Re: 1990 GLTD TURBO
What turbo are you running on that Motor? I saw a photo with large intake air pipe feeding the turbo. How did you set up your air intake. Is that in a cold box? not sure if thats the correct terminology?
Just doing the final setup on my engine rebuild, which will involve actually swapping the intercooler to the passenger side and the air intake to the drivers side. ( its the way the turbo is orientated since its a twin scroll reverse rotation). So keen to try and get some cold air to feed the engine as all of us now. Trying to get enough cool air into the engine bay is difficult. Cheers
Will you run meth/water injection and what boost will you have dialed up for that turbo?

Re: 1990 GLTD TURBO
Sorry bud had something on when typing up the last message, But yeah like I said man i will only be running a street set up, so no water / meth injection or Nos lol, It won't be my everyday car but will treat it with TLC when up and running... I haven't had the best of luck with Mr2s in my life but the love for them is definitely unconditional and I think I'll never stop trying to get one exactly the way I likeALZ wrote:chief1eye wrote:What turbo are you running on that Motor?

It's a TO4 - top mounted, my intentions aren't big with this setup. Maybe hit 14-16psi, It's going to be a street/everyday setup really so not aiming for high hp. The intake setup is the usual setup but if I had the opportunity to use the setup your using I would love to put the intercooler in the boot with the exhaust out the left vent...
Anyway I'm in Auckland, where in the country are you?

Re: 1990 GLTD TURBO
I'm in Tauranga , I'm planning to go on the Raglan run. Had to change my setup slightly because I found I can't replumb the intercooler to the passengwers side because of the fuel filler pipe is in the way. So its a gonna be a reroute of the air feed so it will come from that side and the intercooler will end up staying on the drivers side. I decided to just go all out and spend the $$$ on how I wanted to set up the car. Very much like the look of your baby!

Re: 1990 GLTD TURBO
Mean, yeah I'm pretty blind after the bombays hha, but I hear there is a nice drive round raglan, I won't be ready for the raglan run but when I'm done I'm definitely going to be a follower of the runs in generalchief1eye wrote:I'm in Tauranga , I'm planning to go on the Raglan run.

Yeah I thought you were doing a water / air intercooler why you were going on the left, wish I had boot mount though, only reason I'd do it though will be to simply put my exhaust out the side vent ( completely forgot about fuel hha, so definitely won't be putting exhaust that side )
Thanks for the complement to but has a lot of OCD work to get it to the standard I'm chasing and has 15 D windows now, won't be changing them till I'm 100% done with the way I want my body
