Hi, long time reader, rare occasional poster, and sometimes a classifieds lurker.

Car is a 95 that I've owned for 3 years now. Car has 200k on it but was repainted a few years ago by the previous owner (I have not bodywork or paint skills). Other than a slightly butchered stereo system that I painstakingly fixed back to normal before it burned the car down, it was all stock.

Current plans: Of course turbo. But gotta learn to crawl before we run. Thanks to patience and luck, I've got an MS3X waiting to go in shortly. Just added a header to the car, but only because the exhaust is the original and I did not believe it would survive removal and replacement for an O2 bung to be installed into it. At $50, the header was a no-brainer. AEM wideband will go in and learning to tune as I go. Once I can get the stock engine running on the MS, mods will commence.

Parts waiting to go in: my searches seem to tell me this will work, hopefully I wont learn the hard way. Brand new GT500 injectors (work discount made them hard to pass up, even compared to FF), then tune. ebay T25 cast manifold, begi downpipe, gt2560r copy, forum recommended intercooler. Upgraded 2-row aluminum radiator to cool things down. Toyota COPs (again, that discount) because why not?

Still to acquire: intercooler piping, clutch, catback, coolant reroute. I think I've covered everything?

In case of imminent engine failure, I purchased a 99 last year to have a spare engine at the ready.


Thanks for reading!

Pictures of car burning down?

Welcome.

Thanks! Haha, sorry, could have worded better. Fixed it before it could spontaneously combust. I've never seen such a hack job - OE harness was cut out, but only half. Bare power wires twisted and pushed into other connectors. Styrofoam package holding it up instead of a normal install kit. No wonder it would cut out over bumps...
