My missus finally gave me permission to turbo my scorpion. MY eldest son is getting his learners and already has a car but unregestered so she suggested to get that on the road so to use it as a runabout while you do up the scorpion. And I said..." I might put a turbo on it while I'm at it"...waiting for the "no your not ,how can we afford that,it's just your work car" ect ect reply.... but all I got was a roll of the eyes,which to me meens yep "no worries"
So I now finnaly get to have a turbo car again which I haven't own in 12 years and I get to do some things I had ideas on for many years instead of trying stuff on everybody elses car.
The plan is to start cheep and go T04 draw through carby then move to EFI and upgrade the gearbox to a celica box and then that would be the basline for some experiments in turbo's and setups. I do plan on racing it sometime but see where I get.
I have all the gear in my shed for getting it started it all just needs freshening up.
