cool setup. hows megasquirt treating you?

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Looks hot as hell. What kind of power you think? Those cars look so flimsy to me, but it can't be anything but a blast to drive I'm sure. Hot mani!

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Thanks guys, the MS is great had it in my FX16 for like 2 years and just swapped it over.
I have to tune it a bit more since the GTS has a higher comp than my other motor.
So I'm gonna try to go for 250hp to see if it can hold it and then wen it pops the built GZE
from the FX16 goes in :)
And ya it's a real blast especially in the rain ;D
Heres the FX currently being stripped of the rest of the goodies and going to the crusher

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

What coilpacks on the fx16? I want some.

Nice build, i cant believe you got a ramhorn, a holset and a 3"dp in that tiny area Nice work

I would post my corolla, but it's not boosted... yet...

I can't believe your going for 250whp on a stock bluetop, Impressive.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Nice manifold. Did you have any clearance issues with anything?

Those looks like Chrysler coilpacks, Joel. And post pics anyway.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Just curious why you said the fx's bluetop has lower compression than your gts,

All TVIS 4age's have had the same compression ratio since they were introduced and ended production.. 9.4:1

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Ya on the FX I used the neon coils for a bit, but I switched back to the
Ford one. And the FX doesnt have a bluetop it's a GZE, 8.0 - 1 pistons,
ported head, basically a mild build.
And hopefully the bluetop holds for a bit since I just swapped the headgasket
a week ago before the turbo.
PS That downpipe was a damn pain in the ass took me all damn day to fit it in
nice and tight by myself, think I took it off and put it on like 50 times, but it
was worth it since everything hugs the block.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

should have went with a top mount, looks alot meaner.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Looks great.Nice to see some more boosted Toys and that is a solid looking setup :y

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

GZE comes with coilpacks stock. The stock top mount on the GZE look like a slightly bigger stock bluetop oil cooler. :X My 86 was nasty to drive in anything but dry weather and with the TRD 2way it made it worst over the stock open diff. No matter how many boosted rolla's I see I still don't miss my old hatch whatsoever.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Not all GZE's came with coilpacks... 8.0:1 Largeport GZE's were all distributor, Only Late model 8.9:1 Smallport GZE's were DLI which meant that they used coilpacks

Factory GZE topmounts suck, Most topmounts suck, they just heatsoak off the engine. Plus function> Everything else

I Dunno if you'll get too 250whp on a stock bluetop, most people have them pop at around 200, the factory pistons just can't take the stress... But I say give er ----.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

pitobread I think he meant a top mount turbo, and ya I wanted to do that
but I already had all the stuff made so thats what I used.
And yes the FX has the older GZE that used the distributor.
And the 250 hp should be doable, if a damn d16 can do it than so can I ;D
All I need now is to figure out how to do a supra tranny swap :y

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

nice ride nekka. but my gts would smash yo. :-*


for some reason i can totally respect your attitude against this car.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

Hey myAE86turbo you better bring it :-* BTW what you running?? & gimme some pics.

stillnoturbo what tires did you have?? I got 215 15 50's on the gts and have no
problems in the rain unless I push it.

Re: Another boosted 85 GTS
 

it use to be that i was the only one with a boosted corolla on here...like 4 years ago. it was hmt boosted 4agze with 20v ITBS, turbonetics t3, 2.5 dp, SDS, starion intercooler, ramhorn manny (that i cracked to ----). it was pretty fun. now i wanna restore it right, ground up and sell it on speed's barrett jackson for 250k in 10 years to all those asian kids that wanted them now. they should have madd accounting money by then. lol.
