1990 Sedan, NA to Turbo

Post by douglas vincent »

This....

Image

NA block with ej22t pistons, twin turbo heads, has been installed into this, a 1990 sedan I bought off of Ebay a few years ago.

Image

So far, it has been lowered with WRX springs and has WRX brakes and stock 16" WRX rims. Lightly gutted.

The new motor has been running for about 100 miles and then I attacked.

The turbo is an Ebay T3/T4. I will be running wastegate (8psi) to start. Tuning via PP6 and 550 injectors.

I am using a scrap block to mock up the up and down pipe.
