http://www.eville140.com/starlet15/engine1.jpg Got it running pretty decent up to around 15# and was working on 20# when the clutch gave up, think I had a slave cylinder problem as it held a 4th gear blast fine, then it wouldn't pull itself in first? Had to be home so the wife could go to work so I limped it back home about 2-3 miles...so the cltuch was more than dead by the time I got home. Bellhousing has a scatter shield on it that makes getting to the bolts with the engine in the car impossible. So here is how it looks today. :( http://www.eville140.com/hibernate.jpg Already have another clutch, but going to hold off and tear the motor down, half fill it with hardblok, get some billet main caps, line hone and rehone the cylinders. Then when spring hits give it hell. I never got any videos from when it was running good. But here is a tuning run at just under 15#. Was having problems holding a tune from run to run, ended up being a dirty fuel filter and was dropping fuel pressure under boost :o 20# of boost with good fuel pressure makes this video look silly. http://www.eville140.com/video/15psi.wmv And my puppies are still doing great, just much bigger. |

Re: Some Fab pictures
nice randy!! glad to see it running. it's been a couple years since you've been working on this puppy. i finally gave up on the turboford route myself. guess hitting a wall and destroying your car does that too you. :( seems our cars both had the same fate. I gave in to the honda world. guess i'll see how this light wrong wheel drive wonder works for me.

As for the manifold on my car, I have made quite a few 3tc manifolds and that one just happened to be done when I was ready to start it. :) Plus I was sick of top mounts. |
