Ok I just picked this up from a guy that was moving back to the states. Needs some work still and everything is a mess inside the car but I think it's got potential. What do you all think.

 

Nice find the turbo looks kinda small though lol.

 

It's got potential for sure.

I think I see a hole in your exhaust, though. Get rid of that rusty thing.
Is your ecu harness hacked up? Why running two ecu's?
That charge pipe between the intercooler and the throttle elbow is unacceptable.

 

I don't know much about these cars but I beleive it is a small turbo it's a TD06.

 

yeah the exhaust is going it's way to loud for my taste, The ECU Harness is in good shape the only reason theirs two ECU's is due to the last guys installing methods...lol He just never mounted the PowerFC he just plugged it in and laid it on the floor as you can see. Why is that charge pipe unacceptable? Too Small?

 

Welcome.

The charge pipe is too small for that coupler and doesn't match in size to the rest of the system.

Looks like you have some work to do but still a good setup.

 

looks like it came with some goodies..

 

Your gauge cluster is not original.

Do tell, how can you tell it's not the stock instrument cluster?

 

Just looks like it has black trim rings instead of chrome. I think it looks pretty cool.

 

99 spec, or it seems like it is.

 

nice, how much you buy it for

 

For info, it's a Type S (base model), built on 16-9-1992.

Have fun, looks like you've got a bit of work ahead of you

 

The gauge cluster is original from what we can see here, standard JDM cluster. Good luck with her

 

Negative.

That is a 94+ cluster.

92-93 have 1/4 markings on the rev counter, not just 1/2 markings.

This was changed in 94.

The car was given to me by a guy that was moving back to the states bc he couldn't sell it in time. So to answer your question I got it for FREE!!

 

Wow I hate you! Great find though.

 

Free?! Lucky you! Have fun with it. Also, anyone know what the "E-" prefix is for in the model number? (Efini?)

 

So I finally got the car in my garage and started working on it. I fabbed up the new charge pipe. i was told the pipe that was on the car was to small so I fabbed the new one. Tomorrow I will be welding on the mount for the BOV, and getting it ready for paint.
Before:

new Charge Pipe:

 

Free is always good. I'd say you got one hell of a gem.

Good luck!

 

Dude when you get ready to pcs back to conus TMO it back !

 

Free FD? lucky guy! good job!

 

US market yes......Just because US Market FD are easy to identify doesnt mean the rest of the world was as easy.

For whats it worth, i'd lean heavily on the opinions from the guy from OZ and Ceylon regarding FACTUAL INFORMATION about Euro Spec FD's. Just Sayin'

 

This Type S isnt too far away from my car. Mine was built in (from memory) 19th September 1992. Mine is a JDM Type S as well, and I bet your chassis numbers are close to mine. Except mine is an auto and black...

Those gauge rings are not standard for a 1992 Type S JDM car. That cluster may be out of a 94+ JDM RZ car. Because I took the same cluster out of a 94 RZ JDM myself

 

Well i did some calling and research and apparently there is no way to get my car back to the states bc the RHD. but good news is i've got it running and got all the oil leaks & coolant leaks fixed now I'm in the middle of installing the Tru boost & AFR then it should be ready to hit the road.
