hey people im new here and I needed some opinions on my ae86.....i bought a ae86 from my cousin its a 86 coupe with a 2jz n/a 6 speed its not finished i think it only needs wiring and a couple minor things but i was wondering if i should just go with a turbo motor but if i do that would i need to reinforce the chassis,better suspension, different rear end? any ideas???

You'll definitely need to go with sturdier axles or rear end all together.

which rear end do u recommend i have heard something about a ford rear end but dont know from what car

MKII Celica Supra

OR

Weir Performance beefier axles, bearings and spool.

cool what about suspension wise? and do i need to reinforce the chassis if planning to go turbo?

Chassis reinforcement is strictly up to you. The 2JZGTE isn't going to rip the AE86 chassis apart unless you were putting down 500+ whp with really stick tires. Then I'd worry about serious chassis twisting.

thanks for the pointers......just need to finish my aw11 then im starting on the AE!

turbo turbo turbo turbo!

Lol tthats what im leaning towards

nice well it really also depends what your plans for the car is that should help you decide

like daily/track?

Well I want to fix it up show/track and be able to drive it around not daily buut like a once a week maybe

gotcha well good luck with it i hope it turns out good

thanks

Man, I say just stick with the 2jzge. I had a gs300 with the 2jzge and that moved ok, & could break the rear end lose pretty easy(auto). That's a 3300lb car!

In a little 86, with all that weight in the front, you're already gonna have traction problems. IMO.
