Well it seems like a logical place to start a build thread is when the project is 95% done. This is my 89 RHD Turbo, i bought the car 3-4 years ago (it blew that summer) than i decided to go big with it.

Car Had: Nice body, Rayz Rims, Slotted Rotors, TEIN coilovers, HKS Exhaust, HKS BOV, Apexi PFC, 720cc secondary injectors, Wideband, Koyo Rad and a few other trinkets

What I Added: Garrett GT35, Turblown Manifold+Downpipe, Rebuilt Streetported 13B, 1680cc secondary 720 primary injectors, Greddy FMIC, Turbosmart Wastegate, Turbosmart Dual Stage boost controller, Aeromotive Stealth fuel pump and pressure regulator, rising rpm fuel rails and block off plates and probably a few other little things but this is most of it.

Still needing to be done: The car is going to the tuners next week so they are loading a base tune, Installing electric fan, wiring in boost controller and gauge and installing a battery box, in the pics you will see a piece of wood i was using to keep the battery level haha

I will continue to load more pics i dont know why i didnt take any pics earlier

Thanks
Comment Compliment and criticisms are welcome

Engine bay looks really nice!!! What ECU are you going to use?

So today I got my car back from light speed innovations, it cost abit more than I originally expected but they did do a good job with everything I asked for plus a few other problems occurred once the car was running so they fixed them as they came up, so that's where the extra cost came in. One thing that really made me mad was that the turbo I bought for $1000 used was blown, it was blowing oil into the down pipe through the seals. OUCH!! Never even got to boost it once!

So on that note the turbo is still on the car, I'm not going to drive it until I get the turbo figured out, has anybody ever had their turbo professionally rebuilt? Any good/ bad news? The tuner says don't bother just buy new but there is a great place in Calgary called Alamo that has only done turbos for 30 years so seems like a strong bet.
If you were going to buy new tho are precision turbos comparable to Garrett/borgwarner?

Thanks

Oh and as for ECU I have a apexi power Fc in right now but maybe down the road haltech/adaptronic/microtech but that won't be for awhile

GreenMachine

So my tuner said that the turbo was blown from finding oil residue in the down pipe and turbine housing which makes sense given the evidence, but could it be that actually what is happening is that all the oil burning in the turbo/exhaust is just the globs of royal purple assembly lube we used to put the engine together burning away, to support this when the car was starting up for the first few times after a few seconds the smoke coming outta the back could fill a parking lot, now that the car had been idling and driven lightly abit there is no smoke at all and the oil has not gone down abit either

Good work sir. What color grey is that on the FC? I'm loving it

GreenMachine

awesome thank you, its called shadow silver metallic it is a rather interesting color in person, sometimes looks very blueish other times very dark.

GreenMachine

Just thought I'd post a pic off the car infront of my store. If you are ever in Alberta needing shoes clothes snowboards and wanna talk rotary here is the place haha 360 snow and skate

I should swing by and check your car out sometime during the summer after this winter is over. I am from Edmonton. Would love to check it out
