Post

I am debating on getting rid of my 86 Corolla. here are some specs on the car. It is an 86 Toyota Corolla SR5, converted to a GTS then to a Nissan drivetrain.

Engine+Drivetrain: Ca18DET w/5-speed swap.(177hp stock) Custom Mounts/BracketsCustom wiring harness Custom Driveshaft T28 S14 Turbo 3 Puck sprung clutch Custom 2.5'' Exhaust (Greddy DD Style) No Cat No Muffler(had the piping) 2.5'' Intercooler piping Small GTR intercooler(i beleive) HKS Hi-flow mushroom filter JDM ECU(also have a Euro ECU) Turbo Supra Fuel pump GTS Disc rear LSD New Clutch Slave Cylinder 450cc DSM injectors(not intalled)

Brakes: NEW Front and Rear Calipers Brembo Front rotors (Cross drilled/Slotted) 88rotors Rear rotors (CD/S) All new Ceramic pads New rear brake lines (hard and rubber) Brand new Master Cylinder New E-brake Cables- E-brake not hooked up Suspension: Greddy Type S Coilovers all the way around NRG innovations Front Tension rod brace(not installed) Tien Tension rods(not installed)

Apperance: Body fully in primer, needs a little fine work but everything is done (2) sets of 13x7 wheels 4 Old school nissan wheels 4 American racing baby supra's(no tires)

Interior: All black interior GTS seats Nothing on the cluster works Autometer Coolant Gauge Autometer oil press. gauge(not in the car) has borrowed Faze boost gauge(doesnt go with the car) back half is stripped.

This car weighs 2550 with me in it(im about 180-190) and is running about 5-6psi. it feels like a mid 14 second car id say 14.4-14.6 area.

What it needs:

I bought and installed a new brake Master Cylinder, i was having a big brake fade issue with the car and i tried 2 rebuilt master cylinders with no luck, i think both of them were bad. I get really good back brakes but not much front. i think it might need a $20 brake proportioning valve.

Also the car has no BOV on it i had a greddy Type S lined up but it fell through.

And the last thing it needs is a new oil pan gasket, i replaced the gasket kind of quick on a cherry picker and it didnt go as well as i thought.

the gasket is like 15. if i dont end up selling it im going to fix it and paint it and do some drifting at St estache in canada.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. i have over 7K into this setup. i also have some 450cc DSM injectors that go with it, they are a drop in deal and you can get a tuned ecu on ebay from enthalpy, my friend bought one for his KA24DE(T) and it was better than his dyno tune. so i would recomend going that route for more power. or doing it yourself as many of you do.

The car isnt perfect, it may have things wrong with it that i dont know. but obviously you should expect this car to need some attention.

I also have a spare motor/turbo man.turbo transmission ect for it.

im looking for as close to $4600 as possible or possible trade/cash. Would be interested in a 94-97 F250 Powerstroke Diesel. best way to get ahold of me is through e-mail [email protected]
