My '76 Rx-4 hardtop build.

Long time no update! Not much got done on the car since the last update. Did get the gilmer drive on and the trim for the windshield. Also took care of some other things like new battery and I tried to tweak the tune a little better for highway driving. Car was running amazing until it decided it had had enough of my abuse. I was having some good fun with it last week and then half way through 2nd gear it just lost power and started running like crap. It still runs, but not right. Checked both fuel and ignition systems and everything is working fine. Checked compression with a regular dial gauge and nothing really there either. I know something internal isn't right though so looks like the engine is coming apart.

Hope its not a hurt motor. Maybe time to turbo it

I have a huge turbo, manifold and exhaust you could use

(my old setup) Only issue wouldn't be cheap
