So! I have a 1986 corolla and i have an s5 13b.... and so starts the carbed, bridgeported 13b corolla drift/track car =) can't wait, picked up the engine today.

Wish me luck!

Good luck homie...i was thinking about doing that for a drift car....

 

nice, dude a ae86 with a rotary. its like two amazing things put together. good luck.

 

finally, a motor with some ***** in that chassis

 

sickness, a buddy of mine also is doing the rotary in his ae86 here in gilbert, az...except he is going the rx8 engine route

 

lol thanks for all the kind words guys =) going to go pick up the 2 1/8 flywheel socket over the weekend, so picks of the teardown should be up soon after that =)

 

well here it is. the day i got it


got my size "bigass" socket


got the intake manifold off, and the fuel system off.



and how it sits now


sorry for the crummy pictures, camera broke =\

probably take off the rest of the intake today

going out probably tomorrow and getting a big breaker bar for the flywheel nut. seeing as how i only weigh 135, i doubt i can muscle it, haha. i'll keep you guys posted =)

as i was searching around for results of a 6 port bridge, i was wondering, should i just go with a 6 port street port template, and then bore out the port even more?

i know pineapple and stuff makes the 6 port templates for street port, and i know you CAN bridge 6 port engines, but at far as power with reliability should i just do a 6 port monster street port or 6 port street port template, then add the bridge myself?

sorry if that was confusing

-Garrett

 

if you do it by your self by eye then both rotors wont be exactly the same. and youll lose power.

 

that's true... so i guess just monster street port? is it possible to get a 4 port template and use it on a 6 port? i mean, really the only thing that would be untouched is the 5th/6th port right?

 

so... i'm having a real hard time getting the flywheel nut off... i used the torch method.. stuff not off, i got the front one loose though... any ideas?

 

well if you dont have air tools . pb blaster and cheater pipe. good luck!

 

So what have you tried? How do you stop the flywheel from spinning? A cold chisel and a good size hammer can be used to spin the nut loose. Some times the nut gets beat up bad. Get a new one for assembly, it'll be easier the next time then. Remember how soft your thumb is

 

well i have a cordless impact wrench, tried that, tried doing it after heating up the nut, tried a breaker bar with long pipe on it. how do i do the chisel idea?

 

Use the chisel on the corner of the nuts to spin it off. You will cut a gouge in the nut but that gives you a better bit. The impact on the nut will break it loose so you can spin it off. Make sure you're going the right way!

 

Chisel method can take a long time, but it does work.

 

i had to use a large sledge on a breaker bar once

 

well i still haven't gotten it off, but i tore the block apart, all that's left is the flywheel bolt to get the e-shaft out of the rear housing. front housing looks pretty dang good, a little gouging on the rotor, but nothing too bad. i'll take pics tomorrow, sleepy =p Night guys!

This looks awesome, love to see more pics!

 

pics coming soon, kinda skipped a few steps =\ i'll have pictures of how everything sits as of now, 1 rotor, one housing, one iron, and some other stuff, maybe even a pic of me if you guys are lucky

Who's making the engine/ trans mounts? I have a TE72 and and extra motor and tranny. Fabbing mounts is the only thing stopping me from tearing out the 3TC in favor of a stock 6 port.

 

I guess you could grab the balance weight in a vise now and start torquing on it...or take it to a big rig repair shop and ask them to get it off with their air tools. I believe some of their guns go >700ft-lbs.

 

awesome, thanks for the advice guys =) and as far as mounts, my bro, friend, and i weld and fabricate so ya, done deal =)

 

More on this car!
