Its sad though to see the 12a go the way of the dodo. Best of luck like i said on the phone its only a matter of time before the 20b conversion. I remember when i was doing my 12a you where so content with yours and saying 13b ack don't need it
But as always the quest for more power changes plans drastically. If i had the resources here for parts at reasonable cost i would not have left the platform. I am sure it wont take long before i get sick of 400 and start looking for 600 lol cars are a bitch sometimes. Especially when you have the skills

 

Thanks for the kudos Ben. The Turbo 12A isn't going far. I am putting it in a friends car when it comes out. As far as I know, we will be the only two Turbo FBs in the state. Got alot done today. All I have left is pulling the hood and starter, and the 12A can come out.

Day 2

 

Parts to be cleaned and repainted.




Ummm, second gen FMOC!

 

To get over my current power, I would have had to pull the 12A out and port it. The old girl has served me well, and destroyed many competiters I had planned on going this route, but fortune has been in my favor with the TII engine. Anywho, I pulled the hood, starter, and engine today.

Day 3

 

This girl will still be a destroyer in another car. It will go in my friends 85 GS to kill again! HAHAHAHA

 

Today I finished the engine bay wiring. I got the coils, fuse box, map sensor, resister pack, etc, mounted. Looking good!

 

I'm glad that I took the time to pre build the harness before I pulled the engine. Everything is just falling into place........

 

That sir, is a thing of beauty. I'm just hoping when I redo my harness it full look something close to this but wow, I've never seen a cleaner wiring harness before man great work

 

Got alot done the last couple of days. Motor is in and and almost complete. Just have to make my plug wires and button up a few things. Will post some pics later tonight.

 

Well, here's the pics as promised. A little late today because I spent most of the evening putting the finishing touches on it. I actually tried to bust it off tonight. Got late, so I decided to hang it up for the night. The only issue I've run into is I have a leak at the water pump. I guess I'll pull it off tomorrow and reseal it.








Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

 

looks like some good progress so far.
hey if you dont mind me asking, you mentioned before that you prepped your carb for boost and then sent one to rotary shack. what would i have to do to boost prep a stock nikki?

 

Woot!

 

Pm me.

 

What a glorious day! It's alive!!!!!!! Man, this thing is scary fast. At 5psi with 1/3 throttle, it will set you back! Videos to come later with some finished pics.

 

Just a litte teaser vid for now. http://s36.photobucket.com/albums/e2...0121091432.flv

Just a "little" streetport. I plan on getting the car cleaned up over the weekend and getting some pics and video. Fixed a few leaks, and reinstalled my cruise. The car cruises so nice now.

 

one word to you sam.
damn.


=X


thats crazy.

 

Sorry I haven't got any new vids of the car yet. Between work and everything else, the main concern has been just trying to put the breakin miles on her. As of right now, I have almost 900 miles on the new engine. I was having an issue with figuring out how to setup my air filter. Finally got around to taking care of that today. I plan on making about a 350 mile trip this weekend that will be thru the mountains. I plan on getting some video. Anywho, some pics of the engine bay

 

Ummmm. HTO4E goodness..........

 

Just got done editing the video from this weekends road trip. Old girl didn't do too bad. Averaged around 20mpg. Not alot of excitement in the the video. Just a good romp through the mountains

Did you get the new engine broken back in?

 

Ahhhh, yes young grasshopper..........

 

Sorry the link is dead. I had to edit the video because YouTube deleted the audio. Something about copyright infringment. Stupid YouTube. Anywho, I'll have an updated version shortly.
