As promised, jimbo, heres the build thread for the 'trac.
ill let you fill in the story of how you aquired it, ect, im just gonna post pics and info as i go about doing the work for ya.

so, lets get this show on the road!

first, jim came up friday with a '93 alltrac, that had a blown motor with no head on it, attached to the AWD tranny, hanging in the bay by only the drivers side mount.
in the back of his truck was a 3rd gen 3s setup, WRC tranny, and some random parts for the swap.

we got the car in the garage, and once i got the hood off and stared in amazement for a few moments, i started getting ready to litterally drop the motor out the bottom.
the crossmember and stuff was already out, all i had to do was remove the shifter cables, clutch line, and speedo gear.
i took out the 3 bolts holding the tranny bracket to the mount, and out it came with a thud.
joe gave me a hand pulling it out from underneath, we hung out for awhile, and that was that for friday night.
saturday morning, we went out and pulled the motor and stuff off the back of the truck, and got it into the garage.
the motor had parts of a TD06 turbo kit on it, and jim and i walked thru how he wanted it setup, and off they went.
today, i went out and got to work.
sorry for the blurry pics, for some reason my camara dont like to take pics under the floresent lights.

the bad 2nd gen and tranny



engine bay



the new motor (i had already clocked the turbo closer to where it will be in these pics)





minor clearance issue



whats wrong with this pic?



hrmm..a little gasket maker?



clearance issue solved, so lets make a screamer pipe!!

and the b-pipe

thats pretty sweet manny, wish you could weld alumminum lol

prob doin my swap in january so ill get the piping done and then send the beast over to you for the b-pipe, looks great!

Wow, looks awesome! Come do this to my st165!

Ugh - tell me about it. Stephen and I are STILL working out the bugs from early 6GC.net swap wires
It's about there now tho.



Manny and Jim - You two are the beasts of the east man. Great luck to you on this project [as if you'd need it LOL]

Jim - I need parts from your discarded 2nd gen BAD - Please hit me up [Shannon has my digits if you don't still]

lmao i love it

lmao we try, mattt. we try.

jim is on vacation with shannon till saturday. i really dont think he'll mind, just let me know if you need it. i think i may have one laying around from jims old 2nd gen setup to replace it if need be.

soo, not too much happening the past couple days, finished up the bpipe, just waiting on some parts to arrive, gonna go out in a while and clean up the welds on the b-pipe, paint it, and install it, and put the finishing touches on the IC piping before it gets sent for coating.

one cool thing that did happen is my cousin took jims wheels over to the local vo-tech school, and they are going to dismount the tires, clean up the bead seats on the wheels, install new valve stems, remount and balance them, all for free. gotta love that.
the bead seats are a bit rusty from the car sitting for so long, so the tires, even though they are like new, dont wanna hold air, the above should fix it right up!

pics over the weekend!

Love this thread. I can't wait for videos of this beast.

God - I feel so dirty for looking at these pics...

Looking good!

Manny how big of an upgrade is ct-20b to td06 and how much laggier is it ?

its a bit laggier, but 400whp capable.

a pic for the haters.

^^amazing.
where is that gonna go?

Looking good, glad my exhaust helped. V-bands FTW

its the battery hold down clamp for the battery relocation kit im making for jims car.
they will be available for sale for us 6th genners as well.

Looking great Manny, wtf is up with these late 80 early 90 toyota engine bays, my 88 corolla gts is tighter than sh!t,
and it looks like this is the same way, hope your knuckles survive.

got the intercooler tubes back from powdercoat last night, used a wrinkle silver finish on them, i think they look great.





a couple up close pics of the texture of the wrinkle finish.
