The long road to V6 turbo AW11

[GDII]

Top man for finding that one Phill!!

Google. 'How to assemble MR2 Turbo CVs' Not that they are different to most CV joints.

[Mr-Paulio]

S54 axles fit just fine into my 1984 AW hubs

I'm guessing not with a 4A though? (Or at least only the short side?) As S54 axles have a 2 piece aileron the long side and the AW11 long one is 1 piece?

[Mr-Paulio]

Finished up the CAS cover
Bog

Sand and paint

And because Black looked too plain I added a bear grabbing his, balls??

Rebuild of the CVs didn't go so well. Supercheap gave me the wrong outer boot. Unfortunately I discovered this after cleaning both joints, adding the boots to the shaft, assembling the inner CV, greasing up both joints, installing the inner boot, installing the outer bo..... F@#k!!
So I'll be taking Supercheap back the greasy wrong boot this week! (I know I should have checked it first)

Managed to at least regrease and change the inner stub then paint the short side and the half shaft.

S54 is 1 piece left AND right. Am I missing something here?

You just made me crawl under my car in the garage. But okay, perhaps you are right! I thought it was the same as the turbo for some reason. Sorry.

All good. Only the high performance 80s/90s cars got equal length axles. Same goes for the 4AGZE AE101 Corolla or similar.

[Mr-Paulio]

I wasn't exactly motivated to make this video. But I nearly have the car back together.....

[Mr-Paulio]

Okay, input seal replaced so today's job was to rebuild.

What's a pain. I'll try not to do this again! (I'm sure it's fine with the right tools)

Gave it a clean up also.

And because I don't like shiny silver....

[lasersooby]

Looks really good mate,especially the job of building the gearbox. The finishing on the box looks awesome.

[Mr-Paulio]

Thanks
I rolled it over and did the other side today also.

I like black cause you can't tell as much if its dirty!

[Mr-Paulio]

Managed to get away for some shed time today to perform a marriage

I see that you masked off the input shaft spline but not the thrust bearing bush slidey thing.....

Just had a thought about the gearbox oil cooler too if you want to get it mounted and working, hose clips will hold any flexi lines in place as there isn't any pressure from the pump, unlike an engine oil cooler..

[Mr-Paulio]

You are right. But I did scuff the paint off with some scotchbrite pad and add a little grease and make sure the bearing slid nicely on there before assembly

Again right about the oil lines. But I have nice braided AN lines for everything else I thought I'd keep the look. Anyway I just need to get this guy running now so I can start on the other car. And will do little jobs like that after its tuned and back on the road
