torque more than a 4ac, probably a solid strong 4ac makes about the sam...

Re: AE86 SR5 Rear End?

The SR5 rear axle is more the adequate for a stock 4AGE. The SR-5 axle [S series 6.38 ring gear] will have a 3.9 ratio or a 4.10 axle ratio. The axle is probably the 4.10 since the original car was an automatic. This ratio, actually better suits the power band of the 4AGE engine. Dave W i completel...

Re: First drive after gts swap, car struggling.

I ended up spending 3 bucks a piece. Only thing is that you have to reuse your old injector connector rubber boots. Mine were ratty, so I found some at the junk yard. If you really wanna go cheap and don't need brand new, I found most dohc cars from around the same age share the same type of inject...

Re: Does TVIS affect idle?

I have been running for several years without the TVIS system, and have not had any issues. If the engine is in good shape, you should be able to adjust the throttle stop and air bleed, once it's up to temp. I'm idling just around 1,000 RPM, with a lite Wt flywheel and crank pulley. Before installi...

Hello ill keep it simple, i tried looking for thread but found nothing close...so at some point someone yanked the tvis or more like gutted the system, so its permanently open and my big question is does this effect idle?
