I had another build thread here http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/showthread.php?t=49362 ,but the car was beound my skill level of repair ,so it was striped and scrapped, so I’m starting a new one.
I then set out in search for another GT
I found one in Miami being sold by a member on this forum that goes by the name of Jbuddy. I picked up the car a few months ago ,but i didn’t have space at my house, so its been sitting at a friend’s since then. i now have space ...thus it begins.
heres the car as it sits .
Some parts that came with the car.
Kia bp05 (Disassembled) kia trans
custom clutch
YIKES! (might be replacing this with something a little more street friendly
mazda VC
Pimtastic!
This engine my buddy greg gave me, it came from a EGT but he had it in his rear mount turbo festiva .his SN here is Eurotiva it lost an oil pump...and since you have to pull the engine to replace the oil pump he just opted to replace the engine. So this one has been sitting in his garage... hopefully it didn’t get hurt when the pump died because i plan to take the pump from the engine below and run this one while i build the kia bp in the trunk...
Thus is what was left of the engine that was in the car when i got it.
It was a kia BP ... i believe this is the engine Jbuddy made a little over 300whp on...
Stripped the engine down ...surprised at the lack of bent rods (other than #4)
All the parts that seem to still be good amazing the crank doesn’t seem to be damaged.
carnage
next step is to clean up the engine bay and get rid of anything that dosnt need to be there. No ac or power steering.
Then im going to throw a oil pump on the engine on the stand , and start fabing up my turbo setup...
More to come.
