I actually have 2 of the ex Gp A AE86's. One of them was raced by Bob & others in his team from 84 to 92. The other was a Gp A rally car converted to ciruit use by Bob & Adrian Brooke, then back to a rally car. The Carillo rod was never available to group A and is not listed in the Homologation papers. Group a was "series production", and as such, there were limited allowable mods. I worked on various of these Gp A cars when new. There was also absolutely no link to Formula Atlantic (as I have some of these engines also & have dealings with TRD enginners in the USA on such matters). Toyota did homologate 3 different special conrods (I have 2 sets), but they are modified "standard looking" forgings, of varying lengths. Argo, Crower, Carillo and other rods were tried by a few people (illegally), but mostly in the AE92 etc, when the 42mm crank was used. When Group A was coming to an end in 1992, a few of the rules got freeer, and a couple of sets of quad TB's were tried. One of my cars ran with a 1GG for a short time under what became "super touring" rules. Anyone is welcome to come take a look, or even better, help in their restoration
