Hi there,
I'm Nate, a new member from germany. I need some help with my amazon turbo project. Some months ago my syepfather gave me his 65amazon as a present. He bought this car 4 jears ago to have some spare parts for his 68 123gt amazon. But the only thing he ever needed was one front brake caliper. Now its mine, and I want this thing to go fast!!
I bought an B230FT engine and lots of other parts from an 1988 740turbo (m46 tranny,intercooler,3"Exaust,17"Rims,rear axle with discs..)The 740 had the turbo+ kit so the engine have 180hp now.
The past two months I have dissasembled everything and eliminated the rust. Now it is time to order parts.
From reading in the forums I found out that the difficult things are the engine mounts, air intake manifold,radiator and intercooler,tranny. These parts will not fit without modifications.
Has anyone who did this before some suggestions to solve this problems?
And how can I tune up the engine to 230-250hp?
I have not so much experience with things like this, but with a little help its gonna work.
