I have had all this stuff for over a year and a half now, well finally it has come time to turbo the 7, I will be starting in two weeks when I get home for xmas break. SHould have it running in a week after that, but not drivable because of the carb. Just want to start it up and make sure everything is cool. Getting more carb stuff for xmas so I guess I will just wait to tune it. I have a PLX M300 wideband to use too.

Here are some pics of the turbo and manifold










I am thinking about not locking the distributor and just retarding it to start with. But not positive on that yet. I will be running a drawthrough setup with my holley carb.

 

I like your car thats nice. which side skirts are those?
Im doing my project right now but im swapping a TII drivtrain. Ive spent alot of money though getting everything rebuilt and ported(S4 engine, turbo)
I wish that i was at home from college right now so i could post some pics of it but im going back this weekend so ill try to do it then

 

I'm hoping to find be able to find a means to afford a jdm 12a Turbo engine to drop in my '83 GSL. I had hoped to have it by now, but costs of moving out and various other things that went wrong with both my 7 and my Jeep at the same time has dwindled my cash to squeeze the $930 dollars just out of my budget. I'm shooting to have it done and running by April for Rotary Revolution in Indy.

 

Good luck, bud. I too am getting ready to start my turbo project. Saving up the cashflow, as usual to get all the necessary parts. Hope your car is a strong runner. Good luck, once again.

 

Drawthrough... Do a blow-through. Its much better. Can do a lot more with blowthrough.

 

I agree with you, WackyRotary. Blow through's a more effective, less costly, and still bring about great Hp gains! up to you.

 

Yeah, why drawthrough?

cheaper, have all the parts, don't need to screw to much with my carb. If I would do anything else it would be fuel injection,. . lol I just wanted to do something different. Definitley costs less than a blow through...
