Hi guys,

I have a toyota sprinter AE86, and i have just got a new LSD for it.

It is a R31 disc brake (borgwarner) 3.9 lsd rear end, professionally cut down and modified to suit the sprinter, Fully reconditioned with all new parts.

It has not yet been put in the car. The guy i got it off, had the work done, but never put it in his ae86 because the shell caught fire when the car was getting fully resprayed. Unlucky bloke. He paid $2600 for it to be done, i bought it off him for $1800.

I got it yesterday, and i posted a topic on www.drivingclub.com (AE86 forum). I then got a reply, saying those lsd's are shithouse, and i should try to get a better centre for it. He suggested Kaaz. So, i came to this site hoping someone may have some info or an answer for me :)

thanks guys,

J. Riftin

yeah if its the cone type lsd centre they arent the best of units. i installed a kaaz centre into a turbo vl about 2 months ago and there needs to be some extensive mods made to make it fit. i had to grind down the pinion teeth to get it to fit and it took a while to get it 100% otherwise the pinion hit on the centre as it is a much larger unit. if you plan on getting one i would get someone who knows exactly what there doing to get it done right the first time. good luck

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
