Roco's AE86 v8 build

[roco]

hey guys just thaught id throw my new build. i know its not a silvia, but most of the chasis and suspension is. :D. anyway here it is.

Europe's First V8 ae86. now some people will like the idea some will hate it, but ive always had a thing for the v8 engine and the ae86, so why not combine the two? this is my build over the last few months, getting ready for Prodrift/D-rift, and time attack, + hopefully a few rounds abroad!

basicaly starting off with a trueno ae86,
1uzfe 8cyl, 32v Quadcam, have to keep her toyota!
4 stud s13 rear axle, to keep same wheel fitment
s13 front lca's,hubs,brakes,coils.
supra w58 gearbox.

this is what i started off with.

http://i30.tinypic.com/2rcre3a.jpg%5B/IMG%5D

started to trip her down back in january 08, to see what i have to work with?

http://i26.tinypic.com/10wt9fs.jpg%5B/IMG%5D

then cut up the back end, choped the floor and the chasis mount for the panhard rod!

the itb’s arrived

http://i37.tinypic.com/1zpk09c.jpg


the engine, what I started with, a old v8 out of a soarer.
http://i20.tinypic.com/r0bk1z.jpg

and what I made of it, built up on stock internals, new belts and gaskets,
ae101 itb’s, custom manifold adaptor, stainless exhaust manifolds, and I polished
the rocker covers, pretty standard but good for 300+bhp.

http://i35.tinypic.com/xmiil0.jpg
now to mount the engine, at first glance it doesn’t look like its gona fit
but when we measured her up, its pretty tidy. i didn’t cut the bulk head, we bet it back a few inches which was more than enuf, just cut the tunnel,

engine in, at last,
http://i37.tinypic.com/1z215pw.jpg
http://i36.tinypic.com/5xu82f.jpg
http://i36.tinypic.com/15yewsx.jpg

I used mounts similar to the mk2 escort, to make
things easyr and cheeper to replace, also stiffer,
http://i34.tinypic.com/2u7q78n.jpg
http://i36.tinypic.com/16oqbs.jpg

now to fabricate the tunnel. I decided to make it out of one piece sheet metal,
just to keep it looking neat
Tacked in place
http://i34.tinypic.com/adzu3a.jpg
http://i38.tinypic.com/21999on.jpg

and finished
http://i38.tinypic.com/t554wk.jpg
http://i37.tinypic.com/ot14dl.jpg

seem welded the whole shell, underneath, inside, and in the engine bay, also patched up any rust, and gusseted the chasis in a few places for strength,
http://i37.tinypic.com/125nk02.jpg
http://i34.tinypic.com/2rqh9jo.jpg

right, had big problems with the rear suspension, my original idea was to get ae86 coilovers so I wouldnt have to fabricate turrets in the rear, and I could change the end to suit the axle, so I bought a set, but when fittling them I relised they didnt fit???, it turns out they were for a turreted ae86.. Like ??? ???. Anyway, in the end if I was going to have to turret the rear end I was going to do it properly, so I orderd set of s13 rear coilovers, and got to work.
Big hole

[roco]

Since I have the s13 rear end, which gives me about 30mm extra track each side,
I have decided to put the s13 front end in aswell. Lca’s, hubs, brakes, coilovers, and using the ae86 top mounts, and ae86 tension rods. Makes for about 40mm extra track each side on the front end, and a very big upgrade in brakes. Also the s13 steering arm is about an inch shorter, but with a ae86 manual rack and the extra track, you get a whole lot of lock.

Striped down the front end ready for new set up.
http://i38.tinypic.com/rk93cg.jpg

here you can see the difference in length between the two lca’s, and the length of the steering arm.
http://i33.tinypic.com/w018hz.jpg

massive difference between the brakes, huge vented rotors and much bigger callipers.

mounting the s13 lca. And hub assembly.

Steering lock first attempt.
http://i34.tinypic.com/k0fxqq.jpg
http://i38.tinypic.com/2pqvxh1.jpg


few minor adjustmens later

And now I am very happy with the angle of lock.

[ChiSleepyEyes]

looks like u def have a handle on the fab part of this build, mad props to u man, keep it up!
subscribed!

[wh0aitznic0]

Damn, so it's basically an S13 with an AE86 body and a Soarer motor ? SICK !!

Why did you go with KSport's though ? :(

[rican_nick]

lol tahts serious buisness right there.

[Leetheslacker]

local guy put one of these together. its absofuckinglutely nuts. and thats on stock engine.

just wondering why the s13 suspension and diff? it seems like Europe loves putting s13 suspension and diffs in everything.

[pinkarrowsnow]

This is nuts you do some beautiful work man.

[roco]

thanks guys,

i got the k-sports for free, good for mocking it up and rolling it around the shop. ill get tein for it befor she hits the track, i put the s13 suspension in mainly to keep the wheel stud fitment for my ae86 wheels. all that stuff is just mocked up, i have new brakes, and arms, and i have to powder coat some of the stuff. ive just primed the chasis, and i wana get it to paint before the weekend. ill get more pics up soon.

