my soon to be done 81
this is what i started out with

 

estevan62274: nice intercooler piping, looks clean. Interesting that you were able to retain the battery in the stock location. What size is it?

 

Dry cell? I think it is. They're small.

 

ODYSSEY 680, it works ok! struggles in the winter when its really cold out.

i might as well contribute

 

ViperGTS, I welcome you to the Brotherhood Of The Blue Piping!

 

OK i got one problem that bugging me on my 81/12a. I'm new to this type of engine (its also the oldest car i've worked on). its my new project i got for 150.00 and its missing parts. i got all the parts needed but 2 and it driving me crazy not knowing what it is.



i wanna know which wiring harness that connects to so i can get the connection for it and what is it the they connect to. Is it the ignitors, fuse box, some type of bracket, or ground point of some kind. answer to either should be good enough for me.


That out the way. I love most of these set-ups i'm seeing. I didn't even think about none of this, let alone knew it was possible. Thanks for making the thread "project 88 gxl!"

 

That is awesome... I can't stop druelling on my computer.

 

This is my 13b bridgeport 51mm weber downdraft

 

my 84 GSL-SE

 

 

As it sits now, will be cleaning soon

Still waiting for intro thread to show up...

 

just gone from 45dcoe to a 51ida on a 13b street port, want to tidy up the wiring this year, have already changed the K&N to mesh

 

ive got some ways to go, but gentlemen (and ladies) meet Mr Peepers

 

Very nice, can you post up details of your setup? BP Motor? What size carb?

Also like those coilovers but they dont look like Re-Speed?

 

Bone Stock 12A

 

That's no bridgeport.

 

holy periport, batman!

 

Yea you're right.. now that I look at it again definitely looks to be a PP.

 

Here is my bay from when i first got her

to before the motor was pulled


and after it got put back(partialy).


Maybe ill take some more recent pics soon.

 

Coming along nicely, Chino.

 

Mr Peepers is built from NEW factory filled irons, NEW 83-85 rotors, shaft, hardened gears, comp oil pump, comp oil pan. rotor housings are custom, i bought em like that, but PP is close to mazda's port timing.

carb is a weber 48ida, on a custom intake. exhaust sucks, but its crap header into 3" borla, its too loud

the car used to be a pro7 car, so its got ground control stuff on it. full cage....

 

here it is

 

The way she looks in the new chassis.






I have to take some newer pics, The wife has the camera so on a nice day i'll get even more current pics.

The engine in its naked glory.

 

My 85 GSL. Took out AC, windshield washer fluid bottle, and cold start bottle. This motor is FILTHY!!!
