Another engine change in this machine, from 4TGTE to a 3TC-Turbo :mrgreen:

Due to a unsuspected customer, that really really want the 4T, i was obligated to let someone else deal with the 4T and i decide to install a totally built 3TC instead, still going to have the power but not the wow factor, hell, i can live with that!

The 3TC is still a solid choice. Is it going to be EFI'ed?

With all the parts i was going to buid the 4T i am building a stout 3TC with only the adition of stainless Valves bronze valve guides and new dual valve springs, this will have the same HP i was going to get out of the AWESOME 4TGTE.

Head with Stainless valves 1mm oversize intake and exhaust.

JE 87mm Turbo Forged Pistons

Much better rim choice, even if they are a bit honda-ish :wink:

Man like what your doing to the car. I just bought a 85 GT-S coupe that I'm Re-doing from the ground up. Well hope to see more of your build

Cut the big intercooler to size so it will fit right, as i dont want to get rid of the A/C system!

I hope when all is installed it will be easy to work on it, remember this will have A/C and all the amenities.
