Well after 3 months of working on my project non-stop, I have her running. Needs a few things to drive but got it started up first time no problem. Came from a car with lots of miles, with a crapload of new parts with an aristo motor.

Slight teaser more to come. Thank you everyone for those aristo write-up I used to base things off and start from there doing my research.
Im waiting till it gets warmer to finish this project, and I'm in need of a few suggestions to get it to driving state.

nice setup! clock your turbo downward and re-route that IC piping; would make that engine bay alot cleaner; youre bound to get a leak

What's all the blue stuff along the firewall?

Battery moved to the boot?

 

it looks like you used PVC piping for intercooler piping....

 

pvc piping is rated for 80 psi and doesn't asorb heat like metal. Did you want me to paint it?

 

the blue stuff is the extended wiring harness I did, measured it 6 inches to long....

Battery is taken out for the winter but I think I may be investing some wire to do that later on

 

yea was trying to get it running cause I had a limited amount of time because I was renting a garage space out, once it starts getting warm again Im getting this beast going again!

 

only thing I know that doesn't work now since I havn't driven her is the tach, I guess I have to get some thing that can bring more transmit to it or something.

 

jump the r7 or r12 (cant reme) resistor on the back of the cluster and your tach will work. simple

 

Never said it wouldn't work but come on man this isn't a Honda they have universal IC pipe kits for less than 100 bucks I used one for my daily driven 1j swapped sc, worked great . I think cx racing makes them.

 

ya i did get one but most of it didnt work

 

sorry but dislike

 

How did it not work? I used a universal CXracing 3" kit and it worked just fine...it's a puzzle but there is more than enough piping to get it done.

As far as the car goes, it looks good. Fix the harness and paint all of that red crap back to factory. I can't stand painted engine parts especially flashy colors unless its a tucked wiring job and has lots of chrome and expensive parts lol.
Definately clock the Turbo and get rid of the ghetto PVC pipe.
As far as the tach goes, search for "gs300 tach fix" and it should come up how to fix it. Its really easy and its nice to have a working tach. Overall the build looks good, its just clean up time. I know how it is. When I finished my build my harness was all overextended my tranny cooler was still in the engine bay ect. Good luck with it!

 

I think that a cool engine set-up yo
