Re: Rear Locker or Limited Slip Options

Our rear pumpkin- 6.2" GTS Rolla rear pumpkin- 6.7" I believe Correct. I have not found any options towards upgraded swap in diffs. As for swapping in an AE86 RWD rear end, you would have to have a matching ft diff. I beleive the GTS uses a 3.73:1, the same as earlier T4WD. The drive line...

Re: New Carb or Rebuild Kit, CA Legal

I'd recommend spending the money for the rebuilt. 1-800-795-1640 or http://importcarbs.com/index.html Ditto. These guys helped me out with my Mazda RX7 carb. I paid over $300 for CarbConnection to tune my carb to pass emissions and stop leaking out the float bowl. they never got it rebuilt right. I...

This can happen because wires may of got crushed, worn, or over heated/fried or oily/dust/contamination is conducting and grounding. My incline-o-meter sto...

Re: Over Charging

I rebuilt an Alternator a few years back. Same thing with the over-charge issue. I only replaced the internal voltage regulator. It only lasted about another 6 months before the brush contact thingies failed. I beleive the cost for a decent re-manned unit was just a bit more than the regulator itsel...

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

I just found out the exhaust flanges got lost somewhere in Chicago during the xmas storms. They got re-routed there twice and I haven't seen them continue anywhere from there. :(

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

I finally got my budget figured out. I'm sure I missed a few things, but I'm using this as my guidelines. Still rough and already over budget. Really because I want to go through the engine and built it right. Especially In the event or possibility this doesn't work out or having a spare motor for a...

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

Also if I go to an in-tank pump I'm gonna have to have a screw-tight line from the pump to the engine, correct?

I'm gonna have to look through some post and see what other people have done for an external pump too.

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

I started fab'ing mounts for the power steering pump and Alternator. Its gonna take a bit of work. The alternator bracket is gonna look funky but oh well. I used part of the 4age power steering mount. I gotta grab some bar stock to finish it but the basics of the motor are starting to appear. The th...

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

Petros, Thx and good to know. I didn't know that the cross member's rack mounts were different between ps and manual racks. Again I have never owned or driven a T4WD with a manual rack. Where all SR5's equipped with power steering? I've only owned SR5s and not one has had a manual rack. Seems to be ...

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

I hear the same thing with everyone who went to a manual rack from P.S. . The question is, if can we find a manual rack with a short ratio. I'm hoping a VW rack might work. Something with a 2.25:1 lock to lock instead of 4.75:1 that's in the PS version. I'm gonna look at an AE86 and AE92 rack today....

Re: 4AGE swap into 85 4WD

The Alternator mounted up right now is the one off the original 4age using the 3ac mounts. I'm trying to uses as many tercel parts as possible. It is the exact same alternator as the tercel 3ac's thou(plugs, mounting point and wattage are the same. I think I'm going to have to fab a power steering m...
