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 anywaysBig Grin
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.
