87 targa turbo 5-speed build

j3pz · 05-23-2006, 05:50 PM

got an 87 turbo w/ 5spd and a targa top.

engine pulled the original 7mgte, tore it down to find a cracked cylinder and warped head. just bought a jdm 7mgte, and will swap sensors and whatnots from the old 7m. i also messed up the wiring harness and motor mounts while pulling out the oringinal motor. ive replaced to motor mounts.

as for the body:little bit of rust under driverside door moldin. someone bent in the passenger fender and my bro tried to pop the door open and f*ucked up the fender, i fixed it. passenger side molding isnt any good. front mud flaps are rusted. has a cracked tail light. license plate lights are missing. someone painted corner lights while i guess painting the bumper. needs new paint job, and tires

i have a stage 3 clutch and pressure plate along with new vaccum lines ready to go in

will take pictures as i progress.

That sucks about the cracked cylinder and warped head, I feel your pain.

What site did you order that motor from?

Whats up with the egr valve on that JDM motor?

I like the starter just hanging there.

I was planning on buying a JDM 7M and building it to run close to 1 bar of boost. I found a site that sells them for $700 + shipping.

i got it over ebay for $1000 including ship right to my house from japan star motor inc. the jdms dont have an egr, so its just blocked off. just got one lined up. should be getting it sometime next week i suppose. ya they just put the starter right up on the cut up motor mount.
