And Ivan, one last thing abou the "monster" :-)
As we know, stock AE86 tranny will break over ~200 hp (estimated).
So, I will try to build the "right" car, not some kind of monster. For me is more important that torque curve is flat insted of very high hp's in narrow RPM band. The interesting part is to use turbo with these carburators - this is strange setup, but by my opinion - I have chances for success.

Cool...a carb+turbo project!
Is there already a method for pressurizing the float chamber present on the carbs or are you going to rig something up?

[jamiemirror]

Yes, there is 2 methods:
1. carburators in a pressurized box
2. presurizzed (instead ot vented) float chambers only (I prefer that)
The second one is aplicable only if carburator seals are strong enough (I hope that DelOrto's are - Lotus used DelOrto for turbo-cars in the past). I have ajdustable FPR for ~0.2 bar from Lancia Delta 1.6 turbo and another one (non-adjustable) from Renault 5 turbo.

Hi, welcome to the forum

I'd like to know which lada (samara, desetka, etc.) radiator did you use and what did you have to change to bolt it in. Did you have to weld something, make inserts, etc. ?

Regards
Andrej

The aluminium 2107 radiator is not mega-upgrade but I found that this solution provides me with ability to add water temp. sensor without use of AE82/92 thermostat housing ! Aluminium is better than the old AE86 radiator.

Hmmm, I've seen some awesome wild Lada action this summer and IMO those cars are just good quality low-tech cars which keep on running.

Euh, he put in a 2107 radiator.

I'm also interested in this. I need a new radiator badly.

About radiator:
I use lower part (lower tank) from original Toyota radiator as foundation.

Cut the lower tank, make two beds in order to fix the Lada radiator and change a little top radiator braces. The difference here is that new radiator have side tanks (not up and down as the Toyota one) and more important - the top-side water pipe is placed on opposite side. I use long water pipe from Lada Niva and ~90 angle plastic elbow near the thermostat housing (just to prevent tube scrubbing). This plastic elbow has air-drain plug and is from Moskvich 2141/Aleko - another russian car :-) (but this is not so important element - you may choose S-shaped water tube to avoid this elbow element).

I found 4-pot front calipers from old BMW 728i. The brake disks were 280 mm, 25 mm thickness.
They need adapter plate in order to fit to AE86 mounting holes. Also I bought new adjustable brake proportion valve.
