First thing that needed my attention was the transmission as I bent a shift fork back in December and haven't really driven the car since. With thoughts of preventative maintenance I have decided to upgrade my transmission to a w58 from a Supra. To do this requires some custom pieces I am still obtaining. Once the swap is complete I will do a thorough write up; for now here is a short list of the required pieces:<br />
<br />
W58 from a Supra<br />
4age Bell-housing<br />
Sam-Q 4age to w58 swap kit<br />
A 200mm or 212mm custom clutch for w58 splines (4age clutch disc and w58 splines)<br />
Ae86 pressure plate<br />
A custom cross member to suit the w58<br />
A custom driveshaft or possible connecting of w58 front half shaft to ae86 rear half shaft<br />
<br />
<br />
In addition to upgrading the transmission I have purchased a body kit. I have an incredibly refined taste in everything ae86 and especially visual parts such as body kits i have my preferences. I have decided to go with a goodline (muscle bear) style front bumper, and run free side skirts and rear bumper; all fiberglass replicas as buying authentic would be a waste of money once the body kit gets damaged drifting at the track. I am making custom bash bars and brackets to hold the bumpers and a small write up will come for that too once the kit is mounted.<br />
<br />
The last thing I have to do is weld the exhaust back on as it broke off at the last event as well. And I'll pick up some good tires for the front to last through next season. Stay tuned and thanks for reading. Here's a nice picture of me running tandem with another coupe someone snapped at the last drift event.<br />

Here are my thoughts:<br />
<br />
The quality of parts seems really nice. Everything is a perfect fit except one thing. The adjust collars on the rear perch have a bottom in them like a cup. Even with the bump stops completely off, they are an inch away from seating around the base of the collar. They bottom out on the bump stop mounting location. Solution? Saw off the bump stop perch. They aren't structural and cut very easily. <br />
<br />
After a day of drifting at Pats Acres this weekend I can say, they perform great. They absorb bumps and undulations while sliding like butter. I still need to tune them in a little more, but they were doing what I needed. Oh, and you can slam the shhh out of it if you want; shocks adjust shorter than you'll ever need.<br />
<br />
On the freeway they ride over lane change bumps smoother than my TRD/agx setup did. So, the digressive shocks are working. <br />
<br />
These run about 1250 shipped from Battle Garage RS (without spindle). I think the extra 300 over megans or bc's putting them in the price range of Stance coilovers is a fair price after evaluation. Well see how they do through the season at PARC! Thanks for watching.<br />

Today I installed my new 100mm stacks with the Pipercross filter set up. I was very pleased with the fitment. Isn’t it <span style="font-size: large;">beautiful.</span><br />

Even with the filter on there is a sufficient amount of room for all the components around it. I think I could even fit the windshield washer bottle.<br />

I also got around to installing the SS brake lines today. I will be racing soon! All of the intake parts here are available from <a href="http://www.battlegarage.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">Battle Garage Racing Service</a>.<br />

<br />
The use of this style of Pipercross allows space for 100mm velocity stacks!<br />

<br />I also picked up some stainless steel brake lines and a little hood support clamp. It's all in the details. The stacks will be here in a few weeks and I will upload a new video.</div>

Even though I have not been updating the blog much, the 20v is running pretty good. There is the low rev-limit issue (about 6800), but other than that it seems to be a flawless swap. I have ordered 100mm stacks and a filter set up from <a href="http://www.battlegarage.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Battle Garage</a>, one of the most punctual and quality up and coming distributors around. </div>

When I get the Corolla on the road again I will head over to my buddy Evan's shop at <a href="http://item-b.com/" target="_blank">item-b</a> here in Portland to have him shoot some HD video of the motor.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The answer is yes. However, the ae86 in classic tuning form only shines under certain parameters. The conditions are low speed drifting, and low speed tight corners. I have noticed the ae86 is especially quick with switchbacks. (meaning changing direction, inersia, weight shift etc.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Because of the iconic nature of the AE86 many builders choose powerful motor swaps, like a F20 or SR20 to perform with the newer cars. At what point has the build gone so far that you might as well buy a faster car from the start? Or is it cooler just because it's a challenge?</div>

It's revving smooth and idling well. The only problem is the redline is at 6800 rpm. This thing should rev to at least 8 so I have some more tuning to do. <br />

