No..........but you would be better off with a standard or VL turbo pump.

So I havent had time the last 2 weeks to do too much

Last saturday i went to matt's place, and he kindly finished the welds on the top engine mount for me !. Unfortunatly my MIG kicked the bucket half way through finishing it, so thankfully he helped me out so i could get it done

managed to get my ass up to the shed for a couple hours to do some tinkering.
So I got the angle grinder out and cleaned up the welds and tidied the bracket.
And after a lick of paint turned out quite nice!

Also removed the rust from my battery holder and gave a lick of paint too.
And spoke to an exhaust shop about making up some radiator pipes. And about getting a full mandrell bent exhaust made up ! so will be picling up radiator pipes through this week.

but yes, should have a few more parts by this weekend, and hopfully i'll give it a start for the first time!! !!

Hmmmm.

N/A DOHC 4g63. (107kw stock, with some small mods should make a little more.


Prepared to be disappointed when its all finished i'm afraid. Whatever floats your boat i guess. I rest my case.

Don't worry Damien,

It'll be this guy will be more disappointed if he buys R$!/£s car.

With a comment like that I'm starting to think this is going
to turn into the Kansai saga all over again. So please do elaborate,
Why will he be disappointed? Almost double the stock power of a GSL
will make some nice gains. And it's something different to the usual
Whack a turbo in it.

Haha. Thanks guys.
Yeah i aggree mate, thats why i didnt go turbo. its different to the usual. However I have been considering finding a supercharger off an old Toyota 4age and seeing what i can do with that ;)

But anyway....

He obviously hasn't really read my goals properly at the start of this build thread.
But seriously... how could i be disappointed... As it is atm, I'm gonna have a little more power then a stock GSR... but without the turbo lag... I'm gonna be estatic when its running! :D
(seeing as the motor needed switching anyway, it would have been silly to just put another 37 Carby in it)

I agree Andrew.. lol probably is Roger. Just pretending to be another guy buying rogers old car so he can get back onto CP and continue the troll legacy hahah

Also had a secondary fuse box and my Fuel Pump arrive in the mail! woot!

However i now have this wierd little noise comming from this wierd motor/sensor assembally under the throttle body. Check out the link below on youtube. it explains it a bit better lol.

A 95 Mazda Astina 1.8 actually.
Just had to do a slight modification to the bottom mounts and i am yet to finish the brackets for the top. But overall not a very hard install.
But will be worth it as its a alloy radiator and its bloody huge!
