Get a turbo on that shit and become best mates with your local tyre guy.
Hi All,
New to the forum, and thought i should put up my ride
As the title suggest, it really is a V8 S13... The toyota (hence why i joined) 1uz-fe 4L, Quad Cam, 32 Valve V8! This motor, gearbox and Computer setup was originally tuned for 190HP and was in a Mazda Mx-5. I baught the setup off the owner, who was upgrading his Mx5 to a 6.0L LS2 (now completed )...
All in all, there is not much major work to make this fit..
I originally started witha 1989 Stock CA18DET Auto 180sx...
Sold the motor, and baught the V8
