12arotary is on a distinguished road
84 AE86 turbo12a drift project (lots of pictures)

be aware a lot of pics!!!!!!!!!!

I picked this up a few months back and have been working furiously on it all winter trying to get on the track as soon as it opens!

this is how it started-


12a draw through t3 with a holley 650 double pumper perched on top








after taking everything apart in goes the new, 12a with a very large street port more power!


then cleaned and painted the engine bay









finally I am here with the alternator remounted to the side, wires all hidden, new radiator mounted fd style with oil cooler mounted perpendicular to that-
so no more bee hive and I can actually keep it cool, the last radiator was the stock one which restricted flow enough the initial owner just removed the thermostat





I'm waiting for my Holley rebuild kit to come in the mail with new jets to hopfully get it running a little better this time around, it was previously set up to drag, idle was around 1800 and it flooded out constantly, not to mention eventually I plan on redesigning the way the turbo is set up so the intake is the lowest point

more to come!
