It's Alive!
 

If you check out my car domain site, here , you'll see that I have been working on my 85 gs for quite some time now. Just about everything that I could possibly think of has been replaced on that car, and 1 year and way tooo much $$$ later, I got it running today! Started right up. Here's a video.
You can't really tell from the video, but that was one of the loudest things I have ever heard. Well, it looks like I have about wrapped up thios project, what next? There just happens to be a box in my garage with a turbo, downpipe, boost controller, guages, and intercooler, so we'll just have to see where it goes :D

Well, I'm bumping this! I've worked for a solid year on this, give me a little feedback! Im hurt by you lack of responses! Well, not really, but I do need some recognition-

Nice! I checked out the car domain site, but didnt look at teh video because of my 56k :p: . Looks like you did a real nice job :). Isn't it a great feeling to be working on a project for so long and finally get to see/hear it in action? I just hope i get to have that feeling soon...

:bigthumb: Looks nice. I think you should ditch the beehive and get an air/oil cooler. Oh and dont expect that paint to last on teh header. ;)

yea, the paint smokes and bubbles every time I start the car :D I have an old volvo oil cooler that I might use, but hose fittings and braided lines are expensive!

Just find a used Mazda one. Look for a FC in teh junkyard and take the cooler and the lines, mounting brackets. You can modify it all to fit.

Looks great, well done! :bigthumb:

Do you have any details or pictures of how the wheel wells were fabricated? That would be great to see.

looks nice! i want to see a pic of the box of turbo parts!!!

I can take some pictures of the wheel wells some this weekend when I'm back home. I'll get some pictures of the turbo goodies too in a few days, 680rwhp12a, I'm going to drop you a pm sometime, I have a few questions you might be able to answer.

Good job.
