Ok guys! so ive finally had the time to install the msd tach adapter annnnnnnnnnnd………… NOTHING lol so now im lost lol is there another wire for the usdm tach that looks similar to the tacho whire?

Thanks guys! Always good help. I just hate my aftermarket rpm gauge and want to get my oem one working. So I'm assuming this msd adapter will work like the oem igniter would in terms of the rpm signal? Should be super simple to set up to my msd box

so ik this is probably on the site somewhere but the search is kinda weird lol but this will prob be a quick one for you guys. so when i bought my usdm 86 3 years ago it just never had a working rpm gauge. finally got sick of looking at my aftermarket rpm gauge and decided to find what i think is th...

just wondering if anybody has one of these lying around that they would get rid of for cheap. I don't need the fan clutch just the fan its self! thanks!

so I drifted all last year with my ae86 sr5 and decided the 6.3 rear end has pretty crap gears in it. and no I don't know if its the 4.10 or 3.9 in there now I just know I need something better. I DOOOO know that the gts rear end has a bunch of options for gear sets ( I have a 4.77 gear set lying ar...

so ive finally got this beast to start up and the turbo sounds sooo good! BUT I cant get this thing to idle. I have to keep blipping thr throttle. so I found a huge vacuum leak and fixed that. still the same result. advanced timing, same. retarted timing, same! but something strange happened when I ...

so whats up guys! the turbo kit is pretty much done! got all the piping and oil lines ran and the motor is ready to drop in this weekend! I tried posting pics of how the motor is looking currently but the website was giving me issues again haha so ill see If I can get some pics on here this weekend ...

sorry for the small pictures but this forum doesn't want me to post them I guess hahaha but here is the progress so far. the turbo is mounted along with the dcoe weber carb

It looks pretty interesting. Can't wait to hear what it will sound like. BTW you can use this website to host images on this forum. https://postimg.org There are plenty of websites ppl use just wouldnt recommend using photobucket cause they're assholes. yea it deff looks different hahaha yea ill tr...

so I have most of the turbo and carb stuff installed and almost ready to go! BUTTTTT everytime I try to take a pic of the setup for you guys it says picture too large! how the F***K do I put pics on here for you guys to see this monster hahaha but look me up on instagram in the mean time I have pics...

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. I deffinatey will. ive built this motor a few times, each time was a different version. the only constant was it always had the twin carbs on it. so now im ...

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-pre...

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 o...

so this year I am going to run draw through turbo fir my drift ae86 running the 16v 4age motor. so the motor is all put together. I have the intake side figured out. I know the turbo kit that im running. and im using one of the carbs that I already have because I have been running side draft webers ...

thanks for the response guys! honestly this was kind of just a discussion starter and not me looking for an engine per say haha. BUT a 4agte is deff the rout I would go BUTTTT.... I have weber dcoe carbs and finding all the FI stuff is super hard and expensive haha I would love to go turbo with my c...

just like the subject states... are there any factory turbo Toyota engines that are good fits for the ae86? meaning 4 cylinder Toyota turbo motors lol

DNJ P927 pistons, along with Honda Prelude rings. Should run about $125 for both.

oversize bore gets tougher.... but can be done

yea I am 1mm over for the cylinders... 82mm lol

Headwork! Just know the limitations of the bottom end. No sense in building a top end to destroy the bottom end. Typically, the bottom end can handle 9000rpm with the weak link being the oil pump. My current engine is running 8500rpm limiter with a totally stock bottom( yeah it bounces a lot and I ...

With the 272 cams I'd kick the limit to 8500. IF you were to go the other way, block, I'd say put the funds into a 7A block and build a 7AGE. Not as rev happy but the torque increase is worth it. If you were to go this direction a light flywheel and rods will help with the "sluggishness" ...

In the market for a good exhaust header for my 86 GTS, anyone use OBX header does it clear the steering shaft. I hage an obx header and front pipe going to an full hks exhaust on my ae86 now and the header clears the shaft just fine never had anny issues with it. and for the money its not bad either

As mr2mk1hero wrote, by this time (after 25~30years of manufacture) it's really unthinkable to do work on them separately. But okay, for discussion purposes by either/or I would say Head!! Like, mild cams and their corresponding valve springs like lift up to ~8.1mm and total advertised dur. of 272d...

yea its a tough one because like you said its silly to go nuts on the head and have stock bottom end lol and vise versa! but I do agree about a nice revvy 4age that screams to 9000 rpm haha

so this is more just a conversation starter but would really like to know what you guys think! so IFFFFF you had to only chose one, which would you benefit from most? working the head ie. cams, cnc port and polish, valve springs and stuff like that. orrr working the block, ie. forged pistons, rods, ...

would there be any benefit at all to switch to just one down draft with this manifold? No... HAHAHA yea that's what I thought llolol I think they use these in like dirt circle track racing or something but I couldn't see why someone would run this instead of bike carbs or two side drafts :lol: :lol...

So fat racing used to make this cool looking carb manifold to suit one weber down draft carb or what ever brand carb fits lol ive been running two weber 40's on my 4age for drift and they have been ok but would there be any benefit at all to switch to just one down draft with this manifold? here is ...

if this has been covered sorry lol BUT. I was looking at the two engines side by side and was wondering if it could be done. a 4age with one of the two superchargers and a pair of weber dcoe carbs? any ideas or input?

im in centrall Massachusetts

just looking for someone willing to ship a 7age engine or just engine block to me and for how much. just a block with the crank would be ideal for me! looking at doing a 7age

Ideally you would know how far you can adjust before the valves hit the pistons so with that in mind... Generally, once armed with the knowledge as above the cam timing would be adjusted whilst the engine is on a dyno. What would I do ? Advance the inlet first (cam timing wheel held still, turn the...
