Thank you.

I had the right parts and have lost them. Have to buy new ones, but need to go home on wednesday.

Thanks guys. You have been great.

Can they be made to fit....

OR

Does anyone have stock silvertop ones in Auckland today or tomorrow I can pick up?

F$^##!$ !

Cheers for that guys

Quickie answer needed please, i have "Lost" my 70mm Trumpets for my silvertop and need a urgent replacement, have a set of blacktop stock ones, will they fit? Can they be made to fit?

Sorry i know i have asked this before but need some more advice.

Do i need the heater/fan unit for a wof/cert ?

Do i need a speedo or can i use like an apex rsm instead?

When choosing a muffler I found the trd racing part and got as much information on it as possible and went to a muffler shop and went thru their catalogs to find as close as possible one to it. We got a pretty near perfect match.

The guys on here know a million times more then me, they will see you right

Might be out of place but don't forget your headers.

They make a huge difference. Work out what style you want ( 4-2-1 or 4-1) and how long the primaries and secondaries need to be for your target rpm. I am building one for max power at 7,000rpm but will loose hp down low.

I maybe wrong but i think they are more important then pipe diameter and muffler choice.

The guy who will make it says he needs plans. I suck at cad.

Yeah guess just make out of card and take it to him

Digging up this old thread.

So plan is to build a box where the silvertop airbox is and make come up inline with the bonnet and have it vented to deliver fresh air straight to the trumpets.

have a drain in the bottom to remove any water and put a filter on the vent.

If anyone can design something using cad or offer suggestions it would be great!

I need some help please.

I need to get the airbox in the fxgt sorted and built but need plans to give to someone to build.

The idea is to build a box that marries up to the lower half of the stock airbox and goes up to the same level as the bonnet. The box would have a vent to let the air into it and sit free from the bonnet to move with the engine.

What measurement do you need??

What do you want to know?

If you have vvt you need a vtec ecu, if not a non vtec one.

My 2 cents:

With engine swaps you can either spend time or money, so if you want to save time you spend more money, you want to save money you spend more time.

When I did my engine swap I  researched what parts I would need well before I actually purchased a car, and started to find the parts on trademe and other forums.

My budget:

20v silver top $126

Rebuild of above with 7afe headgasket. blacktop intake cam $456

C56-LSd $81

Blacktop Loom and Auto ECU $56

Ae111 Brakes $106

Rear Sway Bar upgrade (whiteline) $16

Recaro Seats with ae82 rails $189

Bazda Coilovers $251

Extras ( various small parts needed) $328

Total parts bill $1609

Car:

AE82, 406,000km blown engine no rust $458

Cert $320

Total price:  $2387

Cars Value  $300 max

I read just about every forum post on swaping a 20v into a 82, what I would need, what works, what doesnt. Then I wrote a list of all the major parts I would need and started to source them, trademe is good, forums are good too. Won a whole bunch of auctions and if I felt it went for too much would not bid.

Once all the parts are together then look for the car (if you dont already have it). You guys will probably say I was stupid but it worked for me and kept the price down a lot. Just with any car;project have a budget, a goal and then add 25% to the budget for any unplanned extras. Still am spending money on her, the half cage, front bumper and will need to paint her soon as she is a bit tired. But all this money is being spent on a $300 valuved 1984 corolla. When I sell her i would be lucky to get $500 max for her.

Is it possible to make the paint finish look like its been in the hot outback sun and sand for many years but have a nice sealer on it?

Like a weathered look?

I know someone who used trailer plugs. worked ok. not fancy as the other stuff but worked a treat for the price.

By offered i mean someone is selling it for $240 and i was considering buying it.

Nah turbo will cost too much and i would need a lot of help i don't have access too.

I am currently running a blacktop Flywheel as its much lighter then the stock silvertop one.

However i have been offered a lighter one from a reputable Japanese firm (5kg vs 5.9kg). What would the pros and cons be of going to the even lighter one over the stock 7.9kg silvertop one?

TBH it still is a good looking car, maybe if it was in mint condition it would be worth close to what its being sold for but he should not sell it as a true GT. Would not say no to having it

I asked about this car they have not returned my call.

Not sure if this counts but the biggest leap forward in transportation engines presenting Sir Whittle and his powerplant:

Slowly thinks to himself, Ae86 arches on an 82...

Did they restart production of 86 parts for you?

Very impressed, like the wrong wheel drive Ae8X series cars    

The only issue I can see safety wise is that it will look terrible.

You think a smaller vent?

Couple of quick questions for you Cletus.

1) Rally light pods, would something like this be road legal or would it need to be removed to drive on public roads? As I would like to mount a pod but no one makes them for the 82 so would need to custom build and with the newer rally cars going for the below setup it would be a lot cheaper for me in the long run.

2) I have been told by the local garage wof guy that a "Shaker" style vent would be illegal as it is not directly conected to the bonett and as the vent is also aftermarket it would cause injury to any one who i run over. The plan Cletus is to build a sheet metal box where the current intake pleneum of the 20v is, cut a hole in the bonett so that the box is under the bonnet line and the vent is above feeding cold air into the ITB's. Was going to use a WRX STi vent. Any issues I would run into doing this? It would not need to go on the cert would it? As its a factory vent from a subaru.

Thanks

this^  you'll have just as much/more fun in a mildish na setup.  plus can beat down on it all day, without having to worry too much about breaking stuff.   spend cash on handling!  

You should see how she handles now, its so much better then stock. The MRP coil overs are a good buy. I think after the 193's i will stop modifying the engine and the 70mm trumpets have made a big difference. I have done some clever tricks to get all the power I can out of her without going nuts. KPR, some say the stock bolts are good for 8500 any experence?

I do love the high rpm sound of the 4a.
