manifold looks horrendous haha

Re: Turbo Tercel **Old School**
 

Il probably try making a new manifold for it later, but at least I have somthing for the time being. I might just wait till I get a 5EFHE head and get a proper manifold for that instead, the 12 valve head is kinda ----. At any rate Im hoping the manifold will last for a while, the place I got it welded said they had some kind of specific rod they used to weld to cast so mabey I have a chance.

Awesome dude. These are the kind of set ups i love. Keep up the good work.

Re: Turbo Tercel **Old School**
 

I got a better turbo over the weekend, yeah the old one wsa pretty ghetto. The turbo is from a Daytona Shelby CS (GT25?), and seems to be in MUCH better shape them mine was. It bolted right up to the manifold Ive got already, and it has a 90 on the inlet side so i'l even be able to use and air filter now. Should be starting the install this weekend. Going to get the used pistons put on the new rods and have the head done hopefully by saturday.

Im still dreading tuning those quad carbs, but I do know somone with a turbo 1100 ninja so I should be able to get the help I need. I scored a set of prelude seats (recarro??) on the cheap so they will be going in and the interior will be coming out at the same time.

I did have a bit of time the other weekend so I installed the new suspention, and wheels & tires. What a difference, it handles like a champ now. KYB struts and "welfare" coil overs off ebay. It was about $300 for everything so Im happy with the price for sure, and it looks a hell of alot better.

Car looks pretty tight, good luck with the new turb

Re: Turbo Tercel **Old School**
 

You are going to hand some people thier asses with that thing.

Re: Turbo Tercel **Old School**
 

I like the car. But why did'nt you clock the turbo and move is closer to the engine, then you could run a stock sized radiator? It looks like it's hanging out 4ft.

Re: Turbo Tercel **Old School**
 

At the time when I mocked it up I hadnt really though of "clocking it", most of the 4EFTE Tervels are using a half rad so Im not too woried about it. I think I'l make a log manifold for ver. 2.0.

On this one Im hoping to get the weight down to like 1300 - 1500 lbs, should be an easily attainable goal. If I can get that weight and 200ish HP it should go alright.

Re: Turbo Tercel **Old School**
 

If you do get the weight down and get the 200 hp your looking for, Then you can totally imberise some duesch bag in his srt-4.…As he does his ricer fly by you look over and see the look on his girls face like ---- now I got to hear this fucker bitch all night. :1
I love it nobody is going to see it coming from a tercel. >:D
