before any of you see this, know that the project total was around 300 bucks. we are a bunch of dudes with no money so the rule was "hey we need this" "can we make it?" and if we could...we did. the turbo was free, and everything else was fabricated by my friends and i. so basically you are looking at a cheap and dirty turbo project that is in no way show room quality or done professionally. so go easy on us. we mainly used a recipricating saw, a bench grinder, a welder, and some basic tools.
we rebuilt a motor from a 94 sc and dropped that into my 89. we picked up the upper and lower NA intakes from the junkyard. made some steel motor mounts. the original plan was to flip the manifolds around and run them out the front of the motor. but they wouldnt clear the mounts. so we had to run them under the subframe and into a single pipe and then up to the front of the motor and into the turbo. the downpipe just runs down the passenger side of the motor and exits behinds the pass front tire. we used the stock intercooler with the help of some creative flange work (i now have to name a child after the guy who came up with the idea).
i know the turbo is undersized but it was free. the plan is to pick up a holset hx40 when i get some money. i looked at the compressor maps for it and it should work fine.
