QUestion... regarding sr5..

[[sPooN] aE86]

hello everybody.. haven't logged in for a long....... time but how's everyone doing??

Kevin if you see this WHERE HAVE U BEEN ALL THIS TIME??? i think i saw your car at elite this summer

ok back to topic....

i just wanted to know if a GTS rear axle just BOLTS right up to an SR5??

and how hard is it to add the 3rd pedal?

Thanks

Ken

clutch pedal?

I did one last week... It actually bolts right up! Well some of it... The Gts full rear end bolts up nicely to the SR5... But if you try to take the SR5 rear end and bolt it up to the GTS you'll see that the torsion bar (The bar that goes from the drivers side rear axel ACROSS to the passenger side rear axel) Do not bolt up correctly... If you want we can keep in touch and I can guide you through it... Also the whole pedal assembly is KINDA a bitch to take out of the GTS... you have to take out the WHOLE dash... If you plan to do this swap you have to take other goodies of the GTS.. I.E: Booster, Master, Perportioning valve and such...

rust bucket,

Here's what i COULD have at the momment and i know i'll need a hell lot more to complete this so i'm gonna see what u guys think

IN STOCK:
-84 SR5 (no emissions!!!)
-complete 4AGE redtop (tranny, ECU) but do i have to move throttle body?
-full gts rear axle

NEED:
-gas tank
-gts cluster? the sr5 one doesn't read from the gts tranny right?


what else should i consider??

Thanks again
Ken

The best thing is to have 2 cars, an SR5 and a beat up GTS... You'll need to locate a couple stuff... IE: Clutch pedal assembly, gauge cluster, Tranny mount (Cross member), Vehicle speed sensor, slave, perportioning valve, booster, master cylinder, GTS brake cables and such...

[Rust_bucket]

Why do yoou need a gas tank?

[[sPooN] aE86]

lol cause the one needs replacing hehe

hmm already have the pedal assembly

new brake lines shouldn't cost that much and didnt' know about the crossmember... damn

and i'd also need both master AND slave

what's the booster?

how possible is it to remove and install the rear axle at home?

Ken

[Rust_bucket]

It possible to do it at home... it would be a bitch! but it's do able... Need SEVERAL jack stands though... you need the master and booster and perportioning valve because your going to be running 4 wheel discs as oppose to only 2 wheel...

good luck on building your sr5 into a jt2ae88!

booster meaning brake booster

[[sPooN] aE86]

that clears it up..

best possible solution is to find a parts gti eh?

hmmm.... hard..

i think you might need the fuel lines too cause the 4age is fuel injected. also you you need a adaptor plate for the intake manifold cause the hose is going in the wrong direction. some seats would be good too if your going for the full conversion
