I'd drive if I went
So let's put a question out there. Right now this car is running 15 psi boost on that (allegedly) HY35 turbo, it's been that way for a loooooong time. I have done nothing to this engine apart from throw a K cam at it. Thus, I can judge it as reliable.
I have a RSI stage 3 cam and 46/38 valves ready to go into a 531 head. My plan is to use yoshifab springs/retainers/washers for this, but KL Racing does have some other options.
Any reason to think this won't be reliable?
All I really want out of the car is to pick up more power at the same boost level. It would be cool to turn it up to 20, but man that 15psi has been good to me.
It's thick enough I doubt it'll go anywhere. The throttle cable deal I'll look into but it's not a huge concern if mine. I think a lokar universal cable will work really well.
I'm bored so here's a couple of pictures:
The louvers I have had for well over 10 years now. They're NOS autoplas and have been tucked away for the right moment. I had louvers on this car years and years ago and never fell in love with them but I really dig these. There were two styles of these made, the previous being significantly thicker than how these are. I really prefer how these look so they'll stay on there. It sounds fickle but that's how I am.
The RSs I got a while ago from Aaron (slow240). They're original 740 fitment and when I get around to it will be stepped and barrelled to 17x9ish. Plans include proper fender arches in the rear and good fitment all around.
This is of course all talk, the car is mostly still a shelf for my many projects. Time and money as always, but one of these days this car will be rebuilt correctly and all of the cool stuff will go on.
This car s
still one of my favorites.
Looks sweet! Do you know if the reproduction louvers are the style you have now or the thicker style you had before?
