yes i found and put a deposit on one!!!!!! 94,XXXks, good clean condition, ran nicely after it finally got started, had a bit of trouble because some water leaked into the afm. After he sprayed some **** on it, and got out the air hose, started and ran nicely!, he said it will most probarly need a new timing belt, which i was going to get anyways. Its pretty much dead stock which is a good thing i think.

it's being delivered to the workshop on friday
It's getting the basic engine conversion BP-BPT, new clutch installed, Microtech installed and dyno tuned, and a new timing belt.

friday next week i should be boosting around the streets!!!! if all goes well that is (TOUCH WOOD)

asian auto.. thats where I got my cut from.

Tell me... Did they steal anything from your cut? They stole a steering wheel from mine, cheap ass bastards.

Congrats on the BPT... There a bucketload of fun. If your done by friday you should come to the cruise on sunday, we can compare cars and engines and have a drag to see if the MT makes much of a difference, tho your prob pushing a bit more weight then I am.

the cut really has nothing on it, a steering wheel, strut brace, the halfcut is a wreck,missing panels. but the engine is in great condition, so clean!. Car goes into the workshop next week, so i can't make the cruise!!! it's the halfcut thats going in on friday, to get stripped, and a new timing belt put on

not really besides a little overheating, car runs nicely, real smooth, and a nice power increase from the old n/a BP.

overheating hey?

Welcome to my world. Im sorting out a new radiator today. Ill let you know how it go's

In the mean time, the best way to cool your engine is to put it in 5th and roll it down a hill or rev it at 2k to get water going through it but keep it off boost. Try a radiator flush. What radiator are u using? Id recomend a BG Auto one.

Yeah you got a bit of room to improve there. Wouldn't expect too much more than 175-180hp with a stock turbo though regardless of the other mods.

Good luck with it, look forward to seeing it make more.

Dynoing yours is pointless. You don't have an ECU to tune. Your setup will just need the good ol fashioned tune up and going over. The only real reason for you to put it on the dyno is to get a power figure.
