First Corolla

little back ground.
i have always been into nissans, have had many of them. this is the first corolla that i have owned and worked on. It is a 86 GTS. absolutely love it. bought the car from a man down in florida drove it back with no issues, minus the knowledge from the seller about the transmission going out. replaced that after about to months and didnt have any issues out of it. the car was my dd on most days. roughly 3-4 months late im making another trip down to florida. and BOOM!!!! threw a rod, no big deal. weighed my options decided on going with a 20v BT swap. as of now i have repalced HG, ARP head studs and just cleaned up a few things internally.

now the issue i am having is not being able to find a write up for the t3 colant reroute and the dizzy relocation. my questions with the dizzy is do most people just break down the dizzy to bare minimum in the stock location to have proper clearance. or is there some kind of block off plate. and if there is a block off plate is there any kind of brace or mount for the cam being that the cam does connect to the dizzy and it looks very dangerous to be free floating with out a dizzy there.

for the t3 colant reroute. i just need to gather some info on plumbing it. any information would be great.

Thanks in advance guys.

thanks bud, but i have read through that post about a dozen times and yeah it helps with the coolant reroute but my biggest issue is the dizzy relocation and well the thread doesnt do much of helping. this is the kit im using. http://www.battlegarage.bigcartel.com/p ... cation-kit

Let me find the video link to how to install that kit... It straight forward and pretty easy last i remember.

Ok here

You will also need to find a new spark plug wire kit long enough ... The stock wire will not be long enough.... I guess u can make it look ugly find what every fit and long enough... Other wise pay like some 200$ for a SP-tec wire kit...

I have a kit that i dont use brand new... But i dont think i want to sell it just yet.

About t3 coolant reroute ...
Nothing to it... The kit should come with all you need... Only thing i remember from that kit is that u would properly want to move the air idle control valve to any place around the engine bay with any hose u can find long enough... Make sure the hose are not too big.. Why i say that? Because from experience with that water kit .with the AIC, air idle control valve in it stock location which is right under the itb in the rear.. The heater outlet will hit it and u will have a very hard time plug/unplug it etc...u will see what im talking about once u test fit. Moving the aic wont cause any effect on the engine just do it right.

Good luck...
