Wnt3d's 86 - Turbo E85 Daily/Track Build

[wnt3d]

As most people on here, I've been quietly collecting parts over the years and have finally almost obtained most things that I've wanted. Originally intended to keep the 86 fairly standard since I've had a few modified cars before and did not want another low, loud and police attention car again. But it didn't last long until the mod bug hit and small upgrades started to arrive. The standard 197hp did not satisfy my need for power so the search for forced induction was on.

Fast forward 18 months and almost every corner of the car has been upgraded in someway or somehow. Turbo kit will be installed in the coming week and I'll update as I go.

Since the stock clutch is known to slip with forced induction I decided to upgrade it while doing a gearbox oil change which was due soon anyway. I didn't want to choose anything too heavy duty like a twin plate or something that's either on/off, and some what similar to the stock pedal feel. The HKS LA (Light Action) clutch kit comes with a lightened flywheel, and is rated at 400Nm (41Kgm / 295lbft) which approximates to 295kw (400ps) while supposedly retaining stockish pedal weight.












Stock clutch removed and all cleaned up

Also forgot to add that whilst the car was up on stands with the gearbox out I ended up installing STI engine & transmission mounts, whiteline suspension goodies, subaru oem oil cooler and finished off running the wires and sensors for the defi gauges.

I ended up routing the wires along side the main engine harness under the intake plenum and through the firewall via the main rubber grommet. A TRD water temp adapter and oil sandwhich plate were used to mount the water temp and oil temp sensors. The oil pressure sensor is connected directly to the top oil gallery port next to the throttle body. The fuel pressure sensor is connected via a flare tee fitting with 1/8 NPT thread, clamped between one of the fuel rail supply hoses.

Diagram with the wires coloured in to illustrate my routing method

Wires enter through grommet within a 'self closing braided wire wrap'. - It made it alot easier to run 1 bundle of wires behind the dash instead of 5 individual ones.



And the end result, exactly how I wanted it. I know to alot of people its not their cup of tea to have so many gauges when you can have many alternate methods to display the same parameters with less difficulty, but I've always loved the old jdm race car feel with gauges everywhere!

Wow certainly took your time and did things right. Lot of work and money into the ride, love the look and the quality of work done. Big two thumbs up.

Thanks buddy. It has been a long road hoarding parts but its finally time to enjoy it all!

I've been following your JDL 4854 install/review thread for good photos and install shots before I started mine, was of great help!

Question - where did you plum the crank case ventilation hose that usually goes into the intake if (a) your not running a catch can setup, yet (b) my alloy intake piping doesn't have a a fitting point for the hose?

I have both pcv and crankcase vent to fullblown catch can but my intake pipe had a nipple to connect the crankcase vent similar to oem setup. I could have gone both ways. What I've seen people do is attach a breather filter to the crankcase line and leave it, somewhat the same as running it back to a catch can and venting. Glad I was able to help in any way. Right now I upgraded to a Garrett and had to run the coolant lines for
It, pretty messy experience lol.

Heres my line route, one from pcv to can and the crankcase line also to can.

Very awesome build.

[yomny]

Keep us posted on the track experience and how the cooler handles it. I've been dying to jump on the track but afraid, still need my oil cooler though.

[MisterSheep]

Thats one sexy lookin car you got there! Definately subscribing to this thread. Keep us posted on the turbo set up and any more tack days you'll end up doing.

Keep up the good work!

[Top-Secret]

very clean work. keep it up
and more pictures

[10Stars]

Quality build right here.

That Nur spec looks so good without the wing.

I have to ask, after replacing the clutch did the marbles-rolling-down-a-pipe sound when the engine is labouring become reduced/disappear?

After second thought's I'm going to get a barb fitting attached to my intake to plum it properly and will most probably go with a radium dual can setup. I was worried if by running a filter at the end of the hose and tucking it, if it may cause any flammable blow by to spray onto the hot engine and risk catching alight

I'm not quite sure what you mean? where's 'this sound' coming from you speak of?


- thank you everyone for the kind feedback, just waiting for some titanium heat wrap to arrive and I'll wrap up the manifold and have more pretty pictures of the install as I go. In the mean time I still need to plug in the injectors, fuel pump and ebc.
