Having a booster masks how much the bulkhead actually flexes when you put real pressure on the brake pedal. Without a booster every stop takes as much leg work as any stop would with a booster equipped, and given that, you really notice how much the bulkhead flexes and the master cylinder twists. It can be gross. So I built […]
2 Grainy. Distributor relocation or DLI kits are typically the most expensive or hack part of 20V swaps… and from the engine’s standpoint this is neither. It sure is hack from the chassis point of view… but I’ve already cut and welded and braced my chassis so much that this seemed entirely trivial. Total cost was like $7 worth of sheet […]
I’ve seen a couple wiring how-to’s for swapping 20V into AE86. They may or may not be useful for others, but given the modified state of my harness when I got it, as well as my swap from AE101 to AE111 ECU, I have found them all lacking in some form. As I result I’m forced to figure a lot […]
1 The whole personality of my car has changed. I’m basically sick of wrenching and not driving. Elegance and common methods be damned. If this car turns out looking like OG Nishida’s… then I won’t be sad. I really do plan on having something new in the near future. Lots of guys convert to 16V water pumps when swapping 20V 4AG […]
5 bwah bwah bwah. What does this mean? I’m too bad ass and my car was too fast? Or I just got boost obsessed? My fickleness is ruining me, or at least my impression. Mind change like a million times. In the end… I’m going to go with something I know I can do… rather than dive deep into another project […]
4 Everything actually looks well and good… which is actually NOT what I wanted to see. I’m exploring a few options… the simplest of which is putting this on the shelf and running a 5valve motor. The most complex is putting this on the shelf and abandoning 4AGE. Refreshing this thing is somewhere in the middle… but certainly will offer me […]
