Im not going to write much untill I get some pictures.
Basically I found a 89' turbo 5 speed, 100% original silver paint, no rust, gray interior, non TEMS rotting in a corn field.
This thing even had the original "Warning, turbo charged engine shut down information..." sticker on the driver's door.
The bad?
-Mice make every thing NOT nice (more on this later)
-Had to get keys made
-Tires are shot
-Engine is a JDM unit, unknown if it suffers from RK or BHG
-Needs spark plug wires and just about every thing rubber under the hood
-R154 feels funny
-Unknown clutch condition
The good?
-No rust
-Almost mint condition outside
-Once the interior was removed, the inside metal is mint
-Car only has 122,xxx miles on it
-Nice TRW 17" rims
-We saved another supra
-Awesome project
The future?
-Gutted interior DONE
-Clean interior ON ITS WAY
-Install the interior ON ITS WAY
-New carpet (black) PURCHASED, ON ITS WAY
-New seats or recover the current mouse house THINKING...
-Check engine for BHG / RK ON ITS WAY
-550's LOOKING...
-LEX PURCHASED, ON ITS WAY
-AFPR PURCHASED, ON ITS WAY
-Walbro 255 PURCHASED, ON ITS WAY
-BOV PURCHASED, ON ITS WAY
-Aftermarket IC from driftmotion LOOKING....
-Holset HE351/HY35 turbo PURCHASED, CURRENTLY REBUILDING
-Custom Greddy Header ALREADY HERE
-4" exhaust, no mufflers GOTTA BUILD IT
-Open WG dump tube GOTTA BUILD IT
-PRO Sport Custom Gauges PURCHASED, ON THEIR WAY
-Red (not painted) Glass bulbs for dash cluster PURCHASED, ON THEIR WAY
-Clean intake manifold GOTTA DO IT
-Clean intake plennum GOTTA DO IT
-Clean VB GOTTA DO IT
-Rid the car of any emissions DONE
-Clean radiator GOTTA DO IT
-Install new rubber under hood PURCHASED ON THEIR WAY
-New spark plugs DONE
-New rubber for the wheels THINKING...
-Having the rims powdercoated dark bronze THINKING....
My plan is to finally put the Holset diesel program to use, prove that its the mean SOB of a turbo that I know it is, and put all the bitch fests of DIESEL VS GAS turbos to rest.
Shooting for 400-450hp. We'll see. No promises. If she blows, it will get rebuilt with built internals.
Stay tuned for pictures and writeups.......