All around the world people are celebrating the iconic sports car that is the AE86. I've owned my car for over six years, the soul of each individual AE86 will only become apparent with this kind of devotion.<br />
<br />
Keichi Tsuchiya said, "The 86 trains the driver", which became a quote in the popular Initial D. This is a very true statement, the car is not for the impatient, light-hearted driver. You must succumb to the apprenticeship the AE86 has to offer and become the car's slave in something similar to Pie Mei from Kill Bill.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately my car is still waiting for a proper ECU which is in the mail from Japan. The swap has become a much lengthier endeavor than I had imagined; it will all be worth it when it finally runs.<br />
<br />
August sixth holds even more historical significance, it was the day the Americans bombed Hiroshima, Japan. I have visited the tribute museum in Hiroshima and sensed the severe pain the people had to endure.<br />
<br />
Regardless of anything the Japanese had to endure, they always prevail in any circumstance. With one of the hardest work ethics on earth, it's no wonder they can create cars as fun, iconic, and beautiful as the AE86.<br />

Today I custom mounted the ignitor and coil, installed the Earl's fuel line with a summit racing guage, and installed the exhaust manifold after minor grinding.<br />
<br />
The Tweak'd Performance harness left me very little slack to mount the coil and ignotor. Since the ignitor is smaller I bolted it right above the booster as shown. Went down to the local hardware store and bought some allen bolts and nuts for a clean look. I just pulled the vent out to access the space behind the allen heads to put the nuts on.<br />

The coil was not going to mount well in that vicinity so I extended the two wires using solder and shrink tubing. This allowed me to mount the coil down where the stock 16v coil mounted before. Since I am not actually using the coil to fire (just for the signal) it doesn't matter where it's mounted as long as it's plugged in. I had my friend Aaron (a fabricator/welder) fab me up a bracket to hold the coil using the stock mount location. I'm happy with the results on the bracket, I threw some Rustoleum red paint and some allen hardware on there too. </div>

Another problem I had to solve was the large vacuum port on the manifold for the first cylinder. So I found a bolt with the same thread pitch and cut cut it shorter to plug the hole. If it's too long then it portrudes into the airflow, if it's too short it would leave a little valley where the air flows. With a little trial and error by opening the throttle plate and looking inside with a flashlight, I got the bolt to the right length. <br />

I was excited to put the fuel line in today, so I put off eating and spent an extra hour hooking this up. I had the choice to run the SS line up above and come down on the connection on the fuel rail, or tuck it underneath and come up to the fitting on the fuel rail. I chose to tuck the fuel line underneath, it's not like people won't notice it and it serves it's purpose. I'm big on making everything as minimalistic as possible under the hood while retaining functionality.<br />

Attempting to install the Techno Toy Tuning 20v Water Kit presented multiple issues. First I noticed the lower water pipe was aiming straight at the alternator. So I cut one of the silicone elbows shorter on one side to tuck the pipe under the alternator. Most people who use this kit either route the lower pipe around the alternator, or over the top of it (with a 16v alternator mount). Since I am using the 20v alternator mount, I had plenty of room to run the piping underneath. This made the stock shape of the lower hose useless, so I ended up using the upper hose (as it is a straighter hose) on the bottom and a section of the lower hose for the top of the radiator. This gave it a nice tucked appearance when viewed from the top. By the way, the 20v alternator bracket will hold the 16v alternator perfectly, and lines up with the stock 20v pulleys fine. I deleted the 20v free spinning pulley and used the stock 20v serpentine belt.</div>

Another thing I had to solve was the top alternator bracket. Because I'm using the 20v alternator mount, it was rubbing against the top hardline, so I had to grind a little area for it to fit. Another modification can be seen in this picture where the hard lines mount to the water neck on the head. I pulled out the stock stud and got a longer one. The mount wouldn't fit underneath the nut on the stock stud. It's hard to see but the mount is actually on top of the stock nut allowing it to fit, and then secured with another nut. Providing the water neck a devoted nut allows me to remove the water pipe bracket without breaking the seal on the water neck in the future. </div>

With the silicone elbows in place on the back of the head, the heater control valve would not fit in the stock location. So I just moved it to the left and secured it using only one stock bolt for now.</div>

