Well the day has finally come. My 85 SE TII swap is complete. I plan on doing a complete write up but just wanted to share some pics. Thanks to Robert at the shack for all his hard work and attention to detail. Enjoy the pics and any comments or questions are welcome.

I have only driven the car for about an hour today and it is a blast. The turbo kicks in fast and strong @ around 15psi. Man I am going to be getting into lots of trouble with this thing.

 

Nice I like Post more pics.

 

if you dont mine me asking where did u get the throttle cable bracket? i have the same set up carb wise and am in need of one. thank you nice car btw

 

very nice!

 

Schweed. What is the resivoua for? Is that just a pimp washer fluid tank, or are you doing alcky/water injection?

 

very nice, im hoping to be doing the same swap soon and i gotta ask a few questions. is it as easy as people say it is? and what are the dimensions on ur intercooler cause i cant find one that will give me good spool times or fit.

 

I was waiting for someone to notice and yes it is the alcky/water injection as you call it. It is a cooling mist with the variable control.

 

You would have to ask Robert at the Rotaryshack as he is the one who did the swap.

 

I would have to say the swap takes time and requires a high level of mechanical skill to do right. As far as the intercooler I will get you some demensions tomorrow.

 

more pics.

 

Cha Ching!! I want to spary alky, but gawd it's expensive. How's it hooked up? Does it just spray at WOT? Wait after some research it looks like it sprays according to boost. Is that it?

 

No kidding its not cheap. The controller allows you to set the boost level you want the water to start spraying and increases with boost. You can set the curve from mild to aggressive just by turning the curve ****.

 

Schweed. I was thinking about doing a DIY alky injetion system, but after looking at the cooling mist it seems amazing and well worth the extra $100-150. The DIY kits are still around $250

 

WOW! thats a crazy setup! What did you have to do to the carb. to get it "boost ready" ?

IS that an actual TII engine? Or are U just calling it a "TII swap" if U don't mind me asking why go with a carb? And not the TII FI setup??

Still thats awesome! Great job!

 

If you look at the pix you see that it is a T2 engine, and the carb was boost prepped by Robert at rotaryshack. He does great work and supplied many parts for my turbo FB.

 

nice setup. clean install. do you plan to hit the dyno?

 

This is an actual TII engine, its a Jspec engine. As far as going with the carb its easier to tune and cheaper than than EFI. Robert at the RotaryShack can boost prep your carb if you need it done.

 

We are still doing some fine tuning and then I do plan on hitting the dyno.

 

How much power would you guys guess I am making?

TII S5 engine
stock turbo w/intercooler
weber carb
water/ methonal injection

 

what type of battery are you running? It's tiny if thats what i'm seeing, unless it was moved inside.

 

nice job! am planing to do the same next year.if your motor is stock you probably will make around 240 hp.

 

It is a drycell race battery. It is alot smaller than a regular battery and weighs about 11lbs. They run about $120.

 

clean car!

 

Hey what is your rim offset? Looks like 15" rims.

BTW very nice car & job well done.

 

very cool! very clean install! is any of the smog on there? oh and i like the lil over bottle on the driver side!
