      The other day I took apart the blown m42 motor and decided to make a table out of it. here it is dissembled. I was surprised at how simple the motor was, I only needed 3 tools to take it apart.




      I also have bought everything needed to do wasted spark. I just need to go to summit tomorrow to figure out which spark plug wires I need.

                  how did you drive it out there with no spark plug wires/distributor?

                  looking good!

                    Drive it out where? The car has been at Kamotors house since I got it.

                    When we did the motor swap and it had the coil but no turbo we drove it up and down the street. But it's not like I drove it to him in its current condition.

                      I just bought a wideband gauge and boost controller. After tires the car will be complete. Hopefully itll be running in a week. Kam is going to start making the downpipe soon and finish up so I can drive it :)

                        I'm so confused, what manifold is that?

                            Obviously - I just forgot they made a top mount. I thought he might have been sneaky and flipped a bottom mount upside down or something.

                            Derp.

                              I believe Kam said it required a special adapter to mount the Kinugawa. I think all the tcd turbos have the center pedestal turbine housing.

                                They are easy when you have a set-up that's had all of the kinks worked out already.
