It looks like a 13b. That is awesome that you got it running, but it seems like you have the same situation that I have... fuel leaking and running too rich... right? But damn, sounds like it would be a monster once all the bugs are tweaked out.

It's a TTI Block, with E&J Throttle Body, JW Lower Intake and (8) 1680cc injectors. Using a E6K.

Right, it's a TII Block. Lots E85 leaking from the header, turbo and downpipe. I only had two bolts holding the header on and two bolts holding the turbo on. So, it wasn't sealed. The car was running on a "Start Up Map". I haven't played with the fuel yet, trailing wasn't working in the video either so I need to trace down that problem as well.

Sounds like it should be done fairly soon. Do you mind posting more videos when you are done? I love watching swapped 1st gen videos, but there arn't that many good ones out there.

So, question about no Intercooler.

What is the reasoning behind cars not using one? And how can you run one with such large turbos, is the turbo not as efficient?
