yes, big tacho, oil pressure, boost this was designed for off road racing , ext cut off switch etc running an 1800 kombi box because he found it
stronger than 2 ltr box "blew one up"
so far the 1800 is still sweet.

Hi
Don't get to addicted to boost and it will last OK.
Cooling down on a turbo motor should not involve letting you car idle, just drive it steady and keep it off boost about 5 ks before you get to your
destination is all the cool down it will need. And to warm it up just drive normally of boost, don't sit there idling it either.
Steve

what sort of "boost" are we talking here lb'ge like??? and what have you set your red line to????
as above and
imho not knowing the engine keep clean synthetic oil up to it stay below 8lb and 5000 rpm youll be pretty safe
so will everyone else  if you have sensible fun
its just a car for f*%k sake

Debiasi on here ran a 1915 turbo as a daily / drag car for a couple of years without major issues and wasn't soft.
Can ran best of 11.88 was fine on the street, just keep an eye on things. As it is open back temps should be good and just change the oil
regularly,

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

nah sorry i bought it done ,but heres a rough story it was bought as a baja unfinished project basicly a 69 IRS pan very rust free body ,it was in a
front yard and a guy that my mate knows builds turbo ricers and drift cars now ,builds racing porsches .he saw it and his dad has had kombis for
years, so he was very fimilar with aircooled motors and plenty of spares ,thought a race spec baja to take to the dunes would be fun , so he started
with building a full house 1915cc after alot of research about he best engine size etc etc they tried a 2ltr gearbox blow it up and many motors were
trashed .even put NOS on one and blow the head out on the street "those bloody northern beach boys are crazy"finally the 1800 kombi box was the
trick "keeping mind he wanted to build it with as much stock parts as possible so replacing parts where easy and cheaper ,he tried porsche cvs etc
and seetled with kombi stuff type 3 drums on the rear which i still have trouble stopping, but its so hard to drive this baby slow and with no speedo
at the moment its hard to say how fast your going ,then he has put the small "lancer"?turbo and a supra intercoller on the 1915cc and efi system
"EMS STINGER" surge tank etc etc and the blow of valve reciculates back into the intercooler pipe so when thashing in the dirt no dust can get in.
and thats about it, oh a cams spec full roll cage
