Continuing thread on this hoss. Car has been running well since the swap was completed back in October of 2005.
Whats next you may ask?
The next step is more funding! Ive had to sell off my mint door panels for cash, so I stuck the old stock red leather door panels back on. I also sold my 16' Borbet Type B summer wheels. The stock 14' Ronal wheels will be refinished in their stock Alpine White and installed when cash becomes available. Also actively searching for original red leather front seats.
As far as mechanical stuff goes, EFI will be the next modification done under the hood. I have done a bit of research on 034EFI and have discussed MegaSquirt with a few who have gone that route. Either way, EFI is going to happen, just unsure which route Im going to take. Along with EFI comes alot of wiring, diagrams, soldering, connecting, yadda yadda bleh blah. Ive been there with the motor swap, but adding a different fuel AND spark program is going to be a task. I figure I may get another daily driver while I sort it out. EFI is a long way off though.
This car IS my daily driver and my only car. It provides solid daily transportation while offering great performance for a car with mechanics of its age. The car itself has a very mild QLCC chipped ECU, 2BAR wastegate spring, Urq intercooler, downpipe, and igloo to make things more efficient and work properly. Currently it puts out 15psi of boost through a 2.5' custom exhaust with a single muffler out back, and Magnaflow tips. A video will be coming soon. The car is a hoot around town, and especially on the highway, where boost comes on almost instantaneously!
More updates will come, along with pictures as the progress continues. I encourage those who have any questions about the swap, the car, any 4000/CGT questions to please ask
