To clear up any misinformation....

The main differences between an AE86 GTS and SR5 are:
* Engine (4AGE 16V DOCH EFI vs. 4AC 8V SOCH carb)
* Rear end (with GTS having an option for LSD, number of bolts are different too)
* Final gear 4.3 vs 4.1 (5spd, SR5 auto has I think 3.9)
* Rear brakes (solid disc vs. drum)
* Rear sway bar (GTS yes, SR5 no)
(keep in mind, swapping certain things over from SR5 to GTS isn't exactly plug and play)
The rest is mostly cosmetic. For a daily driving around town, SR5's really aren't that bad.... It feels like a 4AGE until you pass 4000rpm. If you found a whole rear end axle to axle from a GTS (preferably LSD) and put it an SR5, it's okay car (it may not have the power of a GTS, but it would handle about the same).
No AE86 GTS ever came with independant rear suspension from the factory, GTS and SR5 are both solid rear axle. There's a kit (Hotstaff?) to convert the AE86 to IRS, but it probably costs a fortune (you might as well buy a Miata, or an S13 if you want IRS that bad).

The 4AGZE was a supercharger option in the later AW11 MR2 (140hp). This was also available in the USA. There is a more powerful 4AGZE found in the front wheel drive AE92 and AE101 (165-175hp?) Levin/Trueno in Japan. They stopped production of this engine after finding out that sales of the AE101 with 20V were better than sales of the AE101 with GZE.

The GT-V is actually a bare bones version of the GT-APEX. A GT-APEX was the luxury model and had more options than the GT-V. A GT-V pretty much looked like a basemodel AE85, but had all things an AE86 had. It was kind of the enthusiast model, for the guys that would buy one specifically for racing and would've stripped out the luxury options anyways.
The closest Japanese equivalent for the SR5 was called something like the Trueno/Levin SR. Actually, we have a better base model than the Japanese (4AC vs. 3AC, AE86 chassis vs. AE85 chassis).Last edited by TJ86; 05-22-2004, 01:15 PM.

So the gt-s is the better of the 2?
From all the info ty to all the gt-s would be the better drifter? How often is the gt-s found with the LSD? i know a place that does 20valve swaps but idk how much they charge is it worth to do it if say the price range would close to 2,000-4,500 dollars?

If you do find a GT-S and want to know if it has LSD, look at the pumpkin for a "LSD Oil Only" sticker, or jack it up in the rear and turn one rear wheel. If the other one turns in the same direction, you've got LSD. If the other one doesn't turn you may have a very worn out LSD (I've seen it). If it turns in the opposite direction, it's an open diff.
