Our 1987 Turbo II, purchased from a seller in LA with a known blown engine, will post pics and info here..

 

Thrrad moved to the builds section. Will definitely look forward to seeing your progress!

 

Thank you!

 

Here's the night we rolled it out of the garage in Beverly Hills on to a very friendly / helpful flatbed driver.

 

Purchased for $5k with a known blown engine, 50 psi in the front 0 psi in the back.

131,000 miles, we are the 9th owner. Owner #1 had it for 10 years but only went 18,000 miles, 2nd owner did 100,000 in 8 years !

next 6 owners only 12,000 in 10 years. Must have sat a lot.

We (my 15yo son and I) plan to put it on jack stands in our garage, pull the engine and re-build ourselves

Will post pics as we go.

 

 

 

getting closer.... to yanking this thing. We decided

to disconnect the wiring harness from the ECU. Lots of work!

 

we bought an enginer hoist on offer up. then a 2x2 steel tube to extend it over the lifting points

 

Nice work on getting the engine out! Hopefully you'll find that the housings are within spec and with little to no chrome flaking or damage.

 

I got the Nissan Quest radiator fan to fit pretty nicely to the koyo rad, turned out great!



After some paint on the custom brackets I made it looks oem. (see below)

 

great job with the fan setup. i really dig it.

 

+1 on the fan setup. The size is perfect for drawing air through the radiator and the way you made it fit is outstanding!

 

Haven’t posted in a while but did the engine rebuild and all painted and clean, made a video its on YouTube.

Fuel system all done too, Walbro 450, ID1050 and ID1700 injectors, ID750 fuel filter, ID Fuel pressure regulator and all Vibrant Performance 6an lines. New 10an oil cooler lines also.

Doing nylon pushlock hose for all the wastegate lines.

The ID750 fuel filter is super nice with a built in pressure and temp sensor.

 

Bought a Borg Warner S362SXE .91 for $650 only used for mock up.

Dual TURBOSMART comp 40.

Super nice TURBLOWN manifold.

 

Cleaned up and painted the transmission, OS Giken twin disk bought used

New throw out bearing, slave cylinder, master cylinder, and brake master cylinder.

Some new poly engine and tranny mounts.

 

Got some Shine Auto 30mm over fenders and 30mm front fenders, really good fit like oem. Gonna eventually mold the rear overfenders for the clean look

Bought a use Origin Lab body kit. Needs some fiberglass work.

Ended up going widebody because stock quarters were dented pretty bad and fenders were pretty mangled and rusty.

 

Gonna use a Haltech Elite 1500 and a terminated wiring harness, quality is really good and nice. Having all the connectors and fuse box done is really nice.

 

More posts coming want to get this thing running for when I get my license this year.

 

I dig that fan setup. Any idea of the CFM?

 

Don’t know the exact numbers but there are some threads on it and testing it on a battery it blows a ton of air, other guys saying its a great upgrade. Fits the Loyola’s perfect with tedious cutting but if you take your time it fits perfect.

 

Scientific! But its a whole lot cheaper than a Spal and shroud, so worth a shot.
