[eyecandy]

ok so jason did sell me his 1990 GTUs

I am soo stoked now I have something to drop my FD twin turbo motor into..

First im parting out the GTUs whole interior and engine long block..

Keeping the transmission and diff for another project.

Widebody and complete paint job I will be doing it all.
I paint and restore classic cars and porsches for a living..
I am also making my sheet metal underbody for aerodynamics..

Here is a pic of the car before everything started..
I got the whole interior stripped so far..

Please don't ruin such a nice GTUs, there are so few left....

Nice job! I wish mine was that nice T_T
But you know I was wondering something, I never worked on engines that much, how come on your engine bay picture, like every part has a blue tag or something?

[dreamdrivedrift]

I think it's so he remembers what connector goes where

[AaronConklin]

oooh, is that commonly used, or something original?

Stripping Fd

Ok I have started to stripp the FD I got.
Parting out mostly everything except the engine - tranny - lsd
Got about 4 grand saved up for the rebuild by RB but ust need about 3g more..Im sending in 2 FD cores.
The engine will have all aluminum side housings so i should save about 80 lbs.
It's so hard to find a good used set of 99RZ twin turbos..
Will post pics of the tear down on both cars soon

[GoukiS14]

you started stripping the motor or the car? If you have body pieces let me know

[JunpoweR]

all i have from the body is the roof and trunk hatch or a dr side door and front fender let me know

[JunpoweR]

2 more weeks and the FD is trash!!!
I need to move my 90 GTUs into my shop to start the work!!
I recently picked up a 90 GXL for dirt cheap running =)
A white one with black interior!!(fc owners know black is rare on S5)

I know this thread hasn't been updated in a while but...

Why are you going through all of the trouble of swapping a REW out if you're getting aluminum side housings and probably new rotor housings? Almost everything that is left is identical to a S5 engine.

Needless to say you've gotten some good deals, I stumbled upon this thread looking at pictures on google. I'm buying a S5 roller, 1990 white GXL black interior, for $400. Going to be doing a turbo swap in it. Just looking at some pics. Good luck.

PS: If you're staying sewuential, wiring the FD ECU into the S5 car harness will be a *Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored**Censored* .
