Im none of those things, and hate slot mags, but thought you where making a big mistake lolol. I would have made the trade, but only couse the bigger ones are worth more scrap monies.....

Id rather run centerlines than slot mags hahaha

I have the task of deciding to sell it, or turbo it, or swap something into it. I could have bought an LD20T2 (turbo diesel L20B basically) for 1600, but I passed on it because it wasnt complete... I have a dogleg 5 speed to put in it at some point, but I have too many other projects, along with the fact the military is trying to take all my free time 10 months out of the year.

 

I like the website, loads of good knowledge, and some humorous other filler as well...

yeah, I made the dashcover after being told it would be a pain to do.

 

the color I was told by the previous owner is silver minden pearl, its a neat color for sure.

 

 

There is a blue/gray color for that car but figures the flash was washing it out. So silver... like!

I'm tempted to Q45 the engine bay...

 

For the longest time there was a vh45dd and auto trans (all accessories/ecu/even manifolds w/cats) on ebay, very complete for 1000... not seeing it anymore though...

 

Kinda looking for some feedback on what I should do to make it more fun to drive, the L20B is kinda wimpy. Currently has Weber DG32 or something like that, mallory unilite dist, MSD ign, and just put on the peanut head... Havent done header/exhaust yet, not until I rule out a turbo...

 

What ideas would you all suggest. I want it to at least get 25mpg, be fun to drive, get it sideways if necessary... I like the idea of an SR swap, but it's a bit expensive and overdone.

I suppose I could entertain that, but then other guys with KA powered 710 wagons might think I was copying them... =)

 

Anyone know how much boost an L20B will take before you start ventilating the block? Was thinking a suck through carb setup and turbocoupe sized turbo might work...

 

 

I notice a majority of members are west coast based.
