My 1984 SA22C GTX Turbo

It has been in the family for the past 33 years. Dad got the car after 6 months of waiting coming all the way from Japan to Malaysia.It was his dream car in his 20s and certainly my dream car when i could first recalled seeing it as a child.It's an original paint car and 78k kilometers on the body and 46 kms on the engine ever since its engine rebuild during the end of March.Mods done to it such as a spoiler , compomotive turbo wheels and a full Blaukpunkt sound system from the 80s. Below is the car now and some pictures from the 80s

Bagus!

Does anyone know what's going on with that fuel system? I've seen this intake before, but is it just the turbo nikki hat or is it a fuel injection system?

That's a stock 12AT throttle body and charge pipe. The TB looks like a 3bbl Nikki baseplate.

That looks like a blast to drive. So your tag says Kuching...looks amazing on Google Earth and like you might have some twisty mountain roads.

Wish had a more complete shot of engine bay. Pretty sure have seen pics of 12A turbo before & was injected,SE style airbox and lid had Turbo sticker. This one has familiar air flow meter & idle quality potentiometer seen on an SE. No airbox,filter is not stock. Was looking for FI fuel lines back by firewall and noticed what looks like a throttle positioner similar to what would be on a Nikki carb. What is in front of a/c condenser,oil cooler?
