I guess going completely standalone like that has it's advantages is it still the factory paint or has it been repainted at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Larsen Member 15 Member For: 15y 7d Posted 08/12/19 11:06 AM Author Share Posted 08/12/19 11:06 AM that's right at the end of the day remove the VCT and an engine is only a 4 stroke air pump like any other engine. so long as the ecu has a crank and cam reference signal in order to fire the injectors and coils. the car 54 years old, no its not the original paint. I repainted it in 96. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to the thinking behind the W2A intercooler. Dont think I have seen one on a Barra turbo before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go drive a turbo territory and you will feel the difference Dont know how efficient the water to air are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Larsen Member 15 Member For: 15y 7d Posted 09/12/19 08:31 PM Author Share Posted 09/12/19 08:31 PM do some research on the efficiency, you`ll be surprised. The down side is the extra weight of carrying the water supply.

It was either the choice of an external igniter or 6x Nissan coils which have the igniters built in. 6 Nissan coils are cheaper. 22 hours ago, sixman said: Very nice!

Reason I went the W2A is I have put a late model engine into an older car with a small engine bay. Theres very limited room between the radiator support and the grille and I didnt want to choke it all up with fans, radiator and intercooler and end up with a car that runs HOT, I already had the 4" reverse cowl bonnet on the car and figured theres plenty of real estate up on top!!! Might as well use it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
