NEED HELP

[robokill]

well no SR5 are being sold in US for less than 1000 euro's and its hard work getting everything swaped. A good engine is more rare than a good hachi Most engine lost their real power due to bad maintance

ae86tuner,

your car is rear wheel drive, its just that SR5 has an open diff, no LSD and it has drum brakes in the rear so need to swap the axle aswell..

you also seem to need a new windshield.. hmmm

but nice buy though, drive around with it first, SR5's aint bad to start with. There is a guy on here who swears by tuning SR5 engine's, there's even an SR5 turbo running around somewhere..

I would go for jamiemirrors option 2 in the long run though

You are RWD

SR5 and GTS both are RWD

SR5 doesn't have LSD, drumbrakes and has less powerfull 8valve carbed engine, thats all

[AE86tuner]

so swap wise, what would easy, and what would be the best.

i didn't even buy it,i traded the quest for this car plus 300 bucks. so i quess a WOOT is in order here?

ae86tuner,

well a carb to EFI swap is always troublesome because with EFI comes alot of wiring and all that sorta stuff.

The rear axle is supposed to be an easy swap, especially if you don't mind staying with drum brakes. You're really only interested in LSD and I heard drum brakes are better for drifting if you wanne use the e-brake anyways
It's finding an axle that is the hard part.

Engine wise. Well first thing you should do is find someone around who knows his stuff, you don't wanne start on an engine swap if you don't know what you are doing or if you have to rely on some local tuning shop. Best thing to do is to just start with the SR5 engine. If you know a little about carb tuning you can still do some stuff with the SR5, it won't win any drag races, but there are still some cheap options. DO a search on SR5 on the board and try and find that other guy in america who's got alot of SR5 tuning experience.

If you do know someone who knows his stuff about engine swaps, and you got the money to swap, best thing is what jamiemirror sais, go for the 4AG with carbs. Going with carbs means a whole lot less mongo jombo with wiring and shit, its just way more easy. You can just drop the engine in there, hook it all up and all you need is something to make sure the spark plugs get some juice at the right moments in time. There is loads of info out there on this stuff. The only real problem with a carbed 4AG is that the carbed setup itself aint cheap.

If you wanne go for the whole GTS swap and go fully EFI, make sure you just buy a wrecked GTS. Thats the only real way to do it unless you really know your stuff.

Let me put it this way:

You NEED the rear axle...or else no LSD, this will give you a hard time going sideways.

You also need a 4AGE engine (not too difficult to obtain).
Want to keep it simple, get sidedraught carbs, want to make it fuel injected then you need the wiring looms, ECU, probably a fuelpump and upgraded fuel lines (SR5 stuff is not big enough).
It's not that hard at all if you put your mind to it.. but swapping stuff over from a wreck or something would make life a lot easier, that way you know where everything goes.

How much is the quest worth? and how much is an SR5 worth these days?

SR5 still go for a nice amount of money, not as much as a GTS but with GTS's getting more rare, it still drives the price of the SR5 up.

So if the SR5 drives good, and the only problem is that cracked windshield, you probably did a good buy.

well the carb needs rebuilt, which i have friend that will do it for free, and he know alot about carbs. so really find a 4ag motor, but the carb for it? or does it alredy come that? i am seaching but no find. i am learning alot form this forum so plz don't get mad at me from learing so much from u guys.
well right now getting sideways isn't really that high up there, but then again. how much is the rear end? any shop carry them like a online store or do i have to do junkyard and forum hunting.

what motor do i have right now? engine code.
