What did I get myself into?!?!?!
Trucker Mike in the house.
I traded a 95 540i for a 93 FD. First rotary owned. First turbo vehicle owned. This should be interesting. After 3 days I'm already considering an LS3 swap. I don't even know where to begin with this thing. It's a mess. 53,925 original miles Fresh rebuild 2k miles ago Single turbo conversion. (had a GT45R, but now only an ebay special apparently) V-mount radiator HKS Twin Power Power FC Commander DeFi gauge setup HKS Turbo Timer 1000cc Injectors Sportmax 962's on bald tires Some kind of huge turbo-back exhaust A newer clutch that engages pretty hard (in a good way) JL Audio system w/ custom steel tubing amp rack Needs to be tuned to new turbo because an apex seal got blown through the GT45R or something, IDK. Cuts out at 4300rpms, pull a whopping 4psi if I'm lucky. Apparently I just need to get it tuned and it'll push 400-500hp with it's current setup. No power steering Heater barely works (pulling it all anyways) Paint chips and scratches everywhere (gonna slap vinyl everywhere) Missing/broken interior pieces (all coming out) Goals: Gut, scrape, strip, cut, yank anything that doesn't make it go fast or stop fast. Custom cage and panels everywhere. Rebuild single turbo setup. If no-go on the LS3, Pettit Racing 13b + tranny. Beat the snot out of it (previous owners did a good job of it, so no sense in polishing a turd).
