My sort-of restoration

[JoshFair]

i wouldnt change a thing!!!

Broken light and all, looks great

Next step, make it stupidly quick to match its tough stance

Dan has hit the nail. I say put a sr20det out of a pulsar SSS. now that would be off it's face and just as individual as the exterior.. (I am goin to cop it for that comment no doubt)

Firstly, SR20DET is the turbo engine. The SSS has an SR20DE.

Secondly.. Please.. Please please PLEASE don't do that. If you want 16 valves and a turbo, the KR/9A/ABF would be much nicer and bolt in..

Unless you want huge power, turbo 8vs are a proven winner. Hell, even a warm 1.8 or 2L 8v will put a grin on your face..

Haha yeah josh you'd be wrong buddy, i know its the GTI-R's that have the turbo setup, but the engine escapes me, wouldnt be a RB would it?

Well i dont think im goin gto be turbo'ing anything untill i get it to fuel injection, and i definately wont be able to afford a 16v, even if i was i wouldnt do it on mine. I'de like a brand new shell that hasnt had any prangs to make a good start.

Im keeping my 65hp engine and im just going to work on that to make it a efficient daily, and maybe throw in a turbo (on my p's haha -.-) just for the sound of the blow of valve. I dont need to stereotype myself with the rest of the young kids killen themselves with quick cars ..

sweet ride. can't believe some jerks trashed it, not cool! good to see that you rebuilt it. that front bumper is awesome.

2L 8v will put a grin on your face..

Word.....

Any updates or new pics ??

[GeorgeMK1]

So its been a while that i updates, and its just because i've been damn lazy.

But anyway, insurance paid me out for that guy that hit me from behind, and im going to sand it down and fix the damage myself, so i can have a bit more to spend. I bought a 90amp alt, and i mounted it all. However the pulley wont align, and blah blah blah, i need to modify.
I stayed at school today to try and have a go to weld my old mk1 puley to the new one, as i need the V belt. Didnt work.. ill spend a bit more time on it tmoro and tnite.

Anyway, so im walking around the auto room at school. And i notice what seams to be a 32/36.Can anyone please assure me that it is one. If so im a very happy boy

Ps i mounted the mk3 alt differently to waht its ment to be, but it works for me better this way.

[GRN_VAGN]

sure looks like it Bruh,

Last picture, see between the two mounting studs the flat face side? it has what looks like two rectangles. it should have the model number there.

But sure does look like a 32/36... grab it anyway XD

Nice work, George.

INA does an ABF alt. kit that has all the pulleys and a serpentine conversion ready to rock if you are interested. Comes with a 1.8t harmonic balancer too.

If you're keen, let me know the P/N of the alt. you have. I might be able to sort you out a kit minus the alternator if they are the same (they do look it from your pic).

part numbers on the carb should indicate it's specification mate. should have DG..V 32/36 or something similar.

Hahaha preeny that sounds great. I have a few ideas that im going to try out first and if that fails, ill let you know, cheers for that mate

Yep i checked it, its a 32/36 DGAV weeeeeee i love my teacher haha.
I've already cleaned it all, and everything seems to be good, linkages etc in good condition. Going to try give it a run on satday, and probs buy a rebuild kit for it soon. However it has a water choke, going to see if i can change my current one onto the 32/36
