FS: 1989 GTUs Turbo 6port

FerociousP · 12-01-2008, 05:23 PM

I have my 192k '89 GTUs that I went 6p turbo.

- N/A block with custom turbo intake manifold (japan2la) that reshapes the ports for the n/a block.
- Other than that, it is a fully stock s5 t2 swap (all sensors, turbo, no emissions).
- RB downpipe
- Single cat midpipe
- Racing beat dual catback
- 3rd gen fuel pump
- Griffin radiator (SB chevy size, custom hoses)
- escort e-fan
- Oil filter pedestal used as turbo feed line (hard line all the way to the turbo)
- Tapped N/A front cover for turbo return line
- Turbo Oil pump
- Painted manifolds
- TB modification w/ no cold start
- Boost, oil pressure, water temp gauges (with 1fastt2 DIN slots), fuel pressure gauge in the engine bay
- Innovate wideband DB-1 (small controller, red gauge)
- HKS Fcon w/ map sensor and GCC (don't know what chip, says FEED on cover)
- Stock t2 wheels, new AST 215s in back
- Only broken interior pieces are the plastic triangles covering the mirror screws, all the interior is intact

Bad
-traded s5 wing for t2 hood, so no wing
-motor has low oil pressure after it warms up
-condensation in oil after a few hundred miles(no known coolant leaks, never overheated)
-after turbo swap, OMP lines would only fill half way no matter what I did, ran premix since.
-driver seat bolster torn (common place)
-bad paint (not perfectly straight but no major damage, one side repainted before I got the car)
-trans has been changed so the speedo and 7-8 mph fast
-wiper switch needs replacing
-headlights will not pop up

Car is parked at parents house as I took it off insurance and parked it in their garage for the winter. I can take current pics next time I am up there or I can find some pics of the swap or just dated ones. Its not ragged out but it has the feel of a car thats been outside its whole life if you know what I mean. I am not even sure how much its worth (especially on the forums) given its condition as it has at least $1500 of performance parts alone but the paint and the engine troubles compound everything. I am torn on whether or not I want to let it go because of money invested and would need motivation, but taking a big loss in a certainty. $2500

UPDATED $1800 with exhaust, $1500 without

Why ya sellin Paul?

FerociousP · 12-01-2008, 08:55 PM

I live in an apartment and I've relied too heavily on other people to get it to where it is now... It drives fine, but I have emissions here an of course it won't pass. Its just not a good time to work on a 7 right now.

Where is the car located?

FerociousP · 12-03-2008, 12:11 PM

It is located in Brentwood, TN, which is exit 71 on I-65. I live in Murfreesboro, TN on I-24 and it takes me about 40 minutes to get up there.

jtbshaw · 12-03-2008, 12:13 PM

Mmmm, I have someone that may grab this from you since it so close. I'll let you know soon.

I forgot one more thing about the motor. For some reason, which there is a thread on this forum about it, after I did the swap my omp lines would not fill up. They were lines I made using a write-up on the other forum and are good lines (no leaks or stoppages). The lines just fill up halfway and stop... its weird. So since the swap I've run premix in it.

The tags are expired, but you could drive it home IF you wanted too... when I drove it up to Brentwood I had to jumpstart it because it had been sitting and it ran rough for about 5 minutes (probably because of premix that had been sitting in the tank). After that it ran ok, but I didn't drive it hard as I didn't want to get it stuck anywhere. When gets up to operating temperatures it reads about 8-10 PSI oil pressure at idle but idles smooth

I also have some spare parts that can/will go with it:

- tested working s5 N/A alternator (The one on the motor is a N/A also, adjusting the B+ terminal post is necessaryfor clearance)
- N/A manifolds and harness...
- 2 sets N/A injectors

It's a shame we live on the otherside of the countries otherwise it would've been sold at that price to me 10 months before you listed it.