[slider2828]

For the rear arm linkages, I have the same ones.... What company makes them? Are they any good? I have been to the track with them 3 times and a lot of autox's so far so good. Any ideas?

[RUTH'LESSDET]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THis is what ive been waiting to see
THE V8 sickness is spreading !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[s13tilldeath*]

just wondering why the s13 suspension
i dont know why he did it but i am thinking about it just cause it is easyer to get parts for a s13 and cheaper....

[n240sxfnatic]

That is rediculous, I love it.

[driftsilvias13]

Lots of fab work! looks good!

[THE PROPHET]

Wow big props to you, nice build! can't wait to see more

[Shift n Drift]

good to see you kept it in the same race, and your a badass

[180sxdrifter]

i <3 this thread .

[zugoi]

awesome build man. Props to you. Cant wait to see it finished.

[slider2828]

S13's and S Chassis in general have a lot of steering angles and a lot of mods for more steering angle.... S13 cause its cheap.....

[95KA-Turbo]

Hell yes! I wanted to put a 1UZ in my S14 but I could not afford it (because of all the fab work that would be needed). Where did you get your bell housing and ITB set up from? I know there are a few places in Australia that make adapter plates, but I've haven't seen a full bell housing.

Big ups!!!

[origin_s135]

awesome build. i would love to see the final results! but i think this is in the wrong section though.

[s13dan]

Looks great. I love the s13 suspnesion stuff. Thats great, and a v8 in that car will be dangerous, so tons of fun.

[xplicit240]

this is insane. someone has to say it... YOUR CRAZY! but props for the clean work. hope to see a vid soon.

ITB V8 FUCK YEAH!

got the bellhousing and flywheel of damien in a1turbos in newzeland. top guy and good value too. its expensive for all the conversion gear as the 1uz only came auto, but i went with it cos its so damn light. its only a few lbs heavyer than a sr20. full alloy block and heads.

this one is stayin fairly stock, but i have a spare engine that im gona build up for next year. should be good for 500+ and about 8.5-9k rpm.

[homeslice]

Sick build! cant wait to see her done..

Yeah, the motors are engineered GREAT - much like the 2J but better because its a V8, haha.

I will eventually get one with ITBs into my S14.

The fabrication work looks pretty damn good, but I am worried that not enough engineering went behind the placement of the rear subframe and front suspension pivot points. The rear subframe looks to be too low in the chasis to me, which will throw the rear roll centre out of whack. The roll axis of the car will most likely be far off, lower in the back.

[Akiros]

Holy shit. AMAZING and equally bad ass. nice.

[Xbroke_kidX]

Wow, great work, keep it up!!

i know where your coming from, and i had taught about it, my original idea was to have the axle low, and for the rear lca's to be parallel to the ground when driving. to make the car squat like a gokart or track car. my thinking behind this was for wide track, and very hard rear setup. but i have since thaught about it several times and am indecisive. im going to leave it as is for the moment, and see what its like when i drive it im completely unsure how this whole car is going to handle as it hasnt realy been done or tested before . its no big deal to change and remount the axle, a good days work will fix the geometry.

i just teared.

[Gumballf355]

Looks like the rear subframe is mounted a little low... if you mount it up higher into the chassis you'll be able to lower the car more without the alignment getting out of spec. While you're at it, I would raise the mounting points of the top of the coilovers.

[wgJoY]

that rollcage is very impressive. Especially having it extend to the turrets. Great work and nice update! Keep us posted!

[roco]

since starting this project I have completely changed the car several times.
Was going to just run the v8. then I decided on a English s13 axle with welder, then I decide, on s13 front end, and s13 brakes, then I decided on s13 coilovers and turreted the rear end, then I decided to scrap the safety devices cage and do it properly, …. And even now im still chaging my mind. its taking ages, but a wise man ones said theres no short cuts in doing something right. im not going to spare any expense on this as its at such a stage it would ruin the rest of the car.im even going as far as replacing and painting each nut and bolt. I would still do somethings diffrent like axle placement, but I wana see how this set up works first. I can rectify things as I go as im unsure of what its going to be like as this setup hasn’t been done before all in one car.
Hopefull it will turn out like the picture in my head, lol J

Painted the shell in post office red. Its enamel paint, so its seriously tough.

Don't mind me. I'm just jealous. lol

[roco]

:smash: lol, thanks man.

[ESmorz]

This has kept my LS1 Corolla build inspiration alive, although not as baller as yours lol.

A+

Out of curiousity what is the real name for the things that allow you to flip the car over? I need to get a hold of one of those.

[soreballz]

^Its called a rotisserie.