Ran into some issues with the fitment of the stock molded heater hoses. They didn't fit in stock locations what so ever. It broke my heart, but I had to chop up my brand new silicone ae86 molded heater hoses. Each heater hose was used in an unintended position but it worked; it's a really tight fit. Another problem was the inlet for the heater core outlet on the bottom of the T3 machined block. I only needed 4-5 inches from one of the heater hoses to reach this port. I found it strange that the inlet on the T3 water block is smaller than a stock heater hose port. I just clamped it on so hopefully it doesn't leak. This hose is in a really tough location right above the bell housing and virtually impossible to get to once the transmission is installed. Here is the best angle I could get on the stuff going on back there.</div>

Over all I am very pleased with the water kit. The heater hose situation is a little annoying, but it looks really clean under the hood. Soon There will be posts covering the harness install, custom mounting of various things, and the install of the earl's fitting fuel hose set up. One more picture for the "20v ae86 under hood" Google image searches:</div>

****EDIT**** It is now September 2015, So i have some issues to report with the water kit:<br />
<br />
First off, it is incredibly prone to leaking. I had to take the block off the back of the head again due to leaking which is tough to do when the engine can't lean forward. I had to use a sealant and order another gasket to get it to seal.<br />
<br />
After installing two different Summit Racing Heaters (both of them leaking within a weak of usage) I came to a realization. I noticed when I shut the heater control valve it would leak right of of the valve. But when I opened it the leak would stop. Basically the T3 kit isn't designed for any kind of restriction through the heater outlet. Which is a very bad design. The heater outlet is a pressure line, meaning it comes from the water pump and it has to pass through to get to the next water channel. Heater cores are restricted by nature because the water must pass through small channels in the core. Therefore, the high pressure was blowing heater cores and refusing to stop when the heater control valve was closed. All of this cost me time and money and it was a huge inconvenience. T3 should have added a channel that would allow a bypass of the pressure to the next port for when the heater control valve is closed. The final consensus: Don't buy the T3 water kit. Buy Sam-Q or make your own. </div>

It feels like the rack is shifting causing the steering wheel to end up slightly off from strait each time I turn it.<br />
<br />
When I installed the rack, I had to install the T3 manual rack adapter bushing to retain the power steering rack bracket. However, I didn't replace the other "D" shaped bushing. My friend Greg had duplicates lying around from this Prothane bushing kit for his mr2.<br />
<br />
Since the engine is out and the 20v is on hold until I get an engine hoist, it seemed like a good time to hopefully solve the steering issue.<br />
<br />
Now that the new bushing is installed the rack seems much stiffer. After installing these I realized how crucial they are to the steering input on the ae86. Being that the bushings are $30 for both this is a modification that all ae86 owners should not overlook. Have a nice day.<br />

