I posted this in a reply to another post, but I think it deserves a thread in its own right..

No 20B's for me. At least not for my FB. I just came from Day One of the Hurricane Nationals at Moroso Motorsports Park. This car belongs to my UPS Deliveryman. A Good Guy.

Looks Stock don’t it? It’s a GSL-SE with a 12A Engine!


Rear View


That's a 12A In there!!


Turbo 12A With Haltech F9, TWM Throttle bodies


Interior


Getting Ready for a Burnout.


Clearing out the Tires with some BOOOST!


I was there. I took the picture TODAY. Full Interior, No Weight Reduction. Celica Tranny, Datsun Rear End, 25lbs of Boost, - 12A engine.


10.19 @ 132.13 MPH with a 12A. Street Driven, Daily Driver.
Who Needs a 20B in the first Gen again?

It's not even Loud. This thing is not a sleeper, it is downright comatose. No One would EVER expect this thing to run as hard as it does.

 

Tight!!!

An old builder named "Jose" told me the 12a's can run. That certainly proves it.

Good post

 

damn that is sweet. and he has my old tach. i thought you had to have a cage running that fast?

 

Ya that'd be nuts .. .

" Hey look Billy Bob this ricer has M/T's hahahhahaha lets smoke him with our Camero."

 

Holy hell!!!!

That's more or less my definition of the perfect car.

 

******* nice mate...

Is the engine based on a 12AT block or n/a? I assume he has the low compression rotors at least? What porting does it have? What about the dizzy? Need details...

LOL Just noticed the interesting shifter location.

 

So much for the stereo!

 

What's that button on the steering wheel? Dare i say nitrous?

 

pictures of a 12A SE running 10s and i have to be the no-life-having idiot to notice that a taillight is out ... can someone please help me?

sweet car! and i'm in love with that intake setup!

CREAM!!!!!!!

 

Direct Freak,

You better bust out with some details on this set-up. And I thought I would never get tired of 8lbs. THis makes me want more!!.

Ryan

 

Haha, that's alright, I was just about to mention that too, until I saw your post... you just beat me to it

Maybe I'm just a pessimist?

But hell yeah, nice ride.

Jeff

 

Looks like he has a roll-over cage... look above and to the left of the driver's seat in this picture... see the extra bar? And look to the passenger's side, right under the hatch strut... looks like another bar under there too...



Maybe turn up your brightness on your monitor?

Jeff

 

Damn...I want a 12A turbo too...I was just talking aobut that. Anyone have any old parts they want to sell to me so I can built my own too?

~T.J.

 

What kinda specs are on that? What kind of porting does it have? Turbo? Intercooler? Where did that throttle body come from?

~T.J.

 

That's funny, the MAP censor on the firewall looks identical to the one in my S10

Jeff

 

That car is really nice ... understated and clean ... I like it a lot

RotorMotorDriver ... I think he said in the text that its a TWM throttle body

Does anyone else think 1st gens look good without the rubberised (ughhhh) rear wing ?

and now you mention it I saw a japanese import 3rd gen which was a "touring" model ... came without a rear wing ... that looked really good too

 

Line Lock for the front wheels.

 

64-1 Turbo, Haltech F9, Custom TWM Throttlebody, 27lbs of boost, NPR Intercooler, 85 Celica Tranny, Datsun Rear End.

Very Tight.

 

12A Bridgeport (low idle of 1200RPM too) designed for Turbo application, (its all in the shape and position of the port). Stock Dizzy welded with no advance,

Haltech F9 controlling the fuel. - All the Differance.

BY THE WAY

The car used to run Low 11's exactly as it is, but with a Blow-Through Turbo Application.

 

Has a full cage, I am going back today, I will try to get more pics of this one. There are other 1st gens out there running 11's and 12's consistently.

Not to mention Peripheral Port RX'3 running all motor high 10's with full interior and untubbed.

 

its has a rear cage ... if those interior shots are from the same car therre should be the front legs of a full cage running down the a pillars if a full cage were fitted

Mike

... Woo 100 posts

 

OK that solves it, its line lock time for me

 

Anyone notice the scatter blanket on the tranny?

Why 85 celica tranny, why datsun rear end? Just curious?

 

Sticking with my 12a was the plan all along and this gives me some inspiration. Although my real inspiration is a carburated turbocharged 13b that runs methanol...but I plan on doing the 12a version! WOO-HOO!

 

Ok, I want to know what kind of timing he runs. Locked 10degBTDC leading probably? What about trailing? I could guess but I want to know

That's pretty much the setup I want to run were I to go turbo... bridgey 12A with a honkin' big turbo (Holset HX35W ). I'd still run a carb though, EFI is too expensive for my tastes once you buy the injectors and fuel system and all that. Blowthrough carby you just need the special regulator and a good strong fuel pump, and of course tune the sucker

Mike: Yeah the factory style spoiler (it's not a wing) is rather tacked-on looking. They don't look too bad though if they're painted body color.
