I just found pictures from some of my early turbo builds and thought you might like to see them. The 1st was a Escort.
So,two people I work with were discussing what was a better engine, a Honda or rotary 13b. At the time I had a 86 escort and I told them anything could be quick. They bet me I could not make the Escort quick. So I put a IHI turbo on a rebuilt engine, had the head ported and used a LA3 computer from a 88 Thunderbird Turbo coupe. I re-pinned the ECM plug for the inputs and outputs that were different and built a patch harness for the wires that the Escort harness was missing. I put the hood scoop from my Isuzu Pup turbo diesel truck on it. Here is the outside:
Here is the engine pictures
I had made a divorced header pipe
It did a best run of 13.6@109, here is a link to it running a 13.8@102 at Lebanon valley in New York.

I broke a axle at the Ford shoot out at Epping after about 11 runs.
I have more pictures of the turbo setup I put on it just before I sold it. If you want to see them I will post them also.
