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..

 

that's a pretty motor...i just pulled mine, and i can't wait to get to the stage where it is back together like that ;D

 

ooh definitely loveing the silver and black color scheme! keep that up man!

 

does this oil pan have studs?? mine all have bolts...

 

Thats a Banzai Racing oil pan brace.

 

what exactly is the advantage of the oil pan brace?

Lloyd

 

To prevent oil leaks when the motor flexes.

 

I thought it looked different... Good stuff. I just build engines with OE crap.

 

some more parts

 

everything is so clean man looks great!

 

more pics..

 

holy clean!.. looks amazing keep it up man

 

really great looking! keep up the good work!

 

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.

 

progress....

 

are you really REUSING THE FUEL LINES????

 

No, they will be replaced.

 

wow one clean piece nice.

 

dammm thats a sexy motor.

 

looks good. why you are keeping the rats nest? do you have emissions testing in your area?

 

i was going to say that. boo for rats nest!

what was your process for cleaning up that tranny?

 

So beautiful! .... and now jealousy sets in

 

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...

 

 

nice man im pumped to see this all up and running cuz its such a clean car!
