the p.o. is my brother in law so i knew everything about the car good and bad when i got it, unfortunately do to my line of work i was not able to get my hands on it for over a year
In the year that it sat in Arizona OUT IN THE SUN!!!! with the WINDOWS DOWN!!!!!
THE ECU WAS REMOVED ,THE CROSSOVER PIPE WITH BLOW-OFF VALVE REMOVED TURBO PARTLY DISCONNECTED UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD UNBOLTED, THE GREDDY BOOST CONTROLLER TORN RIGHT OFF THE STEERING WHEEL. and the list just goes on and on. so i am just in shock and awe in the stat of the car and what i am going to have to in order to get her up and running and the way i want it!! it is going to a long road and i plan on updating every step of the way. i am close to Huston so anyone that sees this and knows of any local rotary shops and clubs any info is greatly appreciated her are some pictures of the car when my wonderful wife picked it up for me. next post will be of the direction i plan to take this build and and following shortly will be my tear down and assessment of the motor thanks and god bless

Update
Hello everyone just a little update got home tonight and had my rotary works v-mount waiting for me I’m going to actually be breaking in to the car over the next 10 days or so while I’m off so I’ll be pulling it apart and doing some inspections on the motor to see just what I’m dealing with since the car has been sitting for so long. So updates to come fingers crossed it’s not a total loss but all and all I’m pretty impressed by the quality of the vmk for the price bov is nothing to wright home about bout hey it came in the kit will be replaced with a newer hks maybe still looking at a few and I will be using Wiggins clamps once they arrive so so excited to finally get to do some work on the car

Ok so I decided I wanted to see how the kit looked on the car and how it all fit I worked on the car for about a day and half in between everything with the holiday going on so I took the turbocharger off and cleaned and inspected it it looked good so for now it goes back on. I cleaned the upper intake manifold removed old rad and ic and started the task of installing the rw kit imo the worst part of the kit is the lack of hardware and any kind of information on how it goes in. So with a few try’s and some help from google lol I got it all figured out some modifications were required but it’s to be expected. Mounting the ac condenser was probably the hardest part of it all and now my fans wires are going to need to be lengthened but I will be coming back to that if any one has any information on that I would appreciate the help. But anyway here’s some pictures
