Team Project: Mini Monster
Tuesday, March 29, 2011 at 11:45PM So for the past few months I've been working on my own project... I don't know what to call it so for now it'll be the Mini Monster the V86? The engine is a 1UZFE from a Lexus LS400 mated to a W58 tranny in my AE86. Why? 256hp, 260 ft-lb of torque, revving out to 6500 RPM. Not too bad for a V8. The weight is abou 466lbs with tranny, which is lighter than your sr20det at 490lbs and F20C at 540lbs. We will see what happens!
I had to do some custom mounts with some minor subframe "adjustments".
Then some chassis reinforcement.. Learning how to seamweld on my own car. FUN!
Some engine bay prep work and paint! Gold for good luck!
Get that engine together with a custom bellhousing to a W58 tranny.
And toss that mofo in!!
Got some small stuff to work out, get it all running. Hopefully more updates soon!
