Default NA turbo build (and operation lambo door ricer restore + other misc projects)

Ill try to keep the words to a minimum and pictures to a maximum... (hopefully i dont exceed my photobucket bandwidth)


purchased as a project (blown motor but turbo and caged)


Godpeed Turbo kit


Megan EZ streets


Turbo kit was using FPR so this will be set up soon. DIYPNP, wideband 02, rx7 injectors, etc.


Hollow spokes for temporary use.


Donar car for replacement engine


pulled


then gutted and removed (interesting method)


LOLOLOL


Interior before (stripped)


After:


Bride rep seats


Rota grids going in ASAP after fender roll (15x8 0 offset with 195/50/15)


Red donar car motor was iffy so I found a rebuilt motor from a wrecked car (still sitting in my garage for later)


Motor out


Motor in


I might be classified as a horder

SIDE PROJECT: (de-rice this neglected miata and get it back on the road)

Sick Lambo doors:


Rear end was broken (sub frame drooped)


Poor diff


Torsen diff saved for my miata, new open diff replacing broken one


sexy


getting prepped for my car


Engine swap to bring it back to life




Engine is in but not starting... I am trouble shooting the fuel system now. It may be spark too. Hopefully it will be running soon.

Lamb0 doors have been set back to stock hinges, tail lights were de-riced to oem from alteza, fixed headlights from a parts car. still working on a soft top and other small items to get this car back to 100%.

You could've saved a bit more money by just rebuilding the motor

When you part out the rest of the car it ends up being a free engine. just more work and time is all.
Im in college now so I got the time but not the money (its the only way I can afford this hobby)

The cage is not even remotely legal for anything.
