Glad to know somebody succesfully turboed a Nikki - that's where I want to go eventually. What did you do to prep it?

Nice setup Gregs.

As for the piston powered car, why did you use a ford engine. As everyone should know, ford sucks. I just don't have any faith in them seeing how many I work on at my co-op placement. But my whole family and my co-op supervisor all hate fords, so I'm probably just biased. I like to think of mazda as the company ford copied, then joined together with. If you ever notice, ford did a good thing and used the same steering column in the Escort.

Since I have no under the hood pics worth showing ( lol ) , I'll just explain what you're looking for/at. Those hoses are actually part of the rats nest ...

I do recommend having it hooked up if you wanna pass emisions, cuz or else you won't , lol, if not, then remove it. It's not doing much so ... up to you !!

Cyas !

Now, I have a question. In my engine bay, on top of the motor, there are quite a few plugs not connected to anything in the area I circled on the last picture. What are those for?



Oh and my air filter looks very similar and the carb set-up as well...is this the stock Nikki carb? Looking at pictures, my carb doesn't look anything like it....looks more like this...maybe I'm looking at it wrong, or maybe I'm just clueless when it comes to carburators. Help! Hehe I need to figure out what it is so I can get a rebuild kit.



N O S !

I want a RHD!
