Carbed AE86
I have a build log set-up on D-series but figured you guys would appreciate it to right? lol
Just a quick over view, i bought this in Aug last year and have loved it ever since. Its a GTS-R5, done quite a bit of work to it but still have plenty to do. So with that, PICS
First day i got it, Got it for 2k with a bad throwout bearing.
Ordered the bearings the same day and a week later trans out and replaced.
Cleaned and put it back in
A week after that, i realized the front end was very soft. Well it turns it was on tokico blues with cut oem spring. So it blew the front shocks, bought replacement front shocks and some springs
Battery tray was pretty rusted, so battery was moved to the back
Not where the battery sits now, but just a picture in the back
Also being a 20+ year old car i got to replacing all the bushings with this.
So it stayed like that for a while, till i came upon the almighty Carbed thread on the old Club4ag. I seen that and knew thats what i wanted. So i started doing my research, and tried to accomplish it as cheap as possible.
Ordered fuel line and fitings
Some carbs
Made my own flange
Had this fuel pump lying around
Welded up intake (its different now)
Then got to work. Dropped the tank, pulled all the lines, mounted everything up.
Quick FPR mount
New set-up for the tank
This is how it sits today
I just sold my civic yesterday so i have some more money to play with. So i just put in an order for a megajolt set-up, cant wait to get that on there

Re: Carbed AE86
Thought about using some bellmouth stacks on the end of the carbs? Will really smooth the airflow going in, definitely helps with making power.

Re: Carbed AE86
I've always thought that carbs needed to be horizontal/leveled to the ground. I guess it doesn't?

90% of the time you would be right lol. These are downdraft carbs, you look at the floatbowls when you are holding the carbs straight up and down. The bowls are about 30 deg away from being flat. On a bike they can be mounted normally because the engine is already slanted at 30 deg.
This stuff came in

I've seen other instances with these carbs mounted slanted so I've wondered why, but thank you so much for clarifying it with me!
Please keep us updated with the build, thanks!

Thanks, there is plenty more to come.
All finally assembled
Work i did in the letter for the valve covers
Even did some work on the oil cap
I got it started in the garage, found a couple coolant leaks on the block and had a vacuum leak with one of my injector plugs. Fixed those things and the car idled beautifully. I let it idle up to temperature, shut it off, richened up the idle screw and the needle jet and then took it for a spin.
Going down the street i have my eye on the temp gauge and it was reading a little hotter than normal, which was to be expected with higher compression and thinner cylinder walls. But soon after it kept on climbing, i immediately shut the car off and popped the hood. Turned out my radiator developed multiple hairline cracks that didn't show in the garage. So i let it cool down and got it home safely.
I already bought a new radiator, a bigger one at that, and i have a dual fan set-up in the garage. So that will be put in for better cooling, other than that mishap the car ran great. Bottom end is already better than it was before, i had to order another set of main jets, have to go a little higher than what it is now.

Re: Carbed AE86
Are you going to run any kind of filters now? Would be a shame to kill the new engine from eating dust and road grime.
Re: Carbed AE86
Cool carb setup! It's nice to see something unique on here!

Yea, i have been running filters. Just a little filter sheet i cut up and zip tied on there. I always ran filters, specially around my town, we have mostly horse trails instead of sidwalks and it gets very dusty. I finally found some cheap little pod filters, those are on there now.

Re: Carbed AE86
Cool set up. What bike did you get those carbs off of?
Re: Carbed AE86
What size pipe did you use for your manifold? im assuming it was bent to shape in a vice/press?
Re: Carbed AE86
Just curious if you had any more detailed pictures of your fuel lines in the engine bay to how you connected them to the carb setup?
