okay hold on no don't drill the hole out turbo's don't need a **** load of oil to keep them lubed...can you get a pic of it and compare it to something

 

Today was a good day. It was almost 40 degrees outside. I have been outside since 9 this morning doing some work. Got 90 percent of the intercooler laid down and it looks good. Even fired up the car and moved it. ****** was frooze down to the ground it was a big hassle but it needed to be done.

I am officaly rounding the bend on completeion on this project. Exhaust will more than likely be handled buy a shop locally. Tuneing is a whole diffrent story. Hoefully with the help of the forum i will be able to get this dialed in.

Updated news....Taxes came back.....Welp.....I ordered a widebody kit from black dragon. Never ends with these cars. When it gets here i will begin to rip apart the front end.Intercooler might get moved based on the kit. I can install the front as we all know its just bolt on. The back will be done by my body shop!!!!

I really like these old school rims and hope i can do something to keep them. This project as like many others on the site starts with something mild....then goes full blown literally

Minor rust repair will be worked on aswell dureing this time. I have my heart set on Hugger orange but man...red is calling me!

 

looks nice. are those 4x110 rims. if you cant keep the rims id buy them. looks amazing. you are makeing me really want to turbo my first gen really bad.

 

yeah there 4x110 15's at that

 

Dizzy is locked timing is locked in or will be here in about twenty min to 10L 20T

Boost gauge installed Carb hat on. Working on fc Coil today. ALl thats left is the Downpipe exhaust system and hooking up the efi fuel pump.

As far as afm meter is concerned. I need some input from guys what readings i should be shooting for.

Gonna have to dial this thing in with the help of the forum as the muscle cars guys will be like blow through what no pistons what lol. Closet dyno is over 200 miles away >_<

 

IT LIVES!!!!! Small ping at idle dont wanna smell like fumes today so i dont feel like playing with air/fuel mixture. Its the only thing i can assume is makeing this slight pinging noise at idle.

Updated pic of how it looks now. Dp is on re clocked and ready to rock.

 

Congrats!!!!

 

When are you going to relocate the bat?

 

This weekend! It was last on the list. Along with the efi fuel pump where the carter is now. Havent driven it yet ....Much past the driveway. Worried about my slight pinging at idle asume its from the timing being advacned at idle and i need to fatten it up a little. Either that or my turbo is slapping! Wire managment is this weekend too. Then Hopefully soon as i know for a fact this thing runs good its off to the shop for paint and widebody

 

today was its maden voyage to the gas station boosting 5psi still have a small leak i think or the intercooler is aloowing 2 psi drop which i guess is possiable. ****** SCOOOOOOOOTS!!!!! YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!

 

post a vid

 

Legendary. Look at these pics makes me can't wait to drive my car again.

 

double post oops

 

i would like to but my digi dosnt have sound. I had a major exhaust leak i took the whole thing apart and redid it all. Took me about 4 hours but you just blip the throttle and she spools quick. I am spiking to 11psi then hold stable at 7. i knew i should have ported that damn wg

 

wow man cant wait till you can get a video.

 

Starting to tiddy her up. working on a video!!!!!

 

Sweet.......kick ***.....I'm glad we can add another blowthrough 12A to the world. It always warms my heart to know that there are a few people that actually finish a project like this without giving up halfway through. Looks like she should be a screamer . Rock on.........

 

Well i want to strip the engine bay down to the least amount of wires possiable. The Previous owner took rats nest out and did a pretty good job of engine wires. So i am left with re routeing those and cleaning up the rest. What all can get ditched. I want lights but other than that everything else can go. There are ballast resistors on the drivers strut tower wtf do they do??? What all can be ditched for the clean look.

 

take a pic of what your talking about sure some one will chime in and explain. if its what iam thinking your talking about its the fuse able link i believe.

 

negative. its behind the drivers strut tower right next to the brake master and the timing light in the picture!

 

my bad. i should know when to keep my mouth shut.

 

Traction in first whats that, Oh yeah thats when my car dosnt go sideways

Video this week people!!!

 

after reading this tread wouldnt it of been easyer to use an aftermarket FD single turbo manifold and mod it for the 12A?

 

i cant wait for that video clip...

 

Here yah guys go as promised please tell me what yah thin. i need to do wire management so bear with me on that
