Turbo Tercel **Old School**

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.

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.

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.
