1993 Touring: SSM on Red, Street-Ported, Non-seq Twins @ 1bar, Ongoing Project...

theorie · 04-26-2009, 05:50 PM

Ok ok, well here's my FD. Bought her near-stock with 29k original miles. Just hit 34k miles and finished breaking-in a fresh rebuild w/ 3mm Mazda apex seals & a nice street-port (seals & porting by Kevin @ Rotary Resurrection, everything else by A.R.T.).

Lots & lots more pics & info on my CarDomain page:

Car looks great. Really low miles too! Any more plans for it?

water/meth injection
re-do the stock mount intercooler as a v-mount
dual oil coolers
new suspension
'99 spec front end most likely
single turbo when the twins finally go (already rebuilt them once)
new seats and also red -> black interior swap (maybe)
'99 spec steering wheel

alright so it looks like i might be getting a very nice deal on either a t-78 or t-88...

and by nice deal i mean FREE.

i've got a really good friend who had this turbo on his LS-1 for about 1000 miles. after he blew the seals on the motor, they decided that they didn't want to go the turbo route. he's too lazy to sell it, and he said he's never gonna use it again, so now he's got this turbo just sitting around in his closet. lol

if i can get it off of him, which is likely, i think i'll have a single setup in the works.

fingers crossed!
