FC3S restoration

Made a movie about my 1987 FC turbo to sum up the restoration so far.

Spec:

13B REW
T67 turbo, 60mm wastegate.
Haltech PS1000
850/1600cc
411HP, 472NM at 13psi.
Stock port except for some exhaust port smoothing.

Still needs some work with interior and body.

Enjoy!

Props for bringing her back from the dead.
Any goals for the car?

Thanks guys! The plan is to use this car for both street and track, want to keep it clean though with a nice interior so if you have any S5 interior (mainly looking for black carpet) laying around I am definitively interested in buying it.

AWESOME project, thanks for sharing!

How did you mounted the REW engine to the FC3S chassis? Custom engine mounts?

Thank you. The engine mounts are custom, welded a bar across the subframe and attached mounts to it!
