Tons of work and part hunting, How Hard? depends how mechanically inclinded you are

[Oricalcos123]

i had found a place that sells the motor, ecu, wiring harness power steering pump, injec rails, there a 5 speed tranny but it prob a FWD just wasnt too sure if a AE86 trans would bolt to it or would i have to use 1 from a dif car

well are you keeping the transmission thats in your car now?

club4ag would be a better place to ask this

[Oricalcos123]

the only think is that the trans in it now is an automatic and i want it to be standard, be so much better that way.

Well buddy heres a quick run-down, for a GTS swap you need:

GTS Rear-end
GTS driveshaft
GTS transmission (T50)
GTS flywheel and clutch
GTS gas tank and lines
5spd pedals, master cyliner, lines, slave cylinder
for a AE111 4AG 20V you need to either bash the firewall with a hammer or cut it
water line re-routing (there is kits to buy or you can check club 4ag and it shows you what to do for a RWD 4AG water pump)
Cut out the shifter hole(automatic hole doesnt line up)
WIRING............ plus whatever i havent mentioned(im sure ive missing something)

As for putting it in, it all bolts in the original mounts

First thing: Get the guy's permission before you touch his car?

j/k



The gearbox attached to the 20V WILL be a FWD transaxle. Since you need to source a T-50 transmission (bolts right up to the 20V 4AG), and the car being an SR5, might as well source a GT-S donor car.

No you do not NEED to bash the firewall or cut it, since there are distributor relocation kits available. Waterline plumbing kits are out there as well.

Well yeah there are other alternatives, expensive ones, its like 600 for the dizzy re-locator and i cant remember how much the water line kit is but its not cheap, i gave the cheap alternative

sweet thanks for the info, it going 2 be a little of a project car just something to do in the spare time but at the same time i want to do it good and there is a place called Curco by Toronto that u can buy a LSD so the rear can be covered lol. just would have to see how much they are, too much just weld the ring and spyders on a GT-S, the redneck way.

[4agetercel]

unless the car is gunna go down a straight line all the time or is a feild car i wouldnt do it

LSD in Toronto you're problaby paying about $15 a hit.... oh wait, wrong LSD... I'd say around $1500 for a good one.

[Oricalcos123]

could do a 1.5 LSD so it dont completely lock up around corners

[4agetercel]

well i think a 1.5 LSD is locked up during acceleration and decelleration, just no lock up in reverse, so going around turns you will be locked up
