several mod questions (pics of new car!)

Hey guys well i got some good news i just finished purchasing my TurboII i had to get rid of my old one because of some issues so i got myself another one 1987 TurboII 114k on chassis/motor 2+2 Red on Grey car was sitting for 6 months after going threw all the fluids i tried to start it ran great the cats were clogged so i cut them off running open downpipe right now but before it was running a little rough now that im running open downpipe car is running nice and smooth anyways on to the pics before i get there tho heres a list of things i have to do before car gets any kind of modifications

Change Oil
Change Spark Plugs
Change Tranny Fluid (synthetic)
Rear Diff Fluid (synthetic)
Flush Brake System put fresh fluid in
new 02 sensor

Bad things on the car

alot of rust on sunroof but plan to go CF soon
car doesnt shut off after you take the key out key ignition is bad
need exhaust
and secondary injectors arent kicking in so it sputters pretty bad past 3500 rpm





ill take more pics tmw when theres daylight this is after cleaning up the car real good vacuuming and taking off the HUGE amount of mildew all over the car and inside and there was house paint all over the rear had to get reducer and took it off after all that i gave it a nice wash and its now so fresh and so clean clean ;P
let me know what you guys think

looks good man. Get your injectors cleaned and go through all the grounds and stuff and i bet she'll be mint. How much did you pay for her?

Whatever you do, get your injectors fixed FIRST! Nice car, needs a little work but still nice. Do you have an specific HP goals for the car?

lol

i always say this ... GO WITH RACING BEAT ... you wont be sorry ...
you shouldnt need an FCD until you actually get a full turbo back exhaust ...

like others have said, i would run new grounds and start saving for an rtek and 720's .. i love my setup
im pretty much done with engine mods ...
im moving on to interior and suspension ...

then i might get some wheels ... .. not sure yet ..

i thought i saw some fujitsubos for the second gen's, are they not recommended for these cars... i know they are highly wanted for the toyota ae86's... not sure if it is desired on the rexes.

racing beat claims a 59hp increase with just their 3' downpipe so go from there and get a custom system after that as far as muffler choice go with somthing with a liftime warranty eg magnaflow .. because if you blow the fiberglass packing out of it they will replace it for free lol and they have a much deeper tone as apposed to other cheap canaster brands like ractive .. i actualy have an exhaust note vid of a racing beat header into full 3' but my downfall is i have a ractive muffler .. see links below for 2 diff exhaust notes on same car and same setup ..

Nice ride and at a good price..that is a deal and a half dude... I suggest going with RB if you got the money if not then just go 3" with a resonator in the center and magnaflow stainless steel, that warranty is pretty cool. It makes a good deep sound without all that noise. as far as the secondaries clean them at street and strip down south on SW 168th street in Perrine. I have a Haltech F5 i am selling for $200.00

sweet car tweak, i have a tii 87, w/ 255 walbro, safc2, racing beat 3"to 3.5" back, fcd, rb boost control, heavily modded tb, 550 injectors, the car runs unreal except at idle under 1k a little rich, need dynotuned. i still might do the turbo switch to my n/a, so i will stay in touch, someone in my club is doing one and i could follow his lead to, i'll be at miami gp r u?
what's your mileage? i am only getting 10mpg! also i paid 2x that for my car than you did.
