Jono.C Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Atleast when you rebuild an engine you know exactly what condition it it's in. If you rebuild yours it'll last longer as well. Quote
ke70dave Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 but on the other hand it may cost you significantly mroe again to rebuild an engine that you just paid 750bucks for! id be inclined to buy it too, take the risk that its a good runner. what engine we talking about here? 20V? I'm not sure i belive 100,000kms on a ~20yr old engine. Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah I'm thinking about buying that engine its a 16v running with warranty 100k miles. My finished plan for my Sr5 would have a 2AZ-FE In it like LittleRedSpirit. I have a Scion Tc i love it and i don't plan on selling it any time soon. My dad has a full machine shop about 4 hours from me and he already told me we could built a full car if i wanted. I just want to get an engine in the 86 for now to have some fun. The 2AZ-FE will come in time not in a rush. Because I'm getting a new running engine my block and head are now for sale if anybody is interested. Thanks for all the help and support guys. Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 (edited) I'm looking for a GTS bell housing if anybody has one? Just called the place I'm getting the engine. Got the price lowered 700 shipped 100,000 miles. Edited February 15, 2012 by Alvarado.e09 Quote
Sam_Q Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Would be cheaper to source one locally such as on club4ag than on here. Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 I would get one locally but there isnt anything for GTS around here not even in a junk yard i can't find anything at all :( Quote
Sam_Q Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 try a wanted add on club4ag, you will find ae86's here are fairly rare here in Australia. Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Posted February 16, 2012 Okay guys so i keep changing my mind. There is a SR20 for sale engine and tranny for 1300k. I found a mount kit for 350 at http://www.wrench-pro.com/ My problem is I'm not sure on what needs to be changed for this to work or modified. I looked around and couldn't really find a step by step swap. What would i do with my gauges will i have to do custom? I'm going to be using my ae86 for drift so i think the SR20 would help alot at the track. Maybe i will decide what i want to do soon I'm ready to drive my new car :) Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 So I ordered a 4AGE 16V for 700 and a bell housing for 105 already here I also i a new cluster today. I pulled the engine last weekend I'm not planning on using the A/C or Power Steering the only thing i want to work is the heater. I still need to wire the fuel pump I'm not really sure how to do that? I'm going to replace the broken plastic with my sr5 plastic. I'm not sure on what hoses i need to keep for my heater to work? I want to take pretty much everything out that i don't need. Just a picture of my 86 :) Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Posted March 6, 2012 I'm looking for the gasket between the bell housing and the gear box and also the gasket between the bell housing and the engine. What are them 2 parts called i ask Autozone and they didnt have anything but i think i was asking for the wrong part. Any help please Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Posted March 7, 2012 Okay so i called the dealer and they faxed me over a diagram I found the gasket it will be here Friday. Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Posted March 8, 2012 So my engine will be in town tomorrow i can't wait. Quote
Alvarado.e09 Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Picked up the engine from the shop today it has everything on it manifolds and clutch oil cooler adaptor. I need to get the fuel pump working I was thinking putting the power on a switch to make it easy. Everything is coming together super fast I'm so happy. I have never driven any ae86 Its like I have crazy Blue Balls right now haha. Quote
