It was patched up so with the temps really low and then with it patched with some kind of epoxy and some highway rippers I'm not too surprised.
I almost had a 20v silvertop in my hatch but then sold the whole setup(longblock, harness, ecu...etc.) and then just sold the car. Now it's just the Galant VR4 and the Datsun with some T4 lovin'.
very nice... i had an NA '83 280zx



im leaning towards an all trac for my next project. i had a blast driving my friend tylers gsx and evo... so me thinks awd is the way to go. but not until i build this bottom end and put the itbs on.

Your car would run 5x better if you had some real fuel management or at least a fmu until you get the megasquirt . The afm click you spoke about is ghetto and is the weakest link in your set up. fmu and 4agze injectors would be the route i would go if i were you. I too am planning on building a turbo 4age 16v come summer time and thats what im gonna run for fuel management until i can afford megasquirt. Oh and contrary to johnny, your car is the ----. Only a toyota guy can love the looks of the hatch.

heres some assorted pictures of the setup...

yes i know the intercooler is crooked, i need to adjust my charge piping

and now the engine...



yeah its a mess


my setup is a bonestock largeport 4age with the ssauto manifold, 365cc 4agze injectors, barry grant 1to1 fpr (that was my mistake, im getting a 12to1 asap), blasst t3 .48/.60 (almost perfect turbo for the price and this setup. i highly recommend them), and then a ---- ton done elsewhere in the car that doesnt have to do with the engine...

for sure... all this i know. but i just got impatient and have the resources and time at the moment to just drive and try to tune it through trial and error. i gotta fix the fuel pump, it took a ---- on me, and then order my pistons and im ready to go. i may try to hook up the megasquirt soon... i have to go find a few sensors for the edis though. and thanks for the complements. more, better, videos coming soon!

It's obvious that you're a good dude; welcome to HMT. Don't let the idiots, like Johnny, drive you off.

nice setup. I like the exhaust tone from the video. those cars look sick with a nice drop.
