Dear Lappy, plz update your shit.
Love, Networkfart.
Ok everyone I'm super happy that this is getting so much interest, let alone the people that don't post on this. I have been trying to get a decent amount of stuff done before I update.
Ahh man I know that feeling! I pretty much only go into the AE86 section to see the '2AZ powered 86' so if Littleredspirit reads this, get some shit happening with that car im hangin out to see it done!
Became a qualified boilermaker/welder the other day so now with some more coin coming in things should start happening!
Adaptor plate arrived and fitted (not made for this box) starter bolted in sweet, still doesn't have my flywheel and clutch on yet, but I'll sort that out later. With my spare (will be this car's) engine ive dummied it all up and cut the tunnel out, then cut some more out and a bit more untill finally the massive trans was sitting in place with the engine almost hard up against the firewall. this Time the engine will be sitting upright which makes it slightly shorter so it sits lower. Even with the engine mounted low the tremec output flange is pretty high compared to the w series.
Modified the shifter so its in a reasonable position
Also even though they are smaller than my R33 rear brakes I ordered some AJPS FC adaptors and rotors to suit for the front and a set of 'stage 2 turbo' cams from renowned 3rz builders Paradise Racing in the US came up cheap in a private sale which I swooped up and should be here soon, but that is the least of the engine build side of things

Wholy gearbox batman! Why you not using W series anymore?
Because a T56 will happily munch through 450hp without imploding.
The reflection in the glass of the yellow monster taking shape says it all. Sweet ride man.
I thought a W series would be capable?
The turbo hilux guys recon they shit the tin at about 350 hp,mainly due to these having a bit more torque than the old 4age, I only drift in 4th anyways (strongest gear) but I'm not taking any chances with this car. I want to build it once and not have to re do anything, this driveline set up SHOULD be bulletproof
and its a TR6060 not T56
Ah well fair enough then! Sounds good to me
