ok just for fun, here's what was done to the car before it got killed today.
Engine: series 5 rx7 13b turbo with a t3/t4 turbo "mostly" stock
Cooling: VR4 cooler mounted up front with s5 oil cooler hanging
below it
Exhaust: custom 2.5" straight through with cats and cheapy rotor muffler (was going to upgrade to nice 3")
gearbox: series 5 turbo gearbox with mx5 shifter connected to a custom fully balanced tailshaft to the stock diff (was going to upgrade to a ford 9" but not anymore i guess)
Ecu: tuned MTX8 with bosch coilpacks
Fuel: polished surge tank in the boot and bosch fuel pump and some shitty lifter pump.
Brakes: front ford 5 stud hub with crossdrilled and slotted rotors VL turbo calipers
Wheels: front s14 stock wheels, rear some drift 16" rims
Interior: low mounted monster tach and boost gauge. Retrimmed door trims and rear panels.
Body: full stock with wrx blue paint job.
Ok, for anyone who wants to do a rotor, here's the easiest way to mount it in the engine bay.... if using a 13 engine, replace the front timing cover with a 12a timing cover as it can be mounted off the front cover instead of off the side of the block.... a straight crossmember from one rail to the other is as easy as it gets... the engine then mounts onto that.
Transmission tunnels in the 86 are tiny, so it had to be cut out and replaced with a new bigger tunnel either taken from an rx7 or by using sheet metal fabbed to fit. Other than that, custom gb mount and custom tailshaft.... both of which costs less than $500. Exhaust is easy.... just get a shop to make up a straight through system with cats...ours costed less than $400
The first time doing anything will cost heaps... but now with all the knowledge, i reckon i can knock up another 13bturbo sprinter with less than $5k including engineering.
As for engineering, some said it wasn't legal... still on the line sortta thing.... anyhow, the sprinter was re-engineered to have a tare weight of 1040kg after all the chassis mods that were made to stiffen and strengthen it.... it's sortta in between a highly modified car and a custom built car.
Any qyestions? oh yeah, ill be going to the shop where the car is tomorrow to take some decent pics with a proper camera... my phone was all i had at the scene.
