Re: In way over my head.... my adventure with an old 86
Melissa and i did a bunch of work on the 86 in the garage today! we went to harbor freight and bought some tools and later decided that we should get a space heater to work in the garage, not bad it was about 50* in there with the heater on.
here is the motor that i got along with the SR downpipe
taking the old turbo and manifold apart
SR T25 Turbo
Test fitting and the manifold is for a top mounted turbo for a MR car, so i need a new manifold
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING EAGLE
did some cutting of the upper radiator support and now i can take motors in and out by my self!!

Re: In way over my head.... my adventure with an old 86
Updates!!
motor mounts are on so hopefully the motor will be back in the car this weekend!!!!
it will fill this space...
the old motor needed to have some things taken off of it, now it is looking rather bare
also i got the Toms AFC from japan today! it looks rad but that is it for now, i still need to do some reading up on this
this is the little bastard that i could not find for months!!! got two of them from some cat down in TX
now some questions! ( for the other forums)
this is one of the vacuum lines off of the back of the intake manifold, and IDK what it goes to
a larger vacuum line dose this one go to the breather or the brake booster?
on the bottom of the TVIS idk what this vacuum line goes to
Lines on the throttle body, Coolant?
on the back of the motor, coolant, but it looks like it should be a vacuum line

Re: In way over my head.... my adventure with an old 86
I'll try to answer your questions:
On the intake manifold, the vacuum line you're pointing at is for the brake booster. The capped one to the left is for the breather.
That line on the T-VIS goes to a metal vacuum line that is attached to the intake manifold. It seems you are missing that entire piece. If you want T-VIS you will need it, otherwise I think you can just take the T-VIS plate out completely.
Those are coolant lines for the idle air control valve coming off the throttle body. They attach to metal coolant lines that bolt onto the block.
The two blue vacuum switches there are BVSV. They attach to the EGR valve and charcoal canister. I think you can cap them? Or buy new ones since it looks like they've been smashed.
Good luck!

Looking good so far! I have an oil filter relocation kit without the hoses if you want the filter to be easier to get to.

Re: In way over my head.... my adventure with an old 86
Interesting... Question.. did you do this just for a fuell cell? and is it still sitting lower than the floor? Im planning on similar trunk cutting, but tubing all the way out to be used as bash bar/bumper support..and keep the floor flat, with fuel cell in the trunk..

Re: In way over my head.... my adventure with an old 86
I did new O rings, filters, caps, and seals on all the injectors
Made up some fuel lines and re installed the aem FPR and rail
Also the painless fule pump relay kit is mounted and needs a 12v source
Last night Patrick stopped by and we went thrugh a bunch of wiring and it seems to be all together! That and the cooling system is all together! Radiator mount made, sensor for water temp gauge is in, ordered fans, stuff for the battery relocation stuff, kill switch ect. I am going to hit the garage and work for a while today and get a fan shroud made, make more brake lines, put the cash/center council back in the car.
My plan at this point will be to have the car started and running by the end of next week as long as all of the parts show up!

Re: In way over my head.... my adventure with an old 86
so i bought a welder the other day (MIG 125 wire feed) and i started working on making a bumper support for the 86
My First attempts to weld
brackets on the frame rails
Horizontal Support
under the bumper piece
Tacked into place
with the bumper on
i may add onto this, or make a new one, i still need to have zip ties to hold up the bumper, i would like to make a new one that dose not need anything to hold the bumpers up
