84 AE86 turbo12a drift project (lots of pictures)

12arotary · 03-08-2010, 06:35 PM

be aware a lot of pics!!!!!!!!!!

I picked this up a few months back and have been working furiously on it all winter trying to get on the track as soon as it opens!

this is how it started-

12a draw through t3 with a holley 650 double pumper perched on top

after taking everything apart in goes the new, 12a with a very large street port

more power!

then cleaned and painted the engine bay

finally I am here with the alternator remounted to the side, wires all hidden, new radiator mounted fd style with oil cooler mounted perpendicular to that-
so no more bee hive and I can actually keep it cool, the last radiator was the stock one which restricted flow enough the initial owner just removed the thermostat

I'm waiting for my Holley rebuild kit to come in the mail with new jets to hopfully get it running a little better this time around, it was previously set up to drag, idle was around 1800 and it flooded out constantly, not to mention eventually I plan on redesigning the way the turbo is set up so the intake is the lowest point

more to come!

Very cool... not everyday you see one of these, let alone rotary powered....

I wanted to do a TII powered 86. cool project.

I thought about that but I didn't want an EFI set up so 12a was the way to go

Fired her up Saturday to break it in, in desperate need of a tune but its almost ready

Looks like it is in desperate need of some rust repair!!!

no actually, that back wheel is the only spot, and for an 80's Toyota I'm very lucky-
plus really no point in getting that into the cosmetics when odds are I'll wreck it before the end of the year

Ah, I forgot, drift project.

Crash and burn. Sounds fun!
