CT MDD0101's 1989 TII rebuild

I got the car 2 summers ago with a blown motor and its finally almost running again. I recently sent the motor to Banzai Racing for the rebuild so most of the pictures are courtesy of them. They have GREAT customer service and I highly recommended them while im on the subject. I dont have any good pics of the car yet but once i start putting everything back togethor ill have a lot of pics..hopefully. Here's what I have so far....

1989 Turbo II with 77k












More to Come..

To prevent oil leaks when the motor flexes.

I have nothing but good things to say about Banzai Racing. Best customer service in person and over the phone. Chris and Elaine are the best. I have been dealing with Chris since he was in Michigan.

yes i do have emissions testing unfortunately...im uploading pics as we speak of the engine install. Right now im workin on figuring out all the vac lines/replacing them...running the engine harness(Ecu)..locating a new purge valve (which i broke while replacing vac lines)..and also replacing a broken waterpump stud..which is not going well.

To clean the tranny i just used engine degreaser and brushed away. I then cleaned it again with some laundry detergent and water..worked really well.
Of course i also painted it...
