ep85 transfer part no: http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_J_1994_TOYOTA_STARLET_EP85-AGMSK_3608.html
same part no's
so may be we can look at the theroy that the advance box is stronger shall we???? i could check all the part no's are the same?
^^ agreed, a 350bhp fwd starlet would probly do 0-60 quicker than a 350bhp 4wd, due to drive train loss.
the 4wd transmission is designed to handle the stock power of 75bhp.. although most things toyota are over engineered so exactly how much power one can handle is anyones guess, and luck probably plays a big part in that too :haha:
what you gotta think though is why you want a 4wd starlet.. ? to get traction.. but if its ganna run so much power that you cant launch it and drive it hard without risking the trans poppin it kinda defeats the object of going 4wd lol
yes i think 0-60 is a bit hasty, but i think he means once rolling in a straight line the 2wd will be quicker due to weight and drivetrain loss
It sounds like you are looking for an answer when there is no answer - No one in the UK has broken the EP85 drivetrain yet.
Feed it the power and see what happens. If something breaks then replace it with something stronger. That would appear to be the approach our AWD owners use and their bravery is highly appreciated.
We currently have a 200+ bhp and a 240+ bhp in NI and neither shows signs of quitting. I would await feedback from Trevor, Ted, Gaz or Wee John as each of them has firsthand experience in EP85 territory.