Figured I would contribute my idea of a "complete" list. The sections written in<span style="color: #f1c232;"> yellow</span> are the routes I chose to go.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Blactop 20v engine ($1200 - 1500)</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -With or without harness depending on wiring decisions</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -With all sensors, distributor, coil, and igniter </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Did I mention all sensors; O2, IAT, TPS, MAP, etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wiring (cheap - $550)</span></span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Make custom using 20v harness</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> OR</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"> -Have somewhere like <a href="http://www.tweakdperformance.com/index2.html" target="_blank">Tweak'd Performance </a>make you a new plug and play harness ($550)</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>Convert cooling system one of these ways: ($50 - $690)</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Convert to 16v flow by making a custom kit ($50-100)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Convert to 16v flow using <a href="http://s-86.com/parts.php" target="_blank">Sam-Q's</a> kit which can be bought through <a href="http://www.battlegarage.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">Battle Garage</a> or similar ($355 + source some hoses)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -<span style="color: #f1c232;">Retain 20v flow using a water line kit from <a href="https://technotoytuning.com/" target="_blank">T3</a> ($690) or SP-Tech (If available $550)<span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span style="color: yellow;">(Don't do this - See <span style="font-family: inherit;">later water kit install post for <span style="font-family: inherit;">explanation</span>) </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>Distributor Issue (free-$550)</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Hammer firewall or cut and weld a box in it for the distributor to fit (free)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Buy a relocation kit from Sam-Q or similar ($550)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -<span style="color: #f1c232;">Run a waste spark system which you can wire in or have Tweak'd do for you. This allows you to run coil packs from a newer Toyota on the stock blacktop ECU. I am using 1zz COP's from a 2008 Corolla. Note you will still need your coil and ignitor for the signals.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">(wiring from tweak'd $50) (coil packs $180-300) (Dist cover $90 at <a href="http://www.battlegarage.bigcartel.com/products" target="_blank">Battle Garage</a> or make your own)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some purists don't think a waste spark is proper, but many have run it with no problems. In my opinion it is a clean and cheap solution to the distributor issue. Plus it's just cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b>Fuel Line (free - $90)</b></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> -Make one using one half of your 16v fuel line and the other half of your 20v fuel line.<span style="color: #f1c232;"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">-Get Earl's fittings and stainless hose.<a href="http://www.summitracing.com/" target="_blank"> Summit Racing</a> had everything: two -6an banjo fittings, 3ft of -6an SS hose, and a fuel pressure gauge that mounts into the top of the fuel filter ($90) Here are the part numbers for all the fuel line parts needed:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">807691ERL</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f1c232;">RUS-640700 </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Other Stuff (some optional)</span></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -OEM 20v gasket kit ($250)</span><br />
<br />
-Timing belt ($38-100) Hydraulic tensioner ($74 from <a href="http://www.battlegarage.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Battle Garage</a>) Tensioner pulley ($78) I used an OEM belt, tensioner and pulley. It is crucial to replace these parts as the blcktop is an interference engine. Many people convert to a 16v pulley, but this requires a 16v oil pump, water pump, etc. I figure the engine came stock with the hydraulic set up so it should be fine.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -OEM 16v Pilot bearing and throwout bearing ($30-50)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Clutch kit of some kind ($90-300)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Engine mounts ($100) if needed. <span style="color: #f1c232;">I used OEM mounts for more vibration dampening</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Transmission mount ($80) if needed. <span style="color: #f1c232;">I used a Cusco mount for more stiffness on the driveshaft</span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Rear Main Seal (Might as well do it while you're in there) ($20)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;"> <span style="color: #f1c232;">-Electric fan set up</span></span>, unless you run a 16v style water kit. The 20v waterpump isn't strong enough to support a clutch fan and is known to break. ($50-100) Tweak'd performance wired in a relay for me that runs off of the stock coolant temp sensor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -O2 sensor. use either the 20v one or<span style="color: #f1c232;"> an o2 from a 1993 mr2 non-turbo will work too) ($60-100)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Coolant <span style="color: #f1c232;">Toyota Red coolant is best ($28)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Transmission Fluid <span style="color: #f1c232;">Redline mT-90 is what i use ($30)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Engine Oil and Filter ($25-60)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Fuel filter ($25)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -Coil on plug plate (custom =cheap) (<a href="http://www.performanceoptions.net/products.html" target="_blank">Performance Options</a> has one for about $90)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> -A couple custom mounts for the IAC valve and the MAP (free - $30)</span><br />

They are making a brand new harness for the 20v blacktop, but they needed my old harness to source a few pieces.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's kind of ironic that I was planning to start the swap today and my car died today. Well, it didn't die, but I left the headlights on for an hour and the battery voltage was down at 10v; effectively wouldn't turn the old starter. The last two days cold starts were getting rough and I believe my motor knew it was time to go. If any motor ever proved to be as reliable as this one has, I would be surprised. <br />
<br />
On a lighter note, I'm so glad I never have to see this harness under my hood ever again! Goodbye!<br />

Perhaps one of the greatest feelings when doing a project is obtaining all the parts. Kind of like when you're a kid and just got some new lego's. For now i just have this small box of things collected along with the motor. Including OEM(Toyota) front and rear brake pads, OEM motor mounts, OEM pilot bearing, OEM exhaust gasket, and some cheap serpintine belt. <br />

On the way in the mail I have a coil/ignitor, 1993 mr2 turbo O2 sensor by OBX, stainless steel fuel hose and Earl's banjo fittings with the pressure gauge set up from Summit Racing, and 1ZZFE coil packs to run a waste spark setup. Ignition and fuel line will look like this:<br />

<br />
The only thing left I have to source is a water conversion kit, and an electric fan set up. Other than that all I have to do is send this harness in tomorrow and prep everything for the swap. Stay tuned for lots of updates as I meticulously swap my car over the next couple weeks.<br />
