FL Lurker coming out of the wood work

hey guys and gals, thought id re-introduce myself seeing as how ive rarely posted on this forum. ive been lurking on here for about six years and its a great site for information. i do need a little help on my current project though so i decided to speak up.

my current track car is a 1987 AE86 corolla gt-s with the stock 4AGE.


the entire suspension is all hyme joint, pillow ball, and poly bushings. now that i have the suspension done, im working on the engine.


i have to clean it up a bit and paint it, but its a s4 13b Pp. just have a few questions for the swap so ill see what i can squeeze from this site.

like i said, i have been lurking pretty hard. this site seems to have its fair share of drama and i really didnt want to get involved, lol. but the majority of this forum is quite helpful and because i havent really found anything else online about this swap, i figured id make a build thread when i start the build.


i have put some serious work into this car. the suspension was completely replaced with all megan hard pillow ball and hyme joints and mounts, megan 32 way adjustable coilovers with 8kg front and 6kg rear, megan pillow ball tension rods, megan inner and outer tie rods, and every arm on this thing is adjustable. i put over 50 hours of hard work for weight reduction putting it at 2080lbs with carpet and backseats! ive always said suspension first, then power. now that the suspension in complete, its time for my rotary build.

Nice car, coupe are the lightest.
Search YouTube there's a 86 with 20b.
Personally I would've gone with k24 from crv.
