      set the timing today and got some worked done deleted the p/s and the a/c was already removed and cleaned up the bay by removing the fog lights and and air horns trying to figure a couple things in the harness

      couple things removed

      started with setting the timing since the head was rebuilt

      noticed it had a different cam gear seems like the 1.8 cams gears

      factory cam gears

      timing went well rebuilt head with arp studs


      power steering, a/c, and windshield wiper delete

          A lot of work completed.. Turbo fully mounted and coolant and oil lines connnected

          New clutch and flywheel (the previois owner said it a fidanza flywheel and a stage 1 clutch)

          Figuring out the rats nest

          Cleaned up everything and redid the vacumm lines then installed the intake manifold and intercooler pipes


          All the vacumm lines and sensor properly hooked up

          Decided to completely remove the ac harness

            I deleted th a/c and heater core basically i got rid of everything i could and cleaned up all the wiring

            Dashboard back on

            Found an awesome spot to mount the boost controller

            In the whole a/c process i found a lot of things that were done to the car which helped me start the car when i reassembled the interior the car wouldn't crank when i bought it found some loose wires, blown fuses and a bad fuel pump. Lucky the previous owner include an extra one i tested it turned on. I purchased a new strainer the car finally started sending gas

            After insuring everything was at tdc and ignition was giving spark we got it to start

                The car is driving pretty awesome. Definitely needs the f-con tuned. Before tuning i do plan to get injector rebuild kit plus the injector seals and grommets if its not included in the kit. Also the recommend 1 step colder plugs and ngk wires. A new fuel filter and a walbro fuel pump and we should be able to get a nice tune.

                I did get a couple interior piece that need replacement all the green painted parts are gone and b pillars that were painted black now back to oem

                        I am glad you rescued this car. I remember earlier this year when the last owner had it for sale (for quite some time).
                        Congrats on resurrecting it!

                              I built a cleaner muffler I used a hks 3in resonator I had. I used a 2.5 to 3 in reducer on both sides and a 2.5 inch rolled tip. First time welding nothing crazy will be painting black

                              Sounds like it will need some valve work
