Congrats on getting it running bro. I can't wait to see it on the street. Once the Carina is done we will have to go to Irwindale. Do a classic Piston Vs Rotor battle. I hope to have my car done mid summer. I'll probably have a few ponies on you, but that will only make it interesting.

Thanks again fellas...
Heres some specs on the car.
13rew exhaust ports ported, intake stock
550/850 injectors
Hurley seals
Turbonetics to4/ racegate wastegate
Tial Bov..... Ilove the sound of this Bov
Generic intercooler 12x27x3
Haltec E6X
Bosch fuel pump
Home made turbo manifold/3" down pipe all the out to the muffler.

Some one ask about the sway bars they are QUICKCORE front is 1 1/8 and the rear 3/4. ADDCO still make sway bar for these cars but be ready to pay around 300 buck for them and 3 to 6 months wait. I had a set made for the other car and I waited 5 moths for it.

That's all I can think of right now, heres a few more pictures.... I should have made a thread on the build up but I guess I'll go back ward. from finish to the end.

Thanks guys

73import, Yeah I agree we should have a meet.


I may have to re do my exhaust system. The exhaust pipe is too close to the body and its melting my floor board. I been looking at the oval pipes but it way too expensive. Also my 13" wheels and tires cant hang with the power the motor puts out. But I'm having a blast sliding round corners....