[fcf sil80]

WOW!!!!! f-n awsome:bowdown:

[roco]

i call it a spit, cos it looks like the thing ya put a pig on over a fire. lol. but yeah i think sorebalz is right it is somethin like rotisserie?... i just made mine up out of scrap metal. cost nothin and does the job.

[drift freaq]

^Its called a rotisserie.

Actually kyle the first definition for spit in Websters dictionary is a thin rod to hold things over the fire. So though it is a Rotisserie its also a spit. In fact Rotisserries are technically just fancy spits. LOL

Rocco your build is absolutely crazy and fucking awesome. Your car is going to sound like its at LeMans with that ITB setup. I wanna hear that thing.
Major props to you for building something like no else. Can't wait to see the finished project.

Digging the S2K powered Corolla in the background. Is it your goal to make the rest of us feel lazy? LOL keep it up!

the jigsaw together.

and the two together, there not 100% finished yet,
but ya get the jist. There the best I could do with the
restricted space I had to work with, espesialy on the
drivers side with the rack in the way and the fact there
made from left over scrap, anyway anything
has to flow better than the stock logs.

Stock logs:

Sick build Roco good luck. Very curious to see how this beast is going to sound.

[hunter8411]

I am absolutely in love with this build. The suspension is exactly what I want to do to another similair size car. Now I have something to reference, thank you good sir.

[s13tilldeath*]

still looking sick nasty......

Keep up the good work.....

More updates please, i cant wait to see the progress..... This bitch is going to sound nasty i bet.....

[0100]

Love this shit.

Great job on motor placement!

[roco]

right because I am running the s13 front lcs’s and hubs
the ae86 tie rods don’t fit, there too short, and there shot
anyway, so I bought supra ones in a motorfactor, and
modified them to suit, there longer and a little beefier.

Stock ones.

http://i41.tinypic.com/9uym39.jpg

and the new fabed ones.

http://i44.tinypic.com/v60owl.jpg

[s13tilldeath*]

[soreballz]

^Yeah, the bottom tie rod doesn't look straight.

[s13silvia123]

[roco]

i knew you guys would spot that, lol.. yeah the bottom one pulled while welding, so i cut it up and made it again, straight this time. i dont have pics tho, was too lazy.

[Nategreat923]

[roco]

Thanks in advance.

[Otto347]

[johngriff]

Cool build, but for so so much work, I would have went S12 + Q45 engine.

Looks good though!

[Dee]

this build is epic to say the least! F5'ing for the start-up videos :)

[91whitecoupe]

bump for a sick ass project! i got that motor stock on my sc400 and its ok.. but u got it in a very light weight shell with itb! all i gotta say is that thing is gona FLY!

[S14_Kouki]

Fucking hats off to you sir NICE. All tho your manifolds need help

[Typhon]

I'm not gonna lie, I came on to hear cuz I was going to talk crap cuz I think its stupid to put a v8 in such a small car, but you did this so damn legit and badass Im atually excited to see it run, good job man

[killsarrow]

wow this car is soo sick . cant wait to see more , great job .

[kingkilburn]

Why is it stupid if said V8 is near the same weight or potentially lighter than other options?

It's not a cast iron 500ci big block.

[burnsauto]

not bad, its starting to take shape nicely. how much did those itb's run you? (im too lazy to read all of that at 3am..)

[roco]

hey guys, sorry havent updated, i have a good bit of progress on this
but all my photos are on my camera and i have to upload them whitch take [email protected]*kin ages. i upload them and should have something more soon.

@s14 kouki, yeah man i know, there made out of scrap i had lying around

I used s13 outers on my front swap, used the s13inners welded to half of AE86 outers that serves as the extension needed also and is very strong with seam welding and a few plugwelds through the center. Heres is the ruff units installed, I made another set that ill try to find my pics of the finished product ground smooth and powdercoated.

[DP-AE86]

i spy mcnsport car in the background!
alien green interior with bright blue exterior.

http://i35.tinypic.com/msdcet.jpg

anyway...cool build.

[jumpman2334]

nothing new on this?!

Quick question. Sorry if its already been answered.. When you did the s13 subfram/rearend swap, did you have to shorten it (width wise)? Ive seen on a couple of threads on other forums, stating that the subframe needs to be thinner, due to the s13 being wider than an 86…

[vas570sx]

He mentioned that this subframe has a 30mm wider track width. I'm assuming he stayed with it because he used s13 suspension up front too which widened the front track width.

[jumpman2334]

thanks. after i dug a lil more in here, i found my answer too.. id really like a rolla w/ s13 stuff up front, but i dont want to increase my width, so it looks like if i get one, ill be making my own LCA's... not too much of a challenge.. the r31 LCA's also bolt right on.

[towlie]

Sweet build, although updates are needed..

[Gizmo_S13]

There's a guy who swapped a 1uz in a AE86 on JZXP. that car is fucking ridiculous!!!

[pole drift]

This car has been broken and sold
